    lil_me M3-LF-WK-T2 <<<<< Asda code, £25 min spend

    shell have a look at the BT site, when I was having probs they directed me there and did say if they came out and it was a prob at our end ie this side of the BT box then they would charge over £100 :eek: can't remember the exact figure. The site had a step by step guide to checking everything your side of the box. HTH

    Feeling more like flying after a pathetic week just gone. I have done the bathroom and downstairs loo. House is realatively tidy. About to do lunch.

    Sssh it is not raining here so wash on the line and one in the machine. Hoping to get whole family up the lottie/tennis courts later just for 1 hour to get the rest of the pots dug up and kids can have a go on the courts. Need to get them to bed early as a few late nights have left them vile.

    Ironing to do this evening and then soak my feet whilst sewing on a few more name tags.

    Be back later, have a nice day all of you x

    Thanks for the photos they look like they are having a great time. My DS1 and DS2 are off to Eurodisney with their Nan, Great Aunt and 2nd cousins tomorrow - they can't wait (and neither can I).

    Raining here now so lottie off - think I will go and visit kids great grandma instead - she only lives across town and a short visit will be enough for all concerned.

    Lovely pics AnW'sMum! Hope your two have fun when they go Dusty.
    JillD glad you're a little better today and you're still on speaking terms with OH and wow! you've fairly ploughed through that morning list :T
    Tracyg, I can't lay claim to the half hour challenge idea, Lil_me threw down the gauntlet but it seems to suit my lazy b*m attitude at the mo.. Fingers crossed they let you dad out soon.

    Tried and failed and gave up.. One lousy screw that won't budge to take the freezer door off, it would've been a 10 minute job but took 40 mins cursing and melting ice and shoving and I had to put it back on the same way :mad: I went back to bed for a sulk, I know it's a bit pointless when no-one is there to notice it but it helped. Did a food inventory and meal plan and decided I don't need shopping today- there's an asda near work and I can come home via B&Q so no special trips out in the car. Metro centre not urgent either. Progress of sorts.
    Going to walk to the Co-op for cat food and see if anywhere sells bags of dirt for my baby house plants, they breed so fast Aloes! Saturated the market at work and rellies, have to give them away on the front step soon.

    Weather turned out nice after all so I put the washing out and it all dried.

    Dinner cooked, washed up, just got to put the dishes away.

    Harry Potter was good too.

    Having hot flushes now I've had a cooked meal :D
  • Lovely photos AnW's mum, the children look like they are having so much fun!

    No news on DH's dad as he still hasn't gone down the theatre for his op. :mad:

    Not a lot done today at home. Played games with DS this morning then after lunch we went to the park and to my mum's. Back home we've just done some reading and now I'm going to start tea.

    Ironing tonight must be done, I'm fed up with looking at it in our room.
    ...it is not of more importance than daily life, which I have an enduring wish to make as useful and beautiful as possible.
