Hello properly!

Frugal jo, well done on the 2nd no smoking day,I'm on a mission of my own devising and hope to be stopped by November. Keep busy!
Happy new oven lil_me!
Kazmeister, had to read your dropped bottle incident more than once; I thought blimey that's an admission to make on here 'til I twigged..Opium perfume. Crikey, that'll linger!

Decided today that I'd prefer to start work earlier and finish earlier and beat the traffic so I've 'kitchened' since I got home just after 5.

Washing machine on, weather changeable today (what's new :mad: )

Living room rug covered in dog hair and "bits", needs hoovering

Last day of kids' summer holiday :undecided Back to annoying alarm clock tomorrow

Freezer was defrosted and cleaned on Sunday, wiped windowsill, everything looks nice and shiny

Lil-me Sounds like you are having fun with your new oven after the initial delivery nightmare. Enjoy

Becca You have been on a roll, wish I could ride my bike here more easily. Too many hills and too dangerous (and my bum is too big:eek: )

Pigpen: how talented you are, sewing uniforms!!

JillD: Did your OH get away ok? Hopefully you are not so stressed now, but still have to do it all yourself, don't go into labour, take it easy

Have a nice relaxing evening all:j

Bother was just thinking yeah a little bit of paperwork and the ironing to do and that is my full list - went into the bathroom and forgot the oven shelves are soaking in there.

Flippin' heck, loads of posts to catch up with.
Everyone has been soooooooooo busy!

The kitchen has been done, even the oven, just the floor to hoover and then clean in a bit.
Halfway through cleaning the dining room, just having a break.

Thankfully DH's dad had his op this afternoon and is ok. Huge sigh of relief all round.

Dentist first thing in town with DS this morning, all ok, just see them again in 6 months time.
Got a couple more items sorted for school, sorry to mention again Pigpen!

DS is amusing himself quite happily bouncing on his trampoline so I'm letting him carry on, tomorrow I doubt we'll step outside if the weather forecast is anything to go by.

Lil_me- what a pain the delivery people were again, but I hope you are enjoying your new prized possession.
Boston- sorry to hear your health isn't too good, take it easy won't you.
Solway- flamin' fleas, our ones a month or so came from a cat who adopted us for a month or two, he's now been banished!

Right better get back to it as not that much more to do really.

Lastly, we heard the social workers liked us last week when they visited. :j That's hurdle one, hurdle two is next week when the LA go to court. That's a biggie and things could fall flat on their face for us all again. Trying to remain calm until next Wed when we should know if we are likely to become a family of 4 or not.

Evening! Just checking in to look at my list so I know why I feel so whacked! Had a viewer tonight so been right through the house so at least the rest of the week wont be too hard, DH got in early so managed to hoover under sofas while I had it out so thats less for tomorrow. DS really unsettled tonight so think another tooths coming (hes got 8 already!) so sat and rocked him to sleep for half an hour which was really lovely actually.

Bad news about my Dad, hes got to stuff in hospital for another 9 days!:mad: :rolleyes:
Hes not a happy bunny but at least hes in the best place and hopefully they'll be able to save the plate hes had put in.

Ginger girl - can you point me to the plan about Christmas? 26th August is my birthday and couple of weeks after then I should be settled in new house and what to plan for Christmas properly this year - love it!
Pigpen - wow, your DD looks stunning even with the black eye (that looked really nasty)
Tinsel - sending you postive vibes for next Weds, glad DH Dad is okay
Lil me yay on the oven! Mines got those rough sides too, just have to clean the bottom
