    You've got a deal!
    You know they are always good as gold at someone else's house right? :rotfl:
    We should all just swap children around! As soon as they start to feel comfortable enough to misbehave, it's time for another swap! :rotfl:

    I have made another resolution to try and loose some more weight again, and I've been too quick in taking the car everywhere. While holland is perfectly geared up for biking. So get this fat backside on the move again I've decided to take the bike more often. :D

    can you tell I'm putting off cleaning the toilet and doing the ironing?
    I might just call my sister for a chat.. :T

    Just stopped by for lunch - ok well coffee and hob nobs (sorry not HM ones this time)

    Have started on the utility room hot spot - I only meant do tidy my plastic boxes cupboard and it went from there. Also really need to do tomorrows list today as well as hopefully will go to Norwich for the start-rite factory shop and all the school and holiday bits we need.

    Neck hurts as well again now, diclafenic must have worn off and it was the only one I had left. Now waiting for the long lasting ibuprofen to start working.

    Oh and I'm high as a kite on Opium as I dropped a bottle in the kitchen and it broke. Now stinks of perfume but luckily managed to retrieve some to decant into another bottle, cant afford to waste it.

    Will check in again later maybe.
    Mortgage, we're getting there with the end in sight £6587 07/23, otherwise free of the debt thanks to MSE help!

    checking back again.. is it just me that checks back this often??

    I've S&S'd the kitchen, gone over the appliances/cupboard doors again and shined the white sink lol.. need to mop the floor but I'm getting a headache I think.. must go fill a couple of binbags.. DD1 can do one from her room and I'm doing a charity bag in my room.. So we have 3 to take rather than just 2.. :D

    May S&S the bathroom/loo while I am up there... and drag the lino off the floor in the loo.. and then send hubby out to buy a new piece.. it is only tiny so won't be expensive... look I'm getting all carried away lol.. might have to repaint my nails later too.. just for fun!

    Good afternoon everyone!
    Have been in and out of work last week (so much for the term time only job!). Still - at home today with the 3 cherubs! Have managed to waste half an hour on the 'holiday grand plan' website telling me how to plan for Christmas starting on August 26th!!!!! Then filled another half hour trawling through the forums and am just about ready to start preparing lasagne for tea! Might just have a coffee and biccie first though - no need to rush these things! Feeling very virtuous as we managed to clear our loft last week and clean the oven. Apparently the glass door on the front was supposed to be see through!!!! Have also started getting back to school sorted. Sainsburys have a brilliant value geometry set (67p) and in lilac! DD1 is thrilled! Now its just 3 pairs of school shoes to go!
