traceyg loving the new avator. Spotted it straight away. He is so sweet i could take him and pretend he was mine. What i would do with two 10 month olds i don't know, but he does look beautiful
lilme - i will also take chance to wish you a very happy birthday tonight as i don't think i will be on till late tomorrow as we are off out at 9:30 and won't be back till late. Whatever you do, try to have some fun, and we will all be thinking of you.
pigpen same goes for you, won't be around to wish you a happy hols. I'm sure it will be good while you are there. A change is as good as a rest and all that.
i'm a bit spooked as well by all your ghouly talk. Don't think nicki spotted it as she would love it all with her love of the ghost stories on the radio.
BM due to finish for the 2nd time now, so another half an hour of being up at least to deal with the cooking and then the mess clean up. :rolleyes: Moral of the story is when DH is helping, don't trust that he can follow a simple recipe and ask subtle reminders. (I'm not discouraging him from helping as he has been a star tonight.)
Anyway, going to log off so nighty night0 -

Morning all
Wonder if anyone will remember me... it's been soooooooooo long since I was on the wagon properly. Haven't totally dropped off it but DH was on hols plus we had some visitors etc so I've not been checking in.
But now I'm back. Going to have a quick runaround the kitchen and living room. I'll sit with a cuppa later if my now-extremely-active 10 month old DS will allow it and catch up with everyone's news.
Just time for a quick HAPPY BIRTHDAY LIL_ME!!! Have a fab day.....

Happy Hols Pigpen!!:j
Love the new pic tracyg - he looks so cheeky!:D and whats the spooky stuff??
Very impressed with myself this morning as hair washed, showered and slap on by 7am. DH lunch made, kids fed and breakfast dishes done and put away. Beds aired and made. Kitchen S & S. Detangled DD1's hair too.:T
Still got all the lounge to do but dont like to get the hoover out before 9am 'cos of the neighbours (not that I have heard their hoover once in the almost 3 months we have been here!!!:eek: ).
So todays todo list:-
Lounge tasks
Decobweb hall
Mr T order to put away
Make curry for DH & Me
Make more onion & chive rolls
Make jam tarts with littles
Driving lesson this evening
Straighten hair when dried
Sort through paperwork pile DH says is mine (statements etc so how this is just my stuff not sure)
Hoover through
S & S Bathroom
Mop kitchen, hall and bathroom floors
Do online application for job
We have got more rain again today so no washing done - on the upside this means no ironing:rotfl: but then it will mean playing catch up if we ever have a dry day again:mad: .
Happy flying everyone, I have been summoned to brush My Little Ponies hair, think they are worse than DD1 hair to do:eek: .0 -
Morning All
Happy Birthday lil-me:bdaycake:
Happy hols pigpen.
Hope you're feeling better after your rest Jill - take it easy you haven't got long to go now (when are you due by the way?)
Glad your day at work went well Michelle and Charlie enjoyed nursery.
I did nothing yesterday as I had a Board meeting in the morning then work in the evening. DH was on a night out so I had to take DS to his work because he was taking him in the lorry with him and then DD to my brother's house so I was hardly in the house at all.
Work wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I was dreading it as this was my first night in after all the changes had taken place.
Going to make a start now so will update later.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY lil_me

Morning everyone!
Happy birthday lil_me!Hope you have a really nice day, and make sure you have a day off - you're excused from flying today.
Jill I hope you are feeling a bit better and that you got a good night's sleep for a change.
tracy he looks like a little angel. I noticed straight away too. Making me feel broody lol.
Well, I've been awake since 7.45 but as yet still haven't got dressed, had breakfast or tidied away the cooking things from last night which OH was meant to do and has only done half of, so I'd better get going.
Am having my hair cut tonight, which I'm really looking forward to as it needs doing desperately as I can hardly get a brush through it without pulling half of it out - I know what your children are going through as my hair is long and wavy. Quite pleased with myself as I've managed to get it for a third of the price I would normally pay as I'm going in for T&G model night so it's only costing £10. Hope they do a good job though, as I've had disasterous haircuts in the past, and don't want to have to pay again to fix it.
STOP GABBLING MOUSE AND GET A MOVE ON, YOU'VE GOT FLYING TO DO!
Cya later,
