Morning!

One too many glasses of wine here last night oops but kiddies playing happily.
Will go put kettle on - mum stayed over and we put the world to rights - not done that in ages!

Quite a full day here, from about 11.

DD lost another tooth they look funny, they've both got the same gap! DS lost his first in September (age 6.5) and his top ones were first so they are just about grown back, but bottom ones came out last month. DD has started much younger (age 5.4) and bottom ones first - how funny! Might get a pic of them together, for posterity;)

Want to get last of washing sorted this morning. And sort bags for Monday. And clean fridge out before groceries are delivered. That's about all I'll achieve I reckon.

Have a nice Sunday everyone.

Oh, DS cake is sorted - looks cute - will do a pic in the week when it's assembled

Morning all. Glad you've put the world to rights Bossy, seems a much happier place this morning.
Or that could be because the dogs actually let me lie in - till quarter to 8, yay! And I have two lots of good news for a change.

So far today, I have put pork in the slow cooker and watered my plants. Just having breakfast now.

Have a great day everyone.

Morning lovelies :wave:

What a week its been....but ended on a happy note.......

my new granddaughter was born yesterday morning, 6lbs 4oz

:beer: :j :T :A :cool:

both well, shes been up all night trying to get her to latch on but is making progress now, they wouldnt let her home last night because of it so vibes that she starts proper feeds, shes had 3 since 1am and she was so proud she did the last one herself, bless her.

So, house is a pit, ive got about 8 loads of washing, got no food in the house, will spend most of the day either visiting at the hossy or at her home depending wherw she is later on, i need to go to the shops for baby pressie stuff to take with me, my lovely customer already made me a handmade card which is just beautiful, my heads still in a whirl, i was in with her and her hubby and ended up at the catching end somehow with the midwife, I saw it all and it was the most amazing thing ive ever seen, of course we cried

Best get shifting ive only just got up too so way behind already, I just wanted to share my wonderful news with my lovelies

Laters, hope everyones well x

Morning all
Congratulations on the new arrival embb, welcome to the world little one. Hope feeding gets established well soon,
When my DGS was born he had probs because of tongue tie - has that been ruled out?

Jazee

Many congrats to you and yours Embb, how lovely.

Since my last post I have WUDUPA and spent an hour 'jogging' on the rebounder while watching telly.

Got a little lump in my throat, there, Embb. Huge congratulations and *latching vibes* heading your way.

Glad to hear the doglets let you have a lie-in this morning Jazee.

*Healing vibes* for you Pigpen. It sounds to me as though you are thoroughly run down. I know you can't just stop, but it sounds as though you need to.

New storage stuff going up to the attic today and if it's warm enough I'll start tranferrring some of the gibble up there into it. How sad am I that I'm actually pleased with this idea?

Mumof2_2

Many congratulations Embb - it must have been amazing to actually see your dear little grand-daughter being born! Sending good latching on vibes to the little one. So pleased for you!

Pigpen now I know you're not a hugger but I'm still sending you one because it just sounds like you need one. Well done on the ebay sales but I know how hard it is when money is tight and you're unwell. Thinking of you x

Honey Bear nothing sad at all about looking forward to sorting out storage in the loft you know - it'll make you feel good and that's fab.

LW yay for doggie visitors! Hope you have a fantastic time with your guests.


Got to help S with his homework and then we're off to empty the allotment shed and take away the last few bits. Done my letter handing in notice so will pop that through the letter box and we will get out £100 deposit back when we hand in the keys. After lunch going to take the dogs for a walk somewhere.

Got lots of ironing to do but I'm feeling pretty on top of things after having spent a good hour going through paperwork/filing and did a list of what we need to do which always helps. J being lovely, long may it continue

We got up this morning to a totally trashed house.. so I have 2 rooms vacuumed. Girls under threats their toys will be binned if they don't get them picked up before I finish my cuppa.

My head is pounding and OH is crunching his cereal really loudly and I want to smash his face in with the dish... BREEEAAAAATTTHHHE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tabsticks party later which is why the girls are so full of it I think.

My voice is lots better today but my snuffler is streaming. My hands are still itching too

embb .. congrats again she is very lovely xx hope they are home soon

I need a slightly windy dry day so I can burn through all this washing.. there is a mountain to get through.

Morning all

LW - Yay to having doggies again.
MrsMP- Yay to your son. I agree you must be proud.
Yorkie - I hate days like that.
Pigpen - Hope you're feeling a bit better today.
Embb - Congrats to you all on the new arrival!

DD is home today but I have no idea what time so I'm not going anywhere as she's left her keys here. She has inset tomorrow so there's no rushing to get her stuff sorted. I am going to have to repair her blazer though as she's somehow managed to split the seam in the armpit. She needs to go for a new school bag tomorrow, and swimming costume. I really need to write a list for our trip to town tomorrow on errands....I have a horrible feeling its going to cost me quite a bit.

Zack is boucing (literally at times) so must be making up for the very lazy day he had yesterday which was mostly spent asleep on the sofa. One toy already been added to the mending pile after he's ripped it through his enthusiasm. I can see more being added if he keeps this up!

TD emptied, damp stuff put back in and its finished again. WM is on with the quilt from the sofa (eau de pooch again as he keep laying on and slobbering on it or licking himself clean so he gets the quilt as well). Forecast is overcast so I think I'm going to leave the livingroom curtains until the next sunny day to make sure they get washed and dried the same day without having to go in the TD. I also need to get some work stuff done as I get my delivery tomorrow so I've just printed a copy of the invoice to speed that process up.

Personal:
Set up & organise planners
Sort stickers (1cm square)
Ironing
NYCP
Book dentists
New Cold Callers sign for the door.
Demould hall (incl front door), livingroom, kitchen
February, March, April calenders - remember school dates!
Wash livingroom curtains, my quilt, DD's quilt,
Iron blinds

Work:
Thur/Fri: Get cards prepped for Monday.
Email ASM for confirmation of territory (I'm sure I have the other side of the road but I want to check first!)
Accounts (C18, 1, 2, 3)

Manic Monday - Kitchen
Level One
Clean floor - vacuumed, mopped but it needs scrubbing
Level Two
Clean kick boards - will do when I scrub the floor.
Tuesday Living Room, Hall and Stairs
Wonderful Wednesdays - Master Bedroom & Landing

I better get on with things . :wave:

Thank you so much for letting us know the outcome of that hideous assessment, Lamewolf, and how lovely that you've got canine company! Happy days.

Ah, no, I'm still waiting for the outcome of the interrogation by the Bully; she said I may have to wait up to 8 weeks to hear.:(

I had to reapply for ESA as well as applying for PIP because DLA is being scrapped.

The Bully was assessing me for PIP; it's the ESA that's been awarded without argument - well, I do have a document from the MoD, from when I was granted medical retirement, stating that I will never again be fit for work, on both physical and mental health grounds!

Well its been an interesting day. I was washing the dogs paws after our walk and someone knocked on the door. This resulted in the dog tearing around the place with wet muddy feet. Then I used my handheld vac and it came apart dropping more mess than I had hoovered up. I got the big hoover out and somehow managed to knock over the vase of flowers on the kitchen table with the cable. Then I went to make tea and discovered that the drain hole in the fridge was blocked and everything on the bottom shelf was swimming in water. At that point I gave up.

OI! COYOTE! Get out of YL's house and leave her in peace!

Awww, poor YL; why is it that when things go awry, they do it in battallions?
