    Morning all! Just enjoying my last day of HomeAloneness before dd gets back from the New Forest with Dad. Am hoping that he doesn't bring back big dds and dgs with him as I'm not really in the mood for large scale catering straight away.
    I,ve had a proper count and I need to knit 24 pairs of socks for xmas - that's 47 socks and a heel to go then :)

    have a good day

    Nothing serious - just her annual check up :)

    On a SUNDAY????

    Ugh - failed to find sewing machine tape so had to use DIY metal measuring tape! Waist 33" :eek: :eek: :eek: (used to be 27" at worst), inner thigh 24" :eek: :eek: :eek: Now I've done it. Stated it - so must (sob) do something about it.

    Might not paint today - weather looks like it's going to be lovely after all. Might drag hobbling OH out for fresh air instead.

    Morning All

    Wow, I'm so busy at work today.

    Had a great weekend. Hit the town on Friday - and I mean hit!!! Lots of alcohol consumed - evil stuff:rotfl: Went back round to the same friend's yesterday and started looking at holidays for November, we're thinking Lanzarote now and then a massive BBQ to cure the hang overs!!!

    Now I'm at work, which is a bit of a downer!!! Well better keep ploughing through the paperwork

    Hope everyone's good

  • Morning - I'm actually still sat in bed. Plan for the day is to pack for Thursday's holiday, get all the laundry done, do a big clean and have a look at the garden to see what needs doing and whether we can start growing some veggies in there.

    Signed up for organic veggie box again this morning - our local greengrocers is terrible and I'm not a fan of the supermarket veggies. Ideally I'd like to just grow all of my own, but I've got a feeling back garden veggies will just be top-ups. Baby has had a good kick about this morning but I think has fallen asleep again now.
