Merlot welcome and well done
Squiddly welcome!
Kazmaister have a hug!

Morning!!! just sat having another cuppa while DS has a quick snooze. As soon as hes up I want to pop into town, he needs some soft shoes and we need some bits from Home bargins. I could also do with some new ballet style shoes as I've only flip flops and its freezing today. Now we've moved it takes about 5 minutes to get into town where as before we were in the middle of nowhere - I can see this being a problem. I'll just nip is bad for my budget!

Not much else planned for today think DH (whos being an idiot at the minute) wants to watch the F1 and might tackle the ironing. Have a good day all xx

Welcome Merlot... The new thread for next week will be up sometime this evening! Great to hear you have made such a fabulous start.. pics are most definitely allowed!!!

Border.. make me a cuppa too.. I've been awake since 3:30am due to some inconsiderate [EMAIL="tw@ts"]tw@ts[/EMAIL] screaming and shouting in the street.. and then I couldn't get back to sleep due to pain.. .. I'm off to snaffle some drugs once I can bear to eat something.. and I need to get dressed.. Still in my pj's!

Solwaykid

More cups of tea coming up..
Tracyg, it is the pongy one, haven't tried the disinfectant ones yet- think it has ammonia in-like Border says it's good for really grimey jobs. Tops of my kitchen cupboards springs to mind..

Right, shower, hairwash and out.
TTFN

Solway you have reminded me I did vow to clean the tops of our cupboards many moons ago maybe I'll try starclens on them.That and pull th cooker out,it is a bit small for the gap between the units so you can see all thr [EMAIL="!!!!"]!!!![/EMAIL] down the sides.
I'm off to put dw and wm on then see if oh has decided where we are going,

2nd load of washing now on the line. Dh doing some major pruning in the garden. I can't help but watch him at the minute as he is on a wobbly ladder and pruning the monkey puzzle tree. :eek:

I have just been sorting my teacher file with printed seating plans (printed a copy to give to the lab tech incase i am ever called off for charlie - or morning sickness ), and filed away last weeks lesson plans. Now need to make a start on this weeks, but that is more tricky. :rolleyes:


DS having a nap. We have decided to take him for a pair of cruising shoes this afternoon, and for a walk around the lake at the yorkshire outlet after lunch, and then i will also get some fresh air.

Best get on anyway, before i get caught shirking. Might make another cuppa 1st though,

Michelle, x

I've decided I am staying in my pj's.. and I am going to tackle the boys rooms.. the small boys I'll do first because it is easy and then DS1's room will be beaten into submission.. I am also throwing the armchair out of his room.. it is too big and I am sick of seeing it piled up with junk... so it can go!! Freecycle it is then!

Oh.. buzzards.. I'm having another cuppa first!

pigpen

can the hoppeties have a small plastic stacking box? Or a cardboard box??.. are they ok chewing cardboard?? I can't find a 'chewable' bed.
