    Will have to start watching this if I remember

    I am still reading but mostly on my mobile and can't log in
    to post as easily.

    Miss you, WaS.

    Good luck GN.

    Well I made myself clear on chores. From now on I only wash DH and my clothes, they have to do their own clothes, towels and bedding. They also have to make their own lunch and if they're is nothing in they fancy then they don't have far to walk to the shops to buy themselves something.

    It's glorious and sunny out, the perfect day for having washing on the line, and both DS laundry baskets are overflowing but they're still in bed. I've had to really fight the urge just to put a load on, but I'm not giving in.

    Afternoon my lovelies,

    Hugs and squishes and handshakes all about.

    A wave out to WaS and Welly and Tea not seen them around in age. hope all is well.

    Not much to say really. Am pottering along. Went to the cinema on Wednesday and watched the hitmans bodyguard. A very Ryan Reynolds film :rotfl: I gave away one of my two for £12 vouchers to the couple behind us in the queue. It took nearly 15 mins to buy tickets as one member of staff decided she preferred chatting to the young blokes she was serving. Another member of staff managed to serve 6 people in the same time :mad:

    I am finding that AM is just too laid back :mad: Trying to work out if it's laid back or lazy not sure which one yet. Drives me mad and means things never get planned or done unless they involve other people!!!!

    Have started to buy pressies for the C word. I know too early for some. But I am going to try and get bits and pieces every week. So no mad rush. Got AM covered. But might get a couple more cheapy things. I know I should not do it as he has enough T-shirts to open his own clothes shop. I did buy him two star wars themed t-shirts. Only a £5 each half price in sainsburys a month or two ago.

    Have bought both my step grand daughters duvet sets. Reduced in asda to £2.25 a pack. I asked my step daughter and she said yeah practical stuff is fine as she gets enough toys etc. Might get them mermaid blankets but not sure if they are too young for them as they only both just 2 years old.

    And just bought a new hoover. Lets hope fingers crossed it can pick up dog hair. Was on offer at Argos and is being delivered this afternoon only ordered it at 12pm :j

    On my second wash of the day. Where does it come from only two of us. I suppose its AM's clothes he has been wearing at least 2XXL t-shirts and hoodies. And of course now king size bed linen and massive bath sheets. Ooh that was what I was going to look for microfibre towels.

    Oh if anyone is in to candles. Hot foot it down to your local tescos loads on offer. I bought some lovely pretty little jars with candles in them. Had butterflies on the top of them with the wick coming up from the middle. 25p each!!!! bought 4 for my xmas stash.

    Right sat here waiting for delivery. Bet they wait until I go and unload the washing from the machine and start to hang it on the line :rotfl:

    Everyone take care

    Yours

    Calley X

    No, don't give in.

    It's the only way they'll learn.

    The minute you give in, they'll know that whatever you say, you'll end up doing their stuff.

    You go and do something nice for you!

    She's had a very bad time, personal stuff and some psychotic episodes, and so hasn't felt well enough to post.

    I'm sure she'll be back as soon as she feels up to it.

    We must make sure we don't rearrange the furniture too much, so that it will still all look familiar! :D

    Started volunteer IT work today, shame yesterday and today been very ill with allergies, might be because I also went to part time college course induction as the headaches and coughing started the day after.

    Been up since 8am which is early for me, shows how bad it was when a friend arrived and I could hear his messy eating behind me (he slurps and doesn't close his mouth when eating)

    Meant to be at college Monday morning 9am but means have to get up 7.45am at earliest as need to get bus from town centre at 8.35 and need a shower and get the bus to town (3-5 minute bus ride but buses are never on time)

    I was actually accepted for 2 courses, local college doing IT 9.30am start but the college is crap to say the least, and a brand new college complex 15 miles away but 9am starts.

    And mondays my hospital appointment.
