    I may be about to be banned from posting so if I don't get the thread up tomorrow.. I apologise in advance.. the forum team have pee'd me off once too often condoning lying, bullying and rudeness and to a point encouraging it and joining in.. utterly out of order and against my good conscience.

    I don't want to be flavour of the month.. I'll be budgie-ing about on fb anyway xx

    Have you been shown a second yellow card Piggers? I hope you're still around tomorrow ;)

    Morning all. Up at stupid o'clock as usual. DH still in bed. We're having a 'resting' day today, for me that means gardening - yay!

    Going to water the indoor plants first, sweep the LR floor and find something quiet to do from the lists until DH gets up.

    Did I tell you that when I sorted out the food cupboards yesterday I had some herbs that were over 5 years old. Bad flylady. They're gone now.

    Have a great day everyone.

    Morning all :)

    Was about to write it's peaceful here but I can hear footsteps upstairs lol. Still, I managed half a coffee.

    Sat in (reasonably tidy) conservatory gazing out to (reasonably tidy) garden. Lol, I went out at almost 10pm last night with a bottle of r3zolva weed killer - for the patio, not to swig :rotfl: seems since pressure washing we've disturbed some weed seed between flags - most annoying...

    OK DS is up, just going to sort him a drink...

    Morning flyladies. Boys are actually playing quite nicely in the playroom while DH and I have a cuppa in bed.

    Meeting friends for breakfast then on to the splashpark with all the kids for the morning. Yesterday was a day of planning - garden design, brick repointing, garage improvement, hedge planting, tree removal and mortgage calculations. All important stuff.

    Today we are having fun.

    Morning all. Had a coffee and am musing over my options for this morning. Mowed the grass last night so garden looks better, might do some weeding. Just been joined by the cat (no longer need to refer to her as the young cat)., who's probably hungry.

    Morning all.

    Had a lovely lie in and another 7 hours sleep. :D Pity tomorrow I have to be up and ready to face the world at 7am as I have a work delivery arriving :(

    Todays plan is to do 2 loads of laundry (1st one is already in), finish the ironing, sort returns out for work and relax. I might sort a menu plan out as far as a list of things we have in to make what meals, and a shopping list for tomorrow. I might even take a bath later with my book, but that'll have to wait until after my phone has charged lol

    Hope you all have a nice day :wave:

    Hello, me again.

    Two dog walks, and OldDog actually came out for the second one. Two hours spent in garden, three loads of washing done.

    And a relaxing afternoon planned with DH.

    General mix of catching up and relaxing.
    DW on 2nd run (church mugs).
    Went to church.
    Done a bit of a report.
    Planted some of the many plants we bought yesterday.......
    Vacuumed all downstairs yesterday, including conservatory, and had quick tidy up as MIL to dinner. Enough left over for this eve which is good, as we are out at a Strictly tour (Pasha). Mr N currently taken MIL to town as her kettle has packed up. Naughtily I suggested that some chocolate raisins might fall into his basket while he was there, all ready for this eve. Pasha dance and chocolate? My goodness.
