Hi sexymouse

What time are you supposed to pick your sister up? Make sure you have some breakfast - you'll soon be flagging if you don't!

Hope you enjoy your day and tell your sister not to nag!

Have to leave her house at 7.45 cos she likes to get to work earlier than the 8.30 she is paid for - yesterday I told her that I wasn't going to rush like mad for her to get to work early even if everyone does get in before her! She's my younger sister too!

Morning

I knew there would be loads of us logging in to check for news this morning! It's so exciting, I am another one who won't be back to check until this evening.

Jue I reckon we can all be excused from cleaning our keyboards this week

Sexymouse it doesn't matter what time I get up or what time I have to be out of the house I always have breakfast as I can't function if I don't haves omething. As you are the driver it is imperative that you feel ok to drive and if that means cup of tea a slice of toast before you leave then so be it. Hear endth the lesson

juliejim

Nobody ever thanks you for starting work early - they just start to expect it!

Have a good day - I hope you're enjoying this new job.

Hey don't even joke about it!! Last delivery I got the guy told me I smelled really nice and asked what perfume I wear!!!!.. AND... He is French.. I half expected a Pepé style chase.. Le puff.. Le pant!!! ...

Pigpen - thank you very much for that - I now need to clean the computer screen as it's covered in coffee :rotfl:

Think I'll go and see my mate today as my hands are better than they were but I don't want to go irritating them by cleaning properly Its easier for me to go and see her as her eldest (only 6yrs) is off school with measles :rolleyes: But it does mean we can stand out on her step and gossip and man-bash without her baby calling every 2 seconds as the baby has been shipped off to Nannas as she's only 5-months old!

Might take a looksie in Matalan as well - I have a £5 off voucher and we really need a mirror in the livingroom, I can't stand anymore running up and down the stairs every time I want to check I don't look like I've been dragged through a hedge backwards twice before I go out :rotfl::rotfl: Will also have a look at the new seasons clothes again, this time I WILL remember to take my purse and card :rolleyes:

Right, off to put on some slap to try and disguse my bloodshot eyes (OH was talking in his sleep & tossing & turning all night so I've hardly slept!) and then I should really do DDs hair as its school photos today :eek: OH has been saying "Don't do a toothy grin - you're missing 3 teeth, lets have a nice smile" - I told her "big toothy grin if you want to - you smile however you want to:p " :D:rotfl::rotfl:

Laters :wave:

pigpen

No news then??

Nicki.. pc cleaning is on todays list! lol


Everyone out to school.. almost.. just waiting for the guys to come do the boiler. I am in a jolly old mood.. so.. any messing from you lot I'll tickle you to death with my feather duster of power!! and spank your bottoms with a golden mule and make you stand in the naughty corner with the vacuum cleaner bag on your head!!! :rotfl:

DS1 kicked off again last night.. his friend had apparently been stabbed in the stomach in the town centre while he was with him.. when DS shouldn't have even been there, he told me he was elsewhere.. I didn't know where he was.. by the time he answered his phone I had in my head it was him who'd been stabbed.. then he behaved like a total f***wit for a few hours.. so he is banned from talking to me.. I can't be @rsed.. after what he said to me right now I don't care if he never speaks to me again!!!

Best brush my nest and make myself lovely enough to go out of the house.

Pigpen thats awful about the stabbing. Sounds like your DS is being a right little sh*t at the minute, hope he settles down
Shell your DD looked lovely, glad it went okay
LJD1 hugs, hope things get back to normal
hugs to everyone who wants one

Didn't get anything done yesterday in terms of flying, hoovered round downstairs and S&S kitchen and had a tidy and that was. Took DS for a walk and posted stuff I needed but got my walking buggy out of garage and it had a flat tyre so walked to halfords for a repair kit. Used the other little pushchair and rattled all the way. DS isn't well at the minute, sure its teething again as hes hot and loads of nappy changes but hes eating and drinking so not too worried. When we got in all he wanted to do was cuddle so sat with him and he nodded off in my arms - not done this since he was a baby and it was lovely:D After tea sat and did a load of paperwork last night so drawer is clear and 14 letters to post today!

Off to my parents this morning and then popping back for DS to have a sleep and to let dogs out, might squeeze a bit of flying in then. Then back to my parents once I've collected cousin from school and having tea there for a change.

Enjoy your day guys, will check in this afternoon to see if theres any news xx

*runs before Pigpen can catch me to tickle and spank me...ooohhh matron!LOL
