embb I don't think 1.6 litre would really be enough for 4 people, suppose it depends what you are making in it. I can get a good 8 portions from my 6.5litre one, think the smallest I would have is 3 litre really.

Back from swimming, I went shopping while the boys were in the pool as Lidls is close to swimming, ended up being 5 minutes late back but thankfully one of the other girls who helps out there got them ready for me. I was planning to do Tesco shop tomorrow but noticed F&V half price in Lidl again which I needed so went there. Got quite a bit and only came to just over £20, they didn't have a couple of things I wanted so will get them in Tesco. Only thing I bought extra to what was on the list was tomatoes (forgot to write on list) and crisps for DS2 (were on offer) so impressed with myself Boys being a pain about going to bed, grr!

PP thanks for the recipe, I don't think I have any condensed milk left might have to get some tomorrow as they do look lovely I do have the rest however (inc chocolate )

3) Then put children to bed and have a very large glass of wine. Can't wait.

Hope your enjoying it - I sure need mine tonight, hope we have some!!

Hope your DD is coping ok with her nails and that she is not finding it too painful.

EDit - fantastic we have no wine, it is at times like this that I despise my OH he is always drinking the wine and never replacing it.

**clicks edit and types IT on the end of Pigpen's post* yes I'm in one of those moods

Anyone want two boys, aged 6 and 8 free to good home!!

pigpen

pedantic cow!! lol.. better???

I'll do you a swap for 3 boys aged 16 (all but 8 days!!) 11 and 8??? I might even throw a girl aged nearly 7 in too if you are lucky??

Dustykitten

Can't be bothered to do anything else today. Never got much further than the loft. Made an Eve's pudding and then none of the kids wanted any. DS3 played up at bedtime even after 2 stories and going in late. Feeling really fed up now - kitchen a state so will sort that out and then see if there is anything worth watching on tv.

Not even going to attempt boys rooms tomorrow - friends with kids for dinner, I so hope they don't make a mess. I have a feeling Aunt Flo must be due a visit!!

:rotfl: much better

& if they go to bed then I'll have all 8!!! These 2 are seriously bugging me, how many times do I have to say 'no' and 'go to bed' for them to listen. Jinxed myself mentioning DS1 sleeping a lot haven't I!

**stupid head on** what's an eve's pudding ?

Oh no still got washing up to do forgot about that, one thing our next house wherever it is must have is a damn dishwasher! or at least space to put one!

Need to feed the fish and Sonic, think I'll get Sonic out for a little while actually, but first I'm going to have a look for a new TV unit, one without glass doors as DS2 has an obsession with removing them!

That's all I'm going to do tonight, will start more packing (after collecting freecycle boxes) tomorrow I think, we'll be moving somewhere even if this house falls through so may aswell, will start studying for final CMA then too.

It's like apple crumble but rather than crumble top you put sponge mix on.

Still not started tidying - will go now and have a cuppa then to bed with a suduko - that always relaxes me in the absence of wine. Night all, sweet dreams (prefereably not about ebay) x

Evening folks. Hugs to Dusty xx

Have finished todays list being about level 2 but not really needed to level 3. WM been on and all ironed and away, done a nip for milk and cold stuff. DS is not well AGAIN, this time full of cold so have spent the day wiping noses and hes been really naughty when we went out, really pushing me. Even a telling off and firmly sitting him on his bum had no effect, am dreading him turning into the terrible 2's if this is what 1 is like.

So tomorrow........

Friday - those frightening Friday kids rooms and spare rooms
Level One
Vacuum the floor, even if it's just where you can see
Level Two
[STRIKE]Clear away the junk[/STRIKE]
Dusting..
Level Three
Strip beds and replace with fresh linen .. check if duvets need freshening up too!! have smothered his cot sheet in snuffle baby so will be desperate for a change in the morning.
Sort through a cupboard/chest of drawers DS wardrobe to get rid of too small stuff
Wipe any sticky marks off walls and doors
Extra Task List

• Time for the Friday Flylady Fling
• [STRIKE]30 minutes ironing[/STRIKE] - don't have any! yeah baby
• PLUS Swimming if DS is well enough
• Bake
• Book health spa

Right, really need to go to bed, DH just making a brew think I'll take it up as my 4 hours sleep is catching up. Hope I get some more tonight lol Xx

lil_me

Oh I do that, didn't know there was a name for it, just something I make when trying to eat more healthy I do lots of fruit and a couple of spoons of sponge mix on in microwave.

Tracyg ((hugs for you and little DS)) maybe it's just the being poorly making him be a little tike?

TV units in Argos are either cack or expensive so given up looking there, well was 2 I liked but too small for the TV, oh well I'll give up on that, suppose the washing up won't do itself........
