    Aswell

    2 children washed dressed off to school,
    Baked lemon tart, steak & mushroom pie for tea and flapjacks.
    Row with mother in law 1st one in 12 years!!!!!!! a bit upsetting as she is lovely, mothers and their perfect sons eh!



    About to tackle cupboard of death!!!!! Haven’t done it in ages cant get in it and unlikely to get out once I have started, it is the cupboard under the stairs and is full of rubbish, I will probably find a few surprises I usually do.

    I am new to this and have so far just enjoyed reading all the posts as well as flying, feel for everyone who is having bad time and laugh at all the funny stories too.

    Wish me luck I might be some time.

    Hiya, love it when people post photos - I'm so nosey! Been loving that kitchen thread and keep toying with the idea of posting my new pad or not. Not got much done today, done my own jobs and my visiting and shopping for gran but thats it. Have really tired today with eating properly, had breakie and lunch as yesterday it was 4 before I realised I'd only eaten some crisps and then wonder why I feel like cr*p all the time.

    This might seem a strange question but does anyone else always feel so rubbish and uncomfortable in their clothes or is it just me? Don't kow why but always don't feel right, just wondering if others feel like that.

    Shell - how cute!!! He's got excalty the same face as my boy but hes got a black body and legs about 3 times longer - looks very strange. What a cutie
    Border - hugs, thats awful, hope your okay
    AnWs - aaahhh, cute teddy but HUGE!
    Rach - glad you enjoyed your holiday and well done on the tiny weight gain - thats brill for a holiday, I don't feel I've enjoyed myself unless I've put 6lbs on! Lovely home
