    That sounds divine tia I'd best start putting the lottery on or I'll not be going. :D
  • Just waiting for the table to dry after wiping all the smeared cheese sauce that the kids decorated it with... the will get ds1 homework done... however I heard there was some shopping going on - and since I missed out on Monday :rotfl: can I join in?! I [strike]need[/strike] want a rug for the lounge (to cover up the carpet - looked into replacing it :eek: ) OH agrees we should go with the rug for the time being - we will see how things look at bonus time ;)

    Michelle I so know where you are coming from - at one point I had 3 under 4 (although that doesn't seem to be strange on here - if you know what I mean) I remember having that thought a few times. Our youngest will be 3 in Novemeber tbh just recently we renamed her Stroppy Poppy which starts a pantomine scene :rotfl: Although she tries to follow in big sister and brothers footsteps her strops are so cute - you have to laugh!

    • Bed for DS1 with desk and fold out bed underneath
    • TV unit - glass and metal, not wood, colour not bothered black or silver, suprise me -needs to fit 32" LCD!
    • Kitchen bin, not stainless steel hate cleaning them and the inner bit on mine keeps smashing

    LOL! Think I meant BEG, must have been a Freudian slip.... :cool:

    All that talk of nakeyness....

    well, cbeebies bedtime hour is almost up, time to go pretend I'm hoovering the stairs. Painkillers have kicked in for my head but I have that 'out of it' feeling... funky... better ignore it before it turns nasty.

    DS2 is looking at the littlewoods catalogue... oh dear...
