  • Thank you :)

    Finally all my chores done and everything clean and fresh. Uniforms ironed and homeworks done. Smalls are sleeping and I'm ready to jump in the shower after my cuppa.

    Hope everyone had a good day x

    You are doing fab xx

    Lovely to hear about your contented sleeping small people :)

    Have a lovely weekend xx
    I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)
  • Thank you so glad my fine is gone. It's been a long slog paying that off! Around 4 years :o

    Kids have been brilliant. Youngest is settling into school better although they are putting more effort in after I had to [STRIKE]shout[/STRIKE] complain! The teacher was lovely though and once I'd raised my issue I think she could see my point. Fingers crossed or they'll have one cross mummy on their case ;):o

    It's scary how quick the three of them are growing up, each having their own personalities. They are really shining through recently.

    They make me so happy :o Soppy or what :rotfl:

    You've every right to be proud :D

    Glad you got the school bit sorted, always worth raising things if you're not happy.

    Have a lovely weekend xx

  • Well what a morning!

    Someone stole all DS's Nerf guns from outside the back door. Around £500 worth!! I put a notice on my back gate saying if they were returned nothing further would come of it. I didn't have much hope and called ex, anyway 20 mins later a knock on the front door, all guns returned apparently "found" on the park! Bullsh!t!! Anyway I'm glad they back and I have one happy 8 year old. I felt so bad. He's been collecting them for a few years and have been his main gifts for Xmas and birthdays for the past 3 years! and it was my fault! I'd put them out there why I cleaned the shelves they're stored on.

    More annoyed some cheeky so and so felt they could come over the fence and take them while they could clearly see I was just behind the door cleaning!

    We are quite lucky in that most know who their dad is and we've only ever had one thing taken (which again was returned the same day) So it made me furious!

    Anyway peace is restored and treasured toys back on shelves, lesson learnt for me :o

    Nothing much else going on. We are just pottering around the house/garden and cleaning bits. Kids playing with friends.

    I am sick of sweeping outside and an hour later it looks just as bad so I've come for a cuppa and a catch up.
  • The fine being gone made me so happy. I know the others still on there but that isn't mine :D

    Next is to smash that council tax down as that's a big thing.

    Received my £50 cheque from Populus so will need to take that to the bank this week.
