  • Really hope DH likes them, even for the novelty factor.

    I've just had a lovely bath and feeling nicely relaxed. DD said to me "Mum, you're right you do take a glass of wine in the bath and your book" (like I'm lying?!?) when I'd come out, she said "Mum, you drank all your wine" lol she makes me giggle
  • DC do say funny things :rotfl:

    Morning,

    Had a fairly good nights sleep last night, I think the bath helped.

    Aiming for a low alcohol day today.

    My list from yesterday:
    Things left to do

    Sew more badges on DD's blanket - DONE
    Complete form for DD to go ice skating with Guides next week - DONE
    Change our bed and wash bedding - DONE
    Make beef & ale pie tomorrow for dinner
    Ironing - Booo hate it!
    Sort lunch for Monday
    Check kids do homework & sign their planners
    Fix my bra - DONE
    Go for a walk

    Mentioned in the car last night that I want to go for a walk again and DS said about going on bikes...looks like he's up for the fresh air.

    Just having a cuppa, then I'll make a start.

    Back later
  • Hope you enjoy your fresh air PMO2, I love a walk I do!! xx

  • Not too sure about a bike ride....there's one spot that I do want to investigate having passed it in the car.

    Filling for pie cooked and cooling.

    I've dyed my hair so I don't look like a witch now, I must get it cut next month.

    I've debugged DD's hair again, it's getting tedious....sigh!

    Last load in the washing machine. I'm refusing to do the ironing, DH can do it **stamps foot**

    Kids have allegedly done their homework, just need to sign their planners. DD told me she's another recipe for school.

    My dd used to get nits all the time. I use the nitty gritty comb with tea tree conditioner. She even got them recently at the age of 15!

  • I hated the dreaded nits, I even caught them a couple of times :mad:.

    Nit comb and conditioner is definitely the way to go. I used to comb night and morning for a week in case any more little b*****s hatched :eek:.

    So glad that's a thing of the past :T.
