Still havent managed to move from computer.

Am rooting for laddo. At the English championships he got a silver for his sparring in his weight and class, but had got injured in previous fight. He's got another 18 months or so grading before he can even go for his black belt so I'm really proud of the level he's competing in. His school is a large one with 16 locations and is one of the best in the country. They had something like 27 golds at the world championships earlier this year, including one of his friends Emily who is officially a world champion :T :T

Glad its nearly bonfire night - need a rocket up my jacksie today, can someone light the taper please.

Good luck with the freezer - I feel more lollies coming on for you this morning.

Oh and I'm with you on the wedding thing lil-me. OH and I have been together 11 years but I cant be done with the hassle of arranging it all. Told OH to arrange it all for when all my family were in Spain and he obviously couldnt be bothered either. Wish you all the best Rach, but try not to get too stressed, it takes the enjoyment out of the day.

Let us know how baby Matthew's getting on as well please, plus good wishes for all other poorlies.

Plods slowly off now to do something ............

:rotfl: was 3am when I finally got to bed, sorted the dogs out then DS2 woke up, got him back to bed and DS1 was up for over an hour. I got maybe 4 hours rest, nothing unusual there!

Kaz that is good, update us when he gets back lollies shelf will not doubt be raided by the boys today, I've got toothache still after having two last night

Coffee anyone? Added spoon full of motivation is what I could really do with. Will be phonging Matthew's Mam tonight, with him feeding now of course things are looking up, I think they said 2 weeks and he should be able to have his op, there are other little ones waiting and need an intensive care bed to do surgery, only problem is I think I am getting my cold back so might not be able to go and see him I desperately want to meet him but the last thing he needs is a cold!

Morning lovelies! :wave:

Rach one thing that struck me whilst reading your post about your friend, is she not helping you organise things?
Kaz wow the British Championships - very impressive, hope your son does extremely well :T

Just going to have a 'wing-it' day here today as nothing planned as such, gonna give the kitchen a going over, prep the tea, a bit of a tidy and that's about it. Oh and the uniforms - I haven't washed them yet - eep! best go get them in.

rach

morning all

thanks for the kind words: i realle day am ok at the moment, was just mildly annoyed by friend having a go! i really do want to enjoy the day and i know i will. having got loads of stuff done this week i feel a lot better! am giving the first invite out today and OH is posting all the others tomorrow so all is good! feels very exciting to give an invite out! i have a pic of me in my dress and i keep having a peek!

WM is on, right, better get dressed, need to be at church by 10am (breakfast first) so i can do the harvest service. lunch after which is good as it saves me cooking! then having coffee with a friend, should be nice. after that i HAVE to do the writing as the deadline is tomorrow and i have a couple of appointments then. if i just sit at my desk and ban facebook and mse i should get it done in 2 or so hours!

havea good day all.

rach

em, she lives about 150 miles away now. she is actually taking the service for us so nearer the time will be. i have a couple of other friends who are really helping me with stuff though i think half the problem is i like to do things myself! interestingly one of the jobs i've delegated i'm 100% happy to leave cos i trust that friend comlpetely to do a great job!

Morning guys. Not been up too long as DH let me have a lie in, both him and Ds are back in bed now though. Sat here planning a few jobs I want to get done this week and just trying to get a bit of organisation back, things feel a bit like they're slipping. So DW on, think I'll get WM on in a min - been soaking DS's sickie stuff overnight, have done a quick tidied around and put away a tonne of toys!

Not got much planned today, off to a party later with DS and DH is going to cook a meal tonight - eek not sure what hes after. Woke up really 100% better this morning and no more sick from the wee one.

LIlme - great news!
Kaz - hope your DS goes on okay, my DH was a kickboxing english campion so have sent many an hour at comps
Rach - I was the same planning my wedding, wouldn't let anyone help cos I don't trust them, just remember its your day and try and take it a bit easier near the time as you want to enjoy it and not been too stressed. The wedding yesterday the bride was ill as she had pushed and pushed herself
Toriaunt - 5.30am what an early bird! We used to be really early too but now I've upped his food intake he seems to sleep in a bit more.

Right, I'll toddle off and try and write a few lists before the others re-surface!

Morning guys

I was out last night (a rarity for me!) at a 70's 80's disco where they also had a turn on. Went with a couple of friends, had a good time. A & W have stopped with Nanan and Grandad so go the whole CHAOS ridden house to myself lol

Just had brekkie and caught up on a few things so better get dressed and start trying to make the place more presentable.

Great news about baby Matthew lil_me so pleased for him and his mum ( and you of course )

Well seeing as the batteries for this keyboard and mouse are just about exhausted and the replacements still cooking I had better go and do something.

Have a good day whatever you all decide to do.

Well the freezers is now one, apart from the lollies and icecream shelf, that lot should fit in the big one now the kids have had one each, bit early but what the heck, had to stop as my hands were too cold. Looks like poultry and mince all week for us, some vegetarian stuff aswell, few sausages and some fish for the boys, that's what is left basically, enough for the week however I think, probably more than enough, might get a bit boring towards the end of the week but would rather use up than buy more & have to pack more. Just got to be imaginative as to what to do with it so we don't get bored. I have sorted the shelves into - breads, meat/chicken, veg, potato stuff/accompaniments, kids stuff/vege stuff and the icecream/lollies shelf so should be easier to find things. One thing using up has taught me, well 2, is I buy too much and it's much easier to organise when there is less! I will do a shopping list, need some things inc bread, rolls and packed lunch stuff (took my BM over to new house)

Right next mission is laundry, thanks for the reminder embb. Doesn't look too bad outside so might even get it line dried.

Well I'm feeling full of beanies today.. I went to bed at 10pm.. and got up at 8:30am.. so i just slept 26 hours out of 29.. I am fit for battle today and the girls room is getting it!!

Most of my christmas planning is done. I need to purchase cards and maybe a little paper. I need birthday paper and stickers for the childrens parcels. Food lists I am doing later. I have to bake hubbys christmas cake as well.

I am sorting through the wardrobe in the girls room and the 3 lots of drawers as well.

DS2 has gone to church parade at school today, he was really nervous after getting lost on Friday so we got him a taxi to take him right to the school door!!! I have told him to walk back to the bus station with a friend or ask one of the teachers for help if he needs it.. I need my phone charging and I can't find the charger.. I wouldn't mind but I have 3!!

DW been on already this mornign and 2 loads of washing are ready to come out.. so I'll do those and take my roll off binbags up the stairs and see what I can fling. I have a load of ebay finish today.. had £21 in sales last night and they have 12 hours to go so we shall see how we end up. I have a pile of 'new' stuff to list (from DS3's cupboard 7-8 boys stuff) which I am hoping to get done this week..

Lil_me... Great news about Matthew.. and the other baby who just had the op.. I hope your friends can take some comfort seeing this other little one recover! One of mine was NG tube fed for the best part of 3 weeks!!! That was a pain!!

Rach .. ((hugs)) it'll all come right in the end you'll see! I booked and planned my wedding all in 3 weeks!! Hubby came home from work ine night.. I said what you doing on this date? he replied going to work I suppose I said no you aren't you're getting married!!! lol.. that was funny!!! It all fell into place somehow..

1 WM has finished.. so I'll go deal with that while the other one does

See you all in a bit!! xx
