  • Morning all,

    Firstly huge hugs to Valli xxx

    It's. The. Last. Day. Of. The. School. Holidays :D kiddies are so excited for going back to school and Pre-school (DD goes into year 1, and DS gets 30 free hours now so school hours basically). I can go back to working and actually having a shower/wee/brew in peace :T

    I have mounds of laundry to deal with, school uniform to collect from M&S (thanks MiL :T) and have promised them a trip out for ice cream. Of course we have all come down with colds just in time too :cool:

    Best unload the DW and make some toast before the cries of 'I'm starving' commence xx

    (((Hugs))) Valli.

    I hope you enjoy the bike ride, you have lovely weather and it goes well, YL.
    How much do ipads go for once they've made a crunching sound under your boots?

    Think I've helped him declutter around six hundred-and five-quid. That's Flylady worthy, isn't it?

    At least! Sorry about being drenched, but you're the only person I've come across that has come off better than a random bully so thanks for that. And thanks for the update regarding bouncing later. Very satisfying.

    It's our 24th anniversary today so we're spending it indulging ourselves. We had a day out yesterday doing what we always do on our annivesary because the forecast for today was merde and yesterday was sunny. 24 years seems extraordinary; I think we're both extremely surpised by surviving this long together.

    Flying will be only the absolute necessaries today and then sewing followed by dinner cooked by OH with a pear and blackberry crumble made by me.
    Better is good enough.
  • Happy anniversary HB xx

    It's very autumnal here today. I LOVE September, a time of change and the nip in the air makes me want to light the wood burner!

    Kiddies are in the bath, and we have decided to have a cheeky Chinese for tea. Will light some tea lights shortly and all cosy up in onesies with a film. And maybe some wine for me :beer:

    Hope to see some more faces next week, see you all on the new thread, have lovely evenings all xx
    MFW :)

    Valli (((HUGS))) perhaps the tears are best decluttered? Sometimes a good sob is cathartic. x

    Sweet FA done today - I'm always on a downer the day after a doggie goes home. :( We did go out and pick 12 oz of blackberries though, and I've made a quiche and a blackberry'n'apple crumble. I was very brave and used the gas oven, instead of wimping out and using the electric combi/micro like I usually do. I will get to grips with cooking with gas..... :cool:
