    No need to worry about the takeaway W!

    My eldest nephew was an only child until he was 5 & my sister was on her own with him. By the time he was 3 when he heard the door buzzer to their flat go he would shout "Mum, dinner!" and be all excited. :rotfl: My sister was so embarrassed. :rotfl: He did get food other than takeaways though, honest. :D

    Hope you're feeling ok. :)

    Thank you for stopping in and still reading my moaning :o

    Smalls where over the moon with take-away :rotfl:

    I have cashed out £22 from PA so at least that covers the take away costs because I really couldn't afford it :o:naughty:

    Need to collect DD's cake and sweet cones this evening, although I'm hoping they can be dropped off :o

    Spag bol for dinner. It's in the slowcooker. At least it looks like I've made some effort to feed them.

    DD's birthday tomorrow and she is so excited.

    Its not moaning, its life! Hope you are felling better and that dd has a great birthday! Have had many takeaways here, or even worse, something really random because I couldnt get myself organised, not even being ill or anything.

    Thank you both :D

    DD is away shopping again for more birthday gifts with family. They will feed her then bring her home. We all need an early night as we have to leave before 9am for her party :eek: I don't think I've moved off the sofa before 9am for weeks :rotfl: Never mind get dressed and look after a bunch of over excited 6 year olds :o

    My house is so clean and that makes me happy. It has took me ALL day though :o

    I still have presents to wrap, cards to write and balloons and banners to put out.

    I hope I haven't forgot anything!
