    Evening Diary,

    Had a lovely chilled but busy day (if that makes any sense at all!). Ive pottered around but done lots in other words.

    Made DH a bacon sandwich for his Fathers Day breakfast. We bought him his favourite crisps and chocolates as he already had some things for his bike a couple of weeks ago.

    Had 2 loads of washing line dried and ironed.

    Also made a lasagne (for the freezer) and cottage pie for tomorrow out of some minced beef eeked out with red lentils. All of the above has made me feel very productive but tired now!

    DD1 is now home from camp and the peace has been destroyed with them carrying on with each other like they do :mad:. They're both getting in the bath and the an early night.

    SA, I always find it a bit embarrassing getting asked for ID, especially when theres other people about haha!!! I wouldn't say I look younger than 25, maybe I should take it as a complement :rotfl:.

    HHOD, my Dad text to thank for his pressies :D.

    Think thats about all really. Really enjoyed staying close to home this weekend. 25 more get ups before the summer holidays (not that I'm counting).

    xx

    Evening Diary,

    SA and HHOD thank you for your updates. Just came on to sync my watch and noticed your posts :D.

    All is good here just sooooo busy, feel like an actual broken record with saying that but it is.
    Im not even joking when I say every weekend for the past 3 weve had dancing and football galas/tournaments. Last Sunday were literally just rushing about from one thing to the next.

    Weve got a bit of a quieter one this weekend but Sunday is a full day competition.

    I break up next Friday but super busy at work. I've done school year end for 5 years now so I know I can do it. Will probably end up working on a night.

    Had DD2 to the doctors again tonight and she's got another ear infection :eek: that makes it 3 in about 6 weeks. Dr has sent off some swabs and we are going to keep her off swimming for a couple of weeks until we go see them again in 2 weeks.

    Think thats about all. Should be able to update more once I break up from work xx

    Evening Diary,

    Just catching up with Coronation Street and MSE!!!

    So its been a NSD today, not sure on which number as I haven't been tracking but will get back to it soon.

    5 weeks today and we will be sunning ourselves in another country :D.

    Had a problem with our patio lock earlier but the guy who fitted them came out and sorted it out with no charge. I think it could have possibly be something he missed which is why we were having problems. Glad weve had no charge though thats the last thing I need right now!!!

    5 more working days until 6 weeks off :p xx

  • I hope DD's ear infection gets better soon a d glad your patio lock is fixed.

    I bet you can't wait to break up :)

    Morning Diary,

    After some wet weather last night were back with the sunshine today :D, can't believe how long this nice weather has lasted.

    HHOD, Beanie and SA thanks for popping in. Were going to Salou SA so not a million miles away, just the sea between us :rotfl:. We did look at Ibiza actually but it was a bit too expensive.

    So this morning I have done all my ironing so at least I can enjoy some sun this afternoon.
    I have received a text to say my n3xt sale items are in store so might pop over and collect those as its got some of our holiday bits in.

    Right need to go and peg out :D x
