    Vanilla (((hugs)))

    lil_me - congrats on the move and well done on the yelling at nasty neighbour with a crow bar! :beer:

    Pigpen that fart smelled fousty!

    mermaid - congratulations!

    Today I must...

    Dishes
    S&S kitchen
    S&S living room
    Hoover through
    Clean sofas (banana mushy mess and milk)
    Make beds
    Tidy kids toys

    DS1 back at school today, schools went back on Tuesday here, but he was still ill! Took them both to GP who said DS1 has had a viral infection hence the midnight sicking and one sec being ok, the next headache and temp. DS2 cold has lasted a marathon 6 weeks and it is finally easing off, upper respiratory system only now (meaning lots of snot).

    Did I mention that my TD is coming on Monday? I need to get my room sorted out for then! LOL!

    Thanks for the idea serena. We are doing a tent this afternoon using their bunkbeds. Will stick a dvd on and make some popcorn and we can all snuggle on the bottom bunk.

    I have just ordered 4 dresses from M & S for DH xmas do! Thought if I find something I like in my current fat size then there will be no need for a starvation diet in the few weeks before it;) , plus if I start looking now I may actually find something I like. DH may get a shock when he opens the credit card bill but at least 3 of them may be going back, plus the shoes and underwear I ordered too if they dont fit:D .

    Dog running round this DD1 boot in his mouth, DD2 moaning a whinging for hot chocolate and house looking a bit of a tip. Right off to make hot chocolate, grab boot of dog and set timer for half hour challenge. I also need to get the stuff out of the freezer for tea.

    Will then take woof for his second trot of the day (will go to field so littles can go on park), get few bits from Somerfield to make trifle (well if I have ordered fat size dress i need to maintain current weight :rotfl: ;) ).

    Right 11.32 lets see what I can do, wish me luck!

    Morning all. Glad I did all that flying yesterday.

    DD off work today so she has stripped her bed and I've done two loads of washing and hung it out - where it is just sulking and deliberately not drying at all.

    She has got all her Christmas shopping down and filled the entire living room floor and is wrapping it up so that's the living room out of commission......

    S & Sd the kitchen.

    Right I'm just off to town to fetch DH's bracelet and to go to the bank.

    I have a question for you - I have a wardrobe full of clothes which no longer fit me. I do want to try and lose some weight as the weight I lost earlier in the year I put back on after all the carp that was happening at work! But I have clothes I've bought which I've never worn because my boobs are too big:o even though the clothes are my size! (It'll just be my luck for TNG to decide to appear now!) Anyway, shall I just get rid of them all - I've kept them because some I really like - or what? I'm not sure that even when I've lost some weight some of them will fit me as my boobs are a lot bigger than they were and they weren't small to begin with!

    Right, on that note I'm going - I shall expect some answers when I get back!:rolleyes:

    Get rid and buy new ones which fit properly with the proceeds!

    Just clarifying it is the clothes I meant get rid of not the boobs!

    Part of the Furniture 1,000 Posts Photogenic I've been Money Tipped!
    OH and DD gone out for a walk at the local abbey. Don't mind as I'm not supposed to be here - only came along as DD wanted me too. :rolleyes: Mind you so far its been okay, FIL told me all the things they needed to instead of OH as they know what OHs memory can be like :rotfl:

    So I need to make something to eat and then take the dog for a walk (OH and DD are doing the evening walk ;) ) and then I'm off to find a post office so I can post this damn Amazon parcel :o Good job I know this town well :rotfl::rotfl: Then I think I should try and make my way to Matalan for something I saw in the Wigan store on Monday but couldn't manage them :rolleyes:

    Right, off to find food then I best get wrapped up and take the dog out to try and cheer him up as he's currently sulking since all the family have gone out apart from me :rotfl::rotfl: :wave:
