Had my bath - went into the bedroom and realised I can't get into bed as I've left a pile of stuff on the bed I wanted DH to put on top of the wardrobe when he came home!

I was thinking that too - perhaps everyone's busy finishing their flying while I finish my slobbing out - think Waynetta :rotfl:

evening all!

lil_me -glad move went well and boys settled. Hope dogs follow suit soon (instead of folowing you LOL)

solway - hope you feel better soon - and serena too

shell - I have no idea if you really are currently a fat size, but if you are, and if you find somehting that misimises the fat look LOL please tell me what it is, I have a party in 2 weeks and yes I know I have just had a baby but I am huge and want to look all lovely. Help!

tia - showed my hubby the telly he said "we are getting one, no two ways about it" :eek: :eek:

tia and likkelgibbon - when I get cold calls from people I just place myself in a room where a child is crying (there's always at least one) and then I cant hear them and I just say "sorry got my hands full cant hear you bye" gets rid of them without feeling like I've been rude

Denise - "I resemble that remark" - havent heard that in years!! Not Scottish originally are you ?

juliejim - grr I hate that when I leave stuff on the bed thinking "oh it'll take me 5 minutes at bedtime" and then at bedtime I just want to collapse into bed. Do it almost every night!

Sigh, another day of zero flying! Can't wait til next week when I'm on earlys and can do some flying!!
I did wipe down the 2 phones, 2 keyboards and 3 monitors on my desk thou, do I get points for that?

lil_me

Evening all, still on my prehistoric laptop & internet connection getting there slowly with house, 2 book cases and dvd/cd tower built today so will start filling them tomorrow, unpacked another 5 bags of clothes & linen. 3 more wash loads washed and dried, another 2 washed & will try to line dry tomorrow, can't go in the drier Car is almost sorted now, been back for the 4th time today with it, brakes work without screaming now, seat belt works, lights fixed, holes in the dashboard/glove box fixed just waiting for the plastics for the seat but will take them another few days to get the part.Went to look for new shoes for me today, not much success, none I liked in my size I want Hush Puppies as they are the only shoes which have lasted me, so going to try their other store next week when kids back to school, buy one get one half price in Brantanos until a week on Sunday may aswell get 2 pairs! Little Matthew is back in hospital his sats dropped so they have kept him in until his op which should, fingers crossed, be next week. His Mam isn't happy of course as was nice having him home but the hospital knows best, if it's safer that he stays in then he'll have to. I'll be hopefully going to see them one day next week. Off for a read for however long my internet connection lasts!!
Sorry thanks button & paragraphs still broken.

Sending hugs Matthews way . . .

torianut

big hugs to Matthew - and to you LIlme with your busy life xx

deciding to have a look on here as Lo woke at 4.30 again - OH took his bottle in at 5 which somehow he managed to spill everwhere whilst drinking so we had to wash him and dress him, strip cot and put him in his pram to get back to sleep!

So after all that they are al snoring away and I just feel carppy all day if I have another half hour.

Might start some early flying!
After all that

Right the WM is on, the kids have been fed and I've put batteries in a toy - is that enough for today?

Am determined to try and get the kids to do something in their bedrooms today - even if it is just to clear some floor for me to hoover!

I think I'm going to do some ironing now and then put some clothes away.

Sending healthy wishes to Matthew.

Catch you all in a bit

Okay I've done some ironing - just need to put the clothes away now. Having chicken for tea tonight - don't know whether to stick it in the oven now or leave it until later.

I suppose if I go and put the kids' clothes away now then I can attempt to get them to make a start on their bedrooms.

I think I'm talking to myself anyway:rotfl:

Morning, having a bit of a panic, its hubby's birthday on wednesday:D
Which is fine, but he's just announced he's "invited some people round for a party":eek:
The house is nowhere near good enough for people to come and see, i think if i get them drunk they maybe wont notice we dont have a bathroom door etc!!!
Plus i'm working today and tomorrow and got a big game on sunday(after which i tend to just lie in a heap for the rest of the evening!):rotfl:
Need to get some serious flying, and DIY-ing done:o
