    Morning all:T

    Well done Ziggy thats amazing weight loss:beer:

    Up early due to the sleepover....i was woken up to dds friend screamin at the dog to sit....she needs to just leave him alone (not a bad dog in anyway just a bit dippy as soon as she stops talking/screaming at him he will stop following her around :mad: but to have that at 6.30am is beyond a joke!!

    Anyway i now have a banging headache and am in a bad mood....im not a morning person esp when woke by screaming (thats for another day!)

    So i have told the girls to get into bed and watch tv as its too early to be screaming esp as we have neighbours....my neighbours may not be very thoughtful with noise but i certainly am maybe because i know how their noise first thing annoys me. Sorry thats my moan for the day my plans are
    •have a cuppa before i do anything with some tablets
    •strip beds and do another loads of washing
    •peg washing out and put away dry washing from yest i iron as i go along as this lot crease them anyway
    •all meals from stores will do cafe sandwiches this morning for the girls breakfast
    • general cleaning
    •go out and tidy the inside of my car its a state again already could do with washing it just not sure if it will be dry enough...il see once ive dine everything else.

    Not sure when dds friend is going home as had no texts so they can play for a bit and we will see i feel like a meany now for telling them to watch tv for a bit :eek:bloody kids make ya feel guilty for everything

    See ya in a bit
  • Morning Purps & Emzmom88 :D Emzmom88 poor you, I am such a morning person I cannot relate! Hope the headache goes.

    Purps ooooo thanks for the tip! I will check out those noodles as I shop in Lidl :D We definitely do have about once a month a hankering for a takeaway. Problem is when we have 1 it's easy to have 2 or 3 in a row. A couple of weeks ago we had F&C and it was all I could do to quickly russle up a meal 2 days later as oh was toting for a takeaway rather than cooking. I have to start getting once a month the ingredients for a quick to table fakeaway to nip that in the bud

    ziggy wow! Well done :D I need to see some pics of your new svelte self :D

    so I made it through a week at work :D off now for 2 days, back Mon-Weds then off for 8 days :D

    Today need to get myself in gear and get on!

    * tidy up and vacuum
    * madam has gone off to swimming lessons
    * pack up her toys so I can finally start decorating her room. Need to speak to ds about coming down and helping me build a raised bed (doing a kallax hack :D)
    * get pup back :smileyhea
    * cut out fabric for skirt. Possibly sew it up as it's only a quick make :D
    * do repairs for customer & order zip
    * lovely long walk with fam & pup
    * we have duck pancakes for tea :D picked up a frozen pack in Lidl :D
    * make loaf of bread
    * read book
    * go through fridge & make sure nothing goes to waste ;)
    * payday yesterday. Might do shuffles... might not!

    Ok that's all I can think of

    Haha, I'm getting there but am very much a work in progress

    so I made it through a week at work :D off now for 2 days, back Mon-Weds then off for 8 days :D

    You sound so much brighter my lovely than a few week ago :T

    Need to speak to ds about coming down and helping me build a raised bed (doing a kallax hack :D)

    No idea, what this is, at first I thought a raised bed in a bedroom but then realised you didn't mean a "raised bed" you meant a "raised bed" :rotfl:

    Have a wonderful weekend

    Check Bank & made PAD - Done
    RM Correctly delivered survey - Done
    Gym - Done, another fab workout, will try to fit in a couple more exercises today (squats and hula hoop - not together :rotfl:)
    Strip bed, wash and line dry -
    Swagbucks -
    Enter a few comps -
    Purge a few emails -
    Meals from cupboards, fridge, freezer - not much should be needed as out for a get together for a 50th wedding anniversary

    Have a great day!
