    Does anyone want a snotty crabby 2 year old for free???


    Perhaps you would like to swap for a 17 year old who knows everything, shouts at everybody, sulks like a demon, and could moan for England - and even better I'm not offering her for free...I'll happliy PAY someone to take her in for a couple of [STRIKE]years[/STRIKE] months

    DD wants to know if any of you have any fit sons that we could borrow???:D

    I have my first Christmas card - thank you Aimee!! (And the first card to arrive in the house too)

    I delegated some decluttering to DS2. His cold doesn't stop him from sorting through a bag of photo packets, and labelling them!

    I've also done the weekly shopping - went at midday, when the rain had stopped. Only disadvantage, I was starving when I got home at two! Off to cook dinner now...

    Lol, def with you on that...let them believe that we think they're equal! I'm having the whole of this weekend off because it's my birthday and I know he'll be great with the children etc. However, what annoys me is that all my friends will tell him how wonderful he is for getting them up, taking them swimming, feeding them etc. It's what I do every day. To give him his due - he finds it amusing that people tell him he's wonderful for caring for his own children.

    Right, really off to sleep now xx

    When's your birthday LJD1?

    And regarding turn of phrase, I plan on one day writing a very witty book that will make me a mint, but you may have noticed I'm a bit lazy.

    I did the ironing!

    The kids are in their room screaming and running about and jumping (may have been the two chocolate biscuits I gave them so I could get the ironing done).

    very much believe that what goes around comes around, so I have to start saying nice things about That Car or I will get bad karma.. so.. it's nice and clean...

    ahem, best get dinner started!

    Hello Everyone

    Had no problems getting onto site today :confused:

    Anyway, doing all the bedrooms tonight, all been tidied and beds stripped and being washed. Just need to dust and vac.

    Just had a phonecall from warmfront as I'm having my loft insulated, and they want to come tomorrow at 2pm, had to ring my boss and get the day off work, I've got to go to the hospital in the morning for my post-operative check (can't believe it been 6 weeks since my operation, it feels like 6 months) I'm bound to get into trouble for going back to work too soon, but I'm one of these people that can't sit still!!

    Best get on with my jobs and start tea.

    See you later

    JulieJim - it's on Friday and i'll be 39 years young!

    Dusty and Lil_me - thanks for the destressing thoughts. Really don't know why i'm stressed as it's actually quite unlike me. I only usually stress about big things. I've nothing at all to be stressed over...i've got all my christmas shopping done (now half of you hate me), my mum does the food shopping for christmas day itself and DH cooks it, i've just the right amount of work in for the next three weeks and then I have two weeks off, i'm going away for the weekend .... there is nothing bad! Think it must be catching from friends etc.

    Right, brownie run xx
    January budget
    Nothing left!
