  • Hi all - well, that was Christmas I guess!!! Working today as usual, but get 40p a question on AQA.

    Had a mooch around the online sales and drooled at some wonderful pan sets in Debenhams but was good and didn't give in to temptation.

    Gammon, mash and creamed leeks tonight!

    Morning everyone - trying to get the house to resemble some sort of normality today, its well and truly trashed. Off to mum and dads later for tea and back to work tomorrow.

    Enjoy your day everyone x x

    Hope you have a nice chilled day, El, and that work doesn't give you any unforseen hassles tonight!

    I have now made it as far as the shower so do smell a little sweeter. Also have got dressed so make for less scary visuals as well!!

    Currently blowing up an inflatable chair for DS! I'd hoped I could use the pump from the car but no such luck so have been at it for ages now... just determined to finish before we have lunch but getting really hungry now and face aches!

  • Had the best Christmas I've had for ages yesterday; DS behaved himself all day and was a pleasure to be around, dinner was cooked to perfection (even though I say so myself!) and everyone loved their pressies.

    Today, however, I have an upset stomach (no one else does so it wasn't my cooking!) and am all alone, bored out of my brain. DS has gone to his Dad's to play happy families with the new wife and my ex inlaws *sighs*

    You could, if you'd kept the football inflating bit.
    so have been at it for ages now...

    Yeah..yeah..boast about getting lucky... :rolleyes:

    But it's not going to get your chair inflated...

    I once blew up an exercise ball for the XOH by lung. It almost goes without saying she never used it...
