*whistles pretending never heard embb because Lakeland is bad for my purse* but thank you, I might have to have a look just a small look of course.
Michelle, thanks, I had a look on the WHSmiths website, none on there but will put on my list of 'shops I need to visit' thanks.
hex2 fab garden, we have a really big garden here but I am not allowed to dig it up so pots will be filled this year, trying to decide what to put in them is another matter.
tiamai, thanks, I needed that giggle.
soappie, LJD1 is right, as long as you don't completely vanish, that's fine we do find a lot who disappear come back screaming :rotfl: much less traumatic to stay.

Dinner scoffed, I love lasagne. Washer load on airers, I have decided to dry the tissue infested stuff, shake then rewash as it's been in twice and not free of fluffiness. Removed fuzzy mould from conservatory carpet, I would love to know what is causing that. Bathrooms sparkly and the PC areas will do for now, I'll do them better next week when I have less distractions. Tree dedecorated, it's just a naked thing now, very droopy aswell. Will take it to be recycled tomorrow. Just need the tree stand, tree skirt and lights from the conservatory (which I can't reach ) in the bag then that's done for another year, I wonder if it'll fit in the loft....Dishwasher on doing it's thing. DS1 has decided where he wants to go for his birthday. Will put tomorrows post up in a mo, kids rooms, and in anticipation of that I sent the boys upstairs to clear the floor in their room earlier, no way I am doing any cleaning in there until I could walk across the room without injury!

Ok what's left to do here-

[STRIKE] Kick boys to bed
Clean laptop over as it's icky
Vacuum through downstairs[/STRIKE]
Write list for weekend of what I need to do
Check through bills and bank statements, see when some are finished, I think I have a month off from water rates after February.
[STRIKE] Clean rest of kitchen, make sure everything is away
Stotties out for with soup tomorrow[/STRIKE]
Order dogs flea prevention stuff
[STRIKE] Rebook library books online [/STRIKE]

**I must remember to print out triple points voucher tomorrow**

Coffee first, anyone want a cuppa? Got some mince pies left if anyone fancies one......next year please remind me 'less mince pies'!

and i was actually disappointed it was bedtime tonight as i have hardly seen the little fella today, and he was being sweet and playing nicely. Makes a change. Oh well. Off to parents now, and will see you all later.

Michelle, x

Evening all I am well and truly done for the day. Upstairs is all done and looks good - couple of bits to still re rehomed/lofted but apart from that done.

Downstairs could do with a good tidy in the morning. Off to Panto in the afternoon with Mum and sister also need to buy half a sports shop.

Dustykitten

I have a lap lurker

JillD_2

thanks for the welcome backs!

embb so sorry to hear you news, have a big ((((hug))))

pigpen and lil_me and anyone else poorly - GET WELL SOON

tia - made me laugh too My son's godparents nought him blue gellibaff for Christmas (they have no kids - they very stupidly buy our lot totally anoying toys just to wind us up - dont they realise I am the expert in annoying toys and when they have kids I wil sooooooooo get my own back ... and some)

hex - your garden is gorgeous

michelle - how are you doing ? how long to go ?

ANYONE - where can I buy small boys PE kit this time of year ? He needs plain white tshirt and black shorts for next week. Tried Asda today but nothing. Town has Woolies, M&S, John Lewis but only want to make a trip into town if I will definitely get them.

Dustykitten

JillD how small do you need the PE kit? I have brought small ones in woolies before. Sport shop (the big horrid ones) may have small shorts in the shiney sort of fabic. Woolies do the cotton fabric. I probably have some second hand ones here I can post to you if you are stuck.

lil_me

Dusty, what's a lap lurker? I am sat here very confused!

Tesco had school stuff in when I was there last week, they do polo shirts in white in the value range and they're usually there all year round. Woolies usually have them all year round, you could phone them to ask, in fact think I would phone just incase. Sports shops aswell will have those in. I was thinking the same as Dusty but my boys are probably in huge clothes compared to your little one.

Right, lots done but pleased I typed that list there as I'd forgot some things!

Hi everyone

Back after a couple of days away so not caught up as too many pages you chatty things. Only thing I did catch in depth was Embb - so disappointed for you so big hugs for you.

Well I did nothing on Tuesday, Wednesday and Today so well behind with flying.

Saw Dr yesterday who blamed everything including the hives on that old chestnut - A VIRUS, but has given me a script for stronger antihistamine so its keeping it at bay. Feeling much better so back to work today.

Just going to iron a shirt for work (from the 4ft thats left of iron mountain) as I have to be up at 6 again 2moro.

Love to all
