    Evening lovelies.

    Thanks again for the hugs xxx DH came home early and is okay, must be honest they were very close as kids but have driffed apart these last few years but its still family. My heart breaks for his wife and close family, I went through the same last year so know what its like. Just to make it worse he was only married 3 months. Like Michelle, makes me realise you have to live for now.

    So quite a lot of jobs done this afternoon with DS in tow and feel like a good mummy as we have played lots and lots and been silly while doing jobs so hes gone to bed happy. Managed to hack jam off the patio windows too so that looks much better. Just had a chicken, bacon and leek pasta bake in a bid for me cooking new receipes but bit disappointed in it so won't be filing that one.

    Off tomorrow to a butterfly/farm thing for the day with some friends so that should be nice, cold but nice. Hopefully Sunday we'll deliver the present I've got and get to the garden centre to spend our christmas gifts, have a very bare patch under window on the front thanks to stupid builders only planting bedding plants.

    Embb agree with Tai, you need to find out where your at with him
    Dusty not been to a panto for years, must do that will DS when hes big enough

    Right will have a surf about while DH watching some rubbish on TV till 9! x

    Erm.....OH came round at dinner time to pick up littleys old bed I said he could have,he had a cuppa, spoke to me like nothing much had happened and gave me a kiss on the lips when he went home !!!!!!? :confused: he's confusing me now.

    Oh.. we will not be having any of that missy!!!

    He is playing you.. next time either push him away or offer him your foot.. I was going to say @r$e but thought better of that! And don't blooming offer a cuppa either.. I'd be civil to the point of getting what I wanted and to keep the children happy.. and that'd be it.. cheeky beggar he is.. how dare he confuse you like that..

    It is VERY naughty!!

    Keep yourself safe chucky!.. emotionally as well as physically..

    And now I'm going to watch the other half of the christmas dr who.. :D:D:D:D:D:D:D

    phew, what a day, I've not stopped! lots crossed off the list though, which is great! am getting super excited now! :D

    3 weeks tomorrow!!!

    i am just about ready to flop but need to do a few more bits. called in at the curry place downstairs to organise hen night, but guy i needed wasn't there, he is going to call round later...
    i am freezing as no heating on, only one portable heater which is currently in lounge (i am in study as left laptop at OH's this week).

    the best news of the day is that my wedding dress fits perfectly. the lady doing the alterations is absolutely lovely, and is only charging £40 for altering the front hem, straps, tucking it under my arms, evening hitch up and taking in the hoop waistline a bit. so fortunate as the shop would've charged 3x that even though she would be doing the work!!! :beer:

    right, better make another call or two! back later with an update.

    removal man for quote (coming at 9am)
    dress fitting (leave at 10.15am)

    dentist (3.40pm)

    sort out postal redirection

    Evening all!
    Big hugs Tracy for you and oh and his family xx
    Had a productive day today LO has been happier and Ive been able to get some jobs done.
    Cleared a huge cupboard in DD's room and OH broke it down to take to tip, we have replaced it with a small book case and declutered lots in the process.
    hoovered every room in the house!
    Done a tesco shop and took DD's for new school shoes - they seem to ruin a pair every term!

    Lil_me - darts expert that you are. Kids just brought some new darts in the sports shop and we have 2 problems - we can't get the flights in the darts - the slip is too tight. One of the darts the poiny bit comes out of the body - that is not right is it?

    Edit: Got the flights in thanks to Graham Devon's suggestion of a knife.

    Hi Guys

    Well glad to be home at last! The other girls at work were there ringing telesales to make appts intil 6.15 last night :eek: they should have finished at 4.45 :( told the cackling witch I had to go pick A & W up. I was quite gleeful when at least 2 of the witches appts called to cancel today :rotfl: Oh and I have decided to take in half a dozen eggs next week for us all to suck on, and then the week after I am taking a hammer to smash them all, should be nice and pongy by then :eek: :rotfl: :rotfl:

    :rotfl: years since I have played, but, you can usually move where the flight goes on the shaft apart to get the flights on (helps them stay on if it's tighter round them if that makes sense) some flights are thicker than others. You can get a tool to open them with, or just be careful with a knife. No, the 'pointy bit' shouldn't really come out on their own but many types they can be taken out so the dart can be 'repointed' I am not sure how to do this bit however.
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:
