    Unfortunately Pigpen I look more like homer than marge (in the jelly belly area at least not the hair department:rotfl: )

    DD2 dropped at preschool. Tesco man turned up dead on 12 so managed to get the chilled stuff in the fridge and the couple of frozen bits into the freezer and dumped the rest in the hall, so guess whats next on the list:rolleyes: .

    I also need to make mince beef pie for tea so need to get filling out of the freezer. Veggies need prepping too. I could do some ironing but I am so tired I really dont think I have the energy. I am having real problems sleeping at the moment, no idea why but I could do without it.

    Right off to put stuff away and find something to eat, and a cuppa - any takers:D

    Afternoon all.

    Been to the indoor play place so had a nice sit down and a cuppa (took a flask there teas is out of a machine and £1). DS3 asked for his friend to come back so I am up to 2 but put them in front of the tv for a bit after 2 hours running around.

    Just had lunch - yummy lamb sandwich on brown with myao and lambs lettuce. Cuppa and some chocolate now I think.

    Will start on the kitchen whilst out there.

    Tia pup will be fine and yes you are allowed to miss him and worry even if you know that, you'd not be a very nice dog owner if you didn't worry. Both mine have been done and I was 8months preggies when big dog was done and I slept on the floor with him all night I was so worried about him:rolleyes: :o Oh and I think Ceasers brill too

    Passports DH's is fine but mines in my madien name, have travelled on that name before and never had a problem but should I get a new one, about 6 years left on it and I begrudge paying again (so tight). Both are locked in DH's gun cabient so are safe. Must apply for DS though as we are thinking of France in June. *salutes Passport officer Dusty and clicks heels* LOL

    tracyg - I think you can have the name altered to married name without paying for a new passport.
    It is never too late to become what you were always intended to be
  • :D Thanks!:D
    That's a very good idea actually, like a bookmark.

    I forgot to add it's ds's birthday tomorrow so sort out everything for that and make a list of to-do's that have to wait until Dh gets home before they can be done. Oh-oh I hear a little one waking, later.
