AnWsMum & Michelle hope you both manage the day ok after the interupted sleep. Hugs for little W and Charlie too xx
tracyg sounds great, hope you have a really nice time
embb hugs, trust me no meters are good at the mo, I've used about the same, just I get the nightmare bills after it's used, might be worth looking to make sure you're with one of the cheaper suppliers but with all the forecasted increases they're saying the average bills will go up 20%+

Good morning everyone. Bit of a mad dash this morning as DS1s taxi was early. Anyway boys are both off to school, I feel very tired but I think I will have to stay awake today

Pigpen think I will join you on that challenge. I've eaten now, museli, I am wondering if that's what effecting my tummy rather 'breezy' here and I have been making the effort to have it every day as I usually miss breakfast and lunch. I won't be able to report back until later as I need to go to collect the stuff for mother dearests car after the half hour, so can get that serviced this afternoon. Hoping it'll half fit in the garage or me and DP are going to get wet. I'll be working on those boxes I need to get unpacked from the conservatory, a lot of stationary, paperwork etc in them so fits with the days rooms too.

Grrr. Looks like i'll be walking LO to nursery in this blooming rain, some !!!! has blocked my car in:mad: :mad: :mad: Maybe itll have stopped raining by the time i have to leave

embb

Slow bump it out ofthe way G&B ... not that I would but you might.

Had cats for years until I met OH who hates them with a passion so never had one, except the one nana bought for littley which ended up at my house then died a few weeks later I can clear anything up I've had 4 kids lol

lil_me I've heard about the price increase and just blocked it out totally it really sends my blood pressure up *grinds teeth* talk about keeping the poor down I have visions of us reverting back to Medieval times within 20 yrs. Will need to build a cart.....

Tracy I'd love to have a paid to job to tidy/clear/sort peoples rooms but I do fling everything so I might not be too popular lol

Upstairs jobs are done, dishes done, worktops wiped, rubbish out (it's raining grr) also brought some sheets in that have been on the line since last year lmao they're in the washer as we speak. One load in the TD a few bits draped on the rads.

embb

G&B I've added 'sign up at the library' and get 'Paul Mckennas book' on my mental to do list, will add it to my Diary too then it's written down, Thanks and wow at the weight loss :T I saw something he did on TV about it but paid no attention, funnily enough I was scoffing a big bag of cheesy wotsit things at the time - oh the irony

They aren't half the trouble!! Hubby is probably a close second to DS1's demanding obnoxious persona. The youngest 7 are a breeze after those 2. I can cope with ANYTHING (apart from vomit).. apart from those 2.. and together they do nothing but argue.. 34 and 16 and they are worse than all the rest, honestly, they drive me to distraction.

Embb.. having children does not make you able to deal with everything.. I cannot for love nor money clean up vomit.. even my 3 year old has mastered getting herself to the loo!! lol Hubby can't deal with poop.. lol And believe me.. we've seen heck of a lot of both!

Back to the grindstone.. just popped in to check my list!

pigpen

ok.. I'm off upstairs for half an hour.. anyone coming? I'm NOT getting in bed... I'm NOT getting in bed.. *yawn* .. no.. I'm NOT getting in bed!

I can do that this afternoon when DD5 goes for a snooze.. now I have to find floor!
