Awwwww Rach ((((((((((hugs))))))))) sorry you've had a pap birthday, maybe OH will make it up to you when you go out x
tori that was the last thing I messaged him, not had a reply yet lol
You've done fab rumbly :T
right, I'm gonna have to have a look at your avatar Tracy seems I'm missing something utterly gorgeous. BRB.0 -
I'm bored. Don't want to do anything. DS3 in the bath, DS1 playing darts, DS2 at youth club and OH out for the night. No wine to drink. Need to do the ironing but not until DS is in bed.
I love the Spooks guy too - rupert really doesn't suit him as well as Adam. I liked the guy in 'Life on Mars too'The birds of sadness may fly overhead but don't let them nest in your hair0 -
hex2 I usually get mine from Stationary Box (if I am paying cash) or WHSmiths( if I have a voucher). There was some nice ones on Ebay last week, likely unwanted Xmas presents but as always depends on the postage.
Maralum, big hugs for you and little one, she must be feeling so out of sorts bless her, have you tried Karvol etc on a night to help her sleep? Spicy bean burgers I usually do with rice.
Rach have a bug squishy soft hug, I am sorry to hear your day has been pants, maybe arrange with your OH to celebrate it properly once you have moved/not stressed as much. Maybe pick a date now for a 'belated birthday day'
Aimee don't know if this helps http://www.expedia.co.uk/daily/wg/P40809.asp
**Votes for the original Spooks hottieTom/Matthew. I much prefered him, his voice aswell**
Pollybear, snow! Where has snow? Crikey didn't even realise it was forecast....**says prayer for no snow quietly because if the kids catch me they will hate me** My Dad's dog would always refuse to go out the front door when it rained, but he'd go out the back door, no sense at all.
Oh pigpen you naughty Mother moving his things, I know exactly what that ones like unfortunately, I try warning him in advance but then he won't go in for ages and struggles to sleep for days. Goood luck, sounds like you're in for a 'fun' evening. Remember there is no point wasting muscle usage on frowning when you can just use 4.....
Given up on the kids rooms, done the sheets, made a walkway so I can get through the rooms, flung a bin bag of c*ap and that's about it. I will do some work in there over the weekend and the little brats can help, then they can see what I help move etc so they can't moan.
Metro Centre went well, got a coat for DP, I officially have 'more front than woolies window' was half price then managed to get another £15 off for 'iffy stitching' because it was the last one so was only £30. 'Iffy stitching' which is just where they haven't cut the excess off and now snipped. Bargain me thinksI got a new file box for the top of the desk for 'deal with/to be dealt with' stuff as I am sick of having piles everywhere, help get paperwork more organised, well that's the theory anyway. New trainers and England top for DS2s birthday. Only thing I didn't get was the baking set, 35 minutes approximate wait in Argos (stuff that for a lark!) so have got DP to order me one with the order for his new crosstrainerything.
Just spent almost 1 hour cleaning the moisture off the windows and doors in the conservatory. Tried the window open, not worked. Tried keeping the door open, not worked. Collecting a dehumidifier off freecycle tomorrow (pleased I put the ad on now, they're really expensive!!) see if that helps. It's driving me mad. Took 3 tea towels, 3 MF cloths and half a kitchen roll to get 1 days water off.
My silly DP just likes worrying me more, called me to tell me a guy at work was stabbed last night. Like I don't worry enough as it is, now my chances of getting to sleep before he gets in have probably gone from slim to zero!
Right, going to do a weekend list for anyone who needs/wants to do extra, will be posted whenever I think of enough things to add.One day I might be more organised...........

Back from the HHC
Tidied the airing cupboard and moved surplus to the spare room to be decided upon.
Brushed Bob and washed his nicely healing fight injury.
Rounded up enough for a washload and set away.
Washed dishes and swept kitchen floor.
And I thought I had nothing to do..
Tracyg, MOT was less than I had budgeted for which always helps but yeah, its difficult whenthere could be some nasty surprises and I don't have access to anyone useful to do a pre-check. Maybe I should get learning before next time!
Rach, I hope the rest of your birthday is more relaxed, easier said than done with the wedding looming.. have a hug.
Dusty, bored? I was never allowed to say I was bored or else I got the ironing to do when I lived at home!
Aimee, how did you get on? You've probably posted already. Mr Messy.. hmm.. I'm coping with his 'ways' but there are other things bothering me and I think I need to wind it up but I'm awful at doing that, I feel guilty so I battle on..One debt v 100 days Part 14 £400/£400

Evening All
Hope you have all had a good week, I'm absolutley cream crackered. I've done no flying at all this week as I haven't had the energy but I'm going to have a "blitz" tomorrow.
Work has been exhausting, computer system completely died on Tuesday LOL we'd only been back a day, but we now have a huge backlog of reports to print and get out by Monday. Also been preparing for the mock sats that are on next week as well, I was glad to finish today.
Doctor rang with my blood results today and said my iron levels are dangerously low and I need to be booked in for an iron infusion asap (unable to tolerate the tablets). So got to wait for hospital to ring me sometime next week but it explains my extreme lack of energy though :rolleyes:
Have a nice evening
