mummyto3 welcome, so you should feel proud, well done, you have to keep it up now you signed up, at least level 1 every day that you can please

Aimee I can just sense manky microwaves, actually no, I noticed mine was vile looking (try looking at the roof inside, gak!!) so I added it to this week. People should have a week off from doing the oven, but I'm not nice enough to not replace it with another task

Maybe it's just me but the post AnWsMum just made makes me smile (ok smile with a tear in my eye), because I see someone who's had so much heartache making such and effort to make sure the children never forget their Daddy, that they feel he's still included in everything they do, I just wish that everyone was so brave and such a lovely person. Someone who no matter what she's been through still spares a thought for others every day. I am sure when little A & W grow up they are going to be just as amazing people as their Mam.

Ok, well I vacuumed all the way through downstairs, not that you would think it as within half an hour when I went to get DS2 Megan has 'rehaired' everywhere!! The rug is just a Megan blanket again. Wonder if just shaving her would help I've taken 7 brush fulls of hair off her when I groomed her today, have been getting 5+ every day, must be coat changing season......if it's not and she's just deciding to do this every day she's getting shaved! :rolleyes:

Oh I'm having one of those days again, just used the dishwasher forgetting to put the filter back in and it's all just as mucky as when I started. Then not learning my lesson started the washer without the drawer in and it sprayed everywhere. Ok, own up, who took my brain and put it in backwards, I've been like this since yesterday....wonder if it's because DS2 the little darling is getting up way too early...

My still needs doing list

Sort more paperwork - just found another pile :eek: paperwork is breeding now
Sort through the snacks box
Sort the Christmas sweets box
Put load that's in washer on airers

Afternoon all, I won't say good afternoon, cos it hasn't been. :mad:

I weighed myself this morning, despite eating tons of fruit & veg and being very good I have gained 0.2 lbs this week.

Then I got home from work, went to drive to the woods for walkies & my car is completely dead! I have AA, but not home start. Garage is charging me £35 to tow it to them. Sigh.

Anyway...back to flying...
I have become stuck to this chair, so anyone fancy a HHC to get me going?

Aww AnW - that post just made me cry - really can't imagine how hard it is for you and your lovely children.

Now now we shall have no crying on your birthday Miss tori hope you have had a good day as well.

Blimey I didn't mean to make people cry and thanks for your lovely thoughts lil_me. It's just like you say, Daddy is still here, not in the way that we want but he is part of our everyday lives and always will be.We did have a bit of a lump in the throat moment this morning when she opened her card which I put from us both (can't bear the thought of not putting his name on). But my little star looked skywards and said 'thank you Daddy' with a smile on her face.

Right you are all commanded by moi to wear a smile c'mon we have birthdays to celebrate

Kettle's about to go on for when visitors arrive, everyone help yourself to :coffee: and choc

You sound like me Dusty with all the taxiing today!

AnWsmum my step mum put my dad's name and hers on our Christmas pressie and card and I am 40 something. My 19 year old was worried that SM had forgotten that he was no longer with us but she has said that was what Dad wanted. I wish your youngster a Happy Birthday too.

Welcome newbies

A will join in your HHC as I haven't done any all day. The kitchen floor is now down and looks gorgeous. It now makes the hall floor look even more scruffy. I do not need a new hall floor until building work is finished.

The giant puppy is emptying laundry basket so I am off to HHC. Bye

He is now pulling on door curtain, he needs to go out. Now!
