Happy Birthday to your DS as well Pigpen not sure he'll like pink cake! If not all the more for us

:bdaycake:

Don't be too sure!!! lol.. he is a little.. well... questionable!!

The Thomas cake in Tesco was rubbish.. just a nasty icing picture.. they have pics of them online.. so you could have a look.

Do you not have a shop that makes them? I'm sure he'd love that! What date is his birthday?

Happy birthday to pigpen's DS and Holly. Big hug to tracyg, both men and family can be totally pants, especially just when you don't need it. Good to see you shirleypark, I was wondering just yesterday where you'd gotten to :wave: .

All is well here. Kitchen cabinets are starting to look better and we've heard from a couple who may be willing to do a house exchange with us. It's not the three bed we wanted, but it would be a move from a two bed flat to a large two bed house with back and front gardens, in a little village just out of Exeter. Fingers crossed - first I have to tidy before I can take pictures to send to them! :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

Will try to fly today, but may end up shifting the mess from one room to another to take pictures! Good luck and happy days to all of you. xxx

Morning all, just sitting on my ball drying out. OH has pumped it up so it is much better - best seat ever.

Tracey hugs hun, I hate rows as I really find it hard to get over them

Pigpen Happy Birthday to your middle boy and to you too Holly

Right at 10:00 I'm going to wizz round and do my daily then decide if I am going to sort my wardrobe or do the living room and kitchen floor.

Just found a cheque I thought I'd lost (a PTA one) so let's hope the day continues like that!

AnW'sMum

Doh why didn't I think of looking online! I tend to think of morrisons first cause they are closest and their website is carp.

No nice cake shops close by, his bday is the 30th

Happy Birthday to holly and Pigpen's DS!!!

Big hugs for TracyG

I can't be bothered doing anything.

Morning all well it's wet and miserable here so won't be doing anything outside today, I did plan on doing the back door outside but it can wait!

hollyh and to Pigpen's 12 year old (oh yikes 1 more year and there will be another teen at home) a very happy birthday

tracy, hope you resolve it soon, I second AnWsMum's idea, I love playing in puddles with the boys that's what puddles are for!

Oh there you are Shirley, I'd wondered where you had got to! Hope you are well.

Right, well I was going to go and see my friend and her little one this morning but she's not replied to my text, so possibly not up yet, that's why I text then no pressure if she's catching up on sleep. So I sorted another unpacking box instead, I keep wondering if we'll ever be unpacked :rotfl: I did have to sort another pile of paperwok I found (I think we've stashed it everywhere ) , but at least as soon as I find them I am dealing with them. I've got an appointment for my injections at 10.45am so will do a HHC in the sitting room before I go, the TV cabinet is disgusting!!! Anyone want to join me? I won't be able to report back until later however. Must order my Nana's flowers for tomorrow for her birthday...

pigpen

AnWsmum.. look at these.. I know the prices are SCAAAARRRRRYYYYYYYYYY .. but the cake is brilliant!! I wonder though if you looked in the local paper if you could find someone to bake him one??? They can't be THAT difficult (says the person who bought a chocoalte tray bake for her son from tesc yesterday!!!) 30th gives you a bit of time to play with!

Morning. How’s everyone today?

Happy birthday Holly and Pigpen’s middle son. Have a fab day!
Happy new house Rach
Witchypoo – with any luck you’ll still be able to pick up a tv in the sales. Try to get it through a cash back site though!
Lil-me and Pigpen – hope you got all the bread in the freezer. My OH goes mad at me as I’ll bring bargains home and expect him to magic space in the freezer for it.
Tracyg – hugs to you. Hope your day gets better
AnW’s mum – depending on how much time you have Lakeland do a train cake tin which you might be able to make look like Thomas. Yikes, just got the link and it’s pricey
