Hi everyone and big hugs to all that need it xx

No flying for me today - unless catching up on posts counts? Just about to start the curry for tonights dinner. As I was in the butchers was v v v bad and bought haggis pies for BF and me for watching the footie tomorrow.

For the asthma peeps - would you be able to get a prepay cert at the chemists? Would that work out cheaper for you?

Terramundi pots - there is a thread on DFW (sorry dont know how to do links). Someone there explains how to get the money out without smashing the pot.

Dusting and cobweb checking inc the high reach places if safe to do so
Put anything back in it's place that isn't where it should be - if this task is huge just spend 10 minutes on it
Extra Mission Task Choices

• Time for the Friday Flylady Fling, aim for 27, if you can't find that many, well done, you are obviously making a difference

• Clean kids rooms windows and the sills!

Just a quick one from me this evening. DH treating us to a chiense, first take away of the year so haven't done too bad. Neighbour just texted me asking us to Centre Parcs with them all for the weekend if we can argee on a date, sounds great, only about 30mins from us so ideal for the kids and we've a 20%off code - very MSE!

Poohbear - well done on the goose, very organised!
Lil me - huge hugs, things seem to all happen at once, good luck tomorrow in the boys room!
Serena/Dusty - I loooovvvvvveeeee Boots too, got some great bargins in their online sale before christmas, then at meadowhall last week (got some pressies to put away for LO's) and then at the 75% off. Love those extra points coupons too always seem to get loads when I get nappies from there, have given my mum one of my £5off vouchers as got about 5! My neighbour works quite high up there (head office only about 20mins away from us) and its amazing what they buy stuff in at so no wonder they do great deals.
Lilo - good luck tomorrow (if I remember right that its your scan?)

Everyone else *waves* and have a fab night and a good weekend!

Hello all!

Had a successful HHC - hoovered all upstairs, cleared dd's floor!, put some washing away - then went to collect dd's and we went to the library - came back and did another HHC - made littlies tea, whilst they ate it I made our bol sauce, washed up, s & s'd kitchen and cleaned highchair then a bit later did HHI and put away whilst OH bathed LO.

Have now dropped DD's at youth club, OH got LO to bed and we have enjoyed spag bol & a glass of wine - well deserved!

Thanks for the swimming info Tracy - will look into that at our local pools - I am like you - I want my kiddies to be more confident swimmers than I am!! a lot more!

We went to Sherwood Centre Parcs in September and LOVED it! Great that you are so friendly with your new neighbours now that they have invited you.

More hugs for lilme and sorry embb - all my energy well and truly used up now! - gonna watch soaps all night - Vera's last ones bless her!

Evening all

Special hugs to day to lilme, toria and polly bear (as I have managed to catch up on some of the thread!)

I've really let the side down this week as yet another day and nothing done so challenge for tomorrow is to play a massive catch up, so this evening I'm going to make my ME time and do nothing.

Didnt even make tea tonight, I let DD (8) do it (and she managed it all herself it was so easy) plus it was delicious. We had one of those nachos box things with the refried beans. Never tried it before, but DS and I liked it so much we ate the lot between us (DD didnt like it and OH not home), it was meant for 4 people so we're stuffed .

And just to make you all smile today.............

Had a massive panic this morning as received a call from DS mobile at 09:10 which I answered and noone would speak to me. Tried calling the number back and it rang and rang and rang but noone answered. DS was supposed to be in school and on a school trip but had said to me yesterday that he NEVER takes his phone to school so I began to panic. Was he laid at home on the floor or something, or worse still had we got a burglar in the house who'd grabbed his phone and rung me by mistake, or had DS taken phone and it was in the bottom of his bag and had called me! Contacted OH who was not local and I was at least 1/2 hour away so neither of us could go and check. Rang DS school and he had registered so they tried to make contact with him to see if he had got his phone or whether I needed to call police. Eventually OH manages to get a gap between jobs and goes home, everywhere secure and the school phoned to say DS hadnt got phone. Conclusion - dear little doogie must have jumped on the arm of the chair in DS room where the phone laid and put his paw on it to dial me :rotfl:

Hope you all have a good evening and I will catch you when I fly tomorrow.

A word or two for embb & DD...

YAY PASTIES
!!!!!!!!!!!

I've done nothing more than I had earlier.. apart from reload the DW and TD.

I never even touched the childrens rooms.. and I am upset... I went to the shop and broke a newly painted nail closing a freezer.. all for the frozen peas within!!!

Gremlins banished to bed.. hubby going for a blob and I'm off to lounge in the bath I think.. I'll see if I can get him to photograph the topiary later lol.. on the top of my person.. not *that* shrubbery.. thank you Tia..

I keep getting those shooting pains in my head again that I got with the migraines.. hopefully I've caught it in time and can avoid it.. I'm going for a half hour snooze before my shower I think..

Someone told me I look really drained and unwell today.. must be lack of sleep..

I don't have to find uniforms or do packed lunches.. and I am going to bag up and freeze the remaining bread bombs.. so I should.. all being well.. have enough for next week.

My 'soup' I am going to whizz through the blender and freeze.. if it still tastes revolting I'll just feed it to hubby.. he eats anything!

embb

Hahahaha pigpen (bummer about your nail ) YAY pasties! yum! Thanks ladies for your congrats for DD, I'll pass them on tomorrow when I see her. x

Kaz that's funny bet it gave you a fright at the time though till you found out it was the dog lol

Well, I'm bored! I'm home alone and seem to have developed some energy so I'm toying with the idea of using it productively by doing some housework. Hmmmmmm kids rooms? *gulp* Yeah! I'm gonna do them! strike while the iron's hot and all that............. laters lovely ladies xx

Just popping in to say hello and to give a couple of hugs out to Pollybear and Lil_me.

I've found the bottom of my energy reserves and its empty so another early night tonight and hopefully a lie-in tomorrow. I'm back at work on Sunday too so tomorrow is mine all mine and I'm not going to share or be made demands of!

Have a good evening whatever you're up to.x
