Morning all, I'm going to make a start menu planning, clearing my paperwork and the washing. Also just remembered need to walk down to town centre to collect BFs car as I decided to have a drink last night. Need to do it before 1.30 when the footie starts.

Lil_me - I was going to recommend chucking brake fluid (or neat starclen?)over the neighbours car and/or scraping the sides with your car keys. But you're probably better taking likklegibbon's advice and parking/blocking them. They'll soon take the hint. Also, it maybe worthwhile talking to your Community Beat Police Officer? Good luck xx

AnW's Mum - big hug to you xx

AnW's Mum - good luck with the SA - just chip away at it and it'll be done before you know it - the first time of anything is always daunting and next time will be a lot more simple (((hug)))

Morning :wave:

likklegibbon ouch for the rash and well done on saving for your new windows :T
AnW'smum Could the tax people ot help you out with it, I'm sure they used to do a 'help to fill it in' thing at one time, Good Luck with it x

Been to Sainsbury's for a few bits and milk which I ran out of and I can't be doing with no cuppa first thing lol.....S&S'd the kitchen, DW filled and on, TD on. some washing folded, got the dinner ready to be prepped, and messed about with littley.

OH came round last night and we talked, it's very complicated so I wont go into it, but there's hope (not much, but hope all the same) for the future of our marriage. Just taking it easy. Still got the 'tension' headache though, I hate deep/adult chats they're just not me, I'm not adult lol

Going to bung the hoover round the floors in a minute cause the ming is doing my head in.

i didn't think we were doing anything major today, but we decided while the airers/ironing board etc etc were away in the spare room we might as well get on with it and move our bed into the spare room today so we can just get on with bits through the week. So, me and charlie are hanging out downstairs cos we were really in the way, but i may have to turn the baby monitor off cos the clattering and banging is really loud and scary when you can't see what is happening.

lil-me keep a log now of when the people are being burks, and personally, i wouldn't retaliate in any way however tempting as it won't back up your case.

LG sorry to hear you are still not right. I was hoping your dad might be a bit better by now too. My dad is still laid up with his feet, and he had an op the same time as your dad and he hasn't had all the complications, and still not fully healed. best wishes that things will start to go a bit smoother.

In terms of my progress - WM is emptied, not on airers yet as i can't now till DH has finished, and i bet i now can't find a thing. Our bed stripped, and in the WM - glad i didn't do it yesterday now as charlie's nose was bleeding a bit this morning, and some blood ended up on my pillow case.

I think most of the washing loads i do get done can go in the TD today.

Let's see what else i can mange at the minute that is useful - probably not a lot - lol

Morning

Hope everyones ok this morning, Hugs to embb AnW's mum and lilme, orders to michelle to take it easy, and to everyone else a big hello and best wishes

Notmuch done yet this weekend. OH decided that as he was off this weekend we could go into town yesterday - groan as I could have managed without but DD enjoyed frittering away her Christmas money so at least someone was happy. Then we did the food shop together. DO NOT TAKE YOUR MAN SHOPPING. I have been really good this month keeping the grocery sppend to between £40 - £50 each week, take the man and it went up to £95 :eek: . Next week i have approx £15 - £20 if I want to come in under budget on my first grocery challenge :mad: .

Didnt get up until 10 - 10 this morning so have breakfasted, washed up (and put away for a change), sorted all the washing and put first load in (and now on here while I gulp my :coffee: ). Am going to go get showered and dressed in a min then probably walk doogie, come back and fly, cook lunch, bake, wash and iron, oh and make time for 'quality time' with DD.

How many hours are there until bedtime ...... runs off quickly
