  • Morning all,

    Aussie Happy Birthday. Enjoy what's left.
    Pink :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:
    mrs mix good luck with Vampira. :D
    ((((hugs)))) to all those who need/want one.

    W**k today and although I could really use the extra money for doing overtime, I think I will finish at my normal time today. I feel as though the housework is getting away from me and everywhere I turn there is mess. So, plan is to finish w**k, come home and do 15min bursts of clearing and tidying. That way, I won't get stressed about it and feel as though I have achieved something by the time I go to do the school run.

    Have a wonderful Wednesday! xx

    I`m back,
    i finally got my second cuppa and i`m finding it really hard to get going today, i`ll probably pop in and out for a while to see what everyone is doing and try to motivate myself, i think it`s because i know that there is so much i need to do and really don`t want to /can`t be ar**d.:rolleyes:
    So far the bird table has been filled and the dw emptied, the washing put away and the marinade for the pork made and put into the fridge.
    For tea tonight we will be having............................you guessed it PORK
    well oriental pork actually.
    The microwave has just beeped so the dog food is ready and needs a good stir to settle it before it is cool enough for them to eat DH left me a note to say that todays food had been put down and both the hounds have scoffed the lot :eek: no wonder they don`t want to move, thats some amount of food.
    I think he will have done this around 4am so no doubt they`ll need some more soon.
    Right i WILL make another attempt to get something done!!!!
    SD
    Planning on starting the GC again soon :p

    Miss tru split up with her boyfriend, we were up til 2am with her in tears. She hasn't got work til 1.30pm so she's having a lie-in.

    Ironing
    Washing x 2

  • Morning all :hello:

    Aussie....I hope your day has been wonderful. :beer: What kitchen appliance are you looking forward to on your anniversary? :p I bet you were hoping he'd buy you this :D
    Twink...Nice to see your post...Give my love to Kyle. x
    Mrs Mix...Good luck with Dracula's daughter.
    Churchie....What time did you [strike]fall over [/strike]get to bed? :p
    Wannasavemoney....good luck with the weigh in.
    Snowy....Good luck with the job hunting. Can't you get a job as aTV reviewer? :confused:;)
    Pink.....There's really nothing to say to that is there. Personally I'd have had you arrested. :rolleyes: :p;):D
    Hugs to Miss Tru. x

    Well I stayed up far too late last night and am regretting it now.:o I made up a pancake batter to do blueberry pancakes for the girls' brekkie which seemed like a good idea last night but not such a great idea at 7.30 am with my eyes crossed through lack of sleep. :rolleyes:
    WM was on overnight so the laundry needs hung out. DW has gone on and BM is on for dough.
    Have a friend coming for coffee this afternoon so want to make some muffins and need to freeze the brocoli and stilton soup I made last night.
    Tea is sausage, egg and chips for them and something else for me as I hate chips. ;)

    Have a lovely day everyone.

    Haribo x
