    Evening all, just posted some weekend extras for those who want to do more, not all bad I promise :D

    JJef a very happy birthday from all of us :D hope you have a nice evening
    Tia those flowers are lovely, I'd be wondering what he was after too, aren't we all terrible :rotfl:

    Pigpen, those onions look like they have been frozen or something. I'm still using a sack of them I bought in November, kept them in the garage which seems to be helping them stay ok. Aren't the girls starting to look so grown up now, even since last year on the wedding photos.

    Good ish day so far, DS2 has behaved himself (and done AAAAAA to show everyone his tonsils) GP we seen today was soooo much nicer than the others I have seen there, will ask to see her again in future. Was a bit weird as the first thing she asked after spending a few minutes with us if DS2 had special needs, first time someone has asked that when they have spent very little time with him, she was great with him. She's given us both AB courses for this tonsil/cold thing, said we'd been left with it for long enough and was worth a try even if I have got used to being deaf in one ear. She also was very pleased with me :D <<smug grin as I have lost 7kg since last time I was weighed there at the end of October.

    Ended up having to travel miles to get DPs tax disc for his car, local PO doesn't do it, how stupid, why can't they all just do car tax? because the DVLA says no! Went to the pet shop and got supplies in, farm shop for the meats and a natter with farmer and his lovely wife who I am always getting cooking ideas from (while DS2 ran around in the snow with the farm dog, remind me why I kept him off?). I resisted the icecream :o as I need to get the freezer emptied.
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    WELL DONE on the weight loss Lil_me.. that is good.. my lard comes off at about that rate too!! Excellent that she was observant to pick up on DS2 so quickly.. most people still look at mine like they are loopy.. and they don't do it discretely either.. which sets DS1 off.

    jjef.. I have them done once a week just about.

    Mines been going on at that rate Pigpen :o if not more, which is why I feel rather smug :rotfl: I was suprised then pleased all the same that she asked about DS2, he was doing his usual 'new place so I will just make noises' routine, but the last ed psych who spent an hour with him said 'nothing different about him' haha yeah right, this woman picked up on it in minutes. I know what you mean by the stares, I hate it, but put on the brave face, trying to remember 'If they have a problem with it that is their problem not mine' while resisting wanting to scream at the staring person! My mother is a nightmare and believes she should make excuses for them 'explaining they have issues' before they even react to something which drives me insane, if someone wants to know why my son is in a ball on the floor in a supermarket, making errrr woooo woooo errr noises they can ask me and I will tell them.

    Right, where did I put my list? Best go find it and see what I managed to do/forget about.

    Ah here it is......

    [strike] Farm shop - mince, chicken, eggs, sausages, steaks
    DS2 and me to doctors
    Pet shop - dog food, crickets, worms
    Post office - send parcels, tax DPs car
    Try to get more boxes sorted through in DS1s room, I am getting there, honest
    Level 3 boys room
    Vacuum landing - bean bag leaked
    Dailies vacuum through downstairs, meals, S&S bathroom and kitchen [/strike]
    Laundry - 3 loads - [strike]wash[/strike], dry, PUT AWAY NOT IN THE BASKET!
    [strike] Sort through photos which are dumped in drawer and put in the box I found for them
    15 minutes paperwork sorting, bills paying and balancing accounts
    Clean conservatory windows inside
    Wipe sitting room wall where DS1 has 'wiped hands' grrr! [/strike]
    Clear dining table ready for studying :(
    [strike] Sort one unpacking box
    Empty boots order box[/strike] darn I must have ordered PJ shorts instead for DS2, hope they fit him and he'll wear them

    Not bad at all :D <<another smug grin, washings just not drying so that is out of my hands, dining table still has 'stuff' on it which I will sort through some of later.....
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    [/STRIKE]

    It was freezing doing my meeting and greeting today as the doors are constantly opening. A lady did ask why I was dressed like that. Fleece, scarf etc. So I gently explained. We had a heavy snowstorm this afternoon but it hasnt lain. My cat Jake is lying under the radiator he is in for the night I think.
  • jjef Happy Birthday xx

    Away to get ready before BF arrives. I need to do something with my hair. I might give the bathroom a quick swipe while I'm there. Have a good evening everyone xx
