    Yaaaaaaaaaay!!!! I'm me for a whole 8 days:j :j :j not MOT!!

    I know exactly how you feel :) my kids go to their dads Saturday lunch time until Sunday lunchtime every week.It's pure bliss! :D
    Someone asked me why it was different to having the day to myself whilst they're at school.I explained that when they're at school I still have things to do, times to keep to like picking up, kids clubs, planning tea times ect.When they're at their dads I can put my music on how loud I like, watch what I want, have a drink middle of the day, go out ,have a bath at 3.30pm.I can do whatever I like!!!!!!:T :T :T

    Enjoy your ME time and Happy Easter :)

    Well MOT enjoy being you for the next few days. Must be absolute bliss - so I hope you and IT are going to enjoy the few days you have of not having to be a full-time Mum for a bit.

    Enjoy and RELAX

    Morning all,

    Well, it is so relaxing having this break - no sounds of squabbling or whining!!
    As much as I love my kids I am really enjoying having this time to myself and it is much needed particularly at the moment.

    Still waiting for confirmation that we can move in next Wednesday - spoke to CAP yesterday who said that electricians were still at house apparently so LL is waiting on them before he can confirm date for us moving in.

    Spent a pleasant weekend with my sister and BIL, took Mum out for lunch on Easter Sunday in Lincoln to a nice restaurant called The Old Bakery. But on Easter Monday Sis and BIL took I-T and I took a fabulous pub/restuarant at South Luffenham and we had probably the best meal we've ever had - it was delicious!! Diet has taken a hammering this week :o:o it was so hard to be able to 'point' both meals out so now having to be really, really good in order to shift any possible gain!

    Housework day today as yesterday spent looking for a new cheaper car as have to sell mine due to Bankruptcy - but as I want a reliable car and am looking for a Toyota Yaris its a bit like looking for a needle in a haystack!
