There was loads of blue tits in my back garden last week, they're dead bonny! I resisted the urge to make a joke! yay! We've also had Robin's jumping about now and again.

Happy birthday Master Dusty:j

Emmb Ds1's gone to Hilston Park I'm sure he'll have a great time but he's never been away this long without me being able to contact him.

Also regarding the income support have you gone back to work? because when i did they paid me 2 extra weeks income support and housing benefit so it could be that.

embb

I know what you mean about the contact Holly, I get fidgety when I'm unable to get to my kids.

Yes I started work on 23 Jan, ooooh it could be that then, I've already claimed the 4 week run-on for the housing benefit and council tax, they've just confused me with this £250 grant thing, but that's made me feel better Thanks xx

6 parcels parcelled.. lol.. I'm not doing very well!!

Tiddles was 'a litle monkey' at nursery apparently.. I just laughed and said why do you think I was so keen for her to start?! The teacher said she wouldn't sit still in assembly and kept talking ALL the time. Then when they were outting things away she was following them around getting it all back out again and fiddling in things when she shouldn't have been and wouldn't sit down.. pmsl..

I said she is 3.. that is what they are supposed to be like!!

Afternoon everyone!

Clean and sparkly kitchen here, as I can't cope with any more change this week!
The whole house seems turned upside down, as OH is still doing the wardrobes in our room. We have one third assembled and standing in the right place, and I have helped carry up the next third.

I've just had a phone message saying our sofas are ready for delivery on Wednesday - the original date was for mid March, so a bit of a panic as the livingroom still has most of the bedroom stuff in it, and I wanted to have a new carpet fitted before the sofas were delivered!! I expect we'll manage...

Happy birthday Master Dusty!:bdaycake:

embb - I feel just like that this morning too. Got off to a bad start, as there was no hot water. Everyone but me washed their hair and had showers last night, and there obviously wasn't enough time for the boiler to heat again before it switched off at 11pm. Major hissy fit, as I cannot start my day without a shower, and it won't be happening again, you can be sure of that!

play2day :grouphug:dodgy hug for you and DS3, I hope that he is better now.

:wave:to all the newbies joining us this week!
pigpen - well done on ebay!
lil_me - more good luck for the course!

destiny_star2006

must do the ironing but its higher than me so putting me off lmao any inspiration for me please??

pigpen

destiny.. go get that ironing done.. do half an hour... and we want a before and an after pic so we can see how much you have done and heap praise accordingly!!! I put on some awful country music.. then I iron as fast as possible because I can't turn it off until the ironing is done!! and I have 2 cups of tea on standby!

Go.. it is making your house look totally messy and tip like... shoo....

Really cross that I've finally recieved the pushchair I ordered and its faulty!!! Gggrrrr! Was just going to accept some money off for it but it still won't be right and when I've had the money back and spent it, it'll still be faulty.

Feel really poop now so going to chill out on sofa for a bit while DS naps. DH has promised to be home before 6 to help out but we'll see.

Enjoy your afternoon
