    sorry about the funeral yesterday. Hope you are feeling better! Are you sure that 2 coffees will get rid of the hangover or are you one of those lucky ones that don't get a hangover.

    Pigpen - the children always take things better than you think, dont they?

    That's what I thought until I went upstairs and I have one looking at bunny pics on the pc and 3 sobbing..

    I've only got 1 pair of arms!!

    Poor Pigpen, what was wrong with him do you know?

    also *sends selling over the asking price vibes* and *dirt cheap amazing house comes up for sale at just the right time vibes*

    And, one of my bestest buds is in Hull.

    Now would it be impolite to throw a strop at mater bedroom day? I have DS1 off school today too, he has managed to leave both school jumpers at school, leaves rotten fruit in both his jackets, and by the time I worked it out I just thought sod it, he can have a day off, and now I wish I had sent him in his t shirt!
  • Popping off for rest of today and tomorrow - will catch up on Saturday

    SSL - not sure about whose the bin was, but my tip is to put bits of left-over scented candle wax in the bottom of the bin under the bin liner and the lovely smell lasts ages!
    I'd rather be watching CSI!

    Well we've had the chicken burgers. Not gone bad, but really dry and hard. I didn't tell DH about the date or he would have felt ill on principle :D The jacket spuds and baked beans were nice though. And that's one less box in the freezer.
