    Okay I'll check for yellow clothes - if all else fails, I have bananas! Thinking of you AnW's mum.

    Vanilla - were you jealous because Mudbath was attempting to get out of flying so thought you'd join her? Hope it feels better soon!

    Shell - how did the interview go? It was today wasn't it?

    So far today I've washed a huge mound of dishes, tidied and hoovered the LR, WM x 3 & TD x 3, been to the dentist. Will that do for now?

    Hope all poorly peeps are feeling better soon

    Hugs to all

    Does anyone know where I can get a Rainbow's uniform from without paying full price? There is some on ebay but they seem to be going for ridiculous amounts!

    Ask one of the adult leaders at your local Rainbows - when I did Brownies we always had a stock of 2nd hand uniform available - its probably still the same! Or try posting a message on your local Freecycle or netmums sites.

    Although no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending.... life is a WIP.

    Happy birthday to pigpen's 9 year old.

    Juliejim no way i'll fly i promise.

    Right school uniforms ready, kids in bed and more sheets in TD. Gonna go and half make the bed.:rotfl: Then do a tesco shop:j nothing in the cupboards.
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.

    Think i might have the dreaded bug off DS. Trouble is i am so constipated from being pregnant, i am getting nasty stomach pains, but no relief. Sorry TMI. I have also had a good bit of time snoozing on the sofa while DS was asleep this afternoon, and still feel really shattered now. Will see how i feel tomorrow morning i think.


    shell has chicken pox, so not around. Don't know about her interview though.

    something yellow - not sure i have anything, except perhaps stripey socks. No bananas either. I will eat some custard tomorrow in support of AnW's mum.



    tuesday 3rd March

    • we have some theatre and dinner vouchers, and we picked the play we are going to go watch - now need to get DH to book tickets.

    so a bit of a feeble attempt from me today from what i wanted to achieve, but DS was a pleasure to be with.

    We had a fun time having a bath together, and he had us in stitches calling his daddy by his first name and refusing to call him daddy.He's turning into a parrot and picking up new words by the day, so brilliant to be around at the moment.

    Michelle, x


    that should do for now, plus whatever else the day throws at me. Right, computer off now so i can get the h/w marked, and then hang the wet clothes up.

    Night.
