    Pigpen that is stunning, what a clever boy Mr Pigpen is :D I have a gastly minimalist modern steel gas fire with no surround, ick!

    Hint worked, I went up and started stripping the bed with him still in it :rotfl: he got up after moaning. Bed stripped, first load in and remade with the spares because I am sick of going to bed close to midnight and remembering I need to make it before I can sleep.

    FF is doing it's stupid error codes again, every day for 3 days in a row and now my stuff has frosting on, going to ring them, engineer said 'not to worry' before but it's constantly doing it and effecting my food!

    Eeeek forgot to remind DP to come off his cross trainer, best go as he's been on it ages..
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    :confused:Same thought entered my head

    My DS1 tried the feel ill this morning, PE first thing on Wednesday, he's always 'poorly' on Wednesdays. Oh and he had a hissy fit because he couldn't find his usual shoes so I had to put him in laces ones :mad: told him in future he might put them where they go, have since found them in 2 seperate places.

    Just put 7 £2 coins in my tin, getting heavier but only 1/8th full, I keep wanting to weigh it, see if I can figure how much is in it....
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    Back from the doctors and DD has an ear infection :rolleyes: Back to school for her tomorrow as otherwise she's bouncing!

    Right, I need to get some jobs done, the place is actually quite clean and tidy, just dishes and my bed needs changing :D I need to hoover the livingroom though but will wait until after tea since DD is making a heck of a mess with crumbs etc :rolleyes: Personally I'd rather curl up in bed and sleep though. :o

    Hi
    Busy at work today! Reading inbetween jobs. So have forgotten what everyone said.
    Hugs to those who need them, Parrots for those unwell, unless you've already taken some. I am sooooo cold!

    Going to do the bathroom tonight, sorry pigpen, I know it's lounge, hall and stairs but I did most of that yesterday. Bathroom is a bit minging (not really that bad just seems it). And will def do some papers tonight and make a couple of loaves of bread.
    Took my cake I made last night round mum's with dd2 so they could have a piece each, mum just phoned to say dd2, her, dad, aunty and uncle have all had a piece each and she will wash my plate!!!!! I suppose at least I can't eat anymore.
    Going to 'share' with dd2 after school, a little group where we make stuff, this one is the easter one, we have lots of fun and mums/teachers have lots of laughs. DD1 is at hama bead club! That girl is obsessed with them, I am paying £2 a week for her to do the club at school and I think we have about 1,000,000 hama beads indoors!!! never mind.
    Have a good day and I'll catch up later. x
    Need to sort my life out! :T

    Now you mention it his room is a bit of a !!!!!! hole!!

    I could do with his laundry down.. and the dirty pots etc and even a binbag or 3 of rubbish!

    There I was just going to send him off to bed so he was out of the way! Now I'll need to go to pub tonight cos he will drive me to drink all afternoon.. but I can leave Tiddles at home instead of dragging her out in the wind and cold to go collect the others... bonus!
