right although its been !!!!!! week I have now decided that just a few rough bits were only made worse by the fact that:
1. I am not getting a full night's sleep thanks to one beautiful little baby so I can't really complain cos when I get up to feed her she's so warm and cuddly(She is so gorgeous at the minute, really smiley and giggley, just loving her
)
2. I came on today (that department all a bit random due to bf) so waqs prob a bit hormonal the last few days anyway
So for a change instead of a big moan I am going to list the nice things that have happened this week:
1. DD2 and DS passports arrived today :T so thats that done
2. Kids and I went to dentist yesterday, all our teeth are fine, no sign of any decay
3. Friend and I went to the cinema tonight
4. My friend from back home is in London on Monday and DH has said he will work(ish) from home so I can go and meet her for lunch :T and Monday is St Patrick's Day so we can drink Guiness together :beer:
5. I offered a lady and her kids to share our table at swimming pool cafe today and she shared their fairycakes with my DD1 who was made up
6. My lovely friend took me home for lunch unexpectedly after the thing the other day
7. We decided we are going to try and visit our friends in Paris sometime for a long weekend, and do EuroDisney :T :T :T
8. DD1 FINALLY passed her swimming level and gets a badge etc - only her second ever one, bless her
9. Friends invited us on a quiz night which we said yes to but has now been abandoned in favour of a drink and a meal out :beer:
10. Got accepted for 4 mystery shopping assignments totalling £80

Friday so far:
Walked Arsha
Veges done for dinner
Curves
One load of washing on the line
Baked three dozen muffins - 1 doz blueberry and 2 doz pumpkin choc chip.
I'm trying to get junk food out of our pantry, but that means I'm going to have to be more creative for their snacks!
I'm not feeling like doing much this afternoon, so I might find something I can do sitting down. Sort photos, or something!
Banking to do
Roast chicken for dinner tonight
Need to phone DS1 and tell him about his tax bill :eek: only he's had his cell phone stolen, and I can't find his landline number!
Mrs Pepperpot - you are doing just fine!! We all work at different levels. I don't really follow Pigpens list because I work part time and tend to do things like that on the days I'm home, not the days I work.If there is to be any peace, it will come through being, not having - Henry MillerM.A.C.A.W Member . .

will get the weigfht loss think kicked into touch tomorrow. too tired now sorry. thanks for all the hugs. Latest is friend advised I report it so spent an hour at police station doing so thiw mirning (and going home to get driving docs to show them)
Went out to cinema tonight, was very nice, except UNBELIEVABLY there was a joke in it about a taxi running over a mans foot :eek: how spooky is that
juliejim - so did DS take his bucket to the party (bless him). How is he now ?
tracyg - oh yeah I remember now it was you who said OMFG ! Knew it was someone with at least one littley. And yes please come and do a streak or something , need eyes off me cant wait to be other side of the weekend! you do make me laugh though saying you're glad your DH is back even if he is "an annoying sod" :rotfl:
g&b - the 10lb weight loss in 6 weeks ? Well WW always suggest an average of 1.5 lbs a week is achievable which would mean 9lbs for 6 weeks, so I gues near enough ?
kaz "As for men, they are second class creatures who dont have much of a clue in the real world " this really made me :rotfl: thanks for giving me a giggle (in fact I think I may have spat coffee out)
ssl - target for this week I suppose 1.5lbs. Going to try and think of anything more as a bonus. There si no plan for the child benefit money reslly, I sort of forgot about it really!!!! We might just save itall for them, or we might use it for holidays, not sure yet. I like your BMI thing better thanmine
tmd - my Mum is the same. Comes for days at a time to "help". All she does is look disapprovingy over her glasses at me and leave half read newspapers everywhere.
