    IG, I LOVE that dress btw. It's simple and classy and you will look amazing in it!

    Pregnancy 1 - the scampi fries and strawberry icecream then a phase of eating leaves. I was a floristy and I'd just start chewing on greenery.

    Pregnancy 2 - I didn't eat.

    Weird eating habits - a lot! :rotfl:

    Kids beds made
    Toys picked up off the floor
    Kids fed
    Kids drugged
    Kids in bed

    All I plan on doing tonight is the dishes and give the sofas a wipe, sticky jam patches.

    Evening everyone, Good day?

    Had a massively lazy day today (pigpen says wot again! :D )

    Made GF hot cross buns this morning then decorated a hat with DD for the Easter party. Glue was drying on the radiator at 2.45 and party was at 3!! Made it just in time and managed to get OH to drop us off and collect us so was able to have a drink or two :beer: . DD won her age group with Easter story hat so she was chuffed although I thought my friends2 that she had made for her step daughters were far superior - the secret I think is to make them look home made, hers were so brilliant that they looked shop bought :confused: .

    Since home I've cleared away the mess DD and I made earlier and er done NOTHING. OH was obviously expecting tea but I've done none and have no intention of getting any, I'm quite happy with what I've had - hot cross buns for breakfast lunch and tea :D

    LG loved the dress and shoes - plain but Sooo stylish

    Lilme and pigpen My OH is exactly the same as your two, best keep out of the way when somethings not going right - fine by me

    Suppose I best go talk to him now as Its the first night he's been home for 8 days

    See ya'll 2moro
    Mortgage, we're getting there with the end in sight £6587 07/23, otherwise free of the debt thanks to MSE help!

    vanilla - my ds has eczema and has had it since birth. since we got rid of the carpets downstairs his eczema has really reduced. i'm not brave enough to put laminate upstairs though as i think it will be too noisy. hope he feels better soon xx

    As long as you get a sound reducing underlay, like a fibreboard, its not noisy at all.

    There is even an antimicrobial laminate floor on the market now which is ideal for these environments.

    :rotfl: kaz you said that like it was a bad thing

    Goodnight Mudbath, don't think I'll be staying up late tonight. I shouldn't say that because then something happens so I can't go to bed....kids going to bed with a book at 7.30pm, lights off at 8.30pm!

    Snows getting bad in some places up here, worry about DP even more in bad weather, not too bad where we live but some of the places he's been is worse. He is usually sensible, kicking passengers out if where they want to go is not safe to drive :rotfl: which suprises some that he does it but he does warn them.
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    Well I'm just about to send the kids to bed and then I think I'll be joining them!

    I'm absolutely shattered after having two late nights.

    I can't stand the pace!:rotfl:
