    Rather a long shot here but does anyone know where a pattern could be got to make this
    We don't need to do it perfectly - good enough is exactly that GOOD ENOUGH.

    Okay I've done some washing, ironed what was in the TD so still no ironing pile, washed dishes - that's about it I think.

    The rest of the day goes like this:

    Get dressed!
    Wrap nephew's birthday present
    Fetch some dog food
    Meet SIL and nephew at McDonalds @ 11.30
    After lunch go back to theirs
    Come home
    Cook and eat tea
    Take DS for his swimming lesson
    Come back
    Get kids in bed
    Have bath
    Go to bed

    Not much time for flying there then.

    I've just had a phone call to say my new PC's arriving tomorrow! I've now got to work out how to save the stuff I've got on this PC before I set the other one up.

    Right, I'd better go and make a move.

    Catch you later

    Morning all. Woken up by workmen this morning digging up the road :rolleyes: Much earlier start than I was planning on since there's only a couple of days holiday left here, but c'est la vie. :rotfl:

    Ex is coming tonight for tea and to see DD so I need to get the ironing done so we can use the dining table, and run the hoover around (maybe a damp cloth over the coffee table since DD has put sticky finger marks all over it), oh and a quick run to Asda for some bits, which hopefully will come in at under £10 :o

    DD asked me this morning if I had fixed her "egg". I said yes and when she saw it she went "but you can still see the cracks" :rolleyes: :confused:

    Oh and while I remember, I've not lost anything this week, but that could be due to the high carb diet last week (PMT :o )

  • no she has 16 year old DD, who was very shocked when she found out and is worried that people will think it's hers if she takes it for walk in it's pram :rotfl:

    :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

    Oh Shelley, that really made me laugh. My DD is 15 this year and I would love another baby. DD thinks the idea is just hideous. I'm a big enough embarrassment to her as it is ;) I'm going to be looking after my cousins baby for a couple of days next month, so I'll be walking down to the school to meet her. Hee hee, I'm so evil....:p
