    Apparently the trick to muffin making is not to over mix the mixture, it should look like lumpy porridge:D

    Awwwwwwwwww flipping FIL, tesco went to there address so FIL rang up to ask if i had a tesco delivery, so up it came anyway and the driver said oh your FIL thought you'd still be in bed.:eek: Good job i got dressed.

    PIL are going away next week for 4 days:j there lovely but abit over the top can't do anything without them knowing, if i do any gardening it's never the right way to do it or if i'm flying it's about time. So for 4 days i can really rip through this house and no one will know.

    DD has decided that her loose tooth is to come out today, so tooth is half in half out and twisted, she even has a letter for the tooth fairy ready.

    juliejim my dad is a mechanic and even he say's they fail on the stupidest of things, the closest MOT center is booked up till the end of may, he's has to start using a center 3 towns away.
    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.

    Hi guys...
    I'm not even going to bother with the list I did yesterday cause I barely got a thing done....I will most definately be back next week..I feel I've lost all motivation for anything the past couple of weeks...its a nightmare...

    Today is going to be spent in the garden finishing off raised beds, doing some music practise (lots of music practise, actually!) and ebaying.

    I tried to list something today and the photos aren't working...I have to get DH to look at it...

    Then I need to sort out dinner, I may do a menu plan for the week while I'm doing it, seeings as I'll be in the freezer...

    ok, gonna grab a cuppa, a jumper and start moving some slabs....

    Aww pooh Juliejim, unexpected unpredictable expense.

    Back a little later than half an hour. Interupted by my poor exhausted brother on the phone from work in the middle of a 12 hour overtime shift. They've got the first viewing of their house on Wednesday and more than suprficial clearing up to do so I've offered to go down on Tuesday to do jobs on the proviso that they book me an Indian head massage in Knaresborough instead of me having it here; I'm not giving that treat up for anybody!

    Bathroom looks lovely, second washload on the line and time for HHC in my bedroom now. Actually, another cuppa first I think..

    DD1 has decided she is cooking a fry up!!
    I'm hoping to get everyone else in the garden, though, to make a start.
    DH will have a fit if we've done nothing.
    Ok, gonna round everyone up.....
