    Morning everyone.
    We have blue sky here!! Hope it lasts for a few hours at least as dh wants to finish taking the kids old wooden playframe down, they hardly played on it last summer so have decided it is coming down to give them more room to play footy at the top of the garden. As we have split the garden into 3 parts the patio is now the basketball court ,then dh last year built a raised grassed area which he has fenced off with trelis, this is the adults party/bbq area, the the top of the garden is where the trampoline and slide and swings are, and now the footy area. Hopefully this will stop me dodging the balls hitting my wine this summer!!!
    Have loads of tidying up to do and washing, need to make sure ds1 has finished his homework projects, ready to hand in on thusday and tonight is my first weight in at slimming world! Fingers crossed as i had quite alot of vodka and fresh cream cakes at the inlaws last week!!

    Hugs to all

    Morning all - I have a paint headache from painting some of the radiators last night.
    jet77:eek: - hope you "find" that missing peice soon

    Squiggly Diddly - be very very careful with ex. Last year I let mine stay for a bit to sort himself out - took me about 5 minutes to remember why we had split up in the first place and could't get rid for months - it was very hard for dd11 who had to do the whole split up thing again even though we weren't in a relationship. A year on he is still living with his mum and skint despite taking home over 3 grand per month.

    We are having easter today - exoh bringing dd11 back and dd18 and dgs3 coming too. dd22 is still here and her boyf might come over after work. if he comes the bf will have to share soem quorn sausages with veggie dd as he's moslem and we're havign pork.
    ah well - must get on - have a good day everyone

    Smokey - hugs to you and the children
    I'm going to feed our children non-organic food and with the money saved take them to the zoo - half man half biscuit 2008

    Morning Chums ,I am off to Fort Amherst this morning with the tribe as there is something on for the children there. At least if it's cold we can go into the tunnnels
    <<Hugs to those in need >> and I hope everyone has a peaceful bank Holiday Monday.yesterday was spent at my DD's 'helping' the children eat their eggs and playing monoploy.Followed by watching 'The Great Escape' again. There is definitely something about Steve McQueen on a motorbike that gets me quite smiley-faced;)
    Turkey dinner last night was gorgeous.
    take care all

    AAAAAAAHHHHHHH have just tripped over holding DD's porridge and splatted it ALL OVER the kitchen!!! While I was on my hands and knees wiping cupboards, I noticed the oven needed cleaning as did the insides of the cupboards ... so it now looks like I'm cleaning the kitchen today. I've just covered everything in lemon juice and bicarb while I have another coffee to give me a bit of a caffeine kick!!

    Cranky ... that's a great idea ... I'm going to go and get some cornflakes so we can melt some easter eggs too... they've got far too many!!

    Good morning everyone

    I'm hoping to get lots done today - Good Friday I did very little, Saturday a little more than Friday, Easter Day a few jobs more than Saturday so today should be a good one. :D A beautiful blue sky today - shame my WM is acting up. :mad:

    Jet hope you soon have a full Operation game again. ;):D Hope DD isn't too uncomfortable either.
    Smoky ((((hugs)))) to you and your DChildren. Thinking of you each and every day.
    Haribo have you ever seen "Everybody Loves Raymond"? Your MIL sounds a bit like Raymond's mum IYKWIM.
    dogrose Groundhog Day is one of my favourite films! Think I might even watch it today.

    (((hugs))) to those having in-laws, outlaws, , DH or DChildren troubles (seems to be quite a few today!)

    Have a marvellous BH Monday. xx
