    Lovely sunny day up here (freezing though) so I'm going to surgically remove DS from his PSP and drag him out for a walk. Need to have breakfast first though....

    Busy, busy, busy. Emptying kicthen as new flooring going down. Going to visit mum in morcambe to scrounge tea as can't cook tonight and might fit in a car boot.

    Morning!

    I'm still in pyjamas, Natasha has been up half the night, and then woke up at 6am freaking out because her eyes were completely glued together by conjunctivitis.

    I've bathed them, and they're looking a bit better, but why are they always ill when the doctors isn't open? :o

    Not sure what we are up to today, but the sun is out and I really need to get outside and work off the chocolate I ate yesterday!

    Morning guys

    I'm off to have lunch out with a friend later, but need to nip into town to pick up some bin liners cos I filled 7 sacks wih shredded paper yesterday, mega-shred-athon!

    Weather here is a bit grotty, grey and cloudy and quite chilly. We had a bit of snow last night but it melted over night

    :heartpuls CG :heartpuls
    Ever wonder about those people who spend £2 apiece on those little bottles of Evian water? Try spelling Evian backward.
