    Trying to have a clear out of clutter, and I have come across my pile of old cards from our DS and my DH, I find it hard to part, how do you all handle it?

    I don't part with stuff like that;) , just stuff that's useless, old or no longer any use, like my exs:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

    Afternoon all
    Thanks for all your comments about Katy's latest adventure.
    Choc Orange without Katy's financial contribution I can't afford my mortgage, so needs must.
    Busy girl, if Katy's exploits were made into a TV program, it would have to be shown after the watershed.
    Anni & Suesy, I think she took the pics to send over MSN, to some guy she's been chatting to online, my main worry is that her MSN ID is her full name & as it is a very unusual name, I have visions of her being tricked into sending the pics to one of her pupils!
    Mrs Mix, SOMO Candy, Rzl, Tarusgb thanks.
    There are only 7 bananas left now from the 3 carrier bags full that Katy bought last Friday.
    I made the yummy lemon cake, it's supposed to be for work, but I'm not sure there will be any left by tomorrow. Hubby has a full weeks work next week, Woo Hoo. DD1 has made an appointment for us both to see a mortgage advisor on 5th April.
    Hugs Hester

    Hello everyone,

    *hugs* to Smoky
    more *hugs* to anyone else who needs them

    Kyle - hope you're feeling better: not so good that ds1 is still sick: just in time for the holidays, huh? I hope you don't have to take him to the hospital.

    Hester - I love your posts and your blog! You have a great style of writing and your topics are great :D

    It's been quite a sunny day here today. OH and I got a pile of stuff cleared out to the dump this afternoon, and am gearing myself up to the next batch. I made chicken curry for a belated lunch/early tea which was lovely and am just about to make a cuppa and watch the results show for "I'd do anything" on BBC1. The WM has finished, so will put another load on before the program starts, and afterwards will make the lunches for tomorrow. I'm feeling vaguely organised today for a change :D Then I can do a bit more crocheting this evening and relax before the start of the week.

    I've bought my dress for the wedding, so now have to lose a bit more weight to fit into it - intentionally bought it a size smaller so that's motivation! :eek: Time is catching up with me: I can't believe it'll be June so soon.

    Take care all - *hugs* for all, take or lleave as you please...

    Evening All

    Hester - is Katy definatly going in July?? Hope so for your sanity.

    Well its 7.30 and its still daylight :j .

    After the wet miserable start the sun came out and stayed out all afternoon.

    Did ok in town, couldnt get a new outfit for DD but bought her some accesories to bling up an old one so that saved me some pennies. The shops were half full of sale stuff then the other half seemed to be vests and shorts.

    A couple of loads of washing done and not much else, did cook everyones favourite dinner though which takes a lot off cooking but is just as nice and about £30 cheaper than our local american diner.

    Treated myself with some birthday money to some Lush bath bars so am just about to jump in the bath with a good book.

    Have a lovely evening.
