Hugs to everyone who has had a bad day cos of meany hubby's or other stresses and woes.

I've not done much today really.. definitely got the sniffles.

Made some bread. S&S the kitchen.

Made the kids spag bol for lunch and boiled eggs for tea.

I finished off all the weeks leftovers, sweet potato and pancetta cakes, pork snitchel (sp!) some salad and a boiled egg!! - wierd combo but actually didn't taste too offensive.

The twins won £30 on the National. They want to buy a spider with their winnings :eek: .

I put my bet on with Betfair and then forgot my login name. Doh. Luckily they just sent me an email with the login name on, so I've just checked and I've won 30 smackers too :j (minus the tenner I bet though).

I think I might nip out and grab a bottle of plonk .. for medicinal purposes of course:rolleyes: .

:bdaycake: Happy Birthday embb and Nicki's DD!

Hope you've both had a good day.

Well, after catching up with the thread this morning I decided I'd have a go at this Betfair thing and I've won £40 so dead impressed and got £30 tracked on Quidco.

Hugs to all those with PITAs!

Pink fairy - hope everything gets sorted out ok at your end - make sure you look after yourself though as well as everyone else!

Ssssh everybody who has won of Mrs M will be after you for her 10%

Just been through 4 huge boxes of kids old clothes from the loft and found heaps to fit DS3 so won't need to buy him much this summer. Found a few bits for DS2 aswell so tomorrow it will be a mass try on session tomorrow afternoon.

Cleaned a bit more in DS1 room but not in the mood as I'm really tired so calling it a day.

New shoes need to go back - they are noisey when I walk on the wooden floor in the bedroom and as they are for invigilating they need to be quiet ho hum.

Night all.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!

DS has just decided for reasons known only to himself to unplug the BM to bring and show me that the bread was 'ready'.

Unfortunately it isn't. The bread had risen but has not started to bake yet.

Will the breadpan be ok if I stick it in the oven to bake?

lil_me

prettypennies plug it back in and see if it's saved where it's up to, if not....don't bake it in the oven in your BM pan, either break it into smaller rolls or put it in a loaf tin. I don't know about your BM manual but mine says not to use it in the oven.

Oh I forgot to tell you all, DS1 kicked a ball this week for the first time ever DP and I nearly passed out on the spot, he kicked the ball twice at the goal after that aswell (DP of course let him score) wohoooo just shows never give up he's 9 now and it's the first time he's kicked a football, he has major meltdowns at the thought of it usually. Really pleased with him.

Did a massive fruit salad earlier, banana, grapes, apple, kiwi, raspberries and strawberries. DS2 managed to eat bananas and grapes but the rest got spat, will keep trying him. DS1 of course ate it all, if only he'd eat more veg :rotfl: If only I could shake them both up in a bottle and mix them together then pour them into 2 glasses

Hippy110

Mudbath - looks like your mantra worked well for quite a few of us - you'll be quids in with your 10%s!!

Gunsandbanjos - thanks again for the Betfair tip - got the first & second (did cover 7 runners though!!) :j

Pigpen - honestly I am flying, just still got quite a bit to do tomorrow - list is helping.

Lil_me.. YAY for DS1... my DS2 was about that age too.. great isn't it?!! I was most proud too!

I have sold another item on ebay.. £5 more in my account ..

I have rehomed 2 binbags of baby clothes.. yes I had that many!!!! And the car seat has gone.. and I have the playpen in the paper on Tuesday and Wednesday.. need to drag it out of the shed to wash it though!

My cats appear to be having a mad half hour.. they are yowling and running up and down the hallway andkilling one another all over the floor.. as you do!!!

The woodwork in the little loo is now undercoated.. hubby did it so he is undercoated too!!

LMAO.. we just noticed the rabbits have orange faces.. they had a carrot earlier and their little fuzzy faces are orange.. they look like they've been devouring carcasses lol..

Having a cuppa nad I am off to make myself beautiful and whizzing off to the public hovel! Who am I having a drink for tonight?? we are a bit strapped for cash so I can't have too many for you all!

Jumbling up the days again next week.. so you have been warned!!

I have just spent the best part of 1.5 hours defleaing girls!! I also washed DD2's hair myself so I know it is clean.. I am sick of seeing her all greasy looking cos she thinks at nearly 11 she is big enough to wash her waist length hair herself.. She looked like Snape earlier lol now she looks like Hagrid.. I think she inherited my wild hair!!

Have one for me Pigpen - I've got none in as I'm suppose to be t-total.

DD threw a wobbler once everyone had gone about 6pm :mad: I sent her to bed before I lost it and she carried on. Problem is she's now using missing Ex as an excuse for everything so I phoned him once he'd gotten home, explained everything that had/was going on and he's phoning tomorrow morning to speak to her. My concern is that she's saying I'm ignoring her and I hate her as I've been busy (the fact I spent 3 days decorating her room for her doesn't come into it! Oh and that doesn't count the two shopping trips to look for stuff for her room!) so it needs to be dealt with now before I start my degree/teaching course in about 2 weeks and have less "free" time :eek: :rolleyes::mad:

So, I'm going to finish watching this episode of CSI : New York and then I'm going to bed. I would go for a bath but I'm so tired I'd probably fall asleep in it and with no heating in the bathroom I'd soon turn into an ice-cube! :rotfl:

See you all tomorrow, and I'll pass on the birthday wishes to DD, thanks! :wave:
