    In my defence I am feeling utterly carp... :o WM is still in the middle of the kitchen floor - I can't decide if I should leave it out until tuesday (to keep the utility free for lino man) or just put it back now and tackle the overspill from the basket in the bathroom :confused:

    Playroom is still tidy though :D

    oh no see what happens when you go turning out the kids wardrobes? Middle daughter needs to have bras now I think. She is in year 7 but such a little dot. She still wears 10 year old clothes and is 12 in a couple of weeks. I feel sorry for her really. 13 year old is already in a 34D and she hates it. Its my legacy to my children lol

    My 13 year old was so glad to hear that and she is in a 34C and she is tiny.. age 12 clothes with big melons on her front.. lol

    Dolly Parton lookalikes lol All Jodie is worried about is that when she goes back to school they are going to say she stuffs her bra. She has been small for so long.

    Hi guys :wave:

    Been on FB and added some of you but I can't find mudbath or pink fairy, I'm the one with the black and white top, fat face and heaving bosoms :D just add me. Pigpen, I cn't find you're photos for looking, any hints?

    I'm knackered today, I'm all achy and have a pounding headache which started before work and gradually got worse :rolleyes: end of the week and probs exhausted....Thank F*** it's FRIDAY! woot! :j Posties been while I was out with a birthday card from my aunty, and I'm gutted cause I hoped she would be coming up to see me *wails* I've cancelled the meal out though, I'm too tight to pay £40 for a meal so we're having something home-made instead :D

    Think littleys going to her nanas tonight (not confirmed yet) so a chippy tea and a hot bubbly bath is on the cards for me tonight, gonna settle down and watch Law & Order then SVU then probs hit the sack. Kids broke up from school today too, 2 weeks of no pack ups and no rushing around in the mornings yay!

    Kitchen is a tip! *ignores kitchen*

    Not a lot done here today either. I have:-

    Taken girls swimming
    Got their hair cut on way home (cost as much in barbers as hairdressers - I thought it would be cheaper:confused: )
    Popped to shop for few bits needed
    Applied for job (sent CV in)

    Still to do:

    Hoover through
    Lunch dishes
    Get girls to put My Little Pony stuff back in their bedroom

    Couldnt be bothered to:-

    Post stuff to parents in Spain
    List ebay stuff

    Is it too early for a glass of wine:o hmm me thinks so or I will be asleep on the couch by 5.30:rotfl: .

    DD2 asleep as swimming zonked her out. I should wake her really but she will be a grumpy moo, but then if not she will be a pain to settle at bedtime and its my turn to read the story:rolleyes: .

    :wave: everyone.

    Just been sat her for the last 2 hours:eek: catching up on the posts and placing bets on the Grand National (Thanks GnB).

    :j :j Just checked Quidco and it has tracked the £50 :j :j Now we just need one of the horses I've bet on to win! Those money making vibes are definately working Mudbath! Can I pay your 10% in kind - take your pick - oreo cookies, HM banana bread, HM rhubarb crumble (needs defrosting though - I'll warm it up for you and make custard too and you can eat it one handed!)

    Done NO flying today yet :eek: *hangs head in shame* but did take the girls for a picnic in the park then let DD1 watch High School Musical 2. She kept telling me off when I sang along to all the songs though!:rotfl:

    Someone please give me a big KICK and I will make a start on DD1's room. Incidentally Pigpen, she has been a little star this week and has cleared the table, wiped the placemats and table, swept the kitchen floor after tea and helped put the pots in the dishwasher every day this week. We've decided to make that her job everyday now. She's also got to help keep her bedroom tidy - I say help cos her idea of tidying up is shoving everything in a drawer no matter if it belongs there or not. Saying that, isn't that mine too! :rotfl:

    Someone motivate me please!!!!!!!
