Kids off school now and Hubby off till Wednesday (though he is doing overtime tonight to pay for his parking fine... yes he got caught parking on zigzag lines at a pedestrian crossing - !!!!!)

Yesterday, had my neice up fro a few hours so we made chocolate crispy cakes. Today we went for a run and got ice cream, shame for the kids, they fell asleep, missed the ice cream and woke up when we got home! :rotfl:

Going to print some pics out and get them to make photo frames tomorrow. We have people coming to the house so better do something to keep em amused.

Tonight I need to do the dishes, kitchen, hoover and a general S&S of the rooms likely to be seen.

My vow I must not be a slovenly ho on Mater Bedroom day. I made a mess today looking for a bike pump! Can't get to the bed right now but will kick it all to the side later!

Mudbath

tia - what are you using for photoframes? i want to do this for dd's birthday sleepover.

i have an amusing problem - i've lost a chop stick up my plaster cast and i can't reach it. will have to get one of the littlies to try tomorrow. if they remove the cast and a chop stick drops to the floor i'll be very embarrassed!!

kazmeister

Kids now had their tea but in really carpy moods both of them. Bickering at each other ratting on each other and now DD's yelling somethings not fair, must be to do with the yoghurts she asked for :mad: chill chill chill chill ..........
and now its all my fault rant rant rant ..... chill chill chill chill .............

Ok where was I

moo2moo thanx for the reminder bout the school coat. DD's is minging with grease or something but she doesnt go back until wednesday

solway Wish i could cope with Primark. Everytime I go it has to be a Saturday as our Nearest is in Norwich 40 milles away and on Saturdays its like a jumble sale. Cant do that or TK Maxx when theyre busy.

Pigpen wish I could find money like you seem to. Hope you get all sorted

Evening everyone.

Feeling rather stuffed after a late pub lunch at 3 with my mate, and a chinese tonight - made sure i saved most of my share for lunch tomorrow, so won't have to cook anything. Just having a small glass of wine and some chill out time, but i think i will be in bed within the hour. I am shattered today.

Also had a falling out with the fat black cat, who launched himself at me to sit on my knee, but landed on the bump and has left me with some pretty nasty scratch marks. He is so jealous. Couldn't protect the bump as i was sat with my arm around DS reading a book with him.
