    A big well done to your DS Serena - £70 is fab :T

    Teenies turned up and spoilt my plans of cleaning AND loud music :rolleyes: just the cleaning getting done now, I've told him to go and do his room cause I can smell it from here but got a grunt and a shoulder nudge in return, he's doing it NOW I tells ya! *shouts*

    I've started downstairs and I'll work my way up, done everything downstairs barring the hoovering and mopping, will go do that shortly.

    Littleys' back now too, looks like they've been having a make-over session, aunt sally eat your heart out lmao

    Crafty - I've had at least 3 wasps in my kitchen this week - all very sleepy - I think they are coming out of hibination and are looking to build nests so I am disposing of them! I think mine are coming through a little hole in the ceiling where a pipe goes up into the flat roof.
    Thanks Dusty. At least I know I'm not the only one.
    Disposed of mine too.
    Live and let live does not apply to wasps in my space.

    Got no pads left for my mop thing *wails* well at least now I've used them all I can buy a proper mop and bucket, was gonna get one weeks ago but seemed silly when I had pads and spray cleaner left so now I can justify it, the floors really need cleaning though they're grotty. Hoovering done, gonna head upstairs now.

    Oooooh and I weighed myself last night and it seems I've lost another 4lbs, can't remember when from though as it's been at least 2 wks since I last weighed myself, I got a chuffy cause that's 20lbs I've lost since 23 January :j and I'm not even dieting as such - food/snack intake has dropped seeing as I'm not sitting round scoffing all day mind you.

    right, I'm off upstairs, laters x

Going to try and do all the things I missed off the list in the week this morning then have myself a pamper afternoon. House is a tip, I look a fright, nothing a few hours effort won't sort I hope.

    Emmb well done you

    Canthas just brought in either a very big mouse or a very small rat - I screamed and DS1 threw it out the front door for me.

    I really should make a start but little man is being so clingy, he is literally stuck to my leg everywhere i go, not moaning just clinging:rolleyes: .

    OH will be back home for about 2:30 so i want to get as much of list done as humanly possible. I am in the mood to do it, but, it just the little man wants me to sit on my butt. I think i may forego the living room and build the lads a tent then little man may play with them.:p
    You can touch the dust but please don't write in it !

    Would you like to speak to the man in charge, or the woman who knows whats happening?

    [rant]

    Am I selfish for being in a HUGE strop because OH not only didn't bring me breakfast in bed, but didn't even get me a CARD?! Last night he could have went to asda, but oh no, TV... I have only been reminding him for the past 4 weeks, written it on the calendar, pounded it into his brain but no, he can't even make the !!!!!!! effort. Just like he didn't make the effort at Mothers day. or valentines day. or my last bloomin birthday. :mad: or the one before that... in fact the last one he did make the effort for was a week before DS2 was born. He took me for a meal after my appointment with the consultant who told him to take me for a meal as the next day I was going to be admitted to day care every day till baby was bon or I was admitted full time. He only let me off that day as it was my birthday. Yep, huge strop here.

    [/rant]

    Must be the Aries-arsedness in me :rotfl:

    Floor hoovered and mopped, kids washed fed, dressed and playing with their art sets (£3 asda, bargain) OH away to work, MIL supposed to be arriving at 11am so is only an hour and 10 mins late. I need to go get dog food today, before 6pm, might just go now, via as many shops as I can find.

    mleh feel better after my rant.

    No Tia, i dont think its unreasonable to be grumpy because of OH's behaviour. I would be livid! And i wouldnt get him anything for his birthday either.
    Just checking in quickly as i need to go shower before i go to work.

    See you later alligators.
