LG (((hugs))) hope you manage to get some sleep. But as pigpen says, he wasn't alone and not in pain.

going over to see my mummy in an hour, I should really tidy the house and myself and the kids up first. I can't be arsed.

I sewed! My fave jeans had a rip in the inner thingh area and I sewed it up. It will do for another couple washes I guess. I'm no good at sewing, I got cramp after that and one half of a leg hemming DH wprk trousers. May borrow my mums sewing machine. I fancy a handbag made out of a cute pair of DS2's old jeans.

Back from Asda & Aldi - £5 for a 10.5tog single duvet & pillow I'm happy and I'm sure DD will be too :rotfl:Spent another £5 on fruit & salad stuff including buying 3 loaves of reduced SP Brown bread which I've just stood and seperated into clingfilmed piles of 8 slices and slung in the freezer :D Saving 26p per loaf :T:money: Then I popped into Aldi to see what the offers on the fruit & veg was in there and ended up coming out with £10 worth of fruit and veg :rotfl: Although that includes 3 bags of frozen mixed fruit, a pineapple, rhubarb, kiwis, honeydew melon, plums and grapes I have consumed so much junk food that I've put weight back on SOOOOO this week its a concerted effort to increase fruit & veg intake and drop the chips and junk food We'll have to see how it goes though.

Right, still trying to juggle washing here, I think I might risk putting some of the bedding out on the line. But the forcast is showers ALL day :rolleyes: Also need to do another batch of dishes.

Afternoon everyone and belated Happy Birthdays, so many in the space of a week or so.

Johanne i'm very sorry to here of your loss and i hope today isn't to diffecult.

Pigpen that nail looked so sore and congrats on the job.

Lg big hugs.

Went shopping yesterday with DD and my sister, bit of a girls day out and came home with a boot full (mostly sisters) but did manage to clear and clean the boys room and hubby had the dishes all stacked up for me coming home (didn't think about washing them:rotfl: ).

DS1's lip is healing well and he'll be back to school monday:j but DS2 how has a rash all over the back of the knees which looks the same as DS1's so need to make an appointment tomorrow for the doctors and see if it's excema(sp) as well .

Today have done 3 loads of washing, cleared DD's room and lit the fire. Next will be dinner and more washing (does it ever end:rotfl: ).

Afternoon all drown rat here.

Got absolutely soaked in 'heavy showers of hail at football. OH got home before the rain so at least he got the washing in.

Soappie you made me smile with the pin thing - you come across as far to sensible to take part in such things.

My guess - in the cutlery draw

Right need to see if I can find some where for another lot of washing to dry and put all the muddy wet stuff in the machine.

Hoover upstairs and make DS3 bed.

LG, thnking of you, not something that is nice to witness ever, happy birthday to your OH and hope you managed to get some sleep x

Johanne, never nice dealing with that sort of thing, please take things easy

Well I've been lazy so far, took me ages to get myself pulled round and woken up after a bad nights sleep then DP up early rattling around, putting his mates cars on the drive etc etc before he went away didn't help. Boys are driving me nuts getting loads of toys out in one room, then more in another etc so I got a little annoyed and they've been told the bedroom, living room and landing (hence I got annoyed as I slipped on the stairs) needs clearing of toy before they even consider emptying more out in the conservatory!! I know it's nice that they're just playing considering they've been stuck inside loads because of the weather but I'd rather they didn't demolish ever room...........

Right, enough moaning, where is my list??!!

First stone lost:j :j :j Now I only have three stones to go!!! What is the lowest calorie alcoholic drink anyone?? I have rose wine here and I know that is not the best to drink when trying to lose some weight.

lil_me

poohbear WELL DONE!! I wish I only had 3 left to go :rotfl: most of the 'diets' go for spirits with a sugar free/low cal/diet mixer. I don't drink often so don't take much notice.

Dustykitten

Pooh bear - well done you. I think Champagne is the lowest cal alcoholic drink hence why stars/supermodels drink it.

Sugar shakes here. I've done our room and DS2 room. DS3 room next. Downstairs is trashed again so hope I can get the upstairs finished and then this week do one downstairs room a day plus sort all my stuff for the NCT sale on Saturday. OH reminded me that he is overseas from Wednesday until next Monday so I have the joy of all next week's footie on my own.

Hi all

Still getting back to normal after the visitors! Another long lie in coz DH not home. He sets his alarm on weekends, but doesn't get up when it goes off, so I wake up and then can't get back to sleep!:mad: Anyway, DS and I both had a nice long lie today, which we needed.

Just got an Ab Chair on Freecycle, very good condition, so hopefully there'll be a slimmer me soon!

I've managed my dailies, and hope to be flying high next week. Just off to do some more wallpaper stripping.
