    Pigpen - why did you paint the loo? xx

    well it was such a chore keeping a white loo clean I decided to gloss it !!!!!!£ brown so you couldn't see the slicks..

    Next I am going to paint the children.. multi coloured so you can't see the mud and juice and paint stains they gather..

    Debt-free and Proud!
    Have fallen off the flying band wagon big time this week (kids off school), and today I be mainly ironing (have 6 baskets:eek: , and I mean BIG baskets). So I snuck on here whilst I eat my lunch to post my progress. I put on Nanny McPhee and ironed and put away through the whole film and now have 4 and a bit baskets left:rolleyes: ). God I hate ironing. Am giving myself to 15.00 to eat my lunch and then back to it, don't know which DVD to put on this time though.

    Wish me luck and I will update, later. Oh, pigpen, when the ironing is done I can start on this weeks flying :rotfl: .

    I am Knackered!!!!! Just spent today catching up on my lists, didnt get anything done monday and tuesday because DS2 was poorly and wouldn't let me alone!!! He woke up 'all better' today so decided to do a major list o my own. Have tidied and hoovered through the entire flat (except my bedroom), and have had a major clear out in DS's room. Lots of old toys and clothes to ebay.

    So now i am going to sit down and doing nothing for the rest of the day. Well, until kids go to bed anyway, then gonna sort a mealplan and shopping list or next week (shopping tomorrow), and make spag bol for tea for me and OH.

    Johanne hope baby comes soon

    (((hugs))) or everyone who needs them.

    Blessings

    I can't even begin to try to catch up yet :rotfl: I've read a little and given up for now. However was suprised that house prices are similar here to Newport....in fact VERY close indeed for similar properties. I just wanted to say IT'S FINISHED! There is a couple of bits I think/know I have got wrong but have tried my best and now sealed my envelope so can't even try to add to it, enough is enough, if I fluff it I will just have to try double hard next time! Just waiting for DP to finish his so we can drive through to Spennymoor and hand it in (well push it through the letter box)

    Hopefully catch up with you all later after I have given the boys some attention which I am sure they will be missing over the last few days (oh and strip my bed because I have forgot!)
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    I don't know whether to be annoyed or please... none of those skirts fit me :eek: They're all too BIG :D:j:j They can go back on ebay when I next list. I guess I need to accept that I'm no longer an 18/20/22 but more like a 18 :D Especially in Debenhams stuff sooooo I think I might have a little looksie tonight on ebay and see if I can find any more stuff ...already spotted a nice pair of boots ;)

    Tea in the oven - steak & kidney pie (one of those pies in a tin on offer in Asda), with salad potatoes (left overs in the fridge still ... and if not useable then tinned new pots) and veg, followed by fruit salad ;) DD is currently working her way through a puzzle pad so I have turned the TV off :T Off to put more washing out :wave:

    Lol - we wouldn't have you any other way ...... or would we!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Actually, i've done a pigpen today...nothing! Apart from the 10 mile sponsored walk which I though was going to be 10k. I made the mistake of having a glass of wine with my lunch when we finished and i'm knackered. I just can't drink anymore.

    I have phoned the jobcentre in reply to a letter they sent me about the benefits i'm receiving - i'm not receiving any! Also made a call about £100 that i'm owed....guess what...no managers available to speak to me. It's been due since February so i'm going to take it further now.

    First client tomorrow and lots of flying xx
