    Morning all.

    Thank you for your kind comments about my kitchen and the work I've been doing there. It's really helped me crack on with it. That rash I had the other day which I thought was from brushing up against a cactus has spread a little so I think it's more like an allergy to the paint! I shall have to find some specialist cream.

    Johanne - hope you're alright this morning after the scare in the car.

    Well, I'm bathed and just need to do my sandwiches then it's head up the road to the office. :cool: ORF ops - DS has been fiddling with the router so Buster has a new address - expect a PM in a mo:cool:
    I am the leading lady in the movie of my life

    Morning all. Hope everyone is well ((hugs)) to those who aren't

    I'm on a course for the next two days, so no work..yeah!

    First line of washing out and breakfast done.
    Mum and Dad home from 3 weeks in Spain today. The twins are really looking forward to seeing them.
    I'm not sure what my mum will make of their new ultra short hairdos (post delousing a week ago!!)
    Planning to get a bit of flying done before I take DSs to school. Better leave time to put the warpaint on though.
    Twins, twice the laughs, twice the fun, twice the mess!:j:j

    Morning all

    Will be out most of the morning and then again this afternoon so won't have much time for flying today.

    Also need to go to Mr T's for some stuff, I have spent a MASSIVE amount on food this month - HOW???? I'm really cross about it, I know a lot has gone on booze which is a big expense but I'm meal planning and then still having to nip in somewhere for this and that. DH has restarted his diet so need to go and salad type stuff and a card my dad wants. Plus some diesel as I'm nearly on empty and there's talk of shortages again, more bl00dy money going out, takes at least £80 to fill up now instead of managing on £50. This week I've got to pay the credit card, balance on our Centre Parcs holiday, Next bill, electric bill and the balance for our Norfolk weeks holiday !!!!!!.

    Just feel like moneys just disappearing at the min - aaarrrrrhhhhh! Sorry rant over

    Should start getting ready to go to toddlers but really can't be bothered this morning, bad mummy.

    Have a good day everyone xx

    SSL and Jill - when I was a nanny, we (parents as well) all called the daughter Bootface or Lavatory Lil. She thought it was hilarious. She used to look for the loo as soon as we went anywhere. :rotfl:Poor girl (30 something now!) is nursing a broken finger and elbow after a cycling accident - the wonders of Facebook.

    Gunsandbanjos - hugs to you and I hope you feel better soon.

    Washing machine, tumble dryer on. Coffee pot ready. Dogs, cats and fish fed. SS's bathroom, shower room, kitchen. Don't have time to walk dogs before F collects me to go to Frome, so going up to the garden and do 5GC at the same time before I change for work.

    PIGPEN - DON'T FORGET THE APPOINTMENT!!!

    Right, it's a nursery day, so just sorting list and having a sneaky peak while eating breakie, and then must get on, cos it may be the last child free day i get. Trying to strike a balance between achieving something, and exhausting myself.
