Well the HHI challenge turned into about 2 hours but its all done I've done all the washing, only cleaning cloths (not yet a full load) and clothes taken off today My livingroom is looking good as well now all the washing is out the way, and I even foound time to restuff DD's "magic teddy" (my teddybear from when I was 8 that she sleeps with everynight usually and takes away with her and alsorts!) so she's glad as I've been meaning to do it since last week Just need to do the carrierbag of mending I have to do, although I do need to find a missing button first :rolleyes:

I also spent an HOUR in the garden, not just 15minutes - its weeded, the blooming bluebells have been removed :mad: , I've dug up the parsnips that were left in from last year (and binned them...wireworm ridden is an understatement :eek: Hence no more growing own veg!), tided up my daffodil leaves and put the new edging around the beds. Then I swept the whole yard while DD was on the phone to ex! Looks great out there, and will look even better once I've got my bulbs & seeds in and they start to grow :rotfl:

My bedroom looks good, and I changed the bedding yesterday Looks like a reasonably easy day again, BUT I've got a doll's house to assemble tomorrow - I've only been promising to do it since I decorated DD's room Oh and I really should overhaul DD's wardrobe so I can clear out some of the cupboard in her room to put some bits from my room into storage, and put her corkboard up...okay maybe not such an easy day :rolleyes: LOL.

:wave:

prettypennies

uh oh. The biscuits turned out.....great.

I have tasted one, but some of the others are slightly different sizes, so I may have [strike]scoff[/strike] test them too. :rolleyes:

I was thinking of taking some in for the ladies on the course tomorrow. But they may not last that long.

Going to check the twins have gone to sleep and s&s the bathroom.

From today I am eating healthily. I need to sort myself out. So, breakfast was forced down (two pieces of toast) and i've just had a snack of a banana and a pear. I do not need chocolate. I love fruit and things that are healthy for me...honest!

ha me too. I've decided that I don't eat bread, cake, biscuits,sweets, chocolate, crisps or cheese. :eek:
I have a bit of a floodgate issue LOLas in they are dangerous once open. Eat one bit of bread half the loaf is gone , eat one bisuit the entire pack vanishes. And as for chocolate, dont get me started :rotfl:

o its fruit and yoghurt for me mmmmmmmmmmmm

Have been v good today, my friend this afternoon plnked a tin of savoury cheese stick things and hummous, well I would have eaten the whole tine but I just said ohhhh no dont let me near them and handed them back without even a crumb

Level 1
Check fire alarms are working

Did that today. The toast got a bit well done :rotfl::rotfl:

Why is my 3 year old riding around the house on her tricycle at this time of night? Honestly, you'd think I was on my own here. I went out to collect DD1 from youth club and find DH fast asleep in bed and he hasn't even bothered to get the LO into bed :mad::mad: Right, off to sort her out and take something for my headache. I need a neck massage - that's what's causing the headache.

Nighty night everyone.

:eek::eek: Can't say I blame him :rotfl:

No it sounds pretty gruesome. But he has been getting an abcess on and off for the last 15 years in the same place. When he was 19, he slipped on some pee pee in a nightclub and knocked his two front teeth out on the urinal :eek: .

When his dentist at the time fitted screw in teeth, he didn't clear out all the debris properly. So he has had problems ever since.

The abcesses are getting more frequent now though, so he has finally decided to get the job done properly. He is lucky to have found a really great dentist recently and I think it has given him the confidence to get things sorted. Plus he is sick of having to take antibiotics every six months.

SSL - I am so pleased for you, it looks lovely. I hope all goes well selling yours now. Best of luck. I hope things are moving a lot more slowly here - the slower, the better, then DS's GF's family won't be able to move very quickly! They've definitely commandeered her DLA. She got higher rate mobility and medium rate care, which makes me laugh, because her mother doesn't do any personal care for her, prep meals etc She's always burning her self or spilling things because her hands are not string enough! :mad:

Tia - I hope yours goes well, too

Johanne - maybe bump won't wait till Friday, but at least you won't be waiting till Monday

Pigpen - Glad the appointment gave you more info, hope you get all the support he needs and good luck with the DLA. Those forms are a minefield.

MOJT - I'll be thinking of you next Friday

Many thanks for all the birthday wishes (I refused to wear a 50 badge though). I've been at a meeting with my line manager and a colleague all day, but we did go out for a nice lunch. My colleague drove and I'm not the world's greatest passenger, so didn't feel very well either way, especially as she smokes when she's driving (I'm asthmatic), but I can forgive her anything. She bought me a lovely box of choccies and a £30 M & S Voucher!!!

Would anyone like a piece of :bdaycake: and maybe a :coffee::coffee::coffee::coffee::coffee::coffee:
