    Morning, We finally finished DD patio at 7.45pm. The table and chairs were set up and large pots planted up. I even managed to paint the render on the rear of the bungalow and the garage. Feeling quite smug.:D Looking forward to doing some batch baking as I have missed the OS domesticity. Sheets in wm stuff in bm, shoping list made. I have to get petrol so will maybe take a flask and tent !! :eek:
    Hope you all have a good weekend.

    Good Morning All

    Happy Anniversary Mr & Mrs Shez, have a lovely day!

    Didn't sleep too well last night, OH disturbed me with his tapping on the laptop till early hours! (it was gone 3am when he came to bed)Then DD got into bed with me at 4.10am, and since then Ive just napped.

    Didnt make it into town yesterday after work. So must do that this morning. Got the bills & rent to pay, then my hair is booked in for 11.45, be nice to see my hairdresser again after her return from maternity leave. The only thing is, she's returned too soon (IMO) the baby is only 4 weeks old. And she had a ceserean (sp) :eek:

    I called my Dad yesterday, no answer, so left a message asking if he wants to meet up, as of yet, no response. lets see how long it takes for him to reply!!! I think I may end up cutting my losses here, and moving on in life without him in it.

    Anyway, got bedding to change later, housework & shopping to get done.
    Kids are of to Skegness with their dad for the wk end!

    Have a good wk end
    Love Emma xxx

  • morning all :) Dont tell me i've made it onto the first page??? I NEVER do that lol :j

    Happy Anniversary Mr and Mrs Shez :)

    Many congrats to Johanne on the new bubba, makes me really want mine here now! Looking forward to seeing a piccy :)

    (((hugs))) to anyone who needs them today

    Not up to much today, OH is working at the house then off to footy. He's bringing his mates back over here with him and they're all going to the local pub and curry house tonight, then his mates will get the last train back. Think i might see if sis wants to come round and get a takeaway, haven't had one in ages so it'll be a nice treat not having to cook :)

    Looks fine at the moment (touch wood!)

    Natzini - what's the WiiFit like - I want to get one?? Need to lose about 5 stone....... Can you do that in a month???

    I've not tried it yet as I was soooo pooped from my training course (and the shopping afterwards) but OH said it is ace, he had to play it as soon as it arrived! I really hope it helps-I suffer from Fibromyalgia and work full time, so by the time I get to an exercise class or to the swimming pool, I'm ready to fall asleep! I need to do graded exercise to aid my condition and you can do that with WiiFit, so I'm (and my Dr) hoping that it's going to do that.
