Hi everyone just a quick catchup.

Its lovely having my brother and sister in law here. We went to see mum this morning. She knew who they were and was pleased to see them. My SIL is such an easy person to get on with. Brother is watching sport so SIL is reading and Im catching up on here.

lil_me Massive hugs to you and ditto what Soappie said. In your heart you will know what you need to do. You are a strong capable woman.

Johanne Hugs for you and hope you feel better soon.

x_raphael_xx Thinking of your mum and the dog.

Prettypennies :bdaycake: Happy Birthday!

AnWsMuM Hoping for warm weather for you.

G&B I like Albus.

tiami_d Congratulations :T

nicki Hope you feel better soon.

Take care everyone.

Dusty, I like the idea of using the tree base as a bench base...
Tia - well done on your getting offered a college place
AnW - good luck with the camping tonight! Are you going to light a little camping gas stove thingy and toast marshmallows?

Successful time (I think!) at the auction. Time will tell if it's truly successful. And it was fun! Mind you, I'm coughing and spluttering now - the place I go is a tiny little hall tucked away out of sight and is piled high with stuff - boxes here, boxes there etc. etc. and v. dusty and old.

Right, off to put more stuff up on ebay!

Thinking of this one? What do you lot think? It seems to have everything. DS2 LOVES garden swings! Of course it's a little more than the credit but then with £10 off, Quidco cashback might just be a bargain. Then again I could buy seperate what we need and get a parasol rather than having to try to put a gazebo up all the time...

Michelle great to hear yours has helped, was hoping it'd be sorted before your little one arrived for nappies etc.

Forgot to add sending good weather vibes for AnWsMum, sure W will love it at least with being in your own back garden you can use your own loo and shower :rotfl:

AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW:mad: :mad: :mad:
Flipping kids, DS1 went to the toilet and then DD went down the hall (i was putting more stuff on ebay), i could here them laughing when to see what was so funny and the wee ***** are wiping poo all over the toilet seat, DS1's legs covered and DD is swinging the toilet brush around in the air like a mad woman.:mad: :mad: :mad:
Their now both washed, changed and in bed. MONSTERS.

DS2 is just after saying 'mummy i've been good can i have a hobnob':rotfl:

tiamai_d

I want to stramgle my kids!! :mad:

DS2 being a little turd (we have had the poop escapades today twice Vanilla, I feel your pain) he is back to hiding somewhere and pulling poop out his nappy and smushing and painting with it. Tried him without nappies and he just wets or poops them and doesn't bother. Naked is a hit or a miss. Disgusting little brat! :mad:

DS1 throwing huge hissy fits screaming banging crying shouting etc if he looses on a computer game. The xbox has been torn out the room and he is now banned, for good! Although, he is throwing hissy fits at about everything today. He is now in his room and has been told NOT to come back out. Irritating little brat! :mad:

DS1 just came back down saying I'm sorry.. chased him back to the room! :mad:

*deep breath* Oh goody and DH isn't back tonight as he is away at a camp for the BB's! Yeah so dit, 6pm bed for those two tonight I will murder them.

*deep breath* I should go cook something that I want to calm down.... Mince and baby tatties I think, should be yummyscrummylishous.

Oh AND I hate that bursary form, it is so STUPID!!!! *jumps and down screaming ARGH ARGH ARGH!*

ETA, one of the side effects of my new Hay fever tabs is.... Agitation....

I can imagine I had stitches with my eldest both inside and outside they HURT! G&B I like Albus too *thumbs up* AnW'smum have a great time, sending nice weather vibes your way. Vanilla soz but that made me laugh Happy Birthday prettypennies :bdaycake: think that was all, bet I've missed someone *strokes chin*

Not much to report here really, washing on the line, kitchen done, bedroom done (ish) had a snooze but teenies big gob friend woke me up grrrr.....then I had the biggest urge to want to go shopping, I mean a really BIG urge, I even thought about what money I could use and then put back in lol so, text OH and he talked me out of it and offered, get this, and I quote - "If you don't go shopping I'll treat you tonight in other ways to make up for it" heh! heh! I can't wait :kisses2: ....that guy has changed sooooooo much in the last couple of months he's like a different fella :happyhear

Littley's at nanas till tomorrow and maybe tomorrow night too, apparentkly she's just won a fish at the fair so I have to put water in the tank, I'll have to find it first. Hoping to get teenie out of the house tonight too so I can be erm....erm.....noisy :rotfl: he WILL sleep out dammit! lol

Trace and shell hope you're both doing ok xx

((hugs)) Vanilla. Sometimes you wander what you've done to deserve them .

I'm glad mine have past the poo painting phase. Unfortunately I don't think they ever get past the peeing on the toilet seat phase though!

Flying progress is a bit slow. My sis just called in with a birthday card so I got a bit distracted.

I've managed to get another load of washing out and HHI done.

My Gee Gee has just won me £70 :j . Not bad for a free bet.

Going to wash up and put the covers back on my bed.

embb

Cool! that's great PP :T hope you're going to treat yourself to something nice.

*flicks through Laura Ashley catalogue* I have my sights on a £700 sideboard :eek: and a bureau, and a lamp, and a couple of cushions....best put it down eh? lol

DS1 throwing huge hissy fits screaming banging crying shouting etc if he looses on a computer game. The xbox has been torn out the room and he is now banned, for good! Although, he is throwing hissy fits at about everything today. He is now in his room and has been told NOT to come back out. Irritating little brat! :mad:

Tia that is my DS1 as well, he can't play a game at all without working himself up.

OK DS2 asked to use the potty, so he's sitting on it now. Hopefully this will be it this time.:j

Washing line full and WM and TD back on. Plan now is to sort the tax credits, thanks pigpen for the reminder.

embb

vanilla/tia my two boys were like that on the game consoles, right old temper the pair of them had, it's supposed to be fun! :rolleyes:

The tax credits thing, is it something everyone has to do ie: phone up for etc or do they send some sort of paperwork to fill in? Do I need to do it too? I'm new to the tax credits malarky.

Just defluffed/cleaned/wiped/hoovered the porch AKA the dryer room or when I'm feeling posh the utility lol, out of sheer boredom..... it was blue :eek: now it's all white and gleaming again, shoved the maiden in there too so that's out of the pc room now and it'll dry better cause it gets red hot in there with all the windows.....only thing is there's not enough room for me to load it in-situ so I'll have to drag it in and out....small price to pay I suppose.

What to do next..........ETA: I've just pulled off the instant double glazing off the pc room window, well, it DID have holes in it :rolleyes: and looked a mess, I can clean the window now yay!
