    raph sorry :rotfl: they even named her accordingly, she's called India, meaning 'Body of Water'...:rotfl: one of those stories which will be told forever I think, I've already said it'll be in her father's wedding speech that her entry to the world was a wet one.

    Thanks pigpen, because if you don't add it mine will stay a mess :o I had wondered with the eczema thing as I have scratched all evening, my wrists especially are going crazy and the backs of my legs, oh and my chin has more scales than my lizard! With the cat thing, I think there are more ASD animals than people care to admit my lizard can not cope with any changes at all he goes off on one even with being cleaned out, Sonic bounces everything off his cage when he's cleaned out, youngest dog hates change and is VERY noise sensitive, he's sat crying on my knee (all 25kg of him) because the washer is on.

    Boys in bed, grapes gone with their help. Will wait until they are asleep before I put the popcorn in or they'll hear it.
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    Just been sorting out DS1 manky feets - his massive V is getting no better - I can't find my teatree oil to try and he has hideous toenails - I keep hacking chunks off hoping they will improve.

    Feel really knackered and I've not done heaps, bit of gardening and a trip to Mr T for a few bits.

    Three beds changed so only one to do tomorrow. Need to find my list from the start of the week to see if I have acheived anything at all.

    Hiya
    I've not had time to read the thread yet so hugs to everyone who needs them. Our 11th wedding anniversary today....scary. Spent the morning with DS in A&E with a suspected fractured ankle ....he's just sprained it and pulled his achilles tendon little monster!!! Then we spent the afternoon at the allotment with DS lying on a recliner bought from home. Boy did he milk it!!!

    So, no flying but DH cooked a lovely meal tonight. Shattered after being woken at 7am to be told his ankle still hurt so i'll catch up soon.

    Hugs again xx

    Oh and was proud of DD today, when she was in town she went to the toilets and came out and told me someone had left a bag in the loo, we went back as she was worried about it and it was a handbag type bag with a panasonic camcorder and tapes etc in. There was noone in the attendants room so she asked if we could hand it in bless her, so off we trecked to the police station. They were really pleased with her and have said if its not claimed in a month its hers. :A Hope she gets to keep it for her honesty.

    Have updated all my spends now so better go put it all away now then bed.

    Night all

    I only seem to find time to post in the evening at the moment - and there's so much going on here during the day!

    Another busy day, dashed downtown early to shuffle some money around. For some reason I only had £20 tax deducted from last week's pay. Moved it into savings account just in case they want some more back. Then braved the crowds in the supermarket, panic buying the entire contents of Sainsbury's as it's a bank holiday weekend. After lunch, I escaped to the allotment, as it was too nice to spend the whole day shopping. I then went into town again late afternoon, to buy some bits for DD's birthday, and cards and paper for Dad's birthday as well. All shopped out...

    Off to my sister's for the day, and will also go and see Mum in the afternoon. I don't have any plans for Monday, but DD needs to learn her German for another oral exam, so that will take up quite a time. Nice to do some more gardening if the weather stays nice.

    lil_me - you deserve to be happy as well. Hugs. I think everyone else has put it so much better than I could.

    prettypennies - Happy Birthday!

    vanilla - another dentist phobic here - I hope that you are feeling better very soon.

    dusty - I'd have that mahonia out.
    It is never too late to become what you were always intended to be
  • Happy Anniversary to Mubath & Mudbath's DH and capitals are back!! Good to see (I hope) that your hand is causing you less grief!

    After a bad start it has been a productive day here. Most of the afternoon was spent out in the garden. DH borrowed a scarifier... The brown wheelie bin and 11 bags were filled just with moss :eek: Then he gave it another trim :rotfl:

    My car is already half full of assorted junk (I had a bit of a flinging frenzy this morning!) The coup was closed this afternoon after swimming so will need to do an early run tomorrow :rolleyes:

    Just finished a HHI so I am going to give the kitchen and bathroom a quick mop, S&S and then clear the stairs. Then tip myself into bed.

    wtg Tia :T

    hugs and good nights to all...

    Happy Anniversary Mr and Mrs Mudbath :D

    Kaz, well done to your DD, I remember, maybe about her age think I was 9 finding a purse in a shopping centre which I handed in, I never heard if it was claimed or not but I do hope it was.

    Chasingbutterflies someone mentioned a scarifier to me when I was saying about our moss problem, I must remember to have a look and see what on earth it is.

    Catching up with last weeks Apprentice that I missed.

    DW been filled, washer filled (will put on first thing tomorrow) and that's about all....lazy evening.
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:
