I'm tired. Really really tired.

One of the cars that gets left next door, has an alarm that goes off every 3 mins for 45 seconds. :mad: This had been happening since about 7pm!!

Police came out at 12.45am and had a look, but they couln't do anything. They did leave police tape round it and a yellow sticker on the front.... Hey I wonder if it has been towed away? I eventually passed out and when I got up, it was gone. I had to get up at 6.30amwith DS2 (the poop smearer)

Don't know if it's her car or one of her daughters or friends, but there was nobody in when I went round. I'm waiting till she comes back and going to make her day as crappy as mine!

Sorted out my freezer and made a list of what's in there - going to do my cupboards now so I can do a shopping list and only try to buy things that I need! Might even do a meal plan too!

:mad: Yep raining here now too on and off .. gonna risk leaving the washing out though, I'm and optomist .

And on the bright side, at least I won't have to water the veggies.

Going to have a drive out and stock up on a few bits and bobs. Promise to fly when I get home.

Just went to get some water from the water butt and it is empty. It must have a leak - gutted I am - it was full 2 weeks ago! I need to see if OH can repair it (oak barrel we have had 12+ year) as a new one is mega buck.

Have dug over remaining bit of veg patch and after lunch am planting out some bits in there.

Kids all back and really grumpy - quite humid here so that could be why.

lil_me

prettypennies, couldn't agree with you more about being older and wiser! Pleased you had a good time. Oh and with you on the grass inside!!! Fingers crossed it stays nice where you are.
tia I hate car alarms going off all the time, when DP goes away his friends leave their cars here and I am always worried about alarms going off, must start getting them to leave their keys just incase.
juliejim I think Iffits are Iffits in the freezer/fridge. We have wozzins which is wozzin the fridge/freezer...
Michelle I love new pillows, if I could afford it and it wouldn't be so nasty on landfill I'd have new ones every week I tend when I buy new to add them one at a time.
zarazara great news, hope you manage to declutter soon

Rain here today unfortunately, wishing I'd finished the lawn yesterday now, oh well never mind at least the front was finished and where DS2 plays with his football was done. Got a washer load in which will no doubt need to go on the airers. Place is a bit of a tip mess wise, just piles of things everywhere, which I will start tackling in a bit. I've put some sausages in the oven with the fan on because I forgot to get them out last night, toad in the hole for a cheap Sunday dinner today. I also forgot to check what veg we have so will hunt through in a mo, sure there wi'll be odds and sods in the freezer if the fresh stuff has gone nasty. Got some prawns out for lunch, was going to wait until DP got up to do those but my tummy is rumbling and he's still snoring. His Mother tried to ring him at 9am today, she knows he works nights and always phones early on a morning, such an ignorant witch she is.

Ok todays list

Remove piles of stuff from living room
Get DSs to do their rooms (may aswell while it's raining)
DW on when full, empty as soon as it's finished
Emails/Freecycle check/Online banking (Forgot was bank hol so maybe payment gone in early)
Make lunch for me and the boys
Make dinner
Make hobnobs and other treats
Clear dining table
Vacuuum through downstairs
Shower when DP gets up
S&S bathroom
Tidy kitchen (because I am a messy cook) and wipe over
Tidy some of the conservatory
Take dry laundry off airers & put washer load on airers
Tidy shoes/coats etc in hall - think I'll brave putting hats/mitts away for the summer too, then caps/sunglasses can go in the basket
OU books - sort through parcels which have arrived for the next assignments

Hello :wave:

Thanks for the good weather vibes W had a great time in 'his' tent lol. Not sure he will let my friend have it back! He has stayed out there all morning even having brekkie and lunch in it. I didn't get a lot of sleep because it as too light out there, only had a foam thingy under me which was not thick enough then I remembered W has one of those ready beds so I found that out at 2am :rotfl: blew it up and threw him onto that so I could have the foldaway mattress. Then at about 3.30 the brids started their morning chorus and at 5am W sat up with a cheery 'Good Morning mummy' and proceeded to munch his way through his box of goodies!!! We both managed to drop back off until about 9am. So all in all a good night, he loved it. We fetch A from camp at 4pm so think if she wants to they can both sleep out there again tonight

Huge HUGS to lil_me would you like my large paper bag to put your OH in and shake him up??? Seriously I hope you resolve it soon as the stress is not good for any of you.

I am almost up to date with you all now! Read that much I can't remember what else to say to whom (as usual!) so hugs all round

[STRIKE]Moorning all [/STRIKE]- oops afternoon everyone hope all ok and feeling good, there were some late peeps on here last night.

soappie - weather is like yours here today, altho when I first threw the window open at 6ish it was blue skies.

Vanilla - well done on getting DS to go on potty

Dusty - the meal plan I used to do weekly but now find it easier to do the whole month and it saves so much time than before when I'd spend the best part of an hour in from work wondering what to have and doing a 1/2 hour throw together, and I get to use up the older stuff from the freezer.

Juliejim - iffits are indeed as lilme said and are leftovers that are in the fridge or freezer. I usually plan them in when its just me and DD home and OH takes them to work. If I dont plan them in we never eat them. I'll post last months list as well if if gives someone inspiration.

So far had a bit of a lie in until OH brought me a cuppa tea in bed. Had a nice lazy breakfast then cleared the carp off the kitchen tops where I'd left all last nights tea stuff (slaps wrist and makes promise to self not to do again).
Long soak in the bath trying to get rid of headache I've had since Wednesday but its not working, and neither are the pain killers. Need to rid of the stress but I love him really and need him to pay the bills :rotfl: , oh and I have fake tanned the legs so I can get some skirts out.
Have also managed to round up all the weeks washing so next job is to sort it all into loads for machine so that ANYONE can just bung one in - yeah right, like thats gonna happen. Then I think it'll be start at the middle level and back of the house (OH gone to bed upstairs) and just work my way through making it presentable and see how far I get. Just remembered need to clean up the dog pee from spare room little s o d.

Right will post other meal plan separately to add another post for those who want one.

Catch ya later
