Oh good just checked tommorows list an it's the kitchen...and I only did that saturday so it won't take me long:D am currently defrosting freezer though so will clean that and the fridge tommorow as they both need doing.

Been out most of today to a local fun day which was ok but not free as advertised:mad: so ended up spending money when I didn't think i would need to, am trying to do a non spend week this week so not a good start! Will have to start from now lol!:o

Dusty the bench looks great.

Just back from the dentist and mouth froze, the filling was too high so wasn't sitting right and there is a crack in my new filling so thats why it's so sore.
Right i'm away to bed.

Vanilla, hugs hun I hope you are in less pain tomorrow

Thanks for all the comments re the bench and DSs Xraph you are right there is a chance it will attempt to reshoot but I plan to just cut the shoot off as they appear, hopefully screwing the bench top on will discourage it.

Dusty, great bench (sure there is something you can get to stop it growing but I think an 'alive' bench is much more funky!) what lovely boys aswell, did you nail them to the bench to get them to sit still together? Would have taken that just with my 2,Christmas card photos took 80 something shots to get 2 decent ones!
Tashja welcome back, hope we can all help things seem a little less scary
Liz & tiptoes welcome
bargainbird hope your DD is ok
nicky, stef welcome back too
tiamai ((hugs)) I know what it's like wanting to do 'something nice' and noone else does
Michelle, pleased to hear you've been taking things more easily today.
Moam and Davgirl thank you for your PMs, I've definately got my heart set on it now, I think it'll be next year (back end of) when we go as I want it to be special, I really want to have the extra to take the boys to Discovery Cove, that'll be so much a dream come true for them especially DS1 who sleeps with sealife encyclopaedias, it's going to be the only time we can take them I've been saving for ages and I want it to be THE holiday of a lifetime. Been told we can get fastrack passes for Disney with the boys having special needs which is great.
johanne it may be boring and driving you mad but DO AS YOU ARE TOLD!!! You need to rest however gaga it's drives you, or you'll be worse for longer. It'll fly over.
vanilla and hollyh ((hugs))

I SPENT 4 EFFING HOURS doing the garden (yes I did mean to shout that bit) and I ache everywhere. I've been offered to lend a scarifier thingamy Chasingbutterflies mentioned but, I don't think we'd have any garden left if the moss all goes......just seen someones garden who's used one and it looks terrible at the mo, decisions.... Oh and after an autumn of raking leaves I find out my Dad has a garden vac I could have used, typical. Oh but he also has a bush chopperer thingy, electric one, considering borrowing it to tidy the garden a bit (we have loads of huge bushes and trees) but someone said only cut them back when they aren't growing in autumn....I have no idea.

I remembered during this DS2 has an appointment at 10am with the orthoptist and I have booked my hairdressers appointment for 11.30am ARGH so he'd better behave himself and do the tests so we're out on time. At least I don't have to walk him to school in the morning will send DS1 off with his taxi then dash in the shower/wash my hair before we go for his appointment, hoping DP will take the dogs out if not I will have to fit it in somewhere. I did however pop over to see my friend this evening and little Matthew who was having a hissy fit when I got there, soon had him giggling, poor little mite is teething soooo badly bless him. Took DPs brother home who's actually not well I don't think, he didn't drink or eat much and was shivering/sweating....fingers crossed the kids don't get it.

Right, I've put the bins out inc all the recycling, dogs have been out, uniforms out, packups made, got to put DS1s school fund money in his bag then bed time I think

Goodnight everyone xxx

Have skim read thread today, lovely yo catch up, have really missed you lot. Nothing much happened with us, just never seemed to get back into stuff after the hols and have been trying to get my head round the fact that I START BACK TO WORK TOMORROW (well, today) after 2 months annual leave and 9 months maternity leave. Thats meant to be a putrid greeen sicky colour as I am not looking forward to it. Am putting off going to bed cs I dont want to go to sleep as when I wake up I have to get the kids up to school and hand over LO to the childminder
Yes yes I know she'll be fine etc etc I've done it before I know they survive I know its a nice break etc etc my CM is my friend anyway but
1) I will miss LO desperately
2) I am sick with jealousy that someone else gets to have fun wth MY baby
3) i will be handing over a disgudting amount of my salary to my friend, every time she buys a new pair of shoes or goes on holiday I'm going to think "I paid for that". :mad:

Anyway its also DH birthday tomorrow (well, today) so I am supposed to be the happy jolly birthday fairy tomorrow too. Hurrah. Better get some kip. Wish me luck
Night

Morning all

Woke up with the lark this morning - tried to get back to sleep and failed. Hey ho.
Jill - best of luck with going back to work today - I know how you feel. When my children were little and there was just my salary, all my wage for July and August went on childminding through the summer hols...

Dusty, I agree with Lil-me - a 'living' bench would be really cool. I'd let any side shoots be until they grow too long and then just cut them back.

BargainB - hope your daughter's hand is feeling better today
Vanilla - ditto with the teeth.

:cool: ORF ops - Buster's awake and watching :cool:

This is my task list for today:

• Work
• timesheet
• invoice
• post ebay packages
• hairdresser at 6pm (does home visits)
• pay accountant
• do some of the kitchen list
