    :j Good morning:j

    I would like to join in again this week. After having loads of extra people here this weekend I need to do some serious tidying up.

    The sun is shining:j

    Do I need to sort out child tax credits? I haven't heard from them since last year some time. DS3 has decided to keep at college until the end of term so I don't need to make any changes and DS1 has gone back to uni today after being absent since December. DD is on a course today too and DH and DS2 are at work. To me that is quite a result as I am home alone. :j :j

    Just me, two dogs, two cats and seven hens.

    Good luck Jill, hope everything goes well
    bargainbird hope your little ones hand is ok
    poohbear enjoy the peace, sounds heavenly
    ashbart, I always look how much the extended warranty is, see how much a new one is and work it out that way. A 3 year warranty for my last one was only £50 less than a new one, so I just have money put away just incase instead of paying for nothing. However it can be sods law sometimes when you don't get it that something happens. Have a look at policies for appliance breakdown cover seperately, few places do them, might be able to get a few covered for the price you'd pay for one.

    Jus a quick dash in/out as DS2s appointment, then my me time :D I might be able to see past my hairHave a nice day everyone!
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    Morning all.

    Well thats it - DH is in work, DD & DS are in school and Sadie is in bed asleep - I am all alone :( Going to keep busy though and read some of the posts on here.

    I actually have quite a bit to do today - on the 15th we are having the attic insulated so it needs emptying. DH got the boxes down so I need to sort them, ebay or charity shop some ofthe stuff, repack and store the rest.

    List
    Boxes from Attic to sort
    Brush dog
    Look for some on-line vouchers for me and my friend for when we do our shopping
    Fly Lady the Kitchen
    Prepare tea
    General tidy up
    Ironing

    I think thats enough to be getting on with :)

    Hope everyone is ok - huggles and love to those that need it today.

    Having a very productive day so far, may do some baking later. Think my TD may be on the blink:mad: Have had the same stuff in it for about 3 hours and it is slowly getting drier, but it doesnt seem to be getting very hot:confused: Have had so many problems with this blinking machine.

    Barginbird - husg for your DD, hope hers hands ok
    Sharon - how awful for you all, hopefully something will get done about the little cow now
    Lil me - hope you enjoy your you time - no one deserves it more!

    Welcome to all newbies and returners

    DS is really poorly today, his face is all swollen and one sides bright red - could be slapped cheek as its doing the rounds here but probably just a 'virus'. Taking him to Doctors later to put my mind at rest. So minimal flying today and no toddlers.

    So been up and down all night, just having a cuppa and a quiet minute while hes napping.

    Have managed to get WM on, tidied round everywhere and clean my trainers as I wore them for laying the patio. Also done a quick meal plan and list if I get chance to pop shopping later.

    Another hot day here, must go and get DS some new sunscreen. Have a good day all xx
    Lightbulb moment 15th Feb 2007:doh: Now Debt Free and plan on it staying that way!

    Baby on board!:D

    A quick visit and :wave: my internet connection is playing up and just goes off when it feels like it, it has been like that for the last few days :confused:

    It is a lovely day here today. Never did any flying yesterday, spent the day at Edinburgh zoo, I think the whole of Scotland had the same idea, the queues were massive and the carpark full, mayhem all around, but in the end fun was had by all.

    Would love to catch up on all your news, love reading about your lifes but if I do that now, I will just do no flying at all and am quite busy today so :grouphug: for everyone and will try and read the posts later, if my internet connection lets me that is!

    First:

    hang washing out, reload machine
    unload dishwasher
    tidy and wipe kitchen, will try and do most of the list
    make lunches for DDs
    tidy living room
    post 2 parcels

    that will have to do for the rest of the morning

    Note to self: I have to cut the grass today, I can see it growing...
