Just had a quick rain shower so brought the cushions in off my conservatory furniture but had to leave everything else had to be left outside. Stopped now though so hopefully everything will dry out again!

We've got the same weather here Soappie, had a few spots of rain a little while ago but didn't come to anything. You would think last night's storm would have really cleared the air but apparently not.

It is glorious here again.. and I am sitting inside with my solar dermatitis and my apple allergy.. my hayfever and my bloodshot eyes... I look a right old sight!!

DS1 at work (I LIKE saying that)

Why are people having their houses repossessed for a few extra quid.. I pay £50 over my compulsory payment anyway.. why did they take on so much kniwing it would be a struggle if interest went up??.. £30 increase and still lose your home is ludicrous!! .. that isn't even 1 night out a week.. surely they can find that?! Speaking as someone who did have a house repossessed 11 years ago!!..

Oh pigpen what a lovely sight that sounds like, I'm not keen on the summer either ((big hugs))

I've just phoned Southern Electric and asked for a bill :rotfl: the bloke said 'people aren't usually so keen to have a bill' but I want to get it and see how much extra I need to pay off, I think the DD is way too low.

Waiting for an item to be picked up (freecycle) then think I will take the boys with me to the pet shop and farm shop, save me looking at DP slobbing on the sofa all day again (yes he helped yesterday and I am grateful before anyone thinks I am mean, I just get bored looking at him in the same place all day)

Hi Ladies,

I've got a bit of catching up to do today cos I got lost along the way this week:o Have managed to keep kichen looking sparkly this week but omg my dining room is so cluttered it really bugs me! Plus my room is a tip again cos everything without a home seems to go in there!

I've got a plasterer coming on19th to skim dd's room so I need to start sorting that out too, am undecided whether to get the girls bunkbeds as they keep asking for them. What do other people think of them? My dd's are 5 and 3?

vanilla

Daisydoll my boys are 4 and 3 and they've been in bunkbeds now a year, they love them.

Raining here now had to make a mad dash for the washing, got totally soaked. Hobnobs made and a full tray is gone already:rotfl: may need to make more.

Right next is mop kitchen floor and sort the hall. WM on it's third load today about another 4 to go and thats not including the bedding which needs done today. Need to go to tesco's to at some point but i'll wait until the footballs over.
