    afternoon everyone.

    Still around. Though i had over an hour of contractions yesterday and thought i was in there, and then nothing. :rolleyes: I guess this one just loves being all cosy, unlike DS who is an impatient thing at the best of times, and never really liked being cuddled in as a small baby.

    pigpen thanks for the day off. I've swiped the bathroom and done one load in WM. Other than that, nothing. Hair washed, and relaxing. Could definitely do with hoovering, but i am going to do that tomorrow when DS is at nursery, or get DH to do it if i am not around. Boys have been to the supermarket, DH made me breakie and lunch, and has now taken DS to play in the garden.

    Tiddles sounds like DS - always so hungry, and if he sees you going near food he has to have it, so i hate having to cook anything that takes more than a couple of minutes as he then cries at you.

    We have sun today, and can be smug for a change as our garden is looking presentable, and nextdoor are out mowing. :D

    shell and jill nice to see you around. I am another one who loves my Dyson animal, and it works hard - believe me, before that i had a DC01 - original one which had been my mums before that, and we only swapped cos my aunty bought us the new one as a xmas pressie, and DH still uses the old one in the garage and when DIYing.

    Have an enjoyable day everyone

    Michelle, x

    Hi

    I've spent most of the morning in the garden weeding and there is still so much to do:mad: .

    Ds2 wasn't very impressed earlier, a fly landed on his toy and he tried to touch it and it flew away. This kept happening and he was getting more and more frustrated bless him.

    Then i saw a frog and i called for him to come and see it, and by the time he got there it had jumped back in the pond so he was shouting frog back frog back.

    I suppose i'd better get my dailies finished before he wakes up then we can get back in the garden and do some more weeding.:rolleyes:

    Afternoon all.

    Lovely day here so we have been out to the words attempting to do my plantlife survey - didn't do it quite right but had a nice time anyhow.

    Hoover - I've got a miele cat and dog and it is fab#

    Just making pancake for a late lunch then plan a little bit more time in the garden.

    Actually pigpen my house is looking good. Even scrubbed all the gutters and facia (sp?) boards the other day (we live in a bungalow so no death ladders involved):p . Are you proud of me?

    Thank you so much for sorting the wilko stuff out too. Hubbie now has enough smellies to last him the year as was on BOGOF so got double quantity as well as lots of other stuff so grocery bill should be down for a while;) .

    Am stuck at work and it is so nice outside it is just evil of them making me be here. Still 35 mins and counting:D

    Although no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending.... life is a WIP.

    *is in a big huff*

    I asked the kids, 'right where will we go as it's so lovely? The beach, Culzean, the animal park, the river walk?' to which Ds1 replied 'Nah, I just want to go to the park' the park is almost next door and he goes on his own, and DS2 replied with lying on the sofa and pretended to be asleep, naked, after he removed the second lot of clothes I put on him today. Well FINE!

    I need to go to asda or tesco but will go tonight, think they would just be little sods if I dragged them along.

    So... Holiday it is then. Pah phooey and mleh neh ner!

    I'm so lonely.... :(
