    Right, I'm about off to bed.

    Michelle - I'll do the photo tomorrow (as long as it's not going to bore you all) so you can see it all in its new found glory. I think I have one somewhere showing what it looked like before it was hidden by the throw. But I am dead chuffed (even though my poor pre-arthritic hands are grumbling about all that in and with the needle and the strength required to get the staple gun to fire). Even DS has given good compliments about it this evening - it must be good!

    But, night night ladies. And remember - tomorrow is another day. You can wake up with a clean slate and start afresh.

    Look forward to seeing the photos soappie, goodnight, hope your hands are ok in the morning x

    Not asleep yet, dogs been going crackers for some reason (hope nothing bad happened as last time they were so unsettled people had been attacked) DPs ended up taking someone to York in the taxi...........only about 100 or so miles away.....so he's on his way there now, been a quiet evening so he's welcomed the jaunt to be honest. Worries me when he ends up going so far away as it's a long boring drive home, so doubt I'll sleep until he's back up here.

    Right, need to get the dogs let out, see if the next attempted (starclens) has worked on the grape juice and then bed time. Byeeeeeeeeeeee x
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    helloo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    yesa its me I am still alive
    Life has been mega hectic, started back to work start in May - 3 days a week - and if I had no time before well I have even less now. Flying is a dim distant memory, can just about keep on top of food and laundry. Keep thinking i might try a spot of flying but dont feel quite ready yet. Thought it would be nice to ppo on and say hello though.

    Got my social life back this week, had a few nights out this week including tonithg, we went to a friends 80s party and I am just eating cheese on toast before I hit the sack. Hubby getting up tomorrow and I am having a lie ie hence the late night ....

    Hope everyone well, hugs to all (((())))

    Facebook confuddles me a bit, too!!
    Where's the whos who thread?
    Johanne - hugs to you . . .

    Had a funny sort of week - didn't really get a lot done.

    This weekend we've been very happy with sports results. Rugby and cricket are in our good books again :)

    List of stuff left to do tonight:

    Empty DW
    Throw some clothes off the airer into the dryer
    Throw some clothes in the WM onto the airer (it's raining)
    Run vacuum through living areas
    Buy Fish and Chips for tea
    Should do some ironing, but probably won't.

    A mate is coming around early tomorrow morning to watch some Euro football - I'll be out the door to work before 8am, but OH will still be home - will be too wet to go out mowing, I think.

    Right, best go and get started - have a great Sunday, everyone :)

    I've washed a load of dishes and been looking for car insurance so that's my morning so far!

    Nice to see you Jill - hope you had a good night out - I wondered what you were doing up at that time of the morning.

    Right I'll crack on

    Catch you later

    Morning peeps

    Nice to see you Jill.

    I havent worked out how to find the whos who on facebook yet, so would love to add you luby lou but havent a clue who you are or where to find you.

    Been up about an our now and have emptied 1 lot of washing over from TD and swapped another lot over. Have taken the tent down from the middle room where DD has been camping while daddy's away but she's got so much carp in it that I wanted to get it all cleaned away before he comes home sometime tomorrow night. He's just text me to say he's going through the Mont Blanc tunnel - 15 miles through the rock :eek: . I'd be petrified.

    Now about to hoover the main living room as loads to do. Want to clean downstairs before I go and do the shopping, then going to my mums for lunch and she'll then have kids while I go to work at 3 (hopefully only for a couple of hours) then back to hers and home to get everything ready for school and work tomorrow! Oh and there'll be a continuous feed of the WM and TD as well.

    Bet I dont get half what I want done so best start now.

    Oh plus I need to eat some brekkie at some point - maybe think brekkie on the move!

    Morning everyone.

    I conned an extra hour in bed this morning too. I wasn't asleep, just feeding ds2, but it was nicer than rushing around.

    We've had breakie, and are just defrosting the fridge before the food shop. I'll strip all the beds in a minute when i go to get dressed.

    soappie i like seeing the photos of what you have achieved. Sorry your hands are sore.

    lil-me enjoy diggerland. hope the boys aren't ill. (crossed fingers smiley) My sister was going to go at half term with her boys using the voucher i got them for xmas, but it was raining so they didn't make it. I think she'll take them in the summer hols now.

    kaz have a little bit of me time too. Don't burn out.

    jill nice to see you. don't get stressed about not keeping up. I can't and i am at home at the moment. We put so much pressure on ourselves to do everything, and life is for enjoying too. Glad you managed to get out

    morning all

    happy sunday to everyone :) it was lovely and bright when i got up before but its gone all grey now. DH is still fast asleep, bless him. We were going to do a long 17mile walk today but i'm not so sure about it now - maybe half of it! the WM is on and that's about all there is to do except to put the clean washing from yesterday away.

    The other thing i want to do is to use one of those online sites to make a photobook of wedding pics - has anyone tried them?
