Afternoon all :wave:

Welcome to the newbies and hello again to the returners

I'm in Liverpool again and still in my pjs BF drove us down yesterday as we had the airport run to do with DD and my mum and dad. So thats DD away for 6 weeks :eek: I dont know what I'm going to do with myself. Well, apart from watching Wimbledon, flying, reading and shopping. Oh and moving house and finding another job

I think I'll get dressed and head up to the Co-op for some chocolate. I'm planning on making chocolate strawberries for pudding tonight. Oh and I'm going to treat myself to an EasiYo yoghurt maker. Lakeland are doing them on special. £9.33 reduced from £13.99. Still getting the hang of facebook as well, so I'm not ignoring anyone, just unsure what I'm doing :rotfl:

Hi

I must have picked up about 20 hair bobbles :eek: I have also found another few ebay items,I haven't done anything to them apart from put them in a pile but i'll work on that later.

Johanne, thart sling is lovely! Looks really comfy for you both. How sweet is she?! *broodyness alert*

I have done..... sod all.... Been in town all morning with DH, exchanged kids TV for a new one and set it up, got doggy food (forgot rabbit food-doh!), returned my shirt dress that is lovely but just too short for me now that I am getting old and stuff (and have to ben-dover a lot), managed to not spend anything else too, I even avoided the craft shop knowing that I would end up spending the road tax money. I made myself oval dog tags with each of the kids thumb prints and a hearts and stars border for myself and didn't even mess it up (much)!

I'm all chuffed too. DS2 cut up his chicken burger with a knife and fork, which is a HUGE deal for us (he has Hemiplegia), I helped but once he worked out the whole swapping knife and fork and got a good grip of the fork, he was quite happy to keep trying. :j :j :j

List....

Go to Mum and Dads
Feed kids
get kids to bed
Start kitkchen and living room (it's mainly cleaning and wall wiping so will do them together, they are only wee)

You keep your money in your freezer? :rotfl:

Well, not done very well flying, but I've got dinner in and DS cuddled.

Decided to do the extra WM clean first because that could be cleaning while everything else was getting done. Went through hot wash with washing soda and vinegar. Broke filter. Darn. Washing machine still works, so output of ironing not likely to be reduced. Darn.

And spent so much time messing about 'sorting out' stuff that nothing has actually got done. Well, no point starting floor til after tea, but I can find plenty of other stuff to get on with. Unfortunately. Sigh.

Ah well maybe not. Sorry not got a clue as to the reason for them then
