    Wasn't in the suitcase, was in the conservatory, silly me, why didn't I think of there. Well it's silly oclock, I doubt anyone else is still up. Picked up the books again as I didn't feel too tired mentally (phsyically feel snookered) and just put them down, hope what I have read sinks in, doesn't tend to when I stay up late. Anyway going to have some Weetabix because I am hungry and determined to be good and KEEP OUT of the biscuits.

    Hope you're all sleeping well, I'll be the one in the corner dozing off in the morning xxxx
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    Morning lovlies feeling much more my go get 'em self today so hope to achieve a lot.

    Washing out and going to put the towels in next after I have been in the shower.

    ches welcome... I follow pigpens list a fair bit of the time but swop the days round depending on how busy my week is. Most of us have our own dalies (mine WM/DW empty in the morning, wash on line/airer/ make pack ups/ tidy kitchen/wash up and s&s loos and sinks / quick tidy round and open all windows - pm load DW and WM and close all windows). Pigpen tends to add extras which are things that don't need doing every week and even puts on things like wash a set of curtains or sort your airing cupboard - good luck.

    Going to find my list - edit it and get in the shower.


    AnW'sMum not seen you much this week - thinking of you all x

    Soappie - you sound like a fab host, glad the weather was good for you

    Pigpen - wii DS3 had it for his birthday and likes it (as does OH). DS2 and DS1 still prefer the ps2 to be honest - in fact our 5 year old one broke a few weeks ago and they just wanted that replaced (£79 for a slimline one). They tend to go back to games - thrillville is their fav at the moment, and they are playing a cricket game they haven't played for a couple of years - all our games are old and we don't have that many. We have had bad experiences everytime with preowned games (even though the shop swaps them it is the disappoinment) so they only get the occasional new one for birthdays etc. I cannot beleive you are so organised with birthday and Christmas - I understand why you have to be but I am still in awe.

    Morning All

    I've been and done my dogsitting duties this morning but that's about it. AF has arrived and I'm feeling pretty naff!

    3 hr party yesterday turned into 4.25 hrs and we weren't the last ones to leave!

    Need to go and get some more punched pockets - went to Asda last night to get some and they had one pack of 20 and that was it - I need about 100!

    Right, I suppose I'd better drag myself off and do something.

    Catch you later

    Kazwookie - good luck, I'm sure you've got a right and I'm impressed by your willingness to eat the pasta - I can't put it in my mouth

    Morning julie, kaz, soappie and dusty

    Have showered and dressed, breakfasted with OH (who's now gone to bed), 2nd lot in washer and first in TD, had looked like it was going to be a bright morning but looks like rain now. Glad I got up and enjoyed my early morning cuppa outside in the sun while I had the chance! Got a cake in the oven and going to prepare veg for lunch

    :rotfl: at the euro lottery win kaz, bet you were hoping for a bit more than breakfast. Good luck with the godson trip

    I too must sort out kids accounts, want to open a child trust fund each for them although we dipped out on the money from the government as they're too old, hardly fair really that, ageism I think they call it :rolleyes:

    Darent drink any more tea yet, had 4 mugs already.

    Think I might go and do some of DD's ironing as she has nothing to wear.

    Morning flyers.

    Nice quiet night shift again. Im not going to bed yet Im going to do a HHI. Will go to bed after lunch and fly when I get back up.

    Pigpen Got me thinking talking about xmas. This will be the last yera I can afford quite good presents for DD GSs and GGDs. I retire next year so it will not have as much money. Was thinking about Wii for youngest grandson.

    Oh I cooked a sausage and baked bean casserole in the Remoska yesterday and it was really nice.

    pretz A positive has come from the fire. A lovely new kitchen.


    Mudbath That was a really nice gesture by the old man.

    Ches Welcome!

    Soappie Sounds like you had a lovely day.
