Morning... fluffy the sofa is my second bed!! DH has resorted to calling the landline to try and wake me up on a night 😂..
Mrs enjoy the booty .. we are dropping ds off for the second day of his Seminar at half nine and then DH will take me to work. Taken chicken out for a chicken and leek bake for tea, dd is coming later( to regale is with tales of her trip to Amsterdam) and it’s her fave! ... happy Sunday all x

NoWordForFluffy · 20/05/2018 08:51

I don't do it as often as I was, but it's probably a few times a month! 😂😂 I'm sometimes just too bloody tired to make it upstairs!

Sounds like there's lots of good days planned. It's so lovely having sunny weather to get out and about!

PerfectlySymmetricalButtocks · 20/05/2018 10:58

Had chocolate pancakes. 😋🍫

Mrsmadevans · 20/05/2018 19:38

Evening all [smile[
Car boot useless yet again Grin never mind it got us out in the sun.
Internal how brilliant 9 days off YAY! Gad your DD is back safe and enjoyed her trip , I have never tried chicken & leek bake l need to expand my recipes!
Hope everyone had a lovely day Smile

Mrsmadevans · 20/05/2018 19:45

Wow you can tell I didn't check my last msg before posting Grin typos fail hehe

WreckTangled · 20/05/2018 19:46

Eugh I got sunburnt. So cross with myself.

I did jacket potatoes for dinner but scooped out all the potato, mixed with butter, tuna and spring onion then put back into the jackets and cooked with cheese on top mmm was tasty.

I'm working all week now as I needed to swap the Monday after half term due to the dc having an inset day. It's lucky I can easily do that.

PerfectlySymmetricalButtocks · 20/05/2018 22:12

Had chicken and bacon sandwiches for lunch, kind of ploughman's baguettes for supper, DS2 was in bed by 8.30, DD will go to bed in an hour. 😋🍗🍅😴

Morning! Drinking coffee and watching BBC breakfast news and Carol the weather, will get DS2 up at 6.25, DD at 7.05. 😋Brew

Internaljukebox · 21/05/2018 06:44

Morning... no work for me yay! (Don’t know why I’m still up so early) bit foggy and dull here but hopefully it will brighten. Gonna wait while ds set off for school then walk dogs and empty little bedroom ready for decorating. Meeting my friend for coffee and then the big shed is the afternoon task! DH might finish early to help me but I have ddog on hand for any mice/massive spiders!!

NoWordForFluffy · 21/05/2018 06:48

It's gorgeous here already. Going to be another scorcher! ☀️☀️☀️

DS came in with us at about 3 this morning. First time in over a week, bless him. Then he said he was too hot in with us! 🙈😂

Going in slightly early today to make up time from last week. I wonder how much I have to catch up on from Friday, post and email-wise?!

BiddyPop · 21/05/2018 09:39

We went to the red bull flug tag yesterday - daft teams trying to get their contraptions to fly before diving into the water in the local harbour. Apparently 65,000 people were there - it certainly was very busy!

Regular planning and organising this weekend - Cubs and school committee things, and regular family stuff. DH is taking DD to a competition next weekend though and I can't go, so I plan to organise and to sew a lot while they're away (after Cubs meeting first - it's our first boating session of the year, eek!). But baby spit cloths are top of my list for sewing....

PerfectlySymmetricalButtocks · 21/05/2018 10:26

Lovely and sunny here, already 18°, 30% chance of rain though, the DC have got their raincoats in their bags. 😎☔

I've just had a large caramel latte, a cheese and tomato omelette and a banana. 😋Brew🍅🍌

NoWordForFluffy · 21/05/2018 17:49

Stunning day here today! On the way home now; Monday is one of my 5.30 finish days. Can't wait to get home as it's manic playing catch up with everything such came in on Friday. Sigh!

I think it'll actually be OK in general, but I'm wading through a whole load of new files, so that's time consuming. Such a hard life! 😂

PerfectlySymmetricalButtocks · 21/05/2018 18:07

I had a southern fried chicken baguette, crisps and a bottle of Drench for lunch, picked the DC up, they had tuna and cucumber baguettes for supper, I'm not hungry yet. 😋🍗😋🐟

PerfectlySymmetricalButtocks · 21/05/2018 18:40

DS2's going to bed at 7. 😴

PerfectlySymmetricalButtocks · 21/05/2018 19:29

DD will go to bed at 8.30. 😴

NoWordForFluffy · 21/05/2018 20:05

Ours were asleep just after 7 (after I read 6 books to DS!).

I have watered the garden, pinched off some side leaves from the tomato plants and made Yorkshire puddings for tomorrow’s dinner as everything got moved round because of a kids’ party yesterday! Our house smells amazing because of the Chinese chicken we had today. I marinaded it yesterday, so the flavour was superb today.

I’m now laying on the sofa. Lovely stuff!

Morning! Looking like another beautiful day once the early morning haze has burned away! ☀️☀️☀️

I'm at the station waiting for the train. Hopefully I can catch up a bit more today after last week's disaster! I can only imagine how up-to-date I would be if last week's system crash hadn't happened. Ah well, I think it happens in most places every now and then (certainly has everywhere I've worked in the last 8 years or so!).

Internaljukebox · 22/05/2018 08:19

Morning all.. felt odd not waking up to an alarm this morn! Fluffy hope you get caught up. We have train strikes here today and tomo, glad they don’t affect me for once!
Had a lovely time with my friend it was lovely weather and she had her little Grandson who has just started walking .. forgot how fascinating life is to a one year old, even just cracks in the pavement!!
Got little bedroom emptied and moved little shed back and fixed it’s broken door. Now it is ready to receive overflow from the big shed!! I’m hoping to find some more booty items in there too.
Meeting another friend this morn for an hour then il be back to it all day. Ooh and my Noel Gallagher tickets came yest too!!

WreckTangled · 22/05/2018 08:37

I'm sitting in the garden having a coffee before work Smile
