It looked lovely in little Venice mind. l think l would like to go there for a visit .
Woolly your poor DS, l so hope he is feeling better , bless him .
Have a lovely evening everyone

Evening everyone, just making burgers.. fish for me and DH and beef for ds. Had a chilled one at home reorganising rooms!! .. it’s ds birthday tomorrow so will be up early to give him his card (putsome money in) and his Ed Sheeran ticket! Before he off to school then I’m carbooting and DH is having a lie in as he off now too. We are going to Frankie and Bennies for tea and watching Deadpool 2. Dd is joining us and bringing him a cake!! .. can’t believe he’s 14 already. Make the most of your little ones.. time just flies past he’s taller than me and a size 7 shoe now lol. Have a great evening folks xx

It’s not really that exciting, Mrs, just a lot of photocopying! 😂

I do like to get out of the office; it’s good for the soul. 😁

No Mrs, I missed Carol nearly running into a surfer! Poor man, I bet he got a fright! 😂 I used to live near Little Venice, it is lovely, and surprisingly central.

I'm not allowed to say exactly what we were tasting, I'd probably get in trouble with MNHQ, but the first version wasn't great, the second version was greatly improved.

We have rain too! I don't mind so much as I'm working but it's half term next week so I'm off and I want nice weather!

Rain rain go away come again another day , it is dark as hell here and rained all night and according to Carol the weather it will be raining all day , you are missing out Internal, as you can see Perfect and myself are following her every move lol hope the weather stays good for your booty.
Happy 14th birthday to your DS Internal, your plans for his birthday sounds fab l bet he is so pleased . Have a great time this evening.
Perfect you are not allowed to say what you were tasting..........l can't stop wondering now hahahahha
Fluffy have a great day , crank the photocopier up and off to go , 4 days off ahhh bliss , enjoy it m'dear.
We are picking up DD1 from train today she is home for a week so it will be lovely to have her home again. She didn't come home half as much last year but l have encouraged her to come home more lately to have her bottle filled and mine, nothing like it lol .
Better go and shift myself, have a lovely day all

We love Carol the weather here Internal, until DH goes to work at 6.30, then I have to watch Super 4 with DS2, then when DD goes and gets washed I get Carol back. 😂

I'm having smoked salmon and scrambled eggs and a banana this morning. 😋🍌

All I can say re the tasting Mrs, is that my DC wouldn't touch it with a bargepole. Far too healthy. 😂

Happy 14th birthday miniInternal! 🎁🎂🎈🎉🎊

Happy birthday to your DS, Internal! 🎉🎉🎉

Thanks guys I told him my Christmas Threaders day happy birthday ... He was both confused and amused 😂😂😂 will check in later xx

😂😂😂

Stayed 25 minutes' late at work to get some odds and sods done before I left for the weekend. But I didn't do too badly, given I've been photocopying / paginating / collating for almost a whole day this week!

Glad I'm off now though. I need a break from the hard graft! 😂

😂 Internal

Picked the DC up, went to the Sainsbury's café, DS2 had a cheese and tomato pizza and a Double Caramel Magnum, DD had cottage pie and peas and White Magnum, I had ham, eggs and chips and a Calippo, DS2 will go to bed at 8. 😋🍅🍕🍳🍟😴

I had to clean the bathroom tonight as we are leaving here early tomorrow as we’re off to CBeebies Land at Alton Towers first thing. Nice to come back to a clean house!

Thankfully packing doesn’t take much effort!

I should go to bed soon as we need to get up at 6. 😴😴😴

Greetings from beautiful Flam. This is my view this morning.

Happy National Towel Day! Remembering Douglas Adams.

DH will be under the knife now.

Happy Rudolph Day too.

There is such a thing as "National Towel Day"?

Still far too busy chez Biddy, but a couple of things are coming to a head so it may slow down in the next 4-6 weeks. I really really hope it does!

I hope all goes well for your DH Perfectly.

Happy Rudolph Day! It's passed me by as we've been up and at 'em from first thing so we got to Alton Towers for opening time.

We had a great day. The kids managed not to moan too much, which is a miracle, even in queues for rides. DS went on his first - mini - rollercoaster and loved it! They're having a quick sleep in the car now while we drive to the hotel.

Mrs, I hope your dad is doing OK.

Perfectly, I hope your DH recovers well. Did you tell us what he was in for?

Pizza Express dinner tonight. We're guaranteed that the kids will eat it, so it's our usual go to when away from home!

I really want take away tonight but know I shouldn't! We have stuff to cook and will no doubt eat out a bit next week. I think it's because there's no school/work for ten days now 🙌🏼

Hope everyone's had a good day

I'm stuffed now! Bloody love Pizza Express! 🍕🍕🍕

Biddy yes, it's a Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy thing! Do you know where your towel is?

DH came home about 12, far earlier than I thought, he's just taking it easy after the op. Thanks for your concern.

Bought the DC ice lollies from the PTA, DD was picked up for a party, picked DS2 up, had chicken and sweetcorn sandwiches for supper, picked DD up, DS2 will go to bed at 8. 🎁🎂🎈🎉🎊😋🍗😴
