Good luck with the house sale Mouse.

Yank - he sounds like a real trouper!

Lizzy, what time do you finish? If it makes it any better for you, I love the sun and heat, but it is too hot for me to sit out at the mo. I have been in the coolness of the garage tidying and sweeping.

4pm Bella, then it is BBQ time.
I may stop and get some Pimms on the way home.
I was going to go to the early spin class tomorrow, hmmm.

A young girl has just walked past looking fab in a black playsuit thingy, not really short she looked all cool and trendy and not trussed up and flustered.

bellavita · 22/05/2010 14:52

Get the Pimms Lizzy, you deserve it!

You would think it too warm to be dressed in black?

Fleecy · 22/05/2010 14:52

Hello everyone,

Lost another pound this morning - yay! Slow progress, losing a pound a fortnight but am toning up too so it's all good. And slow off means (hopefully) slow to go back on!

Only an hour-ish to go Lizzy

Well done on the breakfast SAF and your stew sounds yummy.

Alas we are the only people in the country not having a BBQ today. But oddly enough we do have BBQ chicken and wedges for dinner so not far off.

Ew Ew Eeeeew

Went to get DD up from her nap.

Not only has she had explosive diahorrea but she managed to get her nappy off.

She looked like this

It has taken me an hour to scrub her cot, her walls her hair...

Oh god I am never going to be clean again!

bellavita · 22/05/2010 17:08

Oh dear Bitter, I am sorry, but that has just made me laugh out loud

I'm off to work (stinking of shit no doubt)

Have a lovely evening ladies

TotalChaos · 22/05/2010 18:22

um enjoy your evening at work, at least it should be a poo free zone Bitter.

alice - glad you are out of hozzie, hope you are able to rest up etc as per doctors' orders

lizzie/mousey - viewings and house selling is the pits. many sympathies.

shiney - above and beyond call of duty, childminding

Lizzylou · 22/05/2010 19:09

OOh, Pimms was lovely, as was BBQ but think I should have eaten more carbs, feel a bit squiffy.
DH is bathing boys, think he is having it away behind my back, he offered???!!!
MOre Pimms and a DVD this eve, 7lbs with Will Smith.

Sorry about the Poo fest Bitter, bleurgh.

I got home to the boys making mud, herbs, assorted leaves and shell soup with water and some compost in a big bucket.

I have spoken to DH about perhaps supervising them a tad more.

Maybe why he is bathing them

MitsubishiWarrioress · 22/05/2010 19:41

Perhaps it's your good books he is trying to get into Lizzy .

I have been for a run. It felt good, fabulous on the moors as always. So beautiful and tranquil.

BUT. My toenails are nearly dropping off again. Why? I am not doing much running. Look after my feet. Two are detached to the point where they join the toe. Bummer. Just in time for the flipping summer when I want to where flip flops and sandals...

hellsbelles · 22/05/2010 19:54

Alice glad they got to you...I hope they look nice on you.

Bitter Bitter Bitter you poor thing!!!!

SAF - thanks so much - I will definitely try it.

Lizzy - I'm always the red puffy person in this weather...which I find particularly galling as I have mediterranean blood so feel I should be able to handle heat...but I just can't. I always look at those people who waft around look cool and perfectly dressed for the heat.

Lucky you having pimms and will smith!

Bella - you are good tidying and sweeping...but somehow you make it sound good when you say 'in the coolness of the garage' like it was some kind of meditation

Double very exciting about the footballer - can't wait to hear how it goes.

Yank I do love love love the way you talk about DH...really warms my heart.

Mitts - the run sounds wonderful...the toes do not. How very odd. Are you shoes squishing them in a weird way that pressures them when you run?

MitsubishiWarrioress · 22/05/2010 20:02

I don't think so Hells.. I very rarely run at the moment and not enough I would have though to do that damage. Doc said last year it was partly due to chronic anaemia but my bloods are supposed to have stabilised. I might mention it as I have to go to docs again next week.

Where is Bella tonight? Has she gone out and I missed it.

Alice I hope you are OK and also Yank (and MrCock).

Wasting.. are you still improving? I hope so... x

Are you getting busy at this time of year Fanny?

DeM. If you are lurking, i hope you are doing OK..take care x

Shiney.. at creche ..

Missing Jet...

Mittz · 22/05/2010 20:07

My name has been on a diet.. I wanted the S but it is taken spelt like that. Even though the mysterious 'Mitts' has never posted...
Anyway.. I am tipping my hat to my 80's adolescence..

hellsbelles · 22/05/2010 20:10

I love the Z mittz! Bella was last seen sweeping her garage

BitOfFunInTheQuattro · 22/05/2010 20:10

Hurrah for Mittz

Bitter, it's such a relief to know that I'm not the only one on here with shit stories

Mittz · 22/05/2010 20:13

Well she's in killer heels and drinking champers on FB so it must be a hell of a garage!!

hellsbelles · 22/05/2010 20:15

well that sounds better than sweeping doesn't it!

Must go - see you all later.

Mittz · 22/05/2010 20:24

I wore this today I love it, it is so cheery
