Hi glitterfairy - I love the support of this thread too - it really is a great thing and has really helped me get on! Just nosed at your profile and see you're from Clitheroe - that's where my father is from so I visited lots before my Grandfather died a few years ago. What a beautiful area to be in - I've had some good walks up Pendle Hill in my day Have you been there long? Have a good day today x

I really must go and get on....just sitting here munching toast atm

glitterfairy · 11/02/2007 09:52

Hiya shouldbe My dads side of the family are all from around here in a kind of they are all my second cousin type way. As a child we moved around an awful lot but I was always drawn back to Pendle. I love the hill and the way it dominates things and the mystical associations it has. I have lived around here for about 20 years now and still love it. Was in Blackburn for four years and am glad to be back home!

Jelley · 11/02/2007 10:10

glitterfairy - I love the idea of something for you on the list - I'm going to dop my toenails today too I think!

I'm hoping that if I get the kids room tidy and put away as many of the toys asI can, they can get oyut a couple of bigger things tomorrow.

I've got both the girls helping this morning, as they know it is a treat to have everyone round (I don't really like it and don't do this all the time).

DS is 1 in 2 weeks
I'm not doing a party, but have caved in to inviting round mums and babies to play

Its a Sunday! Whats with all the cleaning. Lol!

Luda i had to re-read mince meat 3 times! I kept reading it as mouse meat!!

Gym ball doesn't make a great comp chair!!

Think i will ask on freecycle see if anyone has a spare one going free.

ludaloo · 11/02/2007 12:18

Phew just stopping for a drink and a biscuit.

FTS You are doing very well...your living room sounds sparkling

Tort lol @ Mouse Meat! I was pretty discusted at the Mince Meat! I might have barfed if it was Mouse Meat Glad your table has gone ok...good luck finding a comp. chair.

It really is awful I have found all sorts of grim things. I found a shrivelled up chip behind the sofa...I only did this a few weeks ago!!

The kids have bored of the cleaning now...DD2 is eating a yoghurt, the other two are watching the BFG.

I am pleased to report, the down stairs is looking lovely now! I need flowers just to top it all off. I have given all the plants some TLC...they have had their leaves polished, and a good half an hour in the sink to soak up some water. I could really do with putting the living room blinds in the wash, I might do that later

Right...better crack on

Ewwww...just momentarily stuck on the FLY site...

Top Weird things found on a Boogie Fling....
This is the weirdest!!!

"My husbands fingers! Yes, I mean his actual fingers. He had an accident a few months ago where he stuck his hand up under a running lawnmower and severed parts of 3 fingers. The paramedics were unable to find them to reattach, but my SIL went out there the next day on her hands and knees and found them. My DH thought they were neat to show guests, I thought they were a little gross, but they've been in a tupperware container in my freezer for too long! I cringe every time I look at them. Time for those babies to go!"

(just posted this on the wrong thread! Sorry if Friday's thread pops up and confuses!!!

shouldbedoingthehousework · 11/02/2007 12:34

OMG how busy!!! Sorry girls, haven't had time to re-read the whole thread and I know there is bundles I have missed.

Got up this morning and my house looked like it hadn't been touched so I've done some more washing and hung it up, about to tackle the washing up again and tidy round everywhere.

Only place that does still look pretty good is DD's room.

Will check back later!

PS Hi to any newbies and hi to those I have missed!
