Enjoy today luda.

Glitter - welcome back Are you still running?

Grouchy - I guess I'm too late for you to see this, but I hope you have a relaxing holiday

Big to mlr , Simply, yaddayah, neverenough and everyone else I've missed.

Hello

Have a good day today Luda
Jas hope your household is soon feeling better x
EHM enjoy having the house to yourself

It's been a very busy morning!

Dd has just tried on her costume and for some reason is in a sulk about it No idea what's wrong with her this morning! She says she likes it but something isn't right.
Ds has gone out with dh and I've started on his costume - it'll be very basic but never mind.

I have a massive fat lip Not a good look at all!

Hello to all.

Thanks for the thread EHM. My dh was away once for a week when the kids were pretty small. They must have been around 1yr and 2yrs old. Then when we moved here, I think I had 6 weeks of him being away from Sun pm to Fri evening. They were 2 and 3 then. With no family around, it was tough. It is hard, isn't it? The days are so loooong.

Jas Sorry to hear that your dds are ill. I hope they feel better very soon.

Well, I must crack on. We had a very late night (dd home around 9.45pm and ds at 11.50pm) so we had a lie in this a.m.

See you later.

Sorry shouldbe, x posted with you there! Perhaps you could do something different with her hair to make it match the costume and she'll forget about whatever it is that she's not sure about? Might be grasping at straws, here! Good luck with ds' costume. I hope your lip goes down soon. I can't think of anything you can do to hurry the healing, unfortunately. I've had it happen to me by my ds, too. I've still got a scar inside my bottom lip.

DD WON FIRST PRIZE

Ds just about managed to take part but was very reluctant!

Brilliant shouldbe make sit all worthwhile!

Have shortened name a bit.

Excellent shoulde Aaw, what did she win?

neverenough Give us a twirl so we can see how much your new improved name suits you!

What a boring day today. Was meant to be going on holiday this weekend but dh has 'manflu' and we are broke so it isnt looking hopeful...

So have been doing bits and bobs but really should be doing lots and lots. Can't be bothered. It's freezing cold and I have practically flooded the dining room floor by defrosting the freezer then forgetting about it and going out shopping Crap.

Okay whine over. Have the heating on so feeling a bit warmer. Dh has gone out so at least he isn't whining in my ear and kids are playing happily upstairs so all is not doom and gloom.

And have thread killed or been totally ignored on about 15 threads today... so you BETTER SPEAK TO ME!!

ta da! What do you think-does it suit me?

It's lovely and sunny here gibberish-in fact, might defrost freezer so DDs can paddle and stop whinging about nothing to do!

Already felt bad about seemingly ignoring you a few nights ago gibberish!

Know what you mean about killing threads though-have the touch myself-it's a gift!

Looks beeeeyoootiful! Wish I had one but it wouldn't look as good on me

Lol well make sure that freezer isn't on a carpet when you decide to defrost it... NOT a good idea. It's in the dining room for a bit until we can sort out the space where it is MEANT to be going. Ah well. It's looking lovely and frost free now. Cooking four lots of dinners in a bit so that I can freeze two.

I'm always up too late never - one of the downsides is being on when all the sensible people are tucked up in bed. Don't feel bad

Well I look forward to some late night chats then gibberish!No matter how I try, I cannot make myself hit the sack early.
Often it's the only time I get to myself!

Hey ho! Off to start dinner, and do a spot of ironing(or may sit in the sun for a while and read the paper....hmm tough decison)

Excellent - will hold you to that!

And stop bragging about the sun

Have tidied all downstairs. Off to hoover then start dinner.

Evening ALL

Had lovely day with Ellie, despite her awaking at the crack of dawn she only had 30 mins nap today. So she was sound asleep in her cot by 705 I gave an early bath at 530 as she was flagging. Then after her bath she helped me change the sheets on my bed & her cot & hoover upstairs. As I did no flying this morning I've managed to do lots since she went to bed Had to stop as I've just had a nose bleed, have rotten head cold

jas sorry to hear both dd's are poorly. Hope things improve soon
Shouldbe Fab news 1st PrizeHave a great time with your brother & sil
simplyS The days can be long,Ellie was a little treasurer todayIt must have been hard for you, especially with no family. I managed to stay out of the house with Ellie from 915 until about 330ish today. So the day went quickly. I've done all my flying tonight so I can do the same tomorrow as DH wont be home until after 7.
bewilder hope you are all well now

Done after dd going to bed:
s& s downstairs loo
s & s kitchen, shine sink & hob
bleach & clean cats feeding area
sweep & mop floors
wipe down highchair
2 loads of washing, now on clothes horse
have nose bleed
receive call from dh mid nose bleed.he is in Scotland golfing with his mates EasyJet have lost his golf club
neverenough suits you sir!
gibberish I thought it was only me that killed threads. It puts me off posting
GF hope you have a nice relaxing evening

DH is very these are custom made golf clubs, made by his friend in Italy who is a golf pro. They where expensive despite his friend making them.

I'am off for a quick shower, S& S bathroom & to bed. Night Night.x.x.x

Please excuse me being only half with it. It's a bit late for me but I didn't want EHM to think she was thread killing.

EHM I'm glad you've had a good day with Ellie. I hope your dh's golf clubs turn up. If not, can your dh claim for the full amount they cost to replace?

shouldbe Well done on the first prize!

Right. I'm going to head off now. Nos da pawb. Good night all. See you tomorrow!

I hope your dh gets compensated for the lost clubs EHM! That's terrible

Yes I'm very good at killing threads or being completely invisible. I think I may start being incredibly controversial at any given moment and may raise my profile

Made the most gorgeous meal tonight! Took forever to cook and billions of pots used, but it was still worth it. Chicken with garlic and lemon casserole. YUM!! Everyone loved it. Will make it again (when I have 3 hours to kill )

Not done much in the house to be honest, although I should have. But am on holiday so just want to chill out.

Anyway you are prob all in bed by now and I am here chuntering to myself again like a sad 'un so speak to you tomorrow.

I'm here gibberish!Still pottering after catching Hell's Kitchen. Dinner sounded lovely! I did a Greek thing , basically slow cooked lamb in a tomato sauce with pasta-can't remember what it's called!

EHM your DH must be livid about the golf clubs-hope that hasn't completely spoiled his weekend!

This thread must be getting to me-vaccuumed the whole ground floor this evening before dinner! Saturday evening! usually on the gin by then!

Goodnight all.

Yum, sounds nice. You'll need to give me the recipe! Night

Yum they both sound nice gibberish and neverenough. EHM hope golf clubs turn up. How annoying! Also hope your cold gets better. Am up early and off to tidy the kitchen whihc I left in a right mess last night as I was so tired because of getting up at 5am.

Ok. I'm going to have to be very firm, here. No talking about lovely meals unless you're couriering them to the houses of other FLYers, ok? We have the c rule in work. You're not allowed to mention chocolate, cake or (the big one) cawl (Welsh soup) in work unless you've got some for everyone to share!

Woke up early today and one of my first thoughts were of the news about the helicopter crash near Lanark. Obviously I feel very sad for the people who were in the helicopter and I will say prayers for them today but I'm a rallying fan and I don't want the news to be confirmed as true. I've been distracting myself with MN so far. Now it's later, I'll get showered and dressed to start the day.

gibberish and Neverenough I think we three could badger each other into going to bed earlier. Dh is a bad influence on me. I was washing up around 10.30pm, he joined me to do the drying up and we got started on inset days (beg of Nov) and half term Oct hol plans and before we knew it, it was well after 11pm. I think I'll send the dog up to wake him up in a mo. That'll teach him. She is nothing if not determined and loves to wake him up!

See you later.
