No I'm not anywhere, I am off now but bbl.

Hello All

Swan What have you given up for lent then? I am thinking, was going to give up alcahol, but that would be too easy as I dont really drink a lot. I am thinking about not trying to control everything

I am back from hairdressers, I also had brows and legs waxed, so I am not a hair mad

Need to go collect the bous in 5 mins.

Have stripped their beds and bedding in washer

Need to put new clean back on

jas Cake is fantastic

Morning All

Just FLYing by. I'm a dinnerlady today so I've got to grab lunch and run really

Done all the morning routines and been to the Letters and Sounds course (Jolly phonics basically) Then it's school for the lunch stint then onto reading friends then bedtime routines

Gotta dash TTFN

Last year TMH I gave up alcohol, and it was quite hard, but by (40 days is a long long time) Easter, didn't care whether I had a drink or not... It is a good test of one's dependence on the stuff.

This year I am going to give up talking in negative way to dcs and try and phrase my requests authoratively .

TMH you do not need to give up anything just enjoy everything that is good whether that means being a planning type of person, or having a glass of wine or a large cream bun.

Morning all

Everyone seems so busy today.
Wendy Glad top trumps won yesterday. A game of that can last such a long time too. Haven't played it for ages here though. Hope the house purchase goes smoothly.
Sag I should do the "eat less crap" diet too. Had fruit for breakfast today, but it's likely to go downhill at lunchtime! Have baked flapjack though with sesame seeds, so that counts as healthy.
TMH How did you sleep last night?
Jas I love the cakes - the castle must have taken ages. DD would love that.

Didn't get back on here yesterday as spent much longer tidying/cleaning DD's room that I planned, but she did say thank you as soon as she went up there yesterday (ahhh) so it has been appreciated.

To do:
Reading (have been neglecting this)
Empty dishwasher
Hang towels
Wash bathroom mats
Ironing
Make shepherd's bottom (meat bit of shepherd's pie of course, but sometimes we have that bit with rice so it's shepherd's bottom here).

Now to get on.

Hi Ruby - thank you so much. You have saved me about a fiver as all the other places like asdadirect etc had it more expensive to start with. Also, several places were out of stock so I had no garantee of actually getting it. Point being - your efforts are very much appreicated

Hi all.

Lent huh? I'm giving up shopping ! Good luck with the abstenencies sag and the calmess swan and galen. Mad - you shouldn't be giving up anything, you have enough to contend with!

Swan - I admire you for cutting back on tv. Mine probably watch too much . I think not having SKY is the key. Mine are watching less as they grow out of cebeebies (esp as DVD player is broken). I will go find your drivimg thread (I hate driving though).

To do:
collect new car
bed room cleaning
ds homework
laundry
mission
