Woooo, thats exciting, I had abit of bp probs with first but your so close now just take it easy, hope you'll be grand

Forgot to add to my list shaved ds hair done
Not the best job thankgod I didn't go at it with the really small cutters, actually that might have been better think dh will bring him to barbers next week any way

sleepover went very well PBM, they actually fell asleep at 11.30, I have had to lock front and back door this afternoon as DD3 (2 yrs old), decided she was going to the shop "to get me bar" and "can of coke mammy? yeah",caught her next door with twenty pence in her hand and heading for the entrance to the estate . Will definately have to get side gate fixed now
I just have sitting room left to do, cant manage to get the mattress back up the stairs will have to wait on dh to come home

oh crap she is adventrous, abit like my dd2,need eyes in the back of your head,

I keep my doors locked all time now anyway as someone tried to break in to our house last November, thankfully the alarm went off, but they kicked door in, my friend scared me by saying what if youd been in shower or something and not heard them

I used leave my doors unlocked when inside, think we were in a false sense of security as we live up a lane beside a farmhouse, although think thats why they scarpered probably thought someone on farm might hear alarm

anyway finished filing manuals, should really being doing bills but dh hasnot finished the invoices we are really late this month, I'll not be able to complain if we don't get paid on time!

was going to tackle washing kitchen walls & ceiling but might leave until tomorrow too close to dinner (chippy tonite)

Dh just rang for our order for chippy . Has to call on his DM to see if she can mind DD1 and DD3 for a while tomorrow as DD2 is playing football. Its over 3 yrs since we last asked them to mind any of DCs as my Dsis normally does it but she is off climbing a mountain tomorrow for charity!

Oh just noticed your car passed,PBM congratulations

Hope she minds them, Good on your sister, I'd love to be like that

She is only doing it because her dd talked her into it! . Dont think she can refuse as she is always minding Dsils 5,but then again there is always the difference of daughters children and sons children . Personally speaking of course!!
