Hello new thread

Today i have been a good mummy and taken DD to toddler group, then bought a new dustpan and brush, bright pink washing basket and a silicon loaf tin - what an exciting life i lead....

DD is obviously a little under the weather, she fell asleep on me while i was snoozing resting my eyes and is completely sparked out on the sofa now. Means having to do the horses when she wakes up, hopefully with help from DH when he gets back from his course. I have really hurt my back and don't really want to be pushing four barrowfuls of muck about.

Think i will have a coffee and the last rock bun instead.....

Rock bun has gone stale, fat pigeon can have it instead. Thank god for chocolate bourbons

Hi everyone just marking my place, on shiny new thread well done Wasting

Afternoon everyine, I had to take DM to doctor this morning and then I was starting a new computer course.

This afternoon/evening I need to

Hello everyone and welcome back mollyroger.

JKS, the window is a mess flaking paintwork etc. and I tried it with a sharp knife, but I'm worried about cracking the glass.
There's a small crack in one of the panes where it looks like someone's tried to open it before.
Landlord said he was planning to replace the front windows in the Spring, so I don't think it's worth me getting a man in. Will get DH to chase him up on it soon.

I think we can authorise that JKS.

Thanks! have held out til now, up for bed in a min, then serious wine time, lol!

He's happy enough being naked though

but if I start drinking at 7, I won't have time to do everything! I only have that 4-hour slot. And no will power,Which is why I am on here and not making packed lunches...

and I have just found out that as soon as I get home from work tonorrow, I have visitors coming, so must go and de-crap the front room and clean the bathroom.

sounds serious mollyrodger. drink after.

I don't know why I'm encouraging everyone to drink I have the alcohol tolerance of a gnat at the moment due to bfeeding. .

Hello mollyroger Yes to the chargers, plugs, gadgets etc etc. We have a drawer under the spare bed where all items like that live, so far it is working!

JKS Can't imagine how hard it must be. That playgroup tomorrow sounds interesting, I guess you just have to keep trying things until something clicks with him and then it will help him progress?

Freaky - yay for your bed!

We have ended up being out for the whole day, had a lovely lunch in pizza express and then got the things we needed to for holiday.

I'm going to have hot chocolate instead! Have made myself a rule that I can only have alcohol when I've had at least 8 other drinks during the day and funnily on the rare days I actually manage that I don't seem to fancy the wine

There are bricks all over sitting room floor, am ignoring them!
