Everyone is welcome,
we are a friendly bunch,
we post our lists big or small,
tick jobs off as we go along.

We give each other a kick up the bum when needed or shoulder to cry moan on,
and a pat on the back.

Cake & Coffee Alcohol always welcomed

Spent 3 hours looking for dress to wear to wedding reception (evening do)- totally exhausted and stressed out by end of it! I live in jeans and sneakers and don't do 'dressy' very often!

Need to do :

laundry ironingclean bathroomshoovertidy and clean kitchenmake lemon meringue pie
but won't be doing any of it except the Lemon meringue pie because.....well to be honest I just cannot be bothered!! Dress shopping has done me in for the day!

Oh and my attempts to type in bold are only half working- too lazy to correct-sorry!:O

PlumBumMum · 03/04/2010 20:46

PMSL Wasting

Happy Birthday Freak

JustKeepSwimming · 04/04/2010 21:18

Wow Tusker, that's an impressive range of ages!! Glad your DDs have got DC close together, and good on you for taking care of them a 14 year gap in between the 2 sets is truly impressive, or had you just forgotten most about the early years?!

Plum - lol at your DC, we didn't really do anything Easter Bunny related as neither of us have much of a tradition of it, lots of choc seems to be the only thing we remember from our childhood

The rest of the house is quite tidy, it is just the debris from the roast yesterday but i am too lazy.

Yesterday i tried to be good mummy and do craft stuff with DD. She had been given an easter bunny felt bag making set. started off fine, then it got technical. DD got banished to play stickers with DH while i effed and blinded over the useless piece of shite. never again, Peppa is on the telly today

Ali, it is hard, but it's worth it. Good going on the books. I'm almost serious about putting the non-fiction into Dewey Decimal order.

CC, loving the hangover shopping!

Alice, I made DH take DS out after dinner yesterday and did 15 mins stints till the kitchen was near reasonable, other I'd be crying in there now.
15 mins is the way to go. I love my timer, it's helping me to get quicker in the shower too.
