morning all back in a mo with links etc

Afternoon all

Congrats Wolf sounds lovely.

Swan and OFM hope your days got better, I sometimes dread weekends - Miss DH when he is at work but just know we will end up arguing all weekend.

Got up early this morning and went for a long walk round a massive carboot sale - Can't normally be bothered with them but got loads of books for Uni so happy and DD got a hopscotch mat so she is happy too. Been to pub for pub lunch and a pint and then caravan for a few hours and an icecream. DH has now taken DD to swimming lessons and I am hoovering (got to show willing) - was going to gym but figured no point after pint at lunch.

Still have uni work to do this evening but other than that gonna do a little relaxing too. Hope everyone else is enjoying the sunshine and not working too hard. BB tomorrow

Sounds like a nice day MC .

Have been at the beach most of the day with DC . Tynemouth was like Marbella . It was so warm I couldn't get DC out of the sea . Wish I'd taken my cossie too .

Frantically getting ready for tomorrow now. Roll on 1/2 term .

OFM sorry to hear you didn't have the best sunday
MC You did enough excercise walking to worry about the gym
SS you sound like you and DC had a good time

DH and I managed to completly clear the junk from our balcony and clean it all down, we put a big rug out there and cushions with backs on so it is like an outdoor room now.. and safe for DC because we have no chairs or tables they could climb up.. we are 3 floors up.

Tomorrow is going to be a big clean up and tidy up day after the weekend.. Weekends our place just gets tipped upside down.. at least a lovely outdoor area to retreat to now though. Catch you all in the morning x

Evening all

Wwe have had a great weekend in the sun, but back to the grind tomorrow.

I am feeling rather stressed about money again. Bloddy bank took their bank charges, meaning two DD's bounched which means another £60 bank charges. It is never ending, without the charges we might just manage a month, I have had to borrow from mum again. I am scared that we will lose the house at this rate

tea huge hugs

TM B**y banks! £60 charge is ridiculous.thankfull our bank has just slashed charge from £30 to £5, as we found out when one ofour DD's bounced due to stupid Orange taking it a day early grrrrr Still was very relieved charge was only £5
Money is horrible isn't it. I find it is a constant underlying stress to everything here at the moment...hard not to let it wear you down.Hang in there.

have tried adding photos to profile but it doesn't want to work so here's a like www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=179625&id=681426197&l=dcee2d84e5

p.s it does contain some random holiday photos too - sorry

OFM I did go back to bed at 3pm, to escape general "Atmosphere" I really think the only thing is to get everyone out for as long as possible - relaxing at home is a contradiction

a very strange day, really,
lots done
very hot, beautiful really (unless you are in Homebase - the most boring plant selection I have yet seen 100 ceonothus, 100 cordylines and 1000 box, and horrid salmon coloured geraniums - nt inspiring AT ALL if you were after lemon and plum colours.

midsummer madness all round, kids on shed again, water slide, much screeching, mud on carpet, bbq

but I think flowers are all planted now, and stage set for communion party. I've worked out (doh me) that I can always put sun love bedding in sunny place for now, and then mooove pots into the shady areas on the actual day of the party!
dh cut hedge
I went to tip, more sweltering
front garden a bit better too

Wolf you look perfectly lovely - hair dress, husband, everything! I am very happy for you and your dh AND your amazingly sweet ds, he looks v. grownup!

[exits to give my dh a kiss]

Wolf lovely photos - lovely dress, love the embrodiery on it. Gorgeous photos glad it worked out well. Congratulations
