Rainbow, sounds like it went well considering the topic!

Freak, park is always a winner. If you can add a lolly to the mix, all the better.

As I couldn't get the hose to work yesterday, the wheelie bin only had a swill, so I will ring Binbusters. I'd rather not spend £1.50 a fortnight for someone to hose out the bin, but moving house again would be more expensive.

Wow plum! You really are very talented! Grr at having to move some though.

Wasting pmsl at having to move house again, hopefully current neighbours aren't complete nutters like the previous one?

Walked to supermarket to buy lollies and nail varnish remover. Fit man count 2 (glad I went!) Was going to go to park on way home but ds was sleeping and dd said her lolly was the best treat ever so decided I could get away with not. Passing 12 year old boy told me I gave him a boner

Have moved them and am actually happier with her dads arm, but I think I've been stuck in house to long, had to take 2 migraleve

Freak - well done with avoiding the park, lol!

We went and the boys loved it and even left nicely when the school kids arrived, but we had been there well over an hour by then.

Plum - they are seriously fab!! Are they representative of the people & what they will be wearing? ie is the bride's dad (i'm guessing) tall & skinny? is the bridesmaid rather ahem, buxom?!

Brides dad has white hair, yeap they are based on the info she gave me,
her mum old womans blow dry,
his mum a typical little granny with white hair & glasses in pale blue,
Looked brides dresses up on internet so they are as close as I could do.

Thing is, if her parents swap, there'll be 3 women sitting together in the middle, not that it always has to be man-woman-man, etc. but...

Can't find the key for the gas meter box, DH prob has hidden it somewhere safe, with his work pass

Morning everyone Had a good day yesterday, managed not to have a row with my Mum about the wedding.
Nightmare night with DS, he was awake from 3-5am howling, we think teething. None of us woke up until 8.30 so bit of a mad panic as I need to be out of the house at 10am.

Plum - breathe, it will be fine

DONE
All up
Me showered and dressed
Breakfast

TO DO
Get washing off the line
Get changing bag out of car from yesterday and re-pack
Put nappies on to wash
Go to sing along and smile
Back to a friend's for lunch
Home

Then I will do another list once I'm back.

ok ok ok I need to focus.

Have near enough sorted the living room floor, and DS2/3's room.

Bathroom is looking a little better

Kitchen still awful, in here not great, my bedroom - well disaster zone - piles of clothes and heaps of clothes EVERYWHERE.

Think I'm going to leave in there and just say I'm having a huge clothes sort out (which is true - it's just it's been on going for the last 3 months LOL)

DONE

Load of washing on
Bathroom bin emptied
Boys bedroom floor tidied up
DS3 dressed
Green bin brought back in
