Another hot one here today, off for Tates last swimming lesson in a mo.

Oooo Sal I might just have to go look there today, thanks for th tip.

Basl, I am getting on fine with the packing thanks I hate packing though, it ranks riht up there with ironing.

Morning, nothing exciting happening here today!

Am on the look out for Lunar Jim toys/dvds if anyone has any or sees any please?

This time next week we will be on our way to Cornwall - yay!

Morning everyone, Sal hope you have a relaxing time at your Mums and i now know Toy story is the way to go.

I have woke up this morning in the most fowl mood. I am so hot and honestly snapping at the least little thing. Stressed out to the max. Not felt like this for ages. So we are off out now the rain as stopped to a little animal center with picnic area etc with my sister. I am should really stay in and wait on scuttlebug but i really have to get out or i will have a loooonnnnnnyyyyyyyy tune fit.

Sure i will feel better when i get back. Hope everyone has a great day. xxxx

Morning all,

My gran did all the holiday ironing yesterday. I have put everything in the case and it is way too heavy Am going to have to repack and take a holdall too even the weight out!

More next items have arrived, still waiting for 3 pairs of sandals that i am hoping will come before we go on sunday.

basl, i feel like that today too. Hope you have a nice day out.

I am putting off my holiday ironing Geek - though usually do it the night before. Think I'll make my list today. Am dreading how much stuff we will have. Need to get our car back so we can start experimenting with seat positions etc. yikes!

i hate getting ready for holidays its so stressful.

basl i so know where you're coming from. I get so stressed out too with these boys. I've currently just put Tate on a tv ban as im sick of his attitude and constant answering back! he's not happy. But should hit him where it hurts! he's playing toy story lego before we go to nursery.

Maxy i have some lunar jim stuff and a couple of books will sort through when i have a minute.

It's the weather I swer it. I am soooooooo tired, bad night and so blinking warm, but raining really muggy though.
Oh and I go tmy period - not that you all needed to know that but it doesn't help matters!

Off to shop for some lunch me thinks.

James has been terrible too, really bad. i tild him last night if we have anymore of it, he isn't going camping. Hmph!

Nic that would be fabby thank you x

i think Tate is bored he needs to go to school he's so excited about it. it is really warm here too. Im off into t/wells take some bits back to m&s and have some retail therapy. i will look through bits later maxy and send you pics, did you want those pj's all in one?

Im baking Misdee`s banana cake now, Its smells lovely already. My friend made it last time and she said it was very soft light sponge cake.
We have Lunar Jim toy, a girl with scooter Ds never plays with it
Maxy i will email you asap.

Nic will leave pjs thank you. Worried they will be way too big!

Ooh I love banana cake - my favourite one is the weight watchers recipe, really moist! not made that for years. really need some baking equipment, hardly got anything.

Might try the banana cake. I don't normally like it but love the Flour Power one which is very buttery and has frangipane baked on the top. We always have bananas going brown in the fruit bowl.
Got the black superlite liner today and not sure about it. One side is padded mesh fabric which I know on the Quest catches every crumb and keeps hold of it. The other side is smooth but I don't think it is meant to be used on that side really. Also it has velcro straps at the bottom but not the top so will have to see if it shifts about too much.

The Weight watchers one uses corn oil, it's so easy and yummy. Typically no bananas going off Am off to hunt out recipe now - your fault Diva!

Banana cake

2-3 ripe bananas
6oz sugar
8oz SR flour
4ox butter

sounds lovely ladies! i love a bit of home cooking me. Going to get seriously back into in september when i have EVERY AFTERNOON to myself yipeeee!

if anyone goes into next and sees boys snuggle fit pj's in 2/3 please can you get them for me?

Me too, but fed up of cooking all the time now and never having a meal cooked for me. Yaaaaaaaawwwwwwwwn

oh i spose im lucky there. Does your dh not cook at all? Alot men i know love cooking now.

He is excellent at cooking Nic - better than me! But never does it anymore - tis a bone of contention at the minute! When James was little he cooked all the time, was yummy! Not because he is a man who hasn't a clue!

I don't love cooking anymore because I do it everyday nearly ever day of the year and he doesn't love cooking because - no idea why! Granted some evenings, he comes home and works til silly o clock at busy times of year so we would never eat then if he did it, but once in a while would be nice.

Funny, because my Mum is having the same thing with my Dad and he always cooked too.

weird huh? i never get this thing some couples have 'oh i've been working all day ' (the h) because so has the wife so always think men should help out. Terry does loads of jobs when he's here. Does cooking every day mostly!

I am sick of cooking. The thinking up things to eat bit and then the actual doing it. Gah! I too do it every day and it is so boring. Plus the DDs are quite picky. Also [while I am at it] DP is not very appreciative.
It was lovely when sister was here as she cooked twice and all from scratch. I get a bit as I tend to wheel out frozen or very basic meals these days. Not inspired at all.
Micralite liner is going as it's not for me or DD.
Quest too I think [wibble]
