General chit chat thread.

That is SO organised!!! I remembered yesterday that I need to renew my passport before this upcoming trip - looks like I'll be taking a trip up to town to sort that out...

Have a good day, Claire. I really don't think the sun is making an appearance in my neighbourhood...

It is very organised, even for me...but when we used it for the first time last December I used to get annoyed with DH as he was faffing around for ages putting in the addresses whilst I didn't know where I was driving too so I don't want a repeat performance this time.

Hope you get some sun today....it's rather grey here at the mo.

Later on (definitely post-coffee ) I'm having a go at transferring all photos and music from this laptop onto a separate hard drive!!! So please keep your fingers crossed for me, people!!! The reason for such excessive tech behaviour is this laptop needs a tune up so I'm taking it to the Genius bar at Bluewater's Apple store this afternoon and want them to also return it to it's factory settings so DS Samuel can then have it...

Actually there might be a delay - my IF&WF guide has arrived!!!!

Glad you managed to sort everything on the hard drive....They are great, we have two almost full one's with all our music & digital photos on....will have to get another one when we get back from WDW.

How was the gym session?

Where did you get your IF&WF guide? I have only seen the online pdf but would love to get a proper guide.

It's been lovely & warm here today

DH has been back to the hospital for a gastroscopy this morning, and then he made biscuits with our DD's, before returning back to the hospital for my app with the Heart failure nurse!

Glad your DH is on the mend Karen.

I'm hoping it will be nice enough to get my washing dry. Mind you I need to buy a new washing line as one of mine (I've only a short garden so I need 2 lines to hang a complete load of washing) snapped last month.

It's very grey at the moment but the sun is trying to break through.

Hope you manage to get it all dried. Thats the worst bit about coming back from your holidays.

...I have just made a chocolate banana cake, waiting for it to cook. Its the 1st cake I have made so hopefully it will turn out alright

And how was it???? Sounds delicious...

Hope your DH keeps improving, Karen...

Morning all ! its chucking it down here today, i feel a day of cleaning is in order

EEK!!! Fancy popping round mine afterwards and giving me a hand, Nat...?

Same here - it's quite warm already...

Aaaahhhh!!! Now I understand...

Blimey!!! How many photos do you have????? I backed up all 3 Macs and didn't seem to use much of the hard drive at all. It's the 'Clickfree' one and was soooo simple - love it. Only way it could've been better is if it was pink - it's metallic blue...

Gym session didn't happen. Can you believe I couldn't find my trainers - and how embarrassing did it feel to explain that to the trainer???!!! Turns out that DH 'tidied' them away in my Spanish absence which means he put them in his gym bag under the stairs - how on earth was I ever going to find them there?? Fortunately I have rearranged to see her this lunchtime so all is not lost...

As for the IF&WF guide, I received one as I have a DDE card...

I don't know how many photos we've got......tens of thousands though!

A pink one would be good.

Now that is the poorest excuse ever!

I can just imagine how much you cringed when explaining that one. That kind of tidying away is all men know how to do .....find the most illogical place & put it there!

Ohhh - I knew it wouldn't be able to get one.

Happy Wednesday or, what I believe is also called, Hump Day!!!

The sky keeps switching from that odd dirty white (IMO it's unique to England) to a weak blue but it's still warm so I have a gazillion windows open already - which means I keep having to rescue butterflies and bumble bees... I'm thinking of getting a little fishing net for the purpose...

I sent the builder my 16-point list of amendments/queries yesterday so I'm on tenterhooks waiting to hear back from him - do they really know how to transform Taylor Towers into Beckenham Palace???

Really, really, really hope my new MacBook arrives today!!! It's seems like ages since I ordered it - that'll teach me to ask for extra pre-loaded software...

Have a great one...

Hi everyone,

just can't get organised today, DH is back to work after our holiday and the kids are bored and the house is like a bomb has hit it. All the washing from the hols is done but needs to be put away.
Ebony has toys everywhere from her birthday yesterday.

the kids are back to school on Tuesday and then it will feel like summer is over,

We went to the circus last night and it was really good, the kids laughed their heads off at the clown.

Anyway enough moaning I need to make the kids lunch now as they are starving apparently

 

[CustardTart]

The MacBook's arrived and it's super-sexy, sleek and gorgeous!!!

I'm in love and looking forward to an afternoon of 'puter play...

 

[tennisfan]

And how was it???? Sounds delicious...

It was lovely, even my mum complimented it & she is brilliant at making cakes

The finished product

Evening everyone.....

Today has been so boring, Kyra has developed some sort of stammer and keeps repeating her 1st word about 10 times before telling me the whole sentence...trying to ignore it like advised. She also seems to have a head cold or something as her voice has gone all funny aswell.

Though i did start a blog today if anyone is interested in reading, http://www.dreaming-of-disney.blogspot.com. Its mainly about Disney and my boring life. If anyone else has a blog that i can read please let me know.

I'm going to watch Confessions of a Shopaholic tonight, can't be as sad as Marley & Me.

I have started mine, I will post a link when I have some cheerier posts as I started with writing about my past. Felt good to write it down though.

Mine is prob going to get a bit depressing aswell.

Morning everyone, hope you all have a good day. I am just trying to get started, slowly getting over a cold that has zapped me of my energy in the last week so hoping to get a lot of jobs done today.
