you would think with John Prescott been our MP for years we would have more affordable housing!
and there all just about empty, have been for ages
well got a milky coffee now to ease the bordum, :)

So what is the thinking on this???? I would have hoped to buy a 3 bed with a pool in the NE for that money....

I split with my Oh for a while a few yeras back (when they were 6 & 9) - and told thenm that Mummy couldnt do everything on her own and that we were a team and had to work together - otherwise we would live in squalor!! They were fantastic and helped out - went to pot a bit when I re-united with their father - but seems to be back to speed now it involves pocket money!!

A JOB - looking after these kids is hard work 24/7 - there was nothing in the marriage contract about being a loan parent...

Brandy please...I've been out so long today, I feel I have a sun tan glow...(even from Ice Skating)

It was funny - Puddleduck went wandering onto the ice after her session in her big boots....only to have got 1/2 way down the rink before I noticed oops :o when a lovely little man (teenager) came to rescue her....scooped her up and delivered her back safely...he was definately marriage material.

My daughter has discovered this Ann and she loves it - but she calls it a 'London Fog' - yuck! I love Earl Grey but with just a dash of milk. :)

Not for me, for Piglet...he was rather handsome too...

Anyhow, good morning.

Not much time to chat - I've had to go and get my sunglasses from the car so that I can see. I fell asleep with my glasses on and now I can't find them....:o

Looks like I'll be having a dark day.

Just the butter cream to make this morning and then I'm done...but I did forget to take the cheese out the freezer...opps
