We finally have little madams next hospital date: Friday 12th August. I'm hoping the surgeon will be more helpful this time and not ponce about like last time... idiot...
Little madam is off with her sisters today out with the grandparents :-) Hope she is enjoying herself.

We finally have some sort of garden now as we paid someone to come and strim down the all the jungle. We did however discover a bees nest which is in the most ridiculous place. Right in the middle of the garden by the path so we can't even corner it off. I'm a bit worried that someone will stand on it. The cacoon is on show and everything.

Got the paddling pool out yesterday. The girls really enjoyed it, even the other half got his trunks on and took a dip :O lol

Wish the kids would behave themselves. They have gone without so many treats just for being silly about little things and not listening. Feel like a broken record!! I have now drawn up a reward chart so hopefully they will be more inclined to sort themselves out... time will tell.

We have out new bed up now :-) looks quite posh and very out of place with all our other junk lol but once I have kitted the room out in other new stuff should all look verrrry niiiiiice :l-) Mitchel in particular loves the new bed as he spends the majority of his time on it lol I'm laying on it right now with Mitch whilst I write this and play online bingo. I'm totally offended that Socks chose the bunkbeds over laying next to me lol I'm also facing a massive pile of washing that needs ironing *sigh* I will try and motivate myself to get some done later today. Maybe when the family is watching Harry Potter on the tele.

I also need to pick out everyones outfits for Mondays family portrait in town. This is our last free photo session so want it to look really nice. Hopefully everyone will remember to smile and not blink as the picture is being taken lol.

The other half and I have found a nice way to spend lots of time together, and this is to watch all the series of Shameless. Something we both love lol I had never seen all the early series before. We are now on series 3 :-)

Anyway, might have a quick nap now whilst everyone is out. Make the most of the peace and quiet :-) x

Potty training today with little madam. She's already in her 'charlie and lola' pants. We've already had one accident oops! I hope she gets the hang of this soon, she already recognises when she is weeing in her nappy. She says 'wee wee' as she's doing it though lol

The other half is making a start on our bedroom today. He's making so much noise I can hardly hear myself think! We have no bed a the moment as ours broke. It's not what you think! It genuinely decided to break at 4am the othe morning :-( So we have had to bring our mattress downstairs and camp in the lounge. We have ordered a new one but it's not being delivered until next Tuesday :-( So annoyed coz I haven't even finished paying off the old bed yet!!

Got Smoo visiting this afternoon and possibly staying over :D yay! Think we guna try and play Mario online with Bruce :-) Might get a few bevvies going :P Mind you, can't drink too much as I am taking little madam down to Bude on Saturday so we can see my Nan and Grandma aswell as two of my cousins. Should be good.

I sat down with the other half last night to sort out our finances as we need to be on a tight budget for the next three weeks when the girls are down. We have parties and all sorts to take into account! Little Miss K will be 8 at the end of the month but she will be with heer mum then so I'm throwing her a party on the 7th here :-) I will take Little Miss J with me to Asda to buy all the party food etc so she doesnt feel left out. Luckily we have already bought presents and cards. Thank god for my OCD lol

Oh yeah one more think, looks like my IBS is getting worse, on lots of tablets now and had bloods taken yesterday :-( That reminds me, must pick up the rest of my tablets later today!

Best be off, little madam getting restless on the potty now, her bum must be numb she's sat so still! x

Hi all :-)

This year is going by so fast. We are taking the cats to the vets later for their injections... oh dear lol I hope they have a towel ready to fend off Socks when he gets angry lol

Unfortunately we won't be buying a car anymore as we just can't afford to pay for it each month or repair it if needed. So we are now back to focusing on the house. Going to start pricing up carpets etc...

Just found out that we have a babysitter for tonight so going to bingo with the other half and then watching the new and final Harry Potter at midnight :D wahooo bet the other half falls asleep, lol far too late for him lol. Anyway, we are really hoping things go well tonight with the new sitter so that we can go out more regularly :-)

Guna get little madam in pants this afternoon, got the dettol ready... hahaha :P x
