The problem is though, that the house really is a mess. That's no joke. It's a little bit tidier now. I just don't do housework. I find it quite tiresome that you do it, and then six months later you have to do it all again. LOL
Okay, I will give you instalments. Here's hoping there are instalments to give!!!
I've decided to spell his name wrong when I drop him a note on the basis that it's an unusual spelling and if I spell it right he might guess that I googled him.
I only did that because I saw someone on t.v. commenting on Peter Phillips' bride who didn't know who he was initially. The lady was saying surely everyone googles a man's name when they meet him. So I did. So there. But now I have to pretend that I don't know how to spell his name. Oops!
Next instalment
I was sitting deciding what to write in my note when there was a knock at the door. I nearly jumped out of my skin! He'd come to look at the garden. He met Little Mint and was quite nice with him and then I got him to dispose of a dead rat off my lawn.
Who said romance is dead? LOL
We walked him home as LM was off to his piano lesson. I said I would have offered him a coffee but we needed to go and he said I could make him one when he comes to do the garden.
So, I just need to decipher whether it's me or my garden he's after!
omg minty......I think that is a great whoooo hooooo .........put him to work straight away your a girl after my own heart!!!! That did make me laugh is he after me or the garden!! good luck love enjoy! hmmm if he really is inspector morse sp? ask him who killed the rat? hmmm dreams are good esp the drinking and the walking in the countryside!
Off on holiday for a few days so need a break at the moment life's been a tad mental over the last few weeks.
We have an ofstead inspection in August lasting over 4 days I have been dragged into promote equal op's.....told them it was the summer holidays how fecking equal op's is that then to damand an inspection? lol work is great so I am sure it will go well I am so very proud of my boss, a woman with great drive and insight!
Mrsf bless you with your boys in spain, the first few days of peace are great then it gets a bit weird doesnt it! or not, no smelly socks washing up ooh bloody bliss! I do lurve my housefull but I often think back to my single moments and think oh I miss them sometimes, lol you can never please a woman can you!!
waves to everyone else!!
Have a lovely break Scrummy.
Step-mum having her scan today so I'm keeping everything crossed that things aren't too bad for her. I was hoping to visit her but I've got a raging sore throat and it wouldn't be fair to infect her with my germs when she's got so much going on already.
Keep well everyone.
xx
Keeping it all crossed for you mints
hope its good news.
And its definately you he wants
Waves to Scrum driving off in the distance for her holibobs hope you have great weather.
Treating my self to a manicure today. Scrums right, first few days were bliss without everyone, now beginning to feel a tad lonely. Middle son isn't the best conversation maker and I think he said about ten words to me last night. He really is a man who uses one word answers LOL. any woman who marries him will find him very frustrating!
Meeting up with friend tonight for natter, whilst her hubby watching football in next room.
happy holibobs Scrum
oh, more romance on the thread Minty! and fingers crossed x
enjoy the me-time whilst you can Mrs F
hope this wet weather clears before friday - off to the lakes for another race
Wonderful news. The scan was clear and they gave my stepmum a hip replacement this afternoon. This was the best possible news. I'm soooooo relieved. I was starting to have dizzy spells again which I know was more than likely down to worry. That was a really scary few days. Still can't go and see her because I'm full of cold but very very happy that she's going to be okay.
I can turn my prayers to the weather now for Northern. Here's hoping that the rain clouds stay away from the lakes.
As for the romance ... I noticed yesterday that he's shorter than me. That doesn't bode well in my books. Am I being too fussy? I like my men tall dark and handsome. He's a nice bloke but ...
that's great news about step mum Minty
and thanks for good weather prayers
and D is my height
post race refreshment on sunday
D is on the left, me on the right
Looking good Northern.
Same height is a world away from shorter!!!!
Is that a pint!!!! ooh er LOL.
Mints I can totally identify with that. I'm 5ft 11 and longed for my partners to be taller than me (hubby's 6ft just) ex OH was 5ft 11. Once went out with a sailor (oh god hate admitting that!!) he was 5ft 9 and I hated walking down the road with him. Mmmmm very difficult that one Mints.
Relieved you had good news too
Hubby flies back tonight, looking forward to having them home now. Expect this time tomorrow it'll seem like they'd never been away and washing basket with be full
t'is a pint
just obeying RW when they said beer was a good recovery drink
happy homecoming to the Fs
and the sun is shining
Hello all!!!! been living in the land of revision for god knows how long now, but will be out the other side at the end of this wkend. My Tax and Law exams are monday and tuesday and then I'm freeeeeee!!
Well not really! but free from college for a few months anyway!

xx
He he hark at JB, long time no see Johnny tsk naughty boy where you beeeeeeeen.
Great stuff laura, just in time to enjoy the summer (not!)
Well hubby and I have decided to move house [gulp], We want to better ourselves slightly, so move about ten mins away from here. Something a wee bit smaller will do but a nice big garden and not overlooked. Got a valuation on Thursday.
Know its not the best time to be selling but that will be balanced out by a good time to buy we hope..... we'll see
Kebab on order, hubby picking it up enroute from work.
evening gang
quick fly in and out....holiday was smashing over far too quickly mind!
mrsf don't move too far away took me an age to find your home last time lol!! whooo hooo house warming do at mrsf's lol! I guess that's the right way to do it, get the kids to move out then quickly up and move! cunning plan mrs f.... very cunning!!
JB has become a wise sage....may be I should take to the bottle and see if I find enlightenment!! sadly worrying is a big concern of mine, but I am learning that somethings are just out of your control!!
right sending loving hugs and healing hands to our injured! it's such a bind it really is! darn bodies packing up on ya!!
mwah x
Exams finished today......
...and I ran in the rain.
Life is good
yay!!!!
lets see more smiles
and some more
XXX
Aaah, congratulations Laura. I hope they went well.
Very stressful time for me at work with marking and getting everyone through exams and final assignments. Eeek. I've been working until midnight most nights (at home of course).
Well he came and did the garden, very nice too. He also put a massive bill through my letter box. Not too fussed really - not only is he shorter but he's almost a pensioner and I've still got another 20 years of work left in me.
Right. Better get on, busy, busy, busy.
snigger gardener ..... minty discuss age.. and a bill lol
whoooooo hooooooo Laura
we need some of these
Hope your all well
mwah
some more of those!!! wouldn't let me do more yesterday, said my post was 'too big'??!!
I start my bday celebrations tomorrow and the big day isn't until sunday, yey!!!
THUD!!!!!!!!! drops in knackered. House selling is exhausting. Third valuation being done in a mo. Been told already by last two that middlesons bedroom really could do with being a more neutral colour LOL at the mo its the same colour as the B&Q logo - bright orange! So hubbys re-doing oldests room, I'll be painting middle sons tomorrow.
Been through virtually every cupboard de-cluttering, now know the blokes at the tip by first name
Just the loft left to do.
Hubby fishing today leaving me in charge to chat to nice estate man.
So thats me.
Happy birthday for sunday Laura
Evening gang

Right, sorry I've not been around. Have been working away from home and crazy hours to boot! Not much time for running either AND I've got a cold
at this time of year, too! Think I'm just a bit run down (pardon the pun!). Hope to get out for a decent run on Sunday morning (if my nose has stopped running by then 
)!
