Spring is here....

and the cleaning has not yet begun!!!!!!!!

I'm bored and I HATE being bored.

The house is a mess as usual but as my lovely (and very blind) friend Jen keeps telling me... "it's only toys and what do you expect in a house with three kids??" - I think I can go with that one! haha

No but seriously, the washing is on, the kitchen is clean and Rich is out so its all good. Thought I should probably take 5 minutes to update this place as I haven't been here since Xmas, I'm terrible I know!! I'm sure that your lives have been incomplete without my thought provoking posts. heh.

Sooooooo what have we done?

Well we had visitors in February. Rich's Dad Keith and his wife Liz came to stay with us which was great fun as usual.

Angelina set the tone by the first words out of her mouth after he'd arrived and given lovely presents. I asked her to put something away and she said in her best and most broad Yorkshire accent "Mummy, yer a pain the bloody arse!" - quite. Thankfully, Keith thought it was hilarious and she made me laugh so much that I had to go pee instead of punishing her.

So that was that, there was much fun to be had all week, especially as their car kept breaking down everytime they left the house and we'd get a phonecall asking for an AA number or sometimes they'd just phone up to swear at someone!

They were only here a week but we filled it with fun, including a trip to watch Rich's band play in Bradford. They were good actually, I was suitably impressed...lol that makes it sound like I wasn't expecting to be but you know what I mean.

Since then nothing much has happened, the kids have been off school for Easter and so we've been spending a lot of time with Tracey, Shona and Zakk, making easter baskets and painting eggs etc and doing it all in Tracey's dining room too so she saved me a job in tidying up bless her!!

I have some pics of the kids to upload, which as soon as I manage to prise the camera from the sweaty palms of my hubby I shall do it. This could take some time....
