    Morning! Or rather afternoon -just- cripes! All I've done so far is print some stuff off for work and bath the toddler - yikes. I will start on the wet laundry right away! Trouble is reading through this thread reminds me of even more things that need doing (MOT, pay electric,etc etc)

    I don't do any ironing. Hubby wears overalls at work and I'd rather we all looked crumpled, I just don't want to swap to being neat for the price of having to iron!!! Anyhow, I tell myself it doesn't really show!:o

    Good luck all
    ps Hannah Montana and HSM are the thing in this house too, when me and the girls start belting out the songs hubby gets quite cross! What fun!

    Morning, well afternoon everyone where is the day going. Been out in the garden and haven't even started the list yet but i'll get it done later as another kitchen fella is calling out so think i better.:rotfl:

    Kids driving me mad already and it's only the first day off, broken glass in the garden, running down the farm like mad things. :mad:

    Right cuppa then get changed and go get the car fixed, then B&Q for stuff for the veg patch and i need to leave books back to the library as they sent a letter opppps.
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.
    :j :j

    Awh now dont get me started re Consultants - the most arrogant bunch I have ever met. Was admitted to hospital a few weeks ago myself with chest pains - the consultant didnt speak to me rather above my head to her students - until I interrupted her to ask her name and would she like me to tell how I was feeling!! Trust me when I tell you I got the dirtiest look from the biatch.
    I also have to deal with them through my work and I could cheerfully strangle 90% of them - I know I now get an 'attitude' just by ringing their numbers - and I always refer to myself as Ms Clarke rather than by my first name cuz how many of them introduce themselves as humans!!!
