    Hi all
    Can't believe how many pages I've had to catch up on. Didn't get much done yesterday - went to MK and then to Costco to stock up. Some brilliant bargains to be had in John Lewis - got a pair of silk pj's, a fantasie bra and 3 pairs of pants for £26 should have been £139.
    Not done much this morning either apart from a bit of washing, ironing and emptying the dw. I've been dying my hair instead.
    Going to have a massive cleaning spree tomorrow because I'm off to the doctors this afternoon.
    Have a good one

    Pigpen can't you just order a repeat prescription? I just have to phone or put a little order slip in to get a prescription for DS2s (not that it's working)

    Davgirl that sounds like some great bargains, if I had the time I'd pop through to our nearest one, fantasie bras ain't cheap! Think I will have a quick look online, can usually guarantee nothing in my size.

    Studying not going well, it's really hot, I need to find the fan because I am cooking in the conservatory. I can't find the disc so I can't put the programme on another computer :( Just had some lunch, feel kinda sick now, stomach cramps through the night and still now since about an hour after I took the tablet yesterday.

    Justamum it's horribly hot here now but we're forecast for rain, storms etc later on this evening.

    I should get back to studying :( ttfn
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    Whizzing through to say that on the first day of July it looks like I am totally stuffed with the grocery challenge, the flylady seems to be out of the window and I have more ironing than I thought I had clothes.

    DS is currently chuckling in his playpen. I wonder what he has got up his nose this time. It seems a shame to disturb him for lunch, but I will in ten mins time.

    But first off to unpack shipping order from Sainsburys.

    I don't believe it - the little 'darling' is going to sleep - and the cat is trying to go to sleep on OH's very expensive touch sensitive thingy. Sigh. Off to wake up DS so he actually eats something today!

    btw, the only good thing - I have a shiny sink!
    Always another chapter

    You are kidding!! It is a nightmare our GP surgery.. and I can't change because noone else will take DS2 on as his growth hormone is so expensive!. The school nurse got us an appointment for 10:20 on Monday though.. why couldn't they just do that for me?? The shool nurse and I are now on first name terms lol.. HAHA!! ..

    Afternoon all, been invigilating all morning so just scoffing lunch.

    PrettyPennies I'm glad you got so many jumpers back

    Hev cuddle whilst you can, I did practically zero housework when mine were littler and I don't regret it one bit. I hope that Sainsburies delivery had no diet coke in it:p

    Michelle - hope Sam is ok

    Going to do a quick list and zip up to Mr T, I'm doing 2 exams tomorrow so won't get to go then and Thursday car is away for MoT.

    Flying is not really happening in the Dusty household this week but hope to catchup a bit later.

    Cookie - I hope the HV was of some help to you. My DS3 was really difficult at that age so I put him on the IQ oils and the difference was quite amazing. Even now if he doesn't have them for about 10 days his behaviour deteriorates.

    :mad: No sexy Irish guy from talktalk, your not actually offering me a cheaper service, yes I do know what I am payinmg on line rental calls and broadband and like I told that bint that called 5 times before you, I am not interested thank you goodbye! :mad:

    Can't they understand this? AOL is £9.99 a month, no, not for 3 months for the duration of the contract, it was an incentive to go back with them. They have offered me free calls also, no not for £5.00 a month, for FREE, yes FREE. Yes £9.99 for broadband and calls. No £10.50 line rental from BT, yoru £11.00 linerental is more expensive as is your £14.99 for broadband and calls.

    When I say DO NOT CALL ME AGAIN!!! and hang up, I do actually mean it! :mad:

    And my lunch is not as nice as I thought it would be :( I hate tasteless food. and cold callers fromtalktalk
