Mine does that sometimes. The other week it went really tiny. No suggestions on how to get rid of it though other than reboot which seems to sort mine out.

:rotfl:I'm reading that at the moment too! Her books are fab, I've managed to read the first four in the series all in the wrong order which makes it a bit confusing at times.:rotfl:

I picked up her first 2 books at a booty. Managed to find the other 2 in charity shops. She is really good. Have you read any Sue Grafton books? She's really good too. I've been trying to collect the whole of the alphabet murders (that she's written so far, up to S is gor Silence) for the last 4 years. I refuse to pay full price when you can get them for 50p or so.

I'm on a bit of a roll today..... I so hope it lasts.

Morning all

Had my cousin's LO yesterday. She's 8 months old and teething, poor thing. She slept for a total of 25 mins between 7am and 7pm. So I was in my bed at 8.30 last night. I dont know how you all do it.

Oh and I met my tenant yesterday and she is lovely.

G&B, ifits and tinselfairy - hope the LOs are all well

AnW'sMum - you are a lovely mum. I'm very harsh. Nothing for good reports, but dont dare bring a bad one home :rolleyes:

Dusty - I love the quote of the day

Triker - well done on your Debt Free-ness! :T

Germish - I do like your signature

Right, think I need to make a start in the living room. It is a mess!

SSL xx

Pigpen thanks for the cuppa, just what I need
Kaz lovely to see you pop in
JillD that was nice of the Freecycle lady, shows some people really appreciate the offers which is lovely, well done at clearing that clutter.
debbiemc & winniepooh welcome
mumofjusttwo you might be right with the just so focused on what she's doing that she doesn't realise, maybe she just needs reminder (a clock that beeps every hour can help) but the likelyhood is you'll never manage to find exactly what it is but as long as it's nothing medical I wouldn't panic too much.
AnW'sMum big well done for your 2 on the good school reports good luck finding a holiday, I've been using the ukcampsite website to search for ones to ring round for us. Good news about the voucher, it didn't say what you would get so I just used the address you gave for the Christmas cards on the referal and thought if anything does come it'll be a nice suprise.

Just had a lovely call from a lady where we used to live, our DS2s were very good friends there from nursery school up, she's arranged a party for her youngest next Wednesday and invited us over. We're going to suprise both the boys not letting them know, I know DS2 will be thrilled, will be nice to catch up with them too, I know we had some problems there but also made some nice friends when we lived there.

Got a pile of things to do today, too much to be honest, again I struggle to think where to start but as it's Wednesday I should start with stripping the bed.

We should leave this lot hard at it some time and go sneak off for a coffee somewhere.. you could come to mine.. but it would take me 3 days to tidy up!!
