Morning all

I was really, really tired when I got in from work last night so didn't really achieve much though I did put the washing machine on and hung the finished stuff on the line and watered the garden.

I will do better this evening, I promise.

Have a good one

To defrag your computer, click on start menu, then "all programs", then "accessories", then "system tools", then on disc defragmenter. It makes your PC run quicker. I forget how it works exactly, but when you delete things, there are gaps left in the memory, and then when you load things onto the computer, it kind of fills in the gaps, so there are bits of the same program all over the same place, making the computre run slowly, because it has to waste time looking for little bits of info.
Or something like that anyway, my ex explained it to me, about 10 years ago!

Today's list looks far more manageable than yesterdays such a shame I don't have time to do any of it, as I'm going to the hospital with my dad!

Kids (age 1 & 2) are outside playing in the sandpit, they insisted. DS2 is still in his sleepsuit but managed to sling a jumper on him as it's not that warm yet.
Better go make OH's packed lunch and morning coffee (he's not even up yet, I'm such a mug!)

Bunny question - little monkey has started peeing all over the place when she is out her cage, usually on clothes if they are left anywhere! Any tips on getting her out of this habit?

Morning all

Two loads of washing out on the line including DD's bedding.

Bed remade.
Washing up done and kitchen S&Sd
It was sunny but now it's clouding up.

I'm just planning to vacuum through downstairs today. I've got Asda shopping coming between 10 and 12 (so 11.55 then).

Not much sleep last night: DD up coughing and wandering round which kept me awake. She's 23 so I don't need to do anything but I'm a poor sleeper anyway so it doesn't take much to keep me up and about 1.30 I got cramp in both legs at the same time, it was so painful and I was trying to be quiet! Very achy this morning.

The latter of course!! I love it.. and Tiddles was squealing with glee.. lol.. hubby looks so much less like a prawn now though!!

How did you manage to get near him with tweezers? Sometimes my DH has an eyebrow hair which sticks out, but he won't let me near him with tweezers.

I've seen men with bushes growing out of their ears :rotfl:
