    Was it Toottifrooti that thought we were all mega organised and super domestic goddesses? Well, I had to do washing today as I ran out of clean knickers. So thats how much of a domestic goddess I am.

    Hi SSL - thats being frugal that you only have 2 pairs - one on and one in the wash!! Glad someone else is like me!!

    But I still think you are ALL DOMESTIC GODDESS AND ANGELS so there!!!!

    How you can all juggle husbands/partners, children, pets, jobs, hobbies, housework and still have time to come on here - well it beats me - I am me, no partner, no job, no children, no pets and cant manage the housework!!!!
    How sad is that!!!!!!
    Enough of this - i am off to do my list of todays work acheived. see you shortly!

    Er no, actually 11 pairs in the wash and I had to go without :o I do have more than 11 pairs of knickers but the rest are in storage with the rest of my belongings ;)

    Dont beat yourself up either TF. I'd say its taken me a while to get to this stage, but I think the home baking will be sacrificed once I go back to work. Talking of which, my mums cooker is cracking me up. I baked 2 gingerbreads today, one burnt, the other not properly cooked :mad: Impressed with the silicone bakeware. Definately worth £1.99 ;)

    Oh and my mums pc is cracking me up too. She has it set to Brisbane time, so I am really confused with the freecycle emails as they are coming in as Brisbane time :confused:

    Had a lovely day with the gingergirls today whilst DS was off at Legoland having fun! Might not have got as far as I wanted with the office but did manage to stick BM on rather than run up to shop for bread for sarnies tomorrow. Bought bday prezzies for DD1 and DD2 and DH - some bad planning there - all within 7 days! (Tried to work out what happens 9 months before the girls' birthdays - but only came up with Hallowe'en):rotfl:
    Off to lounge on sofa with telly and DH for company!
    (Counting down the hours until Rupert is back on our screens tomorrow night!!:j :j )

    Hope you all dont mind me sharing this. Just had some bad news. Read in the local paper this evening about the body of a young man being washed up on a nearby beach.

    My DD has just rang to say its a friend of hers. He had left her house to go fishing last night. GS1 was supposed to go with him but didnt. Im so shocked I just saw him recently at hers. Have told her to ring the police as they want to know his last movements. He was only 28.

    I thought having mine, OH's and both boys' within 5 weeks was bad you've topped that! Halloween makes sense - "I'm scared, hold me...";)
