    Right all bulk cooking is done!!!!:)

    My friend came over and was eating the bolognes sauce......then asked me would i cook her a batch!!! Lol i said i would as she is taking DS1 to get his hair cut with her son!! Apparently her son does not like going to the hairdresser as he has been growing his hair to look like a rocker....My DS is the same so we came up with the idea of bringing them both together and they can support each other through the ordeal:)...Us mums huh? do anything to get the kids looking half decent for going back to school!!!!

    Dusty - my children are 23, 25 and 28 but only the youngest still lives at home (and she's hoping to move out in the next couple of years). When they were young I fantasised about having time on my own, but it's not half as much fun as you think. And I'm about the least maternal person you could find.

    Down at the bottom of each post there are 3 buttons, they're blue.

    Click on quote then you can quote someone's words. You can select and delete some of it but don't delete the word quote.

    They're not particularly on the fly list but I've blitzed the computer room whilst watching Miss Potter on BBC iplayer.
    Have got a binbag full of rubbish inc pens that don't work anymore and reams of lecture notes and research notes that I no longer need. Text books aren't alphabetical but they're all on the bookshelf instead of all over the desk and floor.

    Also washed and dried 3 lots of washing and loaded the dishwasher. Will move onto our bedroom when the film has finished, lol.

    Ooh thanks Bettie - you've just reminded me that I had some washing in the machine to put in the TD, and the DW needs emptying.

    Off topic, but what does your signature mean? I know it's latin, but it's so long since I did it at school that I can't remember.
    Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.

    It apparently means if you can read this, you have too much education.

    Not that I've ever done latin or anything (thank god for google I say).
