Morning ladies! :wave:

lil_me We were holiday neighbours for a while we were in Northallerton, and yes it rained the entire time for us too lol

Nicki There you are, sorry you're so stressed x
Kaz Thanks for the tip re: EMA/bank details, I've decided to take him tomorrow morning (don't need a appointment on Saturdays) and I'll definitely ask them for a print out of details and post it off with the form. Cheers. x

Litteys on her way to Bognor Regis as we speak so I've got an entire week without kids (teenies rarely in) so I was thinking of making the most of it and asking OH for a date night, we don't get to see that much of each other really, probs about 2 hrs per day and then kids are around, but he's not one for going out so we'll see. He's staying over that's for sure he's been tellt already

Got work for 5 hrs today so I'll see what I can fit in fly-wise around that.

List:

pay rent - URGENT :rolleyes:
hoover through downstairs
delegate the kitchen mess to teenie - *sniggers*
delegate the stairs mess to teenie
put rubbish out
make master bed

That's not much - 10 mins tops. Mind you BIG entire house clean tomorrow, yes, I'm still doing that, it's what works best for me.

Ooooooh, Original Source Mango & Macadamia shower Gel, GET SOME, it's the absolute bees knees, can't wait for another bath tonight so I can use it again :j

Right, second brew time then best get dressed for work

laters gators :hello: x

Hi pigpen, GCSE results due Thursday 21st according to DD's head teacher, and I've also googled it - I thought originally it was the week after (it's always a Thursday), as it's usually two weeks after the A levels, but it's been brought forward this year it seems.

DS went out on the town last night, and didn't come home :eek: fortunately, he left a message on the phone at 7am to tell me he was round a friend's - I hadn't started panicking - almost!

I'm not doing the kids' rooms - well, I may do the bedlinen! They are big enough to shovel them out themselves.

I think as it actually isn't raining, I shall go down to the allotment.

Today's unanswered questions:

1. In the 30 years I've known OH, he has never participated in any sport of any description. So why, when there is any big sporting occasion, does he spend every waking hour in front of the TV?

2.I have spent the past five days doing non-stop washing, so why is the laundry bag still overflowing?

3. What are we going to have for dinner?

Answers on a postcard please!:D
