    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.

    Thanks.. I'll be prodding DS1 Thursday then.. My sis got hers on the 21st too.. I remember purely because it is her birthday!! She is 21 this year!

    Well I sorted all the Christmas decs out yesterday and it made me realise that we have had our last Christmas in this house and didn't know it at the time :( Really going to miss this place; it was always full of people at Christmas. Our new house is much smaller and 400 miles away so I think it will be a lot quieter for us; we will probably have to go visiting (but that does mean a lot less work for me :D ). Hubby says I am only allowed one tree this year :eek: :rotfl: :rotfl:

    It is less work for you!!...

    I am having 3 this year!!

    I've dropped the kids off, got some petrol and nipped into Asda and now I'm back and need to get stuck in.

    Who's ready for another HHC?

    Give me a time!

    I'm not sure I'm managing much.
    I keep getting side tracked by others things I see on the way...

    Anyway, list so far:
    My List:
    [strike]bathroom[/strike]
    [strike]ensuite[/strike]
    make toad in the hole for tea
    [strike]general tidy[/strike]
    hoover through
    [strike]DW[/strike]
    WM
    TD
    dust
    [strike]brush dog[/strike]
    compost
    recycling
    [STRIKE]s & s kitchen[/STRIKE]
    children's bedlinen
    [strike]sort out any leftovers in fridge and freeze[/strike]
    invoice
    images

    A bit better I guess. I think the washing is going to take all day, so I went get a chance to cross those off!
    DD has nearly finished her film, so I'll make a start on the hoovering then.
