Polkadot I was born in 1983 and the song that was number one on my birthday was Karma Chameleon by Culture Club! Now who feels old then?

:eek: :eek:


jo1972 - thanks for the recommendation!! I feel another trip coming on - maybe October half term!!!!!!!!

Am now looking out my old Take That videos (from the first time round) and educating the children how music should sound!!! DH wanted to throw them away last month - but I put up a fight. NOONE COMES BETWEEN ME AND THE TAKE THAT BOYS!!!!

Afternoon all

Two loads of washing done, including DD's bedding, I was just starting to get it in when the rain came down and luckily I managed to retrieve it all dry. All folded and put away. The sun is back out now so I've put the throws in to wash.

Dusted the living room and vacuumed right through downstairs.

Spent an hour in the garden digging out some hardy geraniums that are trying for world domination. Only managed to clear about one square yard and that was the green wheelie full and my back saying "no, I don't think so". I'll have another go when the bin has been emptied again......or some time..... I want to clear a lot of that border and put in some new stuff this Autumn. I'm sure some of the geraniums will reappear next year but I don't mind one or two. It was the one or two hundred that were getting me down! I'll have to keep on top of them in future

Hope it doesn't take you too long to tidy up pigpen - hugs.

I've been into town and done my jobs there so I'm going to have a look at DS's bedroom.

Anyone up for a HHC 1-1.30?

Dusty – You have shown true friendship there - de lousing someone else's kids (mind you I can see that it's in your own interest to ensure as many kids are as nit free as possible!)

Pigpen - maybe delousing on an extra mission list before kids go back - then we start the new term clean (too late for those North of the Border, I know)

Cha97michelle – good to know part timers are welcome – I’ll stick around then - Thank you.

Kazwookie – panicked about life in general:rotfl: :rotfl: ! Never though of that as an achievment before - maybe I'll add my stressful dreams to the 'acheived' list one day! Oh, I have some STUNNERS! Well done on the home grown spuds!

Serena – thanks for the tip - Rose and Lavender MMM...

Polkadot – ah – think it was Vanilla who'd been to Jo'burg
I am transplanted - but only from two counties away!.

Sexymouse Mof77 Polkadot G & B and the rest of you...
– er – purlease – no more birth year confessions you are all making me feel so old. Note however, ages of DS (14) and DD (12) Nobody guesses my real age Buhahahahahahaha:rotfl: :rotfl:

Friday's list (wherever it was) is being whittled down
2 duvet covers on line:T
Beds about to be changed.
Pigpen - enjoy the cheesecake and the vodka - well deserved ! Shall I pop round with my trusty iron? and dusters?

Galadriel - you must be about my age then;)
