Looks like it's everyone round to Pigpen's place to help!!:rotfl: :rotfl:

Most of it is done now.. just need to find the kitchen again and some dirty troll has been sick in my back garden.. I don't DO sick and I think it was my sisters OH.. so I am so unimpressed!!!! ... I just want to cry now.. I wish I hadn't said my mtoher could have her party here and I wish I hadn't said hubby could go to germany.. only cos I don't want to clean up the sick!!!!

AND the children are bouncing off the walls this morning and I just want to cry.. and I don't WANT to clear up all the mess.. I never made it!

Dusty – You have shown true friendship there - de lousing someone elses 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 (to late for those North of the Border, I know)

Sexymouse Mof77 Polkadot 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:


Pigpen - enjoy the cheesecake and the vodka - well deserved ! Shall I pop round with my trusty iron? and dusters?

I'll add delousing for the weekend list.. that way those who are back at school can catch the first infestation too!!

My oldest is 17 and I am not old enough to be anybodys mum here!!!.. YET!!! lol

You are more than welcome to come round.. you all are.. especially as I am having a miserable day I would most likely just blubber on you though! and leave the iron and dusters.. you can just use my Henry.. he needs a walk about!

Afternoon all

Not getting very far today but have had half an hour in the garden deadheading and pulling some of the weeds from the drive. I need a whole day out there really but my arm is too sore for today.

Picked a big trug of tomatos so going to pop some more soup on later when DS2 is here to help.

Going to do one more HHC before DS3's friend arrives and see what I can finish.

GG yes the shop is precious soles and glad you had a great time last night

Can I just give up now? I've still got loads to do, the new boiler's being fitted Monday and Tuesday which means that the kids will be going stir-crazy as they won't be able to go out, I've only got 1 week left at home before I go back to work and I haven't even looked at any work stuff, Aunt Flo's due and I'm feeling peeed off!
