    SexyM you have acheived heaps today - good luck with the sale, I really could do we doing one but can't face it. Think I'll do the NCT nearly new to shift some more stuff and send DS1 with Mum next time she does one with a box of stuff not suitable for the NCT sale.

    I've really had enough of the garden now so just going to prune the plant round the front door so that area is finished and then call it a day and have a shower.

    I'm now filthy but it's sort of getting clear. Wendy house is going across the road to my mate's.

    Right off I go again!

    G&B are you sure it's not the same person trying to attract your attention? lol
    Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.

    Polka- I sympathise over the tv – my DH loves his too and I let him clean it all (he bought a special cleaning kit!)
    Jo1972 – welcome. This thread is way better than the American ‘proper’ flylady
    GnB – good news about the rabbit. My stepdad is allergic to cats but loves them so much he has one and takes antihistamines every day!! Hope that guy is ok.
    Ssl – seems a bit silly having to take that down. We can’t put anything up in our office as it’s a completely hot-desking office so we have to clear everything away each day and log out of phone and pc etc and sit wherever there’s a space!
    Nicki – how did the house hunt go?
    Hate to say but rent up there sounds very cheap – we pay £900 a month here which is cheap for the area. And my boss says that life in/around London is not any more expensive than up north (specific argument we’re having is over Sheffield & Manchester where our counterparts get paid the same as us)
    Kaz – hope the injections are doing some good and OH isn’t too sore!
    Mo4 - well done
    Triker – great on the weight loss. I desperately need to drop a stone as nothing fits any more…just no motivation!
    Lil_me – sounds like you had a lovely time.
    Pigpen – men are so annoying when they blame everyone but themselves. Hope things are ok though. Your DH sounds like mine…
    sm - i'm jealous with all your baking etc, really want to buy a food processor...but being me i want a magimix!

    DH has finally finished studying, and moaned that it smelt of f*rt in the lounge when he came in *smiles innocently*, he;'s now playing mario kart on the wii, i'll have to join in soon too - love it! fancy a beer but we have non...

    I have not done anything since my last post-Put DS down for a nap at one and was kneeling on the floor with my head leaning on his legs as is the norm-and about an hour later DF came to ask how long I'd been there:eek: My knees have been numb since. The lady over the road asked DF if he would mind coming to fix her pc-she got a new one and something is wrong with it. Now DF is VERY cross with me coz he's been there all day. The problem is she had a pentium (one of those really old ones) and shes now bought an Assus. The pentium was on XP and the new one is on vista-but she wants the new one to look like the old one:rolleyes:
    He also came in here reeeeeeking of cat wee! He is not a happy camper and keeps back and forth with the tower. I feel so bad
    Jo or anyone else-what is a mystery shop? I tell you what when my dad comes to visit next year his going to shocked at the new things Ive learned since I got here:j

    Is it raw or cooked? Whole or in pieces?
