    Right I'm going to get everyone sorted and then we'll be off!

    If I get chance I might wrap some of DS's birthday present up while he's not here. It's less than 3 weeks to it so may as well get it out of the way!

    Level Three
    [strike]Clean 2 windows (did on Weds)[/strike]

    - Hoover or dust curtains and lampshades.
    - Get more DS cardi knitted.
    - sort through DS too small clothes.
    - Kitchen food cupboard inventory (1 at at time lol as theres lots and lots and lots of little things!).

    Edited to mark what I have done so far and added another two onto my list lol. Really finding it helps to do it first thing (ignoring my backache for now lol :confused: ). Right now its time for a shower, then brekkie for me and DS.

    I'll add you to the end of the very long list of people who want to come and visit me at work! Not only because of the Apache but because also because of the fantastic view from my office of extremely fit men in a variety of uniforms ;)

    When can I start work ;)

    PIGPEN!!!!!!
    My middle name is 'nag nag nag' (according to my 'almost' DF) and I am not going to let you off with this one!!!

    It is just as important as the smears - you must get it done - you and your family are very important and you would never live with yourself if anything happened to them because you hadnt changed the battery!!!

    DO IT PLEASE !!!

    Well said Tooti.

    Morning everyone.

    Not long been in from night shift. Plan is to catch up on here nip to the shop then bed.

    As much as I love my DD I could thump her at times. Last year she got letters from debt collecting agencies. To do with catalogue debts from years ago. Got her sorted with a very good debt awareness ageny here. Then yesterday another letter. Have told her to get back in touch with agency. They are threating to send baliffs. Part of me thinks I will just pay it off for her but she isnt going to learn. :mad:

    I take it we are using the Yahoo site tomorrow. I accidently deleted the invite to the Facebook one.

    Triker Have a great time on Saturday.

    Holly Bet you are glad the painting is finished.

    nicki Big hugs to you and your DD. Hope you had a peaceful night.

    Soappie Another one here who likes planes and helicoptors. When Im at the hospital The big Sea King often lands. There is also the air ambulance helicoptor. Have a lovely day.

    pigpen Tootie is right!

    DeniseNZ Hope your DSfeels better soon.
