    Pollybear – beautiful cactus. I’ve had one for about 25 years that’s never flowered once!

    G&B ouch! For your legs – but not your bank account!

    Pigpen – hoping your sister is ok and that everything progresses well.

    Well I am going to boast because I have made 10 and a half jars of Bramble Jelly - I had 5 pints of strained juice so it had to be 'jammed' in two batches!
    Kitchen doesn't look too bad - few purple stains will need bleaching out! See you later!:wave:

  • Again sorry,

    I was broken into on Sat nite, the F***ers stole the kids laptops, my purse, mobile,games, Ipod, Camers, DVDs, amongst other stuff.....DD found them in the kitchen at 05.30 on sunday morning, and she was so brave she quietly walked to my room, opened the door and then shouted mummy there is someone in our kitchen, by the time i got to the bedroom door, the front door slammed and i heard them running away, so police and csi and cid came out and recovered some dvds, and also got some fingerprints on the window, I am insured but it makes no difference to the LO as she cant sleep and the boys keep waking up in the middle of the night thinking they can hear breathing!!

    I am so proud of DD the police say if it wasnt for her, they would have stolen the car too as they had taken the keys also:( Such a carp weekend!!

  • Oh mum of four - that's awful! Huge hugs to you and the children. Your DD was very brave - what a star!

    Pigpen - prayers for your sister.

    Valli - I'm off to Asda in a mo then going to do some planning this afternoon!

    Oh and my pegs don't all match but I do peg clothes in a certain way and have to have a pair of matching pegs for each item. And socks have to be pegged out in pairs (with the same colour pegs of course)!! Should I be worried :rolleyes:
