    Typical isn't it I want to watch 3 things ALL on at 8pm!

    Casualty, which I will tape for kids, Heartbeat ditto and Charley Boorman. Thing is if I don't watch at least 2 tonight I will not get another chance. Guess where I will be in 10 mins!

    Hugs for the Dusty household and hope you all feel better soon

    Soappie - hope you get the drain sorted - oops obviously not

    Jue - pity your Dh when he got in

    Hi Tia - hows it going. Ok read further. Sounds positive fingers crossed for a little gold mine. Sounds like your boys are doing well too.

    polkadot - that was some cake massive well done. It reminds me of the easter bonnet comp earlier this year. DD and I made hers in half an hour and my boss made her stepdaughters over a weeks hol. She was gutted when DD won as hers were way better but looked like they were bought they were so good - make it look home made and they sometimes stand a better chance (but obviously depends on the type of comp) Be proud of your brilliant achievement, wish I was that good.

    AnW's mum - so sorry for your friend

    update
    Plan for today (its Sunday so not going to overdo it as need to chill!)
    [strike]Hang washing out on line[/strike]
    [strike]Feed WM (and TD if reqd)[/strike] I found the bottom of the wash basket

    [strike]Meal plan[/strike] - still to do

    [strike]Baking perhaps[/strike] - bought in and hangs head in shame
    Uniforms - still to do
    [strike]Phone about Harleys EMA[/strike] done

    Froddington - happy to hear that your Dad is doing well!

    Pink Fairy - hugs to your DD, hope she is feeling better very soon.

    Soappie and Valli - may all your house repairs go smoothly! Wishing you lots of hot water this week!

    AnW's mum - that is such sad news, hugs to your friend and her mother

    Lil_me - hope you're feeling better now

    polkadot - that is a fabulous cake!! Congratulations!:j

    kaz and juliejim - hugs to you both, you both deserve a treat for being fabulous women!

    pigpen - I was going to post you an A4 pad of paper!;) I'm really looking forward to hearing about your course. Have you told anyone in the family about it, or just your flylady sisters?

    This weekend has just flown by. I'm still getting the knotted nervous tummy the day before work, but I'm hoping as I get more used to the routine and am more familiar with the materials etc that I shall feel better. DS1 has been brilliant about helping me with anything on the pc, although he has mentioned charging me. I said that I should really invoice him for cooking/cleaning/laundry etc, and that the two would probably cancel out...
    Went to visit Mum yesterday afternoon and DD came along. Mum was very quiet, and also had terrible coughing fits, so it wasn't the easiest of visits, but nice to see her anyway, and I think she like having us there.

    I managed a quick trip to the allotment today, and came home laden with veggies - oriental greens, salad leaves, french and runner beans, courgettes, carrots, and so on. Not much I shall have to go and buy this week!

    Have a good day tomorrow, I'll try and flit a bit in the evening, or catch up on Tuesday.
    It is never too late to become what you were always intended to be

    Though I will admit you lot know a great deal more about it than any of this lot.. the children are most amused I am 'going to school'.. I said 'well someone has to pay for you lot through uni!!!'
