    AnWs mum - it's hard NOT to panic when they're late though! When exH was out - and late back I used to mentally plan the funeral...and my life after (think it was when he went to footy matches) but that might have been wishful thinking :rotfl:


    Sexy - well done on the supply - top, discerning TA that! That's exactly what you need - round here many schools have their 'own' list that they use before the agency - can you not give direct numbers? I had a school for which I was 1st choice - always a booster to the old ego!

    With reference to this you can take them to the chemist to be destroyed - esp prescription stuff.

    Yes the sofa arrived.. it is a bit cheap looking but it was a bit cheap pricing too! lol.. It is clean and fairly comfy and functional and the extra sleeping space will come in quite handy I have 4 planning sleepovers already and my uncle, GF and baby possibly coming over for a week as from.. Wednesday.. day after tomorrow Wednesday of course!

    Forgotten something?? .. nah.. need to know basis and they don't 'need to know' I told you.. I'd wait until someone asks.. and if you ask.. I'll ignore you! :p I bottled out of telling my mother.. I am SUCH a baby lol.

    I have loads left on my list.. and cannot be faffed.. I am such a bad example of a 'leader' .. so I have decided to be a facilitator instead.. that way I don't feel obliged to join in lol.

    :happylove hello old mates :hello:

    sneaking in for a peek. Been trying to be a flylady on and off, some weeks better than others, my problem is posting on here, I love this thread and become so involved with all your lives, I hardly can tear myself away to do any work.. but I miss you all
    Miss Pigpen keeping you all in shape then? Golden fluffy mules and decorated talons to match? :grin:

    working on supply again so limited time in the house but I will do what I can.

    Going to read some of this thread so see what you all have been up to other than keeping your little castles spotless! :T :T
