Can't guess where that's from!, but serously I need a toy storage unit as all the toys are all over the conservatory floor, not an inch of space to walk. Do you have the name & price or link please?

Have the units in there bedroom but want one in the living room so the boxes are just stacked up on top of one another and hopefully they will have a little more choice.

Evening all

Busy day then staff meeting (shortish - phew) and marked one lot of books before I came home but have more to do. Mum was here having fed kids and made my tea - veg chilli I had made earlier. Usually she will clean my lounge for me on a Wednesday but - and I blame you all for this - she won't tomorrow - 'because it's so clean'. So flying has backfired.:rotfl:

Johanne – glad Sarah’s ok!

Polka – err ? how to choose? I like the chocs one but you made your choice – now do you want it testing?

Chunky – pleased your friend appreciated what you’ve done for her.

Thanks for the mention re DA MrsV – just so you know I am reading as you all fly without me…

MOJ2 looks like a job for stardrops then - the blouse!

AnW’s mum well done on the ironing!

Polka – wasn’t it Flower who suggested business link?

Ooh Hex – how cosy – and how you have flown!

Toots – needed a lie in then?

Mudbath hugs – no matter how inevitable and how expected loss still hurts.

I know who DFs are but what’s the abbreviation? Glad they sorted yours out Mrs B. Or you could name them a la Pigpen … Rover, Scamp, Rex & Sweep.

Ha RacheBud’s out of the closet – no longer a lurker!

Sexy - all that supply so soon in the term! Fab! - Spends for the hols!

Good luck at SW Juliejim

to you all - catch up later when I pop in to check Toots has gone to bed!

So much for giving yourself permission to stop! I just couldnt-I kept thinking...where will I roll out my sugarpaste? I even took the oven door off to clean:rotfl:
So I've had two hours of intense work(out)-I am so going to enjoy my shower later. Darn, and DF just called to say he's still at work:eek:He's supposed to be done at 6-and he's on public transport tonight:(
So now Im not sure if I should start something for supper or not
DS woke up from his nap screaming blue murder-carried on a good 10 minutes. Got him a new nappy and a drink and now we're sat on the couch watching telly....
I dont feel so bad though-take away supper and there is nothing left to do anyway:j

I have done flying - " the flying around like a blue ar*ed fly today, no cleaning though, yet.
Orthodontist was ham fisted this morning with DD and she has an extremely sore mouth, poor thing and it is her birthday tomorrow

Thanks Lil-me for the half price MOT offer and tip re telling them that you won't let them do repairs.

I love this little one!! thanks, it made me laugh, can't remember who posted it.

Don't know what I am doing behind the computer because the house is a tip, I have folded, unfolded washing all over the table, kitchen floor a disgrace, still a birthday card to finish, presents to wrap, washing to put on, and not even as much as a little strike through on the list..

Right, better do a Half hour, be back later....
