    Hi

    I've just been researching online whether it'd be cheaper to make calenders ourselves or get them printed. I'm not sure if they would be good enough to sell if we made them ourselves. We want to do a calender of our village to sell to raise funds for Toddlers. Does anyone know any cheap places?

    Toots - no worries - if you feel you need to get THAT far ahead, that's fine. I'll not beat you about. But please, don't mention it in in my presence....... :D

    I'm one who does THAT shopping on THAT eve and am only, really, dead jealous that other people can think that far ahead.

    Johanne & Kaz - I'm feeling so much better about being single! Sometimes it gets me down, but when other people let off steam I do feel that there are compensations :T

    Valli - hope the boiler is sorted in the morning. Did you get the guy's phone number... in case he's running late :rolleyes:

    I've got nothing done today - just about kept track of emails by doing a couple of hours before work and while trying to eat my lunch & get directions to my afternoon meeting. Four hours of contract discussions... And although they'd arranged a disabled parking space near the entrance... the meeting had been moved to another building, and was up the stairs with NO LIFT!!! OK, so I'm not usually particularly immobile, but today was a bad day, compounded by the fact that the battery in my tens machine was almost flat (it was by the end of the meeting), so I was NOT amused. It would also be nice if just occasionally there were other women at these meetings... :rolleyes:

    Changed, fed DS2 was down at 6.30 again, had 7oz of formula - but has been on the breast all day - will do another midnight feed.
    Made dinner, ate, fed DS1, washed and put away dishes.
    Whilst making dinner realised that the oven still smelt of oven cleaner - so had to rinse it out again.
    DS2 woke again at 7.30 wouldn't settle, quick 5 minute feed and he was down
    DS1 - bathed and in bed by 8.00
    DH - home around 7.30 - wahay - that's 2 days running - he read DS1 his bedtime story - gives me a chance to get on here.

    Right plan for the next couple of hours.
    Prepare veg for tomorrow's meal
    Wash and put away any extra dishes that always magically accumulate!
    Sweep kitchen floor.
    Shine my sink!
    Fold & put away all the clean laundry - which is now a mountain in the spare room - 3 loads worth and another load is still drying.
    Set out clothes for tomorrow for self, DS1 and DS2
    Cuppa
    Catch up on the posts - so sorry if I haven't acknowledged anyone yet.

    I think that is enough to keep me busy
    Housework only gets noticed when it's not done.
    My fake plants died because I did not pretend to water them.
    Can never keep up with the thread - otherwise I'll never get anything done! But hugs to All :grouphug:

    Hi all well done a bit and I mean a bit today, washes, dried, washed and hung out loads of washing.

    Cleaned toilet, ugh.

    Oh and got a new car.:D

    An ebay item, pushed the boat out, well stretched the overdraft actually and bought a car from ebay. It's fiat something and hopefully will last throughout winter. I do a lot of miles for my job and need something that goes.

    Hope you all had a productive day and I couldn't believe how warm it was this afternoon, I even put my sunglasses on.:cool:

    Evening ladies

    Hair sheared so I look less like Soappies dog - lovely as she is my hair goes like spaniel ears when it needs cutting.

    I'm tired now so not planning on much more other than setting the WM.

    Tomorrow one of my BFs is coming over for an ebay lesson so I should get a couple more bits listed whilst demonstrating.
