    ***makes mental note to remind Pigpen that if she DID practise THOSE exercises fish tanks'd not be a problem***
    Oo err just got so stressed when kids DEMANDED showers drove them up to Mum's wailing (me not them) I haven't time for this I've got too much to do! What kind of kids want to keep washing?
    Passports - I cannot for the life of me understand why they are not cheaper to renew...it's one of those purchases that feels like such a rip off!
    Polka what a lovely neighbour you are - and what a big bath you've got...2 adults and 2 kids in there :rotfl:
    Hope you all sleep well.

    Ex has sent me an email to my ISP address - I have 26000+ emails in there as I don't use it :mad: I think I've found it, but thought I best check the other ones as well, incase anything has slipped through my "changing email addy" session. Can only delete them 100 at a time as well. :mad::mad::mad:
