    Tooti and greenbee - I have to say i'm amazed he came up with the idea. I don't know if we'll do it but it's defintely something to think about. Greenbee....I would adobt you BUT you'll have to sleep in a dog basket with out current puppylicious, no sleeping on the sofa (unless DH is out and you're invited) and no sleeping on the bed unless he's working away. You can see our 'pup' thinking "awwww no, how long's he home for this time"!!!

    My list for tommorow, most depends on trip to park with DS though. Still, my main priority is the dailies and the extra pile of dishes.

    Thank you for all the compliments,but I have to share that Im thrilled to the roots now coz I've received the compliment to beat all others. I sent a group mail out and just got my first reply...from my big brother:j
    I don't know if I've told you but we've had a very strained relationship since we lost our mum. But since DS had his second birthday my big brother has been making such a big effort. It makes it even MORE worthwhile.
  • Hi Ladies - just popping in to say Hi and I'm in again please! Spent the afternoon in the garden tidying and taking down the pool - DS cut the grass too so it's much neater - just a trip to the recycling centre now with all the waste - don't have enough room to compost all that here - jsut do veg peelings etc.

    I think Pigpen must be psychic - or she's seen my understairs cupboard groaning at the seams! Must try to do some when I get in from work tomorrow - so gald it wasn't kitchen day - but do need to S & S after the roast dinner and a baking session!!

    Will try to keep up but you all post so much and my poor old laptop groans every time I try to change a page so very slow reading everything!

    Have a good Monday one and all!!

    lol-059.gifToots that was so funny! I've just wiped the tears off my face - I particularly liked the electric shock one.
    Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.

    Hellooooooooooooo back now, been back a while but had to go straight out, traffic ARGH I must remember to check then there is a match.

    Anyway, this week I shall be in, me and my tip, disorganised is me at the mo and I can't sleep or relax properly because of it. Got several meetings and appointments to squeeze in aswell, so that'll no doubt throw several spanners in.

    Haven't got time to catch up as I have promised myself I will be in bed by 11.30pm, which I haven't done for months. So ((hugs all round)) see you in the morning x

    Oh must share this one, DS1s corker, he was in a flap as he had a spider on him, DS2 said 'Not be scared' DS1 said 'Not scared bloody petrified' :rotfl:
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:
