Mudbath

Massive good wishes tooti - i'll be thinking of you and make sure you hurry back because we'll miss you xxxxxxxx

Thought I'd best pop in before someone sends a search party, still here just a bit 'bogged down' at the mo with colds, meetings, appointments, studying and a partner who's been a bit tetchy lately. Needless to say flyings not been great, actually after a screaming match DP probably did the most today by helping DS2 with his room.

Anyway, hope you're all ok, hugs to those who need or would like one

Oh dear, I do think that this flying lark may well be working ...
My DH came in tonight and I mentioned I'd hoovered the house .... and he exclaimed "again? we only did it on Saturday" ... prior to that may well have been um, 3mths, LOL.

But, the hoovering when clutter free, did take the grand sum of 10 mins ... including the stairs. Excluding the 2 rooms which are currently majorly out of action due to DIY.

So, let's look at the list, I'm feeling hopeful ....

Eyes are starting to fail, my battery on my mobile has just died so I can't carry on the conversation with ex via text until I charge it and the charger is upstairs, I don't care the essay will be done & submitted tomorrow night or by lunch time Friday at the very latest, even if its a first draft anything is better than nothing...I'm going to bed! :wave:

do you think one small kitten will produce enough fur for some mittens because this here mog is driving me mad leaping all over everything!!

My mum once had a cat they used to call gloves as thats what they were threatening to do with her. I suppose you could make kitten mittens

Ooh Froddington - I LOVE Marwell!!! I went there for my 21st birthday as I was sad and had no friends so just took family. It rained nearly the whole time (July weather as usual) but we had a great time and a fantastic picnic in one of the shelters whilst it rained outside! Unfortunately a lot of the animals stayed inside too, so they were hard to see, but it was still good. Wish I could come.

Interesting fact of the day - I found out today that a group of mice is called a mischief, so if I have a baby, I'll have a mischief - sounds appropriate to me don't you think?

Lil_me hugs hun. My OH is rather tetchy at the moment as well, I keep having to remind him not to scream at the kids.

Right I'm off to my clean bed now. See you all tomorrow.
