Sarah - 'supergirl pj's' ??????:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

Now I know where you get all your strength and hard working attitude from!!!!:rotfl:

Have managed to check thgrough the bedding and towels - no dead towels- not sure about the bedding yet as there is still (loads) in the ironing mountain - in fact most of the ironing mountain is bedding!!!!!!!!:eek: :eek: :eek:
will have to do HHI of some to go on the bed shortly as I am not using anything that is already ironed until the basket is empty IYSWIM!!

It must be an age thing.......I keep losing my list......must go find it and see whats left to do!!! Still have to do amazon and ebay yet too!!

Toots I found it... Problem is it used to live in a basket in the kitchen which never went back after I decorated. I have about 6 bags in the kitchen and use different ones on different occassions and it was in one of those, it now has a new home witht he stamps and bits in a box on my desk.

Kids burning off a bit of energy in the dark in the garden.

I need to tidy up from dinner but have gone all sleepy now I've eaten.

Thanks for the hugs and comments about the young lad, he was a teenager, so older than DS2 but still very young. I just really feel for his parents, his Mother is such a lovely person. It's really going to be awkward tomorrow night I think without him there, for some of the children they just won't understand and for some I think it will cause increased anxiety. Playing it by ear for now as my boys struggle with the understanding of death and tend to ask extremely unappropriate things at unappropriate times.

On lighter notes, hopefully my friend is a bit further forward with internet stuff and DS2 seems to have really enjoyed Beavers

Thanks for the good luck wishes for the conference, I am dreading something going wrong but know it'll be fine. I need to do list of what I need to take and have it ready tonight. Dive in the shower once the boys are in bed to save time in the morning as it'll be a mad dash, especially now DP has volunteered to drive to Birmingham to pick stuff up for someone at 9am. Ho hum.

Stll not finished the conservatory, oranything else, but have made progress. I came back to having to clean up as the dogs had stolen eggs in the 20 minutes I was out, mad e a right mess. I knew they'd been up to something when I came in and Megan ran past me looking guilty. She's the one who will have done it, always is her.

Congratulations on your new job liuhut!

Casey - make sure you get some rest - hope you're not too sore.

Holly - hope everything gets sorted out with your DS.

I've finished work, picked the kids up, been to Asda (to replace the food in the fridge), come home, got the kids ready for swimming, kids went swimming, I went SW (stayed the same this week), come home, had tea, put the kids to bed, caught up with the thread.

Does that count as flying at all?

Liuhut, congratulations on new job.
Lil_me good luck with transforming conservatory into tidy office.
Hollyh Hope you get the phone sorted. Pity he hadn’t told you sooner.
Casey Rest!
Serena Sounds as if you need to borrow pigpen’s pointy stick!


Unfortunately since I live alone I can’t blame anyone else for the clutter in this house

Deviously I can use Crafty's post to catch up with you all.
Liuhut - hope you enjoy it with the circus I couldn't do trapeze AT ALL scared af falling! ...or are you steeplejacking?

(Ropes....lol)

Hi

I'm sorry to hear about that young lad Lil_me .

Well i went round to the boys house and his parents weren't in. I had a quick chat with him but didn't want to say too much when he was alone. He says he hasn't got the phone and never had it and to be honest it didn't look as if he was lying. So he's going to give Ds1 back the £2 and we'll say no more about it. I'm going to see if it's been handed into the youth club on Thursday.

I have however delegated the washing up and the tidying & hoovering of the living room. DsD wanted a blouse ironed for tomorrow so i swapped the washing up with her;) and thought whilst i was on to a good one i'd get the boys to do the living room.
