    Thanks all, I do feel better having your support.

    I do wonder why when you're needing to do 1 million things something else interupts, like the dog managing to get out of the gate so was shoes on and off up the road looking for him, pest.

    Greenbee, I haven't slept properly for about a week so far, I doubt I will sleep at all tonight, part toothache part stress, DP was up until 4am studying last night, so will probably happen to us :o I remember in one of my GCSE exams their was trouble because one lad fell asleep and we were all laughing at his snoring.
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    Dusty She is the most challenging physically to get ready and takes quite a while. Was nice us having one to one which she loved. She can only communicate with her eyes and noises and has a wicked sense of humour. I did her because they would have to watch one of the men who would want to be in with the decorators " helping"

    Please, please, please somebody explain to me about cleaning my dishwasher with vinegar.
    Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Fool me three times and I'll smash your face in. :D
