    I've made a to do list blank today to put on my fridge. Printed it off at work (with lovely digital printer), laminated it and have just bought some sticky sided magnetic tape. I have a whiteboard pen to write on it with. Now the kids cannot say they didn't see the list! Can't wait to put it up and use it :) Is it home time yet???

    Oooh, good idea, I love wipeboards - I did one once before from a board I got at Tesco - drew lines on it with a permanent marker and everything, but you have to wait a real long time for it to dry...

    !! BOO !!

    Morning ladies

    I'm back. Things got ridiculously busy over the last couple of weeks and I just didn't have time to catch up and post but, fingers crossed, things are quietening down again now which is a relief. I was beginning to get really tired with it all. I also have no voice this morning - just a deep rumble - that'll amuse them in the office.

    I promise I'll work on the list this evening.

    Have a good day ladies
    I am the leading lady in the movie of my life
  • Right, really am off now to sort out washing, empty dishwasher and reload (just couldn't face after dinner yesterday...:o ) Then I really have to enter receipts from last job so we can cost up and then I can email all these through - one of my 'Toots' jobs that just have to be done... then I will attack the lounge...

    see you all later...:hello:

    Quick dip in -part way down page 4 (note to self) but I don't have time to read anymore.
    Hope you're feeling better this morning Pigpen sounds a bit like it could be that you're overwhelmed to me...
    I have had a dreadful night. awful, realistic nightmares - convinced it's work stress though...

    Good morning all - Goodnight DeniseNZ - hope it's a good day for you all.
    See you later Valli x
