    Pigpen, sorry to hear of you're traumatic day, I hope you're sister's baby doesn't make an early appearence anytime soon.

    I am positively making a week of it!!! lol

    Mine were all early (bar 1) so hers might just be too.. especially with the cervix problems and prodding she's been getting.. but she is 26 weeks now so things would be risky but the outcome would most likely be ok.. regardless baby is staying there for at least a few more weeks.. I demand it! I cannot cope with any more drama this week!

    No... anyone want a white enamel kitchen sink & drainer (50cm deep) with supataps? :D

    Or some solid pine kitchen units? :D

    Pigpen - meant to say, thanks for the tip about washing mooncups in the DW. It came up a treat! I also noticed you put your WM drawer in there, and tried that too. Great idea... Clearly we need a top tips list as well as the cleaning products spreadsheet Valli's going to create. In fact, maybe a rival to the Flylady website (except then we'd have to think of a new name, at which point everything would fall apart :p )

    I'd love both but I don't think getting them here would be practical lol.

    Glad to have helped.. I hope you told everyone the mooncup was in the cutlery holder next to their forks!!! :D:D:D:D

    We could be the Bogbabes! or the Society of Scrubbers.. or Mrs Mops Minions! lol.. Piggies palace polishers!

    That is what worries me.. tomorrow I have to accept a urology and psychologist (this might well be refused) and paed referral for dd3.. then I have to go head to head with the principal at Wyke who is 6ft 5!!!!!!!!!!... and his assistant who is 6ft 2.. and little teeny me!!! Then I am at college tomorrow night with the hag of a tutor so that is Wednesday pretty much screwed.. I daren't even think what Thursday will bring... actually .. if all goes to calendar Thursday is my pmt day... Friday I have DS2 at OT.. again!! Battle on!!!!!!!!!! They are trying to weedle out of offering any support and I will NOT allow it...

    Yep.. good week!

    Hubbie's hoodie alterred and he is wearing it - it is cold in here. School trousers mended in 3 places to fight another day. Off to my bed now to warm up. See you tomorrow flyers.

    Once you've got everyone's addresses, you could plot them on a map, and then we can work out the best way to get things from one flylady to the next! I'm going to be in Leeds w/c 17th... if I get myself organised :rolleyes:

    Toots - drop me your details and I'll put the bits together for you. Let me know what kind of things you're after and I'll see what else I've got lurking around the place that might be useful

    Polka - I have found quite a few bits and pieces, but its probably best if you let me know what kind of things would be useful. After all not everyone feels it necessary, unlike me, to have 15 different sizes of cake tin - and that's just the round ones :o .

    Dusty - ecobuttons. We've done some testing, and they aren't as robust as we'd hoped... boys seem to be able to break them quite quickly :mad: so it looks like adjusting the energy usage settings in the OS would be the best bet - we're going for hibernating if inactive for 15 minutes, with an option to use a key combination to do this proactively if you know you'll be away for a bit.

    Big hugs Pigpen, what a day for you.
    Michele fab looking cake.

    Took DD for her flu jab not impressed, DS1 now on laxatives and he pooped himself today at school again. The doctor couldn't really be bothered to be honest, i asked him how much a should give and he said 1 or 2 teaspoons whatever i think.:confused: Then i asked how long i should give it to him and he said again for however long i wanted.:confused: I'm so cross about it he didn't measure him or weigh him. So gonna go over his head tomorrow, 3 off us was seen in 5 mins, how can they properly know whats wrong in that amount of time.

    Time for bed for me, have this lovely bill of rights tomorrow but at least we get feed.:rotfl:

    Nite, nite.
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.
    :j :j

    List is up.. for some reason I've been unable to get in since I last posted.. think I was kicked out for posting too many times in an hour!!

    Thanks Pigpen... I'll have to make a start when I get back from they gym, otherwise I won't be able to get to my desk to work!

    I've had problems with the site for the past few days... I thought it was work internet access, but given everyone else's problems I think it must be MSE who are having trouble :rolleyes:
