Just try and tackle one box tomorrow summermoon or even a part of a box - baby steps remember - and cover the others up so they're not staring at you! You CAN make this your dream house just it won't happen overnight - take some photos NOW so you can see your progress. Good luck and hugs, and hope the specs come soon

Good to hear you sounding brighter Johanne Have fun on Sat night. Who's going to have Pumpkin for you? My mate has been left in the 'child care lurch' by her ex far too often, so if it is him, make sure you have a Plan B!!

Someone asked about SODA CRYSTALS I use the washing powder measure full of soda crystals when I run it thought, Previously someone mentioned using a whole pack of soda crystals. I don't think it much matters. Someone else may be able to give you a more definitive answer though. HTH

Have a wicked time on saturday Johanne - a night out with the girls sounds exactly what you need

Well, I'm glad jjef and lil_me shoved me, cause I'm ready to go out, i've sorted out a pressie for my friend and for my sis from things I've already got stashed that I've just found when tidying up (that's a few quid saved), my study floor looks tidier and I've blitzed my floordrobe. Let's hear it for HHCs (I think I'm on one today - must be my bodyclock rebelling!)

By the way, am I the only one one here NOT studying? I'd love to but can't afford it.

I am not studying either (after a degree and PhD I thought enough was enough! ). Wish someone would invent a fail proof toddler course though! Poor DS is teething again and mummy (me) is going a wee bit loopy! :eek:

Ok I have a question. Big girl did her reading last night and wrote the wrong date in. She said she was sent to 12.30 which is where they go when they haven't done homework etc. She was sent their because she'd written the wrong date down and I didn't notice when I signed it. So she had to sit and do some reading. She says she doesn't mind but it just seems a bit harsh! Would you say anything or just leave it?

Seems a bit harsh to me, she did do it afterall ?
I would maybe mention it next meeting with the teacher, just casually like, see what they say.
