  • Hello & welcome to the newbies (I'm one myself, but they make you very welcome here:T )

    Managed to list 5 things on ebay, so feel a bit better about that, it's not so bad when you get started, I just find fiddling with the photos a PITA:rotfl:

    Did a few things off the list today & have a nice fresh clean bed to get into in a while.

    Managed to 'chat' to DS on 'msn' tonight which was nice, he started uni this September & I miss him very much:cry: but he is having a great time, so that is the main thing.

    Goodnight, hope the poorly ones feel better. xx

    polka well done

    Thanks for the hugs, no signs of anything iffy with the rest of us yet but DS1s gone to bed early............very strange...........DS2s asleep on DP so if he chucks, he gets it not me. I was up at 4am cleaning his bed so his turn! Yes boddy I was in shock, in fact called him several times after I got in touch with school who said he'd collected him and he wasn't answering so I went into panic at the course, eventually he text to say they were fine etc, was weird!

    Going to get myself off to bed soon, not done a great deal but there is always tomorrow which I am pretty much stuck in with DS2 as he won't be back until next week I don't think, 48 hour rule. Expecting DS1 to 'feel ill' even if he doesn't to stay off aswell......they fight like mad sometimes but hate to be apart, DS2 got on my nerves asking how many minutes until DS1 was home all afternoon. As soon as he was home they bickered, like the love hate thing I think.

    Right, bed time, will do DS1s packed lunch in the morning if he's well enough

    Night night all xxx

    (Up to Thursday is on the Facebook page for anyone who MSE is playing up for, like me!!!)
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

  • Hi all,
    Not been on all week as have been manically getting a job done (didn't get home till 11 last night after leaving at 8am :eek: )

    I had a clear up yesterday morning before work, but didn't clean anything (although it needs it ) I just put everything away in the hope DS would come home and vacuum at least for me - didn't happen and house just looks a mess again, so guess what I'll be doing all day Friday!!!

    Back to work today, but should be home earlier today and then straight to bed I think...:D Not even looked at the lists since Monday...

    Hope everyone is well, although reading last page looks like you're going through it Lil_Me...

    OK, off to get DS up - see you all later maybe...
