_pale_ I can't do that bit!

Back to the drawing board. Anyone else got any ideas?

I can't do that bit either. I have printed it off though so that I can see if I can come up with something else to use instead. I wonder if a tin of tomatoes and a teaspoon of marmite or vecon might do it?

Well as my "weird" head isn't feeling too bad atm - unless I move my head too quickly - I've been around and dusted and vacuumed everywhere. Oops must go and pick up DS - I'm already late :eek::eek:

Need to go and get dinner ready - I think I'll do a veggie version of the cowboy hash recipe - at least it's quick and easy! I also need to get my bread dough into the tins and make a melktert for tomorrow. Oh, and I need to clean the shower. Off I toddle.

Evening everyone.

Hugs for everyone who is poorly.

Michelle Hugs and cuddles for Charlie hope he is ok. When my DD was little I felt sure they would think I was badly treating her. She was always doing something. Always very adventourous.

Mumoffour77 Ugh cat sick I hate the job of cleaning it up. Maybe he has just ate something he shouldnt or its a fur ball.

Gryfon Big hugs.

Dusty Is your avatar not still in user cp?

Saw mum today and she was fine. Rang my DD so she could speak to her and she said Is that Carol its Mary.

Didnt get to my meeting and greeting as I thought I would give myself a bit more time. Ended up having a go on a Nintendo DS at my DDs. Then came home and started the list.

Ugh back to work tomorrow. Ive only realised after talking to DD that she thinks Ive had stress as well. Been sleeping for hours each night and feel better for having had the time off.

Well the site seems somewhat faster but the thanks buttons still seems to be random...I do press it girlies...

Have cleaned bathroom and kitchen AND cleaned out the 'groceries' cupboard and thrown out 3 out of date things...:j
I have also cleared one of DSs 'top' cupboards - he has bedroom fitments with cupboards above, the door 'lifts' up and they have been used for toys and games...as he is 15 I think he is getting too old for some (although he is a massive fan of board games which he still plays) so I sorted out what I thought could go and it will. Some will go to school for 'wet play' but some to charity shops. Down into the space has come stuff from the top of the wardobes so it looks much tidier.:j Incidentally I bought him Pass The Bomb last xmas ... a fantastic game for parties for adults and older children which I highly recommmend...especially if anybody has had a few...

DD is currently sitting watching TV and sorting through a drawer in the dining room which contained her VAST bobble collection...old sunglasses and other assorted carp. Most has now been binned...:j

And I have a bread and butter pudding, made with a reduced price fruit loaf (19p) baking in the oven...:money:

I am very pleased with what has been accomplished today especially re the toys and games...and the things which I binned before he came home as I knew the wouldn't be missed...like the game boy accessories;)

Oh and to add to that the very productive, sensible phone call with ex re the kids and things that he really needs to know...I feel like this:A

ETA and I have washed, tumble dried and ironed two loads of washing!:D

Actually it's getting so fast I am stunned! Light speed almost:rotfl:

34 thing fling x 3 I think! :rotfl:
