Ok house of lil_me sorting office is almost ready, DS2s been told he can make a label tomorrow for the box as I want them to sleep. DS1 says we're going to buy envelopes in the morning, that we have to line the envelopes up with everyones address on then put the cards in as they arrive. He says we have to do them alphabetical order as it will be more organised and easier to find everyone :rotfl: bossy oik! Looks like I just need to check (not that I think he will make a mistake) stamp, seal and post them. Easy!

See if this child could organise his own things as well as he can organise other peoples, he's so logical, life would be so much easier!

Can't believe you mentioned books Pigpen - you NEVER get books! :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: but that is a great idea

You haven't seen our house - we've got well over 1,000 books! It's one of the reasons we have difficulty finding anywhere big enough when we have to move - we need somewhere to put all the bookcases . And still they keep coming :rotfl:

- what about videos too (sorry, age thing, I meant DVD's) - give him a better understanding of what he is actually playing

Don't worry, we still call them videos too. And the video shop will always be the video shop even though they don't have any these days, and even when DVDs are obsolete and some new fandabidozi thing is on the market it will still be a video shop :rotfl:

, and I agree - Dr who or any other escapism stuff to play too

He does like Dr Who but has had and since discarded daleks etc. He even got the Cyberman voice-changing mask, but that's since gone to the charity shop. Maybe I could get [STRIKE]me[/STRIKE] him David Tennant :rotfl:

Justamum sorry but I would pretend the PS2s broken and away getting fixed, then when it comes back the man says because it's been used too much it's broken so he has to play on it less worked with my boys on getting a tantrum free way of reducing computer time.

Right, everywheres emptied into boxes in the LR apart from the TV unit area. I asked DP why he didn't put the boxes in the conservatory, well when I said to him to do it he must have been asleep as he said he didn't know where I wanted them :rotfl: anyway he's said he will tomorrow. I have since sorted through one anyway

I'm going to open that Wilkos box now, back in a mo to tell you what is in there and has been in there for about 6 months :rotfl:

Well I put the right address now...hmmm

fed up. Lost £10 of my avon money so thats £10 down in my commission was only getting about £100 anyway So well upset.

I have never used humane traps... im a "kill the barstewards" kinda girl after last time we had them and they chewed through my brand new carpet in my bedroom. So 15 mins after laying OS traps i got one the little blighters right across the eyes ...... but its currently 1-1 in mouse vs me.... cos one just stole the mars bar from the trap after we reset it without it going off :rolleyes: :rotfl:

Had a fight with a squirrel today - been chasing it with water pistol all day - but least its not IN our loft... just using our roof as a springboard to get into the tree in next door.. it HAS dug up all my lawn to bury peanuts though.:mad:


X is back to old him.... and hes working OT tomorrow on his day off and out sat night... (the invites to just HIM have started from previously mutual friends.. )


Not flown but mum blitzed my kitchen while she was minding sarah i did my avon deliveries.... its spangly sparkly bright so thank you mummy!

How old is he? My DS had a Roman Centurion dressing up costume which we might still have.

I'll send you it again, 2 minutes.

((hugs)) for Johanne, I did wonder if it would last, such a shame honey but at least you know where you stand and no more confusing emotions.

Justamum he's 7 but unfortunately the height of a 12 year old! Thanks anyway x

Flower thanks
