    I'm hoping that the rain will help the roads where I live to defrost a bit Soappie as they're still sheets of ice - the gritters never come onto the smaller roads - just the main ones!

    Morning all, feeling carp this morning. DS2 was awake alot of the night with a raging temperature and what seemed like hallucinations. It was quite scary actually. Finally fell asleep at about 4, and is up now as if nothing happened!!!!! How do kids do that????

    Anyhoo, gonna do some flying this morning after the school run. Got my interview at 12.30 today so I'm starting to get a little bit nervous about that!

    Off to separate the screaming children now.

  • Morning all,

    Summermoon - they have this built-in button called 'scare the hell out of mum' which switches on and off at will... ;) seriously, hope she feels better now, and you too...

    OOOOH, NEARLY FORGOT - GOOD LUCK AT THE INTERVIEW!!!!

    DS in shower and has been for ages (no wonder our bill is so high - what does he do in there???) and lunches and breakfast is started - then onto the paperwork again - does it never stop?

    I have a dull ache where my head should be this morning - I can feel the tension all down my neck so working on here all day is going to be hard - short bursts I think with intermittent flying again - that should stop it getting hold...;) see you all in a bit, off to sort my list...

    Re Freecycle - I agree with lil_me apply the rules to all.
    Yes I can see why mega sob stories should be blocked but there should be allowance for explaining why you are posting a 'want'
    Personally I am more inclined to respond to a 'proper reply' when I offer something.
    I mean more than 'I would like this. My number is..'

    Wild night here - very strong wind and rain this morning, but ice seems to have gone. Just realised that one shop I wanted to go to has an on-line store so will be using that later. Do I need to look at M&S:think:
