Right, loads to do and less time to do it in, need to get house sorted by 1(ish)...four at the latest, but preferably one. Got to run out and grab a couple of bits....why oh why do you think 'oh I might like that' then you HAVE to have it....*shrug*

Okay, panics aside, heard tell of a HHC at half eight, I'm sooooooooooo there.

Just reorganised the fridge coz I just remembered the chicken was in the microwave (it wasn't on I just defrost stuff in it), and have remembered to get out doughballs and satay sticks for tonight. Why did I agree to host the Christmas eve party...Oh is at work til four, and thats when the guests are due. Hmmmm, me thinks I have yet to put panics aside...promise you'll all keep me sane (well, as sane as I am)

You're up late Soappie is it the excitement of the fridge? I'm very impressed by your quick decision and action.

I wanted to watch the film. I HAD to do something about a second fridge - there was nowhere to put the beef and sausages to defrost unless I begged next door to allow me to use hers. I've told the kids the new fridge is MINE and not to use it, they can continue to use the built in fridge

Aarrgghhhhh !!!!!!
