  • Johanne – how are you feeling this morning honey?

    Juliejim – Happy Birthday to DD

    Embb – even the babysitter? Oh dear. Just make sure you keep noting everything down. Did you speak to the anti social behaviour people?

    Soappie – that’s just rubbish! I’m so glad DD didn’t get any gift vouchers. I think everyone will be sticking to cash in the future.

    Boddy – is it a special birthday when you retire? J

    Mudbath – you are fairly cracking on with the CC debt. Are you putting every spare penny towards it?

    Sexymouse – I’ll try to catch up with that blog later on. I love that kind of stuff.

    Vanilla – do you have an IKEA in NI? They are very reasonably priced and good quality. It might even be worthwhile hiring a van and driving to Glasgow?

    Ragz – oh no!!! That’s sounds like the kind of thing I would do! Maybe try cleaning the filters and washing again?

    Emily – how is the move/settling in going?

    I keep forgetting that it isn’t a public holiday for most of you…well just for me, toots, jjeff, G&B and crafty I think. I love 2 Jan. BF is away to the pub for his sports day and I am vegging. But I really need to work on an assessment that is due in on Wednesday *sigh* I think I need to have a wee snooze first :D

    Just had late lunch.
    Got the car insurance sorted :j
    But wish I hadn't started it when everyone else in the world was using their computer - it took for ever (hence late lunch)

    Dusty - the turkey crown - bit of a mare that! Could you get, say, a hairdryer on just the top of the crown to defrost it just a tiny bit?

    Well it used to be, but everyday is a 'holiday' now - not that I'm gloating or anything. :rotfl::rotfl:

    :xmastree:Hi kings 981, sorting out and susif1973. You are all very welcome to join us.
    Our illustrious leader pigpen adds a new list to the first post every day so dive in and do what you can - you dont have to do it all just to whatever level you can reasonably manage depending on how much time you have available -everybody has different life styles and have to work round jobs, children and OHs
    Make sure you read the 1st post as it gives you all the info and abbreviations - Dont stress about the mess - your home didnt get in a mess overnight so dont expect a miracle and it become tidy in a day!!! Remember its BABYSTEPS - just do what you can and it will get easier evryweek and soon you will catch up on the things you have missed
    There is no such word as failure here- always post what you have done no matter how little it all counts.
    the support and encouragement on this thread is fantastic - THE BEST! - feel free to ask questions(most of us dont bite!) and we will all try to give suggestions - not always sane ones!!!
    Welcome to the totally bonkers mad house!!!
