    Summermoon - hope you are feeling better soon. DO sit on your chuff tonight - it won't hurt everyone else to do some running around . . .

    Dogs walked - wll actually runned - LOL - I biked - they ran - I found them in the big bag of dog biccies this morning, I was wondering why they were so quiet during my last post!! Hence they were punished by having to run the whole way today :)

    I'm off for a shower, then some HHCs to get me through the jobs.

    Haven't caught up with the thread yet, it's rather alarming how many Flyladies there are at the moment (New Year's Resolutions?), either that or there's a few of us posting a lot and not doing any flying?;)

    Hope PigPen's cousin is feeding now - have we had an update? If not, sending more hungry baby vibes over.

    Rant alert...

    Had dreadful grocery shopping experience, didn't win in the Asda argument so we went to TESCO:mad: :eek: :mad: :eek: :mad: :eek: :mad: :eek:
    [can you tell it was bad?]
    and they had run out of half the things I wanted (apparently delivery messed up), and all the things on my list seemed to cost twice as much as they do in Asda. I spent £40 and managed to get less than a third of what I had on my list, so Grocery target of £80 not looking so good. I had priced up my shopping through Asda.com as I was hoping for delivery but they had no slots and it was only going to cost me about £60 for the lot.
    After finding that half the stuff I wanted was out of stock, the veg I wanted all seemed mouldy or off and queing for ages with stroppy hungry toddlers in the trolley I came out of Tesco in a murderous rage so bad that OH has offered to take me to Eastbourne tomorrow especially to go to Asda:D
    Rant over...

    Better post my list before I lose it in the depths, it's got longer though as I remembered that if Microwave (ours broke just before Christmas, we got one off freecycle that lasted until boxing day so I gave in and bought one from Argos) and Shoe Rack (yay!) arrive on Monday I need to clear stuff first. Like the stuff that seems to mysteriously gather on the top of Microwaves... and the shoes that hide under chairs...
    Does anyone else suffer from these phenomena?

    If you wrote to the bank then you are in the 'system' all charges reclaims are on hold until it has been decided on by the courts. Once the outcome is known then refunds (if that is what is decided) should follow. Just make sure you have copies of all correspondence if needs be.

    Thanks i have all paperwork here, must get it all together.:A

    Have been busy today in the livingroom as i've been barred from going outside. Started to get a few pains last night and think i probably pushed myself too much yesterday wresling with the bushes. So hubby has barred me for now. Thankfully everything settled down and baby is very active today.

    Livingroom now looking great but kitchen is :eek: , boys playing on xbox and DD playing on ds, hubby in bed so think i'll make a start on the kitchen tonight once i get wee ones to bed (which will be very shortly).

    Big hug to everyone who needs one, i have read the thread but it's left me who said what and the pics look fab.
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.
    :j :j

    Fireangel.. that is the EXACT reason I bought smoth unit doors with no decoration other than a smooth chamfer around the edge.. so they were simple to clean.. and better still.. the cheapest in the shop!

    Smooth doors here, too. Not what I originally wanted, but so glad they are what I got!
