    better get her name right though... toottifrootti... ;) You only get 300 posts at a time, so you need to go into advanced search and search for posts OLDER than a certain date... I hope Valli & AnW's mum have a lovely evening finding the last 5!

    Are you SURE you wouldn't rather come round and sort my study out and do my ironing?! :rotfl:

    You know, there are enough flyladies on here for us to find people near enough to us to go round and motivate them, like some kind of How Clean Is Your House style thing. I love organising other people's houses, it's so much more fun doing someone else's cleaning!
    I'll volunteer for some ironing if you all hate it so much...(I never iron in my house, OH is gardener so no shirts and kids are toddlers so no ironing there either, I buy clothes that don't need it or else I just look scruffy!)

    ragz sounds like you have proved your point with Asda, must admit I prefer there now but tend to order online as much further away than several Tescos. Oh and not a hope I could do the swap house thing, I couldn't let someone else snoop enough in my house, there is always at least one room which is a NO GO zone!

    Well I have done some of my list before mother came over, she says thank you to greenbee for the voucher as she needs some tiles and stuff :D she moaned about the usual moans, said Dad's arm is a mess but face isn't too bad. I am wondering if there is something different about my Dad lately because when he was over here last week my dog barked like mad at him which he'd NEVER done, dogs usually love my Dad including mine. Always wonder what dogs can sense that we can't, he has got new glasses recently I think. Mam said he must be in pain with it as didn't sleep last night and left for the hospital at 6am (they told him to go back to his local one today to get it checked) It's weird with them being seperated (divorced) but living in the same house but this time Mam moaned less about Dad, maybe feeling sorry for him a bit. Going to phone him tomorrow anyway to make sure he's ok, he's driven home which he said he wasn't going to do.

    Can't believe my oldest baby is 10 tomorrow, double figures, making me feel old :o I need DP to get one of his presents out of the garage when he gets home, had put it there for Xmas but forgot so a bonus birthday present instead.
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    In that case, maybe I should do Froddy's housework and she should do mine?!

    Ashia - I did my Pharmacy Dispensing training when it cost 25p per item? (don't tell me - it must have been before you were born!:o) and we used to mix creams and ointments on a pallate with a knife, used a pestle and mortar, and made kaolin & morphine with the Morphine from the CD cupboard! And the prescriptions were handwritten - IN LATIN - so we had to translate as we went. I did 3 years compulsory Latin at school and said I'd never use it, then used it every day. :D

    We don't get to do any of that fun stuff, we just count and read! Didn't get any of it done today, just had a bit of a blob day, couple of loads of washing, quick trip round town (Some bargins where had), made peanut butter cookies (with rice flour so they are gluten free) cheese sauce for the freezer (coz I grated block of cheese and they where my leftover bits) erm and bumped into friends which resulted in a unexpected chat, definatly a better day that the start promised. Yay!
