    Am still sobbing about the filing....but I shall do it as it needs to be done :(

    Laundry... I most things on 30 (splitting the colours depending on how much I have of what), but usually do towels/sheets/underwear at 50, and my cleaning cloths every couple of weeks at 90 to clean the machine out.

    I also use either soapnuts or ecover liquid & vinegar or ecover powder, soda crystals & vinegar depending on what I'm washing!

    MUST leave work now... need to clean my teeth before my dentist appointment :o

    You requested the 15 minutes filing...

    For your random HH-whatever.. you can do.. EXTRA FILING... you can after all do it sitting down so it isn't like you need to move is it?? It is almost resting!! I was told not to do anything remotely like moving/exercise when pg with DS3.. they didn't say it was ok to do it again after he was born sooooo I'm not taking the chance!.. he is 10 in March....

    My 6 year old is currently in.. age 4 clothing.. my 4 year old... is also in age 4 clothing! When my 6 and 13 year olds started school they were both just in age 2-3 clothes. DD4 I made her school clothes.. though I found 1 pair of age 3 trousers in next that fitted her. I need to sort their school trousers out actually as the age 3 ones don't fit any more they can be rehomed.


    :rotfl: completely misread that...had an image of a 13 year old in age 2-3 clothes.....

    Oldest step daughter is like a rake so nothing ever fits her....she's 10 and grows every time we see her. Trousers are a nightmare as she needs the length of 10-11 clothes but not the waist. The best thing we've found for her so far are Asda skinny jeans!! Even things with an adjustable waist are too big normally

    I've decided my children are odd. It's DS's birthday on Friday and we're going to my mum's where he can choose anything at all for his tea. He's chosen lamb chops, new potatos, cabbage and cauliflower.....I was hoping for chips!!!

    G&B - I have the opposite problem with clothes for my two as they're both tall. DD is 9 and in aged 12 school trouser. Problem is they seem to think that 12 years old must be huge because the waist on them is massive. Both my children are skinny ribs (don't take after me then!!) so clothes fall off them. I love the tesco ones as they have an adjustable waist.

    School work finished so DD on the wii and DS on the computer. I'm off to make din dins xx

    Edited to add - looks like you have the same problem Jennybee xx

    I'm sure there is nowhere in this thread that you can find proof that I requested filing!! I may have said it needed doing but still....(grumbling about how people are starting to get mean!)

    :rotfl: at the exercise thing...I'm really clumsy so to honest most of the time exercise is bad for my health!!

    Right I'm off out. Got to take two children down to my parents before I go to Weight Watchers. Just thought I need to swap the car seats around as well. Joy of joys!

    TTFN all :wave:
    Fluttering about an inch off the ground, I may fly properly one day and soar in the clouds!
