g&b I had a nightmare with delivery from the Coop, my theory is they are all as bad as each other!!!

lol, i think you're probably right! I'm so impatient and want it now, otherwise i would have had to wait til next week when i get paid again to order it. Hubbys wages are all to pot just now so cant rely on them. He spoke to his bank and they said someone overseas had cloned his card or something and he went overdrawn and now he has to pay the bank charges for going overdrawn even though its not his fault:mad: Its going to cost him nearly £200 in fees for bounced DD's and OD fees.

Morning all, and hugs for everyone!
Have done school run, been to town to pay bills, cleaned up bathroom, made breakfast, ate breakfast and put all the dishes in to soak.
Going to chill out with a cuppa till 11 then crack on with an HHC. ANyone want to join me?
Everything is reasonably tidy, so shouldnt take more than an hour to do a general tidy round. Kids rooms needs a good tidy tho, after yesterdays upheaval in spare room(alot of stuff being moved around from one room to another)
Am at work till 9.30 tonight, might do a page or 2 for my scrapbook when I get back. We'll see how tired I am!

I'm up for a HHC!:D

Right, I'm just about caught up on emails for now. Am going to update this laptop (work one) with service pack 3 whilst I shower and dress and then does anyone want to do a HHC 11.15-11.45 with me? I probably can't come back on to start it as the laptop will be updating but I'll be doing it!

Morning ladies

Friday errand done so I decided to catch up with Fred while I waited for WM load 2 to finish. Have decided to wash the mattress protectors from DDs and DSs beds, mainly because DDs needed washing (slightly blooded - she has nosebleeds) and they can go in the TD (they have been brilliant - fabulous quality and well made but the shop I got them from has been gone for some time (Littlewoods)) read the washing instructions - I knew they couldn't be washed in biological powder (rubber) but I forgot they can go in at 60 deg so I am hoping they'll turn out looking white like they're supposed to. Towels in TD at the moment then sheets and then these will be ready to dry.
I can feel a cold coming on but it will have to wait - I've too much to do to be ill:rotfl:
Managed to thank a few more people. Some of you are pretty elusive Pigpen.

My 16 month old grabs my mobile and punches at the keys furiously in a texting fashion :rotfl:

My DD used to push her dolly's buggy with a toy mobile clamped under her chin 'like the other mummies':rotfl:

Just need to pass a couple of bits to hubbie in the loft, set WM and I'm off to bed.

Liking the idea of keeping OHs out of the way in the loft...;)

Nicki (and any other e bayers) re bubble wrap
I get mine free from Morrisons when they are restocking the bananas - I ask nicely and it's in reasonably sized sheets too - I take it into school too and keep it in the science cupboard...

:wave: Morning all. Cold here but not as cold as I would be on the mainland!

THAT'S why you live there then;)

I'm tempted to put up some kitchen rules:

1. If there are enough things to fill the dishwasher please fill it and put it on rather than making neat piles of dirty washing.

2. If you use something put it back where it came from afterwards.

3. Shut all the cupboard doors/drawers before you leave the kitchen.

4. If you drop anything on the floor please pick it up straight away.

Do you think they'll complain if I write it out and stick it around the kitchen?

send me a copy for DS and DD please;)

Nails looking pretty and after the panto last night the children got to school at.. 10:30am... I did ring and say they were going to be in late as they didn't get to bed until after 10pm last night.. but it is a one off so not too drastic! .. They'll have got there in time for break lol. Most others would have kept them off for the day!

yes they would - well done you!

Right - so now wash 3 is on and running I can go and get my bath...catch you later (o I miss my shower...)

I'm probably oversimplifying things (as it's not happened to me, I am no expert!) But surely...if someone at the bank has told him that his card has been cloned overseas then they shouldn't be charging him for going overdrawn?

Like I said, I'm no expert but that seems a little off to me...
