    I have decluttered some cherries and read the papers, printed the postage for my parcel, and ....errr........ that's it!!!

    Will go and update my list ready for tomorrow as I [STRIKE]fancy [/STRIKE]really need an early night :rolleyes:

    Pigpen - wonderful newshappy0141.gif

    Mudbath - well done, that must really feel fantastichappy0065.gif

    Will be off to my pit shortly but will send encouraging vibes to the labour ward, why do babies have this afinity for the middle of the night?

    Oh and must empty my DW before I go - I think I have enough pots to refill it:rotfl:

    See you all tomorrow - I don't own a single yellow article of clothing but I will wear my high viz jacket as often as I can at work:D

    noted;) and regards the DS with no clean uniform - Flower hun - one day some girl (or life partner because am politically correct) is going to be pleased that your son is trained to put what needs washing where it needs to be in order to be washed - I do that with mine...:rotfl:)
    I totally agree with this, my MIL totally waits on her husband and my DH when he lived there or goes round to visit, and it really annoys me that she does. :mad: He used to be a bit of a nightmare when we first got together, but I've soon knocked him into shape! My mum is disabled, so when I lived at home the policy was "if you don't do it yourself no one else will." My view is, if you want me to wash your clothes put them out to be washed, and if you run out of pants/socks/anything else because it is strewn around the flat then tough! I did this with my DH and he soon learned and even starts the WM himself now! He's a good bloke, he just didn't realise because he'd never had to do anything for himself before. She even ironed his underpants! :eek: TMI, sorry:rotfl:
    Edit:sorry for the rant!
    This will sound weird, but does anyone have trouble in the bath telling the difference between hot and cold water with their feet? I was topping up the water and wondered if the hot water had run out so I put my foot in the water coming out of the tap, but couldn't tell if it was hot or cold! This has happened quite a few times now. :o
    Sorry, broke the rules about flying, have decluttered some soap and shampoo when I had a bath, does that count?
