soappie - how do you sleep at night owning shares in Mr T

Clearly restlessly given my nights of broken sleep over the last couple of weeks or so :rotfl:

And I'm clearly a maverick wrt to my shareholding status as I've recently been making sure I buy as much food stuffs as I can elsewhere before I go There. But, until the share price perks up a little, I'm not selling just yet.

But I'm now off to bed. Dinner is eaten and cleared away. DW on. Night night all

Oh - just had a thought - Lil-me - haven't seen you this evening - hope you're well

Pigpen - Just popped in to see the news and notice you have a lovely new niece. I haven't had time to read the whole thread but hope she is doing fine and that you get to see her soon. She shares my Ds's birthday but beat him by 4oz :-)

No flying going on around here as we had the devestation of a party for 30 children to deal with yesterday. I have my list ready should energy levels return tomorrow.

just use ordinary person shampoo on the cradle cap.. it is just a build up of grease on baby's head because baby shampoo is a waste of time effort and money!..

neat washing up rubbed into the olive oil will get that out.

I lost half of my replies to a big post I was going to make So what I've managed to save is :
Oddjob - lol, mine used to have an -IL2B after the mother part. :rotfl::rotfl: Now its DD or ex :rolleyes:

Tia - CONGRATS!!!!!!!!!!

Scared 1980 - I'm a single mum too, since March last year, after living with my now-ex since 2000 (and we were inseparable for 18 months before that). I "work" (placement for a course) 3 days a week, and I'm a student doing 2 courses as well. Don't worry too much about the house, as long as its tidy enough that you and you're little ones don't get hurt, and you keep up with dishes its fine. I've actually taken the attitude that as long as I am able to put a meal on the table those three nights that I'm working (even if its just beans on toast or a sandwich with fruit) and breakfast then I don't need to worry about anything else. Spending time with my daughter closely followed by getting my studies done are first and foremost. The house can get done when I have the time

Sending healing vibes to Tristan and loving, supportive vibes to you Diva.....massive hugs xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

I second that!

Mudbath - congrats to your DD.

Pigpen - yay!! Healing & home soon vibes being sent!

I finally went to the Doctors today and they've basically told me I have to loose weight and get my bloodpressure down as it was 138/97:o Scarily I got my height wrong - I said I was 2" shorter than I am so the BMI they did for me is wrong. Its actually 34.88 acording to Netdoctor:o So thats top of my priorities now as I can't take care of DD if I'm not here.

Since we got back from my mums tonight I've washed up, cooked tea (sausage sandwiches followed by low-fat yoghurt), put DD to bed and made 12 yorkshire puds and I'm just waiting for some chicken and stuffing balls for tomorrow to cook so I can go and get ready for bath/bed.

Right, best shift myself as I'm with a new class tomorrow and I can't remember which teacher I'm with. :wave:
