valli hope the cold doesnt get too much worse - I am sure you could negotiate excellent terms with AnW's mum - she does your tiles and you do her ironing???????

mudbath well done to you and your DD for doing the Race for LIfe! I hope your Wii helps you get fit.:T

mrsmortenharket hope all is well with you and the bump after your visit to the consultant.

scared1980 make a list of the phone calls and work your way through them that way you wont miss any - you are doing really well and its all for you and the children now! keep thinking of all those positives and you will do just fine.

supergirl Hi babes you had a great start to the day - well done

TAG you may have a long list but you work like a hero and it soon disappears! hope you are pleased with your haircut - nice treat!

went to mr A and did some shopping for a friend who is struggling so that took a wee while and I am a bit tired. have had lunch and doen a washing but the forecast is wrong so I cant get it hung out:mad:
Am also having a problem with my mouse - the pc one!!! it doesnt want to go where I point it so I think I will have to replace it - I have had it apart and cleaned it all but its no better:rolleyes: :rolleyes:

right coffee and find my list and do a 60 in 60 - its paper bin tomorrow and I hate putting it out half emty so I am going to try and fill it this afternoon!

ETA forgot to send hugs to all the poorlies with colds - there seem to be a lot just now- poorlies with pain - and those of you feeling down (Diva and Sunnygirl spring to mind)

Valli

Toots I got an optical mouse (you can get them cheap in Morrisons) and that solved all my 'skidding' problems - because of the dead skin etc that gets stuck on the rollers...I wouldn't go back to ones with balls (mind you who has the sig about problems with things with balls...:rotfl:)

Hi Toots :wave: sorry to hear you're a little tired... don't get doing too much mrs.... you'll end up in trouble!

Hi Valli :wave: you're very welcome, is she having a lovely day? Well, at school I guess. Have you got something planned for this evening? And, are you resisting stirring?

Well, one cupboard erected! Marvellous. One really big one to make now. I'll do that tomorrow... remind me not to be a doofus and to actually make it in my bedroom, not in the living room, so it's got to be taken upstairs now :doh:

It'll be really great to have a bit more order in the bedroom. I'm sick of looking at the clothes piles.

Ohhhh blimey.... school run time. See you all later. :wave:

Valli

She and three friends are off to Frankie and Benny's tonight (assuming she gets off the Wii and ready) and I now have a sore throat/voice going situation.
Dumplings in SC now - which I have turned high to compensate - ho hum - so no, I am not really resisting stirring!
Ah well prep for Friday job done and bathroom gleaming:D
now off to see what the techies have come up with (shot me down in flames probably - they can be very scathing:p:rolleyes:)

:rotfl: DD has a Wii Sing it with a USB mic which she has plugged into the pc - I have gently pointed out that it needs plugging into the Wii :rotfl:
