Oh and TOOTS

[FONT=&quot]Monday - Kitchen and Dining room[/FONT] complete

I have to confess I was quite shocked with the toaster. Instead of just wiping it down, I tipped it upside down as well. There was half a loaf of toasted breadcrumbs in there! The birds have had an extra breakfast treat

Mothers are supposed to be the Rock to which everything clings. Not the weeping, whining minnies that sap everyone else's strength.

And sometimes they need a hug too... Sometimes you just have to let it out and then re-charge - sometimes the rock has to let all the molten stuff out and explode... Your DD was there for you like you are there for her and sometimes they need to know they can be that too - it shows them that they don't have to be strong themselves all the time, because SOMETIMES it's hard to live up to that image...

Hugs hon, you obviously needed it - anything we can help with or life just getting you down in general? take care of yourself.

I'm a bit like that this week - am having massive self doubt that we will ever get out of debt - hubby earning really well, I'm earning well, yet we are still skint - I'm so sick of it - I work stuff out, it works out OK, and then nothing left again... I just can't seem to make ends meet and it's soul destroying... sorry guys, didn't mean to moan...

fernliebee - Happy Birthday!!!

Soappie - *huge hugs*

Lil-me - Thanks for the TMA reminder. I just checked my eCMA I submitted on Thursday and I got 100% :j:j:j

mummyyof5 - hugs for you and you little ones. It must be tough to cope with all those allergies. Just a couple of mild allergies here for me and they can prove hard enough to avoid aggravating even though they're not daily exposure things if you get my meaning :o

Blooming neighbours last night :mad: I was in bed and asleep by 9.30 last night and got woken up at something to 11 by a neighbour (opposite side of the road and 7 houses down) shouting at her neighbour with her dog barking like mad. Go back to sleep about 30 mins later only to be woken at 4am at them both having a go at the neighbour on the otherside which resulted in the police being called :mad::mad: I didn't get back to sleep until gone 5.30am by the time all the shouting and banging and slamming car doors had finished:mad::mad: I could hear them shouting inside their house with their door shut and my windows shut!!! This is the same neighbour who was having a fight in the middle of the street last weekend :rolleyes:

Anyways my list for today, I'm not going to do outside except the front. I haven't got the energy to do the back garden so I'll do that next weekend.I'm also not doing anymore extras since I don't need to to get my stars :

Morning folks

Got up at 7am and have been cleaning since and proud to tell you all the lists are done!!!! Toots I want loads of stars please!!!!

However OH can have his star removed, men and their bluddy toys, he was ment to be doing the hoovering, but tells me at 7.30am he is off to somewhere near Leeds to pick up his bike seat which he posted there a few weeks ago to have some work done to it, and it is now ready and they will post it back next week, can he wait, no, so he is now driving 3 hours each way approx to pick it up, so he can fix it back on to the bike and go out on it tomorrow!!

So he is in my bad books, and on top of that it was/ is roast beef for lunch today, guess I'll be eating on my own.

Rest of weekend list
Wash car it is MEGA DIRTY.
Weed some of the garden

Bradie my 2 year old is extremeley allergic to eggs and off the scale for peanuts I am so upset thats all my 3 boys now.

Hugs Mummyof5 - I am allergic to nuts, but only if I eat them do I get really bad so am pretty lucky in that way - I can't kiss hubby though when he's eaten any, even after he's cleaned his teeth, ect as still traces, so I really know how you feel, it is so worrying - you read every lable, check when eating out, etc, and everyone is paranoid about it so they say there could be nuts in everything and you only have a choice of about 2 things in the end... better safe than sorry I suppose...

I did however hear something on the news yesterday about a cure for nut allergies in children... I will go try to dig out... would be great if they do have...

Yep, here it is, about 3 years away they say, but better than nothing - hope on the horizon eh!... :j http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/7899383.stm
