    nicki hope you manage to get the TMA done

    :rotfl::rotfl: I did of sorts, the last question was about rewriting something which I haven't a clue how to go about so I have a feeling this will be the crash of this course. As long as I get over 40% I don't mind... so its submitted with a few minutes to spare this time ;) Now I just need to concentrate on my NVQ work and I should be okay by the end of the month....either that or completely round the bend! :rotfl::rotfl:

    To keep this on topic : I've done the towels, decluttered some random items out of the fridge into my tummy and now I'm quitting for the night :p :wave:

    I have decluttered 1 and a half pounds of fat from my body.:D

    As working late I left a huge message on the white board, asking, very nicely, if they would do some specific jobs for me before I got home.

    Guess what they did, bless them so my DD's

    DW x 2

    Handwashed all the really big items.

    Put bottles and jars away in kitchen.

    Wiped worktops

    Peeled spuds for Christmas dinner

    Set the table

    Generally tidied up :T :T :T :T


    So THANK YOU GIRLS FOR HELPING ME OUT :happylove

    I made Christmas dinner, turkey all the trimmings including bread sauce and cranberry sauce, yum.:D


    Can't remember too much, had a bit of trouble logging on, Jayjay, dunno what that linky thing was in your post but I clicked on it and then couldn't thank or get on another page. :confused: Whatever it is it's stopped now because I'm here.:rotfl:
