    Morning ladies just about to try to catch up with you a bit

    Dusty - how are you getting on with your virus removal???????????/

    PC is spending a lot of time being told to scan this and do that (hence being so behind with the thread). PC is acting fine but more viruses found this morning so let's say WIP. I tend to go with what the techies say but OH is back now and 'helping' and prefers to go with what his mate says but as he is not here now it is back to the techie board for me:rotfl:

    :mad::mad:
    The cat has been on the sofa and got muddy marks all over the (fabric) cushion cover. I wouldn't mind but they've been washed at the weekend so were spotless!!!!!!

    Going for a look around the nursery round the corner this morning, well in advance of DD2 getting her free sessions (she's not 3 until December). But round here there can be long waiting lists for all the good ones so thought we'd get in early. Think she will end up going there as I know already its a good one. My niece and my friend's DS already go. Will have to have a think what I can do with myself when she eventually goes. Would rather get a part time job in the day than work late night like I do now.

    Did the bathroom last night in the hopes it would be the room of the day. Oh well!

    Will join you for 15 minutes Holly, then we'll be off to nursery at 9.50. Will do a HHC when I get back though.

    Piggers and SS huge congratulations to you both.

    I really need to get thinking about what I want to do next. I like being a SAHM but I need more 'stimulation' the invigilating is fine but not exactly mind blowing.

    I want to walk to town today but it was so cold going to school that I'm going to let it warm up a bit first.

    So plan is to:
    Finish my dalies
    Clean the bathroom
    strip DS2 bed
