W hello
sounds like you have had a wonderful day, well done for being good! http://www.avkids.com/hangar/ a little website W might like
when he gets up (because I think he will be in bed by now
)
mrsmortenharket take care of yourself, time out from housework won't hurt for now!
rach **hugs** honey, wish I had something more constructive to say
soappie awww poor little girl needing an op, we'll all have our fingers firmly crossed for the results coming back giving her the all clear. **hugs** for you both x With the garage, do farm vehicles carrying manure not need to go past regularly?
Jo drop me a PM with what you want to know about the OU
emily pleased I made you laugh
I can laugh now but at the time I was oooohhhhh so

:rotfl: my dog likes higher up places and can curl in a titchy ball when he wants to pretend he's invisable if he's on the bed etc
toots nope hydrotorture finished....that's when my knees started playing up again (have had bother for years) because I was using them more instead of my back....bother!
embb will remind you closer to the time!
mozzy bless her, hope she is feeling better soon.. Fingers crossed you get more sleep too x
hex nomnomnom yes please!!!
Summermoon www.dogpages.org.uk and www.therefuge.org.uk have private rehoming pages
mumoffour77 hope your Gran is better soon. Wow, 6 bedrooms, dare I ask why? I am pleased the brat has been made to apologise. I do however have quite, personal should I call them, opinions on punishment. A really long haul punishment for a child doesn't usually work, however none isn't going to do much either. What I would suggest is keep communication open with the parent and ensure she's made aware of what goes on as it does sound like she cares.
g&b that's not on, I remember DPs last uni doing that several times. COMPLAIN! Pleased to hear LO is recovering well, little trooper!
mumofjusttwo - lots of options - couple of spoons of soda crystals, white vinegar, proper WM/DW cleaner etc. I usually use soda crystals at a very high temp 70 degrees+ and put my cloths in with it.
Ok DS2s annoying me, I am going to get him a tag blanket see if it helps. Not just twiddling the dogs ear now but caught him earlier, I said 'stop licking the dogs ear' he replied 'not lick it sucking' urgh! He's twiddling or sucking on anything and everything which is driving me insane! Unless someones got some spare material who can sew and fancies making one suitable for an 8 year old boy?
My MACAW (just decided) to clear 2 boxes from conservatory!
Right, this evening. I need to do some study time.....not that there is much of the evening left now to do it in
schedules gone to pot at the mo, need to revisit and redo plans I think. Still no idea what is wrong with my knee, pain relief taking the edge off but haven't taken any for a while so I can have them for the night time, need sleep! I'm at physio Wednesday so can mention it then. Meeting went well today, with another parent, think Thursday's meeting could be a little 'confrontational' so need to have a script done ready in my head....
Toots I finished todays list, can I have a star please
One day I might be more organised...........

I think this is a binbag dance:DFling Boogie - stick on some loud music, grab a binbag and whizz around the house finding items that can go out with the rubbish, recycling, for charity shop, basically anything that will stop it cluttering your home.:jIm going to be frugal:j:DIm going to be frugal:D;)Im going to be frugal;)Beetlejuice Beetlejuice...................:rotfl:0

Phoned my Gran, she was pleased and was about to phone me she said! Bless her.
I've also sorted my lunch for tomorrow (did 2 days worth last night for DH) changed into my pjs, folded some laundry and put the WM on. DH is being sweet as he knows I'm not 100% (bit of an upset tummy too which could explain the tears today if I'm not quite right!) and found me starting to fly in the kitchen and sent me back to the sofa...He also brought me his snuggly fleece to put on
I popped into M&S on my way home tonight to buy some tights as I felt like wearing a skirt this week and treated myself to a nice top at the same time, will have to try it on later to see if it fits.
