    hi everyone

    been missing in action for a couple of days but still on top of things - like rosepink i'm going to have a look and see what i need to do to get a star - i want at least one and it shouldn't be too hard as whole house is pretty decent.

    which brings me on to dh:mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: as you can probably see i'm quite mad at him.

    tuesday night dd hurt her leg again at tae kwon do (she's on crutches again!) so we spent over 4hrs at a&e and got home after 1 am - now, i like my sleep and don't function well without it so came in from work yesterday had tea and fell asleep on sofa, woke up and went to bed. got up this morning and everything from last nights tea was still left on the kitchen benches. by everything i mean 2 pans, 4 plates, cups and cutlery so it wasn't even a huge amount :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

    anyway back to the lists - i feel better for having got that off my chest.

    hugs
