    Valli :T :T love the April foll joke - well done - bet there was some groaning after wards!!!
    summermoon well cut off his .........wotsits....thingymejigs.........cant think of the word........no not his [EMAIL="b@lls"]b@lls[/EMAIL] (dirty minds!!!)....his nookie for wont of a better word!!!! Go on strike with his things(washing, cooking garden etc) - only do stuff for you and the kids:confused: I could do that but maybe you couldnt - if someone wasnt being supportive like that to me then I would talk to them and tell them what I was expecting and see if you cant reach a compromise (says she who isnt married and would probably wait on him hand and foot:confused: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: ) sorry honey I am not much good at hubby things but stop making decisions for him - only deal with the important stuff and let him be a silly man for a while - he will get fed up (I hope) I do hope the others can give you more sensible ideas - but remember we are here with you and come and rant any time and get more ridulous help from me! Huge (((hugs)))
    soappie big hug for BB and a slurp from Gordon for you - thank goodness its all past now. Of course you can substitute a similar job - like you do with the utility room.
    witchypoo I am pleased to hear OH got through it ok - I hope they dont take too long to get his meds sorted - at least they know what they are dealing with now. ((hugs))

    well my HHC was a a non starter - I had managed to empty the DW and did a pm to someone when the phone went at 5pm - it was NOF - 45 mins later I went back to the kitchen :rolleyes: and started again - 6.40 phone goes again - Mother the Dragon:mad: 7.15 did catch up on here and now its 7.42 and I have had no tea and still have a house like a bombsite - I could crush a grape!!!!.............or something!!!:rotfl: :rotfl:

    I WILL get something done :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

    For those caravaniers amongst us, there's a documentary on BBC2 at 8pm about the British and their love for caravaning. Looks quite interesting. I shall watch it.

    Holiday in May confirmed and cheque written ready to post :D
    Living room sorted apart from the lampshades (which will be my substitute job). I'll do that shortly

    Planned I think:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

    Just sorted through a box of clothes that my SIL gave me for Piper and most will fit her now, or at least she will get them on in the summer (we are having one of those this year aren't we?), and now her wardrobe is so packed I think I heard the rail crack:eek: . I'm going to sort through the boys stuff tomorrow to see what they need for the summer.
    Oh! question where can I buy childrens belts from? I used to get them in Woolies.

    Toots list All done:D

    No housework for me today, have enormous headache, ds (4 months) has recently learnt how to scream, incredibly high pitched shreiking screams all day whether he's happy or sad!! Trust me not to have a nice little contented bundle of joy! just found a wispa bar lurking at the back of the cupboard and about to put the cuppa on. Will do Thursdays chores tomorrow!

    Pollybear - slugs... I put vaseline on my pots last year, and it kept them off the aubegine :D
    Dusty - glad the funeral went ok. You've done fantastically well sorting it all out
    Pigpen - I think everyone has already said all there is to say (especially toots - she's got a way with words ;) ). Just to repeat what the others have said, my thoughts are with you and shout if you need anything.
    Toots - FIND A DENTIST

    Well done Froddy for picking this weekend for the meet... at least we won't have to worry about the site being down! I plan to be with you at 12.30ish, but I usually leave the house later than planned :o

    The most GINORMOUS spider just walked up to me in the kitchen. So I stepped on it... it's now in the bin. It was seriously huge... I could see it's face :eek: So now I'm going to be panicking that there are more of them around.

    I managed to get up in time to for a swim this morning :j (I was so knackered when I got out of the pool I could barely make it up the 4 flights of stairs to the changing room!), have been to work where I dealt with the management consultants that my director kindly sprung on me at 5pm yesterday :rolleyes: , arranged to speak to one of my suppliers about additional resource (they're coming in tomorrow to work out who they need to do the stuff I need doing) asap for a month, did loads of other stuff, didn't do the stuff that needed doing... went for a walk :j , came home, did my physio :D , cooked & ate supper while catching up here.

    Now I need to clear out my gym bag, pack it up for tomorrow, make my breakfast and lunch, find my list and see if there's anything I can get done tonight, have a bath, do another lot of physio and finally go to bed.

    Keep sending the wake-up vibes froddy... they're definitely working ;)
