    Mmmmm after ending up spending an hour an a half on the phone to Little Bruv, then me dad rang and then ex hubby rang I don't appear to have crossed much off my list:rolleyes:

    However, I have done and hung out 4 loads of washing, 5th is in the machine. Wiped the d/s loo over including walls, door and mirrors etc. Just need to scrub the inside of the toilet once the Harpic has had time to work. Bunged some Harpic down the bathroom loo as well. It's minging:o :eek:

    Oh and I'm bleaching the black mold off of the sealant around DS bedroom window at the moment as well. Worked a treat yesterday on DD's. It's lovely and white now.

    In case anyone is interested - stick some neat bleach on some cotton wool and then stick it on to the sealant you want bleaching. Leave for a couple of hours, rinse off and job done. My kind of flying;) I don't know if the bleach will eventually eat through the sealant:confused: but I wouldn't have thought so?:confused:

    OK off to catch up with the thread.

    rach-any news on the London meet. Not sure if I will be able to make it as DH/ex is working away for home over the week so may not be down to look after the children :(

    Embb-I still love him but I don't think that I really trust him so don't think we could make it work anyway :(

    sadly I don't really have many friends (spent the last 10 years being wife and mother)

    Anyway I will always enjoy the holidays that I have with DS and DD especially when they are young.

    Brilliant news Tag, I'm so pleased for you and him and the rest of his troop - the sooner they're all home, the better... :T:T:T:T:T:T:T:T

    As for DS, ???? what's he been hinting at recently? :rotfl:But if you want to swap him for my stroppy little B&*%^$ (please excuse my poor french...:rolleyes:) because you will probably hear on the news tonight about the murder of a 15yo in Basildon - very, very, very close to loosing it...:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

    Ummmm no thanks you can keep him :p
