    Boddy meant to say earlier, hope you're DD's ok, how fabulous is she visiting her ex's mam like that, who by the way I send thoughts and love to, Bless her x

    It's boiling! :eek: I think I've caught the sun whilst driving about in the car, well down my right side anyway lol Just finished work and I'm now mega-ready to have a snooze, just me in the house so I can.

    Princess Jane "OH says not to touch but I fling a few things on the sly every now and then!"

    Last haul was two bags for the charity shop plus a bag of stuff that was just to grim to go anywhere but the bin - unwashed clothes, including underwear - eeeek!

    Just slung two towels covered in hair dye and/or general filth.

    I am a total Monica when it comes to tidying but OH is constantly battling a dark side inherited from you know who.

    He would quite happily get into bed unwashed and un-teeth brushed after a hard day's graft it I didn't banish him to the bathroom.

    When we met he used to indulge in "showers in a can" i.e. body spray in lieu of washing.

    No, no and no some more.

    Have i really not been here since Tuesday? I have read everything this week though and survived my 1st week back in the land of the working without to much loss of the will to live. It has made me very tired. I very stupidly dropped a full cup of tea this morning which very narrowly missed DS2 so i was very lucky. However, my very crappy non-wipeable paint installed prekids now is covered in splashes, including the ceiling. We are going to tackle it with a baby wipe in the hope it will look less obvious, although i can't start messing around trying to paint walls now.


    poohbear hope today goes really well for you, your DD and your family. G

    GandB a very happy birthday to you
