    Justamum awh bless her - I hope she loves it - My DB and SIL had the same problem with their LO's wanting to know if it was the day for something so they put a big red star on the day of the calendar and then helped them cross off a day every morning up to it and that worked great. What a bummer about your glasses!
    greenbee something esle gone - you must have nearly reclaimed the garage now?
    Jo you will get sacked for being on the internet so much!! LOL!!!!

    ok I can kinda understand the Duvet cover and have been known to do this myself (rarely), but the SHEET??!?!?! Isnt it going to stretch over the mattress and flatten itself out anyway?!? :rotfl: If its just because you dont have enough to do already, you are always welcome round mine!! Ive got plenty! :D Anyway, good luck with your weigh-in this week - hope you havent put on! Since Ive started going to the gym and stopped eating rubbish, Ive lost ZERO pounds! :rolleyes: Whats all that about! Just as well I dont really care! :D

    Because I didn't fold it and put it away when I grought it in from the line it was really creased and horrible, so needed a quick iron before going on the bed. I don't usually iron fitted sheets! The duvet cover is still there... :o

    Right... I've sorted the cupboard under the sink. I need to get cracking on the rest of the kitchen as I have to be in the gym for 6pm. Off to locate my list!

    ETA - toots - there is still plenty of stuff in the garage unfortunately, and it takes up a lot of room as it isn't as carefully organised as it has been in the past! Still, it's progress, and I will be doing a tip run soon to get rid of the odds and ends. At least I've managed to get the kayak back in there!

    Hiya... *yawn* *stretch* :wave:

    Goodness me Toots it doesn't sound long when you say it like that!!!! I'd best get saving to pay for it!! :D

    I've had a nice nap, and read my book in bed, so I feel a little less zapped! I'm going to make dinner now... Pork burgers - I make them with chorizo and red pepper :drool: - and sweet potato wedges. I've been eating rubbish food while I've been ill, which is not helping!

    I know xxJoxx google is indespensible!!! Particularly with a laptop and wireless broadband!!!

    It's because you're going to the gym. The scales don't tell the whole story - you should measure yourself too. Muscle weighs more than fat but is more compact. This is why the BMI is not such a good way of telling if you are overweight or not - a healthy athlete would appear to be fat using the BMI!
