    Justamum that made me laugh, stop it it hurts :rotfl: awww bless her! My friends little boy until he started school himself had to carry a packed lunch, with his lunch in, every day to school to drop his brother off.
    Jo, nope, if DS1 puts his head up, he sinks....take his arm bands off and he forgets how to swim
    greenbee will look into that as the gas is throught BG

    Well I've emptied my car, sorted through quite a lot of what is to go back to the new caravan weighing it as I go......DPs a little obsessed with making sure weights are right. Anyway I have only filled the boot for now so I can use it for tonight. Need to find DS1s spare swimming stuff and DS2s cubs stuff. Think I might go in the shower now, wake myself up a bit.
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    Check the unit prices for your area on your current tariff and the new one... I'm on click 6, and for where I live it's cheaper to stay put!

    I guess I'm making progress, although the study is going to be a challenge :o (as usual, everything has migrated in there and not been dealt with). I'm off to get changed and go to the gym, as I'm meeting a friend there to do some CV stuff.

    Evening everyone

    xx-Jo-xx - you're feeling very raw at the moment - that's natural. But it will pass, trust me.

    Happy birthday Triker

    Dusty - hope your toothache improves

    Mudders - hope your cold improves. How's your Dad now?

    And hugs to everyone else who needs them.

    xx-Jo-xx - my eyes are just about back to normal. Never did get to the chemist. And I'm coping. Last day tomorrow! Though mentally, I left about a week ago. I should be able to leave just before 2pm. I'll nip into Mr. T on the way home to get some essential weekend provisions.

    I'm off to my sister's on Saturday for her engagment do. I've decided not to drive nor stop overnight, I'll catch the train. DD is coming too and DS will probably come if I can get him out of bed in time. Their respective partners are working. Have arranged with NN to come and feed Beffy Boo and the cats as we probably won't be back until about 11pm.

    I'm now off to attempt some flying. I doubt I'll get far. I'm just not in the mood. It's extremely grey here at the moment. Maybe I need to give myself a stiff kick up the derriere...
    I am the leading lady in the movie of my life

    Peace will be mine

    Aw holly - this sounds like my house (except I only have one!) He takes about 30 mins in the shower cos he is busy singing to himself and mucking around making bubbles. Then it takes him an absolute AGE to get dressed and eat! I also laugh when I read your post about your "microwave hotspot"! I seem to permanently have one of those too!!! :rotfl:

    My hubby is a nightmare when we are trying to get ready. We have to leave tonight at 6:15, he's been home since about 1:30. After much nagging from me he got in the bath at 5ish, and he's only just started washing. Considering that I've got to get in there and wash and wash my hair I'm not impresssed. This happens everytime we have to go out. It makes me very stressed.


    OMG - what a "Rosepink's word for Idiot!!" Never going to live it down am I? :o

    Princess Jane - hows things with the MiL? Is she under the floorbaords yet?
    :rotfl::rotfl:

    I'm off to get in the bath, see you tomorrow xx
