We have been away for a few days, and I have had a major attack of CBA/BD since. House is a pit, and I still can't be bothered - last week is the first week I didn't get every star
. I must at least S&S and hoover today before we sink back into CHAOS.
Thanks Hex. Sorry you've been down in the dumpsters.... I think there's a lot of it about at the moment. Hope things will start to improve really soon.

Morning flyers - must do an Avon order for suncream today - do the cash backsites have Avon?
Raining here but I braved it in my PJs to put the rubbish out - glad I did - maggots, :eek:ewwww, I thought that might happen when a fly flew out earlier in the week when I openned the lid (we are talking outside bin here).
A cat has obviously eaten a mouse, how do I know, she did not want her breakfast and there was a neat untouched organ on the kitchen floor :eek:(liver/gall bladder?)
Sorry was anyone eaten their breakfast?:rotfl:
Time for a shower and then off to Mum's for the morning.

Nicki - you cannot do this two days running :eek:
Do we need to do a concerted nag???0 -
SS - thanks for the info on the internet, sorry for your friend's family. I did check the history on the lappie last night. My kids have got viruses before from free cricket tv sites so have learnt not to wander but always safe to keep an eye. I think internet safety is a bit like s$x education - start early. Right from when they are on cbeebies, club penguin get them to use user names not their real ones, explain your username on MSE all that sort of thing, drip drip approach.
Hex - hugs hun I hate CBA days xThe birds of sadness may fly overhead but don't let them nest in your hair0 -

Take a hug, Hex :grouphug: I quite often feel like this, so go back to baby steps. Just do 15mins at a task, then STOP! It's amazing how much you can get done.
Take another hug :grouphug::D
