    No stars for me this week. I've had a complete CBA week! Next week the children can do their bit - it's half term.

    Oh flipping Internet!
    DS logs on - ex GF logs off bebo or facebook or MSN...he then goes into distraught mood. he's wearing the chain she gave him. I can't cope with this.
    I suggested he actually phone her so he has. He's reading every little thing she posts and applying it to them...not sensible IMHO

    DS's bedroom looking pretty good. Dogs walked for another hour and a half....they're looking shattered!!! Friend who was supposed to phone at 1pm has just phoned - I didn't answer because I'm soooooooooooo grown up!!!:rotfl:

    DW emptied, two washing loads done, had to dry towels in dryer as weather is pants here. Just going to clean the dining room table then i'll be back! :rotfl:

    Glad the walk was lovely.....I'm averaging about two and a half hours a day now (so why aren't I stick thin??:confused::D) xx

    My feet are aching, I'm having a glass of wine, I have an ear on a Miss Marple on the TV and I'm trying to do my OU CMA. It's due in midnight Monday, but as I'm in Newport most of that day I want to submit it tomorrow.

    I suspect given the three distractions at the beginning of my opening sentence, I shall have to double check the answers tomorrow!

    Glad the walk went well and that the weather was ok.

    I had a lovely day (despite chronic stomach ache), collecting two kittens this morning, then off to my parents for the day to deliver the kittens to them. Lovely to have someone else feed me, and great to come back with four trays of plants from my ever generous parents.

    Dusty - not again on the virus? Poor you.
    Viv - hope you are feeling better
    Mudbath - I really like the black cherry tart, just wanted to say thanks again for mentioning them in the first place

    Still havent cleaned anything - it is officially the longest ever I haven't hoovered for :o. Truely horrible in here, been waiting for DH to get off the phone for the last hour and a half so I can get it done before I go for a long soak in the bath.

    Thrifty, thanks for reminding me there is washing in the machine!

    Valli, Ahhh, young love! I fell in love when I was 12 and moped about for about 3 years! I'm so glad now that Im not with the bloke I liked then! Perhaps it will turn out that way for your DS.
