    Oh well, I did the best I could given the fact the door went 5 times (window cleaner, avon lady, 2 x 'can I get my ball please' and a 'would you like bloomin double glazing'.....) usually the door goes once/twice a day! Then of course the phone rang several times which is highly annoying. I did manage to get a question completed, then my brain started to fry on the next section as the children were needing putting to bed who of course seemed to be pushing their luck but was probably just my stress levels emphasising it :o

    Having half an hour break now until 9pm then will do another hour before bed at least, I know it'll get to the stage where I have to call it the end and submit what I can do but will keep digging away at it.
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    Just some catch ups - but apologies if I have missed you out - I have been getting interupted - by well meaning people- but I kept losing my place and I am sure I had marked other tabs to answer as well - or maybe thats the senile bit of me:confused:

    Yes Toots they are the same but I don't think DS will be impressed by it. Only every so often but then it's 5 times a day!
    aw poor wee man - maybe once he is old enough to do it himself it wont be such a thought for him (((hugs)))
    .......and if it comes back positive i have to take him to the hospital to have extra tests to check all is as it should be. Seems a bit OTT to me. Surely a course of ABs will sort it out?
    .... but i need to do what is best for me.
    aw hugs michelle honey - you are certainly needing them just now - poor wee DS - hope its just a run of the mill infection - they are probably just wanting to make sure his kidneys are functioning ok - try not to get too stressed about it - I am sure they are just being careful - especially will all the flu going about.
    And yes YOU do need to put your own self first - try for a phone chat or if not ask for a re-schedule - thats not being unco-operative - if they push it then speak to your Doc.

    thats good news about William and your DH - hope they manage to help JT - and WTG RHys - thats an excellent weight - you mustbe doing everything right - clever you.:T:T
    jinky hope your headache is away by the morning -sleep well
    mudbath I see AnW's Mum suggested the hose i was going to suggest a bucket of warm soappy water outside - it might take the worst of without too much effort! I didnt know cats ate library cards!!!!
    soappie I am sure you argued a great case for the dismissal. How long until your 'client' hears?
    polly how is woof today? and maybe your headache is from next door's fumes?
    triker nice to see you honey - I was asking where you were? have you been having a hard time at work then?
    feefeelalabelle WTG :T:T you have done loads today and you have a star for your hard work - well done.
    Mrs Beatson - its nice to see you again - and congratulations on your new home - I am sure you will have it sparkling! How about burning a few of his bits when you iron and he may see that its safer to get someone to do it than you ruining his favourite whatever??? As for clearing the loft and taking 2 days - what on earth did you have up there - I may have to give a special award star for that since we dont do brownie points :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
    FFP now you really didnt need to test the fire alarm that quickly :rotfl:- well it just shows it works and if you hadnt had it...well who knows! better to be safe. Hope you managed some studying too. Thats a shame that DS didnt win anything - he looks very smart and handsome in his t-shirt.
    SS supergirl aw what a shame for you and DD3 - I hope she wasnt too upset. Hope you have been resting since you got home and gargled again for that nasty throat - its probably been caused by tooooo much cheescake:rotfl: early to bed for you now that you are a working lady!!! Hope this week feels less tiring.
    bevan - I hope you have managed to catch up with some of your dishes and you feel a bit better tonight - you seem to have found a way that works with your OH so stick with it and try to add a few little jobs to his housework-CV!!
    lil_me the dog walker sounds worth the extra - I hope your woof takes to her ok. I am glad OH has improved (well maybe not judging by your later post!) and isnt nursemaid to his bruv for now. have a big squishy (((hug)))
    hex when did you get the kitten - I dont think I knew that?

    AnW'sMum - well done to you and the SW's for not needing anything at the dentist - a great result.
    ladyL - I hope you got your parcels posted eventually and the buyer turned up ok - what a nuisance - the 'teensiest bit naughty' sounds ominous:rotfl::rotfl: do they wind each other up and get into things together or is it one more than the other - are they related? Hope you are having loads of cuddles with them and taking it easy.
    jjef hope the assignment goes well tonight - it will be good to get it finished.
    pigpen I have lost the place with you and college - are you on holiday or something? was the vet happy with Hazel? Is the injection just a precaution or has the wound got infected?
    holly - hope the migraine has fully gone (((hugs))) they are dreadful things to get.

    Hugs to all the BD sufferers and anyone esle feeling under par.

    will update you on my day shortly - after I have done the stars!!
    toots xx
    Peace will be mine

    Awww thanks Toots just had a snooze while the Beeny was on. Feel a little better for it.

    Huge load of washing done, dried and folded. Children all dispatched to bed early tonight. They all look really tired, so hopefully they'll sleep well.

    I do believe I may head off to bed in a minute or so. :)
