oh no to the chicken pox, DD had it few months ago and being housebound was soul destroying!! I'm sure you are most contagious a day or 2 before spots appear so just keep eye out over next coiuple of weeks. We were worried DH would catch it but felt safe once we got past the 2 week mark!
I know how you feel about the tidying, sometimes I just shut the playroom door and hope no one looks through the window at the mess!

cha, I just wanted to pop in and say thank you so much for your sponosorship, you are a superstar, good old Dansmum suggesting I set up a 'Just Giving' page, she has really got me going...I am so greatful for everyones support. The people at Breast Cancer Care will be so pleased. Must update my page as I managed to get some more people to sponosor tonight. I wish more people would give on line rather than pay me direct as the charity get so much more if it is done on line...sorry enough waffling, I am just amazed how many people are willing to give.:A

My kids wear there clothes at least twice, sometimes three times if we are going nowhere after school, they are only wearing them a few hours a night though, not all day.
I sometimes wear something to work and then put it back in the wardrobe to wear again next week.
I try not to use my dryer if I can. with the heating on a couple of hours at night its nice to get them dry and I love the smell of clothes drying in the hallway.MPs left feb '08 276- Dec 13 36 :T MB Jan 10 ~ £82,377 Dec 13 ~ £29987

Sorry to hear you're feeling run down Michelle.
I had to blush when I saw this
as I've never ever done 4 loads in a day (yet) and would feel like I'd done well just by doing two loads!4 loads of washing done, but nothing else though.
Hope you enjoyed your fish n chip sn wine yesterday
