    neveah no nagging required i'll be ok later i think :rolleyes: i've got tomorrow after college now to get stuff done so it'll be fine.

    Happy Birthday Carlbergal :beer:.

    The funniest thing just happened:rolleyes: i was sitting crossed legged on my computer chair ( which is actually a dining chair) and i dunked a biscuit in my coffee. The end of it fell straight in between my legs. I didn't want to move as i'd get biscuit all over my jeans that i'd just put on. I looked around for something to clean it up with and i noticed some face wipes on my bedside table. I leaned back to reach them and fell off the chair:o. I somehow managed not to get biscuit on me though:j:rolleyes:.

    Hi all

    Ive had a catch up of the thread now...... And I cant remember all the things I wanted to say..... let me think.

    KAZ - thanks for showing us the pictures of your house. Its so much bigger than mine (by the looks of it - your bedroom certainly is!) which like you say, gives you more room for more stuff!

    Feefeelalabelle and Poohbear - We ALL have felt like you guys do - I very rarely get stars, but I dont think about it like that. I see a MASSIVE improvement to my house, and whats nice, is now that Ive been doing it for a while, other people have noticed a big difference too. You will get there by doing a little bit at a time, and as the weeks go on, it gets a little bit easier and, stars or not, and you should focus on your achievements. Thats what I do - there are plenty other 'special' people like us who fly, work hard and dont get stars! xx

    Toots - I hope you are taking it easy lovely. What a fab idea about opening the door and focusing on the one things that 'jumps out at you'. Im going to try that!

    KAZ quiet but HUGE congrats! (why are you only telling them 2 days before?? Are they not invited? Lol! Sorry if someone else has asked and I missed it!)

    TooChoosey - What a fab looking nappy cake! Well done you, you should be so proud of yourself! You could, if you were able to, pop down to your local florsit who may sell you a metre of the cellophane wrap for a few pence......would finish it off perfectly. (not that you dont have enough to do - sorry - I shall just create more work for you!) Its fab! I would have loved one of those!

    Dusty - Thanks for the fingers crossed about the car - it worked!!!! My car didnt need anything doing to it!! Not even an advise.......absolutely perfect.....(thank god really cos Im skint!)

    AnW's Mum - Im sorry, that was potentially a bit thoughtless of me, but I always name my book when Im typing about it (just in case anyone wants to know.......cos I always wonder about other peoples books!) - Ive read it before and really love it. Its the only book Ive read that's made me laugh in one sentence and cry in the very next! (Or vice versa!) Im sure you will relate to lots of the book and will hopefully evoke lots of happy memories for you too! Either way a big massive squishy hug from me! Have you seen the film?

    Im sure there were others, but thats all I can remember for now.

    Love n hugs to everyone and apologies for those Ive missed xxx

    toochoosey - thats fabulous - i would be so pleased to get that as a gift - it shows how much you have thought about it - well done - what about christmas curly ribbon - do you have blue or silver lurking in your christmas stuff maybe? You will still have time to get some do you - you can get nice baby stuff thats patterned with teddybears etc - and you could maybe get a couple of sheets of cellaphane from a florist if you ask nicely and it will keep it all clean for delivering it.
    holly LMAO but hope you didnt hurt yourself.
    toots xx
    Peace will be mine
    could do better - must try harder
    Live each day as if its your last
