Morning All

Kids were up at 5.30 - they don't get the fact that they could have a lie-in-seeing as it's the holidays!

Vanilla - hope your ring turns up.

Valli - don't forget whatever it is you're supposed to be doing - was it fetching a prescription? Not much help am I!

Hi to all newbies.

Going to hang the washing out in a minute as it's not raining and put the recycling out, then I'm going to have a bath before I start on my list which I'll post in a mo.

DH is on a night out tonight so I have no excuse really although the way the kids have been bickering this weekend I may be tearing my hair out! There are play sessions on at their school between 11 and 2 so we may go down there - only thing is I think I have to stay with them because they're under 8 so I'd better take a book with me.

Right I'll go and concoct a list.

Have a good day all

Morning all - cant stop got to get ready for work but though I would just say hi. Dont know who posted it sorry (took me ages to catch up) but I always buy decent cat flea stuff aswell and buy a spray for the house. This is the 2nd year in a row that she started with fleas early on and they make my skin crawl! She is now 7 years old and only the last 2 have been a problem. Thankfully after loads of trial and error last year I now know what to do to keep on top of it. The only thing I can think of is that the weather has made them hardier/worse....?

1. Phone home ins with crime ref.
2. Get out laptop details for when they ring about replacement
3. Take DS1 for archery gear
4. Trawl ebay for riding boots for DS1 & buy new hat(How come he has such expensive hobbies:rolleyes:)
5. Write to Nationwide

On another issue - I don't do Facebook but have 2 pairs of Age 13 black boys trousers which can go on uniform swap. Would someone kindly do this for me. Anyone who wants them can PM me. They're only from Matalan but are in very good condition considering they've been in use since September. They have adjustable waists(brilliant if you have skinny kids) & DS1 is 158cm and they are just starting to look a little short on him.

I've just put another load in the WM to find that DD has put all her clean clothes which were folded up in her bedroom waiting for me to put away in the wash when she was tidying her bedroom.:mad: Well I'm not washing and ironing them again, they can go back in her bedroom!

Right I'm going to put the recycling out and then get in the bath.

See you in a bit!
