            Hi all,
 Natty, i'm so sorry to hear about Lodgercat.
 I've been shopping with Dsd2 and left both Ds's with Dsd1. By the time i got home the house was a state:eek:. I'm going to make a start on Ds2's room then go and sort downstairs out.
 I've just put a load of washing on the airer, one minute it's all sunny the next it's looking like it's going to chuck it down.

 I have DONE THE WHOLE LOT
 The whole house
 everything
 DDs room yesterday, my room today *glow*
 but I just 'ran away' for 30 minuted becasue DS (who has been on runescape since yesterday) had a phone call - could he go to Riley's?
 "well - with what?"
 "with the money from the DVD you took back"
 "But that's to pay for the Ashes cricket for the Wii you asked me to order"
 "Grandma's paying for that"
 "No she isn't..."
 he got shouty (which IMHO is verbal bullying) so rather than stay and argue as his mate was here I walked out - came back 30 minutes later to peace and quiet!
 I am waiting with baited breath to see how he copes with a monthly allowance..I am going to make him sign a contract which sets out what I expect him to pay for from that allowance - personal requisites, phone credits then he can't argue!
 I have done loads of washing, pegged it out, brought it in pegged out out brought it in dried hair pegged it out.... ho hum!Don't put it DOWN; put it AWAY"I would like more sisters, that the taking out of one, might not leave such stillness" Emily Dickinson Janice 1964-2016 Janice 1964-2016 
 Thank you Honey Bear0

            Been in from work since 12.30 and I've done !!!!!!all, snoozed for a bit then had a phone call from my boss saying the business has gone under so If I wish to keep all the customers I can, also means I now have to have liability insurance and keep proper accounts eek!
 I knew it was coming so not a complete surprise, I was kinda left to get on with it anyway and my customers will no doubt be thrilled cause they hated having to pay them their share when I did all the work lol Sooooo technically I now have my own business - oerrrr.
 Need to:- S&S kitchen (again) file some paperwork and do this weeks lists ....not likely but I should the house is a midden.0

            Huge Hugs Natty...so sorry to hear about lodgercat.
 We've not done much here today. I've felt quite tired. My friend came round for a couple of hours with her two boys so the girls had a nice play with them. The weather is driving me mad though. There's brilliant sunshine for about 5 minutes then it clouds over and pours down. Then its sunny, then it pours, then its sunny, then it pours.....and so on all day! So they had all of about 10 minutes in the garden.
 Going to tidy the lounge now they've gone then get the pizza dough from the freezer for the girls tea. Then I'll do a bit more in my bedroom I think. The girls are going to have a chill out watching Ice Age on the laptop now. Hopefully I can hook it up to the TV for them.
 Right, time to move. Will get the kids set up and do some tidying. See you later.0
