    . which really means I should change into some more respectable clothes (current trousers held up by safety pin and t-shirt has bleach stains) and get myself in the car...

    No you should go like that and make 'em feel guilty because you are now a poor unemployed person...

    It is a merekat (sp ?) which we saw at Calderglen Park in East Kilbride.
    Actually about to change Avi so for anyone wondering what I am on about it is no longer a merekat (or won't be lol).

    Elly... whatever the result.. there are so many worse things it could be.. and if she is old enough to be doing that, she should be going to buy her own test.. :p

    Dusty.. I still have 2 of the kittens.. the boy is off to Oh's sisters next weekend so we still have the 2 girls.. DD2 wants to keep Peter, OH wants to keep Polly and DD4 wants to keep Penny... ARGH!!! lol

    Other than that I have showered DD5 today when she came in from the garden having stripped naked and rolled in mud... Good job I have students next door who won't even be out of bed for another 2 hours!!

    embb.. I have 5 back to school the 8th Spet, 2 back the 9th and I don't know when DS1 is back to college.. I should be getting my start date at some point in the next week or so too.. :s

    Shower time for me I think.. before I stick to things!!

    Triker.. buzzcocks to the feng shui... put the bed wherever you want it.. I had mine under the window in the hovel as it was the only place in the room it would fit.. the trouble started when we moved here!

    Was busy being super mum and domestic goddess. Had done most of my levels with a bit of grout cleaning to be saved for listening to the radio later, had cut down an old ikea table to make a lower art table for the children - mostly so they stop messing my kitchen table. had waved hubby off on his week of nights, complete with basket of provisions and was just baking brownies to take on our walk with a flask of coffee when all he" broke loose in the sitting room 3year old said that 5 year old had pulled her hair, 5 year old said that 3 year old had bit her, they both suddenly twigged that i was baking with chocolate so abandoned the lego to come and "help" I had very cleverly divided the recipe into thirds as the original calls for 3 eggs and i have 2 and they are now in the oven baking......except i've just realised that they only have half the ammount of flour that they are meant to. 1 very nice bar of chocolate wasted. do you think they will be salvageable when the pinger goes in 10????
