    Go to Boots at the weekend and get a makeover (book today / tomorrow if needed) and treat yourself to one of the foundation / concealer products they use. Tell us all when the program is due to be aired xx

    Best of luck

    I have let go of the window sills & windows in the kitchen as I am working for the next 2 days and I am sure they will come around again next week. Haven't got the energy to do them today after doing WM x 5:eek:. Wash baskets are not overflowing anymore tho:o. Off now to get everything ready for tomorrow & do a bit of ironing before taking DS1 to swimming club. Have a good evening everyone.

  • Pigpen...so sorry to hear your sad news. My thoughts are with you and all your family. x

    Congrats to Great Grandma Boddy! Hope the LO is doing well.

    Zoe...OMG! Just reading about everything you've got going on is enough for me! How exciting about the film crew coming. :eek: about nursery!!!

    Mudbath...how's DS today? DD2 had a UTI when she was 9 months old and ended up in hospital for 4 days on IV AB's but after a couple of scans there were no abnormalities for her. Hope he gets the all clear too.

    Jinky...know how you feel about the tax credits. Apparently we owe them £2,800!:eek: If you can't afford to pay you can do a financial statement over the phone and pay a small amount back per month. We pay £20 per month.


    DD2 (age 2) has just seen the pic of Martin at the top of the page and said 'There's Daddy'!:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Updated list (not that I've done any today). Might do a bit while DH and the girls eat tea in a min...I'm not really hungry. Then off to work, DH going to watch the football and my mum and dad coming to babysit.

    See you tomorrow.
