    The cauli cheese was ok - made a nice change from salad :rolleyes: But it was not as nice as the last lot I made, so I was just a tad disappointed, after looking forward to it for ages!!

    DS is now moaning because I have asked him to clean his ski bindings with a toothbrush ahead of the sale.......his response was that it was boring, to which my response was not entirely enthusiastic itself :rolleyes:

    I really hope now that the sale is a success and it is worth all this hassle and grief. DS knows it is for his benefit, but dragging him away from Friday evening Facebook is obviously not doing me any good in the mother-son relationship stakes!!

    He knows he was in the wrong, taxi, and did clean three pairs before he went to bed.......

    So, today's plan - drag DD out of bed for her bath before work. This is proving to be even harder than getting DS to clean skis. My DD is NOT a morning person, and I have already been into her room twice this morning to give her a nudge :rolleyes:

    Then, grab a shower myself, if there is any hot water left after DD finally gets into the bath!

    Then off to the ski club with fingers firmly crossed that we come away with more money than we leave with.........

    Then I have been given my colleagues season ticket for the football this afternoon. Perfect timing - ski sale ends at 2, football starts at 3.....about 20 mins walk between the two.

    My aim is to raise £80 today - that will cover 2 x race entry fees that I have still to pay for DS winter season. If I do raise that much I will be more than happy - and if I can raise any more I will be ecstatic.

    £5 on bb this morning - beaten to the house by flying fresian.....that pesky cow :rotfl: I am really sure that today was my last day, so I was tempted to play through and see if I could win more, but that goes against everything I do, so I was good and have withdrawn.

    Just off to do banking, scratching and nagging of children.

    Have a good day everyone!

    :eek::eek::eek:

    It was about bleeding time to be honest, I have won £2 here and there since starting, and the biggest house I have had was £3 :rotfl::rotfl: I was hoping I would do what mac did and win all the money in the world :rotfl:

    Hope you get an unexpected day of play tomorrow :D
