    I promise I'll do it tomorrow - I wanted one day without having to think about school, so threw myself into baking, as it's something I enjoy.

    You do know that if you don't do it we'll be sending froddy round to stand over you while you make the call, don't you? ;) And if you don't behave, we'll send soappie over :eek: (she's got herself a reputation on the forums nowadays as well as at work :p)

    Hi all,

    I've been for a lovely lunch with my Sisters, both Ds's and my Niece. Me and my 1 Sis set off all the musical cuddly toys in Wilko's:p it was great until Ds2 decided it was all too much and tried to strangle the wierdest one:eek:. That was after he asked the barmaid why she had a big spot on her face:eek: she said it was a wart and he said Oh no what happened:o:o:o. I was trying to distract him but he wasn't having any of it:rolleyes:.

    I'd better go and get the washing in and shut the Rabbits up before it's too dark to see.

    I usually colour my hair when dry, so unless you're using something different, I'd wait!

    OH has loaded the DW and I have loaded both WM's and both dryers..

    I have also been to sleep for an hour and a half!! on th eplus side my head ache has got slightly better.

    DD3 has been tidying her room and in the process has thrown loads of stuff in the front room which I shall bag up and bin.. obviously it isn't wanted!! She knows DD2 is putting the pc in her own room so has tidied it so she can have one in there.. what she doesn't know is santa being very good this year has got her a little notebook computer thing.. it does internet which means she can go on the girly sites which is all she is really interested.. and googling pics of cute furry creatures.

    I have now to decide whether to gut the front room tonight or do a quick repaint of the hallway... I could do one and OH the other I guess....

    Hmmmmmmmmm... either way I need to do dinner, reloaded the WM's and TD's and fold what is dry and get the grots to bed.. DD4 needs a bath as everyone else got done at dads but she was at her friends sleepover. I also need to remove laundry from my room and vacuum the floor so the floor under OH's stuff will at least be clean!

    ok... moving!!

    A) you shouldn't use it 'just in case'.. you should comb yourself to death and only lotion yourself if you find something with legs!

    B) .. no don't colour it while using that the chemicals MAY react and cause problems.. to your hair colour or your skin!

    MrsChaos - glad you enjoyed your weekend; Green Day were fab! :D

    I'm really pleased you had a good time. We're due to set off in just under an hour - I'm taking DS1 and friend in the car, but will just drop them off. Part of me thinks I'll be missing out, but I'm so tired from the weekend. We didn't get back until 11pm last night and I've kept going so far, but am starting to feel it now. Hope you start to feel better soon.
