    I was always ridiculously anal about being on time or early for things... But having children has made me incapable of time management... So much as I hate being late, I usually end up rushing and stressing about being on time and never make it...

    Krystal is so smart and funny and wonderful I am struck dumb in awe in her presence.

    You have been early both times you met me :) Once ridiculously so - I was still in bed when you texted ;)


    I am usually okay, although I panic when I am over 5 mins late for anything and end up a big sweaty mess (like the first time Krystal met me!)

    I find the more time I have to play with the more likely I am to be late :confused:

    that last bit is so true! when we went skiing with I got up when the alarm went off got dressed/washed packed things away get Chris sorted and got in the taxi as soon as it arrived when everyone else was running round like blue botty flies :rotfl:
    I think it's because I know sub conciously that friends can wait but a plane would just go without me!

    Claire - those hampers are lovely:)

    Just been to look at a house, the house is nice but it is in such a tiny built up street, all the houses are almost on top of each other and I dread to think about the amount of cars on weekends etc!! Another we like has gone, but was very overlooked at the back so not really to bothered about that either.
    I am going to find it hard to move from here so unless we find a house that is perfect in EVERY way we will stay put...

    Hey everyone, just popping in using oh's PC/TV weird set up that is giving me serious gyp in my neck!
    What have I missed?

    I had to order another laptop charger, £49!! Seriously can't afford it either but I pay all my bills online, online shopping etc, and I could use this PC but all the passwords and log in names for online banking etc is on my laptop, not much use if I can't turn the bleemin thing on!

    I have also sprained 2 fingers I think, I tripped over a cat during the night when I went to the toilet, fell forwards and crushed my pinky and the one next too it off the side of a door, it looks all bruised and gross and I can bend them fine but moving them side to side hurts like a bobbin. The same day, I managed to slash my knee on the oven door, and Keira nutted me in the bum with the kitchen door, I fell forwards and split my head open on the freezer!! Nice big scab on my head now!!

    I can also feel another tumour growing where they took the last one out, I knew it was coming back because I started getting a sore back down that side again when standing for more than 10mins. Great!

    My nana called me crying on Sat, because tehy are super skint, asking for a lend of £100, I dont even have that to lend! So we gave her the money out of OHS driving lesson fund, I couldnt see her without, but it turns out she has borrowed money from my dad this month already and apparently, they went and got drunk on the Sat night. Not happy about that, if you are skint, you do not buy booze!! I better get that back on Friday or I'll hold her 7 cats hostage.

    Oh and OH let Keira drink some redbull last night, well he didnt let her, but he left his half full can lying around and she guzzled it. I didnt manage to get her to bed until after 2am! She was bonkers!! Just wouldnt stop moving and jumping. He got a mega bollocking from me.
