yes he is:D



:(:(:(

some would see it like that:cool:

I don't think it works, so I doubt it... he'll still be your DS and need his mummy when he's 50 And you're being very brave doing the right thing and finding a way of leaving him at the same school rather than uprooting him. I bet you'll miss him once you've got over the novelty of your time being your own!

Greenbee - you may be right, but everyone is happy about the situation at the moment. If it changes then they will adapt in some way to make it work. I bet she will miss him more than he will as he will be spoilt rotton at Grandmas I'm sure. Your right they will always be our children, but they have a habit of growing up and growing away, but they will always know we are there for them IMO. Different strokes for different folks is what I'm trying in my cack handed way to say!

Jinky - I'm sure GB didn't mean it the way you took itxx
I'm always confused on FB - not that I go on it much - there's a 'Jinky' then there's who I presume you are that isn't called Jinky. Am I right? Who's who??

I didnt take it that way really;)
the Jinky one is me as well, when they banned my normal account:rolleyes::D

The gig was FAB, took me right back. Had a great time, swooned a lot, sang a lot and swooned some more!

I've got lots of jiffy bags and bubblewrap stuff behind the TV that I've saved from when I've been sent packages. I cleared out a cupboard to put it all in, and its now full! :eek: Do you think that I should keep the rest of it, or is a cupboard full enough, bearing in mind that I'm trying to sell stuff on ebay. Maybe I should hang on to it for a while longer, just in case, and set myself a time limit on how long I will keep it - if I've not needed it in 3 months then I will get rid of it. What do you think?

BIN IT NOW, how long has it been behind the TV? You need to deduct that time from the 3 months and then get rid. Also on a H&S note you shouldn't be storing anything behind the TV as it can get very hot when it has been on for any length of time and could be a fire risk.

Caught up on the thread and now about to cook dinner before we go to handbell practise. Hugs all round.

(Up to p57 week before last)
Popping on to say belatedly I am in - sort of - kids back to school today following half term and inset day, have done no housework other than bare minimum dailies for about 2 weeks now. Had a rotten cold for the last 10 days, spent most of the weekend in bed (lovely DH held the fort with the children though you'd think to hear him he'd had 100 of them for a year by himself .....) so with all of that things are a bit of a shambles.

I seem to suddenly have lots of other bits and bobs to do so going to assemble a basic list and work to that this week, and forget flying for this week.

I havent even finished the last 10 pages of week before last's thread:eek:never mind read last week or this week's yet!

Saw that Toots had a hospital stay lined up, have we heard how she is doing ?

soappie - no I had forgotten that I havent checked the WM filter. I thought I had but I havent . My head is like a sieve LOL

rose - re the fridge shelf, might be too late as you may have other answers al ready, but this year we replaced a drawer in our fridge/freezer which we bought in 1999. We had a manual which had some spares lists and numbers in the back and we were able to get it no probs. Am so glad we did, it was like having a new freezer.

Hope everyone else is ok, not too many BD's lurking around and that noone has had my rotten -sticking-miserable-still-clinging-on-wont-go-away bad cold.

This Weeks List:
Finish bags for beavers
Meal plan
Pumpkin
Grocery challenge and receipts
DS spelling revision
Shuffle money around so we don't go overdrawn
Try and pay off a bit more M&S card
Get DS to try oin new PE shirts
Label new PE shirts if they fit
Adjust kids new pyjamas' trousers x 4
Adjust DD new trackie bottoms
Take up green top while sewing machine out
Put sewing bag away as that will be it ALL DONE FINALLY HURRAH HURAAH

I am going to do a quick 15MC (15 min challenge!) to
- tidy up breakfast mess (I know, I know),
- put away this morning's food shopping (yes, yes)
- clear out lunch boxes
- put pasta on for tea
- put dry dishes away

Back in 15 .....

Explain to Daz that you're going to be so traumatised by the move that you'll need to be waited on hand and foot for the first year or two... and that you've tried de-sensitisation therapy for your housework & ironing phobia, but there are nearly 200 flyladies who will happily confirm for him that it's been unsuccessful and that therefore you can't ever pick up a duster again... let alone an iron :eek: Maybe you should go and have a lie down... practice for watching Daz do the ironing
