this is not a competition - there is no prize except feeling good that you are starting a new year with an empty basket - try to encourage each other - we all want to succeed
dont wait until the week (or day:eek:) before to get started - try to do a little bit as often as you can.

Valli

and Pigpen - fantastic news on your sis..

MoF77 sounds like a super send-off for a specialand much-loved lady..

rach

polly - nice bag. I'm going ask for a nice bag for Christmas I think. I use a rucksack for work as I walk 15 mins to and from the station and like to be able to swing my arms and march along but I fancy something new for the weekends etc. which reminds me...greenbee where did you get your new little rucksack style handbag?
toots- well done with the ebaying
natty - hope you feel better soon, I had wondered the same about washing up
dishwasher- can't remember who asked - I used to have one and would love one again - just no space here, DH is very good and does most of it, we never let it hang around.
julie - hope you're not too tired! I had a lie in til 7.30!!
pigpen - great news, so pleased for you all!
Mo477 - glad it was a special day for you.

DH still studying and Mr T not here yet, no doubt they will come once we settle down to watch tv!

I am having one of my broody phases at the moment :rolleyes:

Well no flying done at all today, DH did a little tidy up when he got in,
I had my swine flu vaccination today (cos I'm frontline NHS staff) and my arm is killing me it feels like a really painful deadarm, its made me feel pretty pooped.

DS was being a real pain, but DH took over and even organised dinner for us both.

SO now I'm in bed just having a mooch around then going to read and then early night and hope that I will feel back to normal tomorrow.

night all, will read back tomorrow. xx

Ugh, ugh, ugh, put some washing in, some new jeans of hubbys and some bathroom stuff including the bath mat.

When I came to opene the door I noticed some brown stuff on the inside of the machine, I pulled the rubber bit back to check for coins, bits etc only to be met by a long brown turd like thing. I called hubby in and he said 'Ummm dunno what that is' and sniffed it, he said, 'I'm pretty sure it's not what you think it is', he got some kitchen roll to remove and cue masshoosive retching from me......IT WAS A TURD.....**VOMIT**, the cat had apparently pooed on the bathroom mat whilst we were away, DD2 had put it downstairs to throw it out....forgot about it :eek::eek::eek:...**VOMIT** and somehow the whole bath mat had wound back in the washing **RETCH**

So hubby cleaned it all out whilst I tried desperately to stop my stomach evacuating and now its on a boil wash.

DD2 has been 'spoken to' and will in future bin items in case anything like this happens again.


Therein lies the end to a rubbish day and I had to bin the banoffee pie because it reminded me too much of the thing._pale_
