    I'm back in again this week, nearly got a full house last week but hayho thats the way it goes.:rotfl:

    Plumber done a great job and will be back in new year to sort out the rest of the rad's. We even got an imersion(sp) heater, just need to get it wired now.

    I've just spotted a slowcooker 6.5L on argos website for £15 think i'll be there tomorrow.:D

    Hello to all newbies.
    Big hugs to all having problems with parents and all poorlies.

    *Drum roll*
    DS2 who can be quite lazy, (was still in nappies) finally had a dry night in pants.:j:j:j:j No more nappies for him.:D
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.
    :j :j

    Monday- Living room, hall and stairs
    Level one
    Make time for yourself!! Half an hour of peace! is this possible with 2 small kids? think i need to run away:rotfl:
    Level Two
    Level Three
    Dust and deweb all those corners and electrical appliances and shelves.. etc
    Clear mantel and put back only what should be up there!

    Extras 1) order seat covers for dad
    2) order flowers for jan and jill
    3) write christmas cards
    4) pay Next bill
    5) order Amazon presents
    6) clean inside of car and do outside at car wash
    7) manicure and pedicure

    Have had one of those days where the kids have made me go :mad::mad::mad: constantly but then I have a really short temper due to stress of impending house move. Have been stressing about observation ( thanks for all your messages of support) but got a phone call form my head of department today to say that she wont be observing me as her mum died on Fri so she will be popping in and out of school. She was an old lady but still sad and feel for boss and yet feel relieved for me - how selfish is that- I feel really bad for feeling like that.
    Think my black dog is rearing it's head, am so stressed out with moving house. We are so close to exchanging contracts, just a couple of bits of paperwork to sort but with so many people in chain I'm so scared someone will pull out. just wish i could be in my new house:rolleyes:

    so sorry forgot my manners thanks to the three muskateers xxx
