    Just wanted to show my face, I've not forgot about you all it's just chaos @ the mo

    Brief overview - all my cash/credit cards are missing 10 days for new ones argh why December!! DS1 still off & DP now ill, house is back to bomb site after a start on his tanks now DP too unwell to finish them, meetings are leaving me furious. Needless to say ran off my feet, flying is pretty much flying out of the window & BD isn't helping.

    I will however get my bum in gear & get back on track as soon as I can, just unsure where to start @ the mo

    ((hugs)) to you all xx

    Hugs right back at you - I was wondering where you'd disappeared to xx

    Thank you~ It's nice to know that everyone on here is really nice and not the mean ol' nagging housewives that some of the forums I've seen. They all seem to be really really competitive - post pictures of their IMMACULATE HOUSES and say how much money they've spent. It's brilliant to find there are people who know what it's like to be not so immaculate.

    I'll have you know my house IS immaculate! {Mudbath goes off to look the work immaculate up in the dictionary} Welcome to the madhouse xx

    Hi,

    It's almost school run time and i want to pop to the PO on the way to post the cards. I'm going to be an evil Mum this afternoon and get Ds1 to clean his room when he gets in. It's vile.:eek: He already said he hated me this morning because i dared to tell him to put his jumper on:cool:.

    You did what :eek: - someone report her to the RSPCA (or is that the animal one!!) :rotfl:

    Awwww someone's recognised me as 'special'. That's the second time I've been called that this week....it must be true!:D

    List = not done

    Mmmm better go and find it and get going I guess xx

    Yay :j Glad you found them although never solved the mystery. I often find my purse in the fridge, last time I lost my spare back door key it was in a box at my MIL's :confused:

    Sounds like the onset of pre-senile dementia... or too many bleach fumes!

    Been to my sports massage appointment. Am now shattered by have a 4pm call, so need to get my head together for that. The probably sleep until 7.30 leg wax. My ankle seems to be improving though - I'm sure it'll be worth the pain...

    Washing in TD. I've got a couple more loads to do, but won't put them on until this lot have been ironed and put away. I don't want a backlog of ironing!
