    Thanks Pigpen, the only problem is, I can't get to Pizza Hut to pick up the invites this week...I am busy every afternoon with concerts, Christmas dinner, and another party... and they don't open till 11'30 ....Do I hope I can get down there after DD finishes school(parking an issue at pizza hut that time of day) or do I but invitations before confirming and keep my fingers crossed ? TIA again xx

    I'd buy 'generic' party invites closer to home and use those if I couldn't get there!

    I've sorted and labelled about half the presents. Once again DS2's pile looks huge compared to Ds1's. Although i've spent about the same on them Ds1's things tend to be smaller things like xbox games and cd's. I've got to finish what i've started because my whole bedroom is covered in presents.

    It won't hurt to have a look at what's out there... I've had several calls from headhunters recently, and if they're finding my CV at the moment they're looking VERY hard!

    Seriously, you should consider it. If you're having problems with this company now, can you imagine what it would be like to work with them? Don't forget you're doing the evaluating too... if you don't like what you see (and if you're already being headhunted) keep your options open!

    Mudbath, spending that much on a guitar for a 10 year old is immoral!

    :confused:

    As for my lists, I did actually clear up the kitchen, then I made dinner and promptly reversed everything I'd done, aside from cleaning the oven! WIll have to start again tomorrow, I'm knackered.

    Poor DH is cleaning out all the paint from the bath, I left the rollers and trays soaking in hot water and only just remembered them. He's so good to me!

    I'm off to bed now, night all, sleep well and sweet, sweet dreams!

    Just wanted to say congrats to sexymouse before I go to bed. So pleased for you.

    Haven't caught up I'm afraid, was out after work. Bed for me now, catch you tomorrow when I'll be having a quick fly round the living room as we have a flat inspection on wed.
