    How about starting an email campaign to get them to change their policy on food waste?

    And I've just finished this book if you'd like it next...

    I might just consider the email campaign. And I'd love the book - not sure if you have my home address - I'll PM you.

    A bit Late but am in this week, thanks to Pigpen, Toots & Soappie as ever, I was planning a lazy pyjama day yesterday which did end up a pyjama day but totally clearing out old toys as the kids got waaayy more than I expected (thought I had cleared plenty of stuff, guess I was being sentimental) so I now have loads of stuff to add to my car boot pile for next year :D

    I will be able to cross off most of Mondays list, have still been flying (DH said last night he was doing an HHC :rotfl:) even though I have not been on much but DS is still not too well, and we are going to Panto tomorrow in Glasgow. DH is working :eek: and hoping to meet us there, either at the start or during the interval, how much fun will that be, dd at 8 and ds at 2 and only me ooohhh.....the joys :rolleyes: but I love pantomime, it is so cheesy :rotfl:

    Hope you are all well and santa was good to you all, am planning getting my bedroom done tomorrow and gettin all our pressies put away whilst DH is as work and also planning some ironing, time is running out and mine seems never ending but with me and Jerry Lewis :D for an hour, I am sure it won't be long in going down, take care, sorry not had time to even skim, hugs to you all xx

  • Triker thats an impressive list of work from you and yours - are you on a roll to get the house straightened in 2010?
    Just listed my Bon Jovi tickets on ebay:( Gutted i can't go now. Hope they tour in 2011! Nevermind, if they sell its extra money i didnt have.
    G&B (((hugs))) I must have missed something on the old thread that you cant go - thats sad - i hope the tickets sell weel and you can go again.
    Rachel021967 welcome back - level 1 is fine - its entirely up to you how much you do - just keep trying to do a bit everyday from the list and it will help.
    valli you are being strong and self controlled - I am impressed - I would probably would have torn him limb from limb, boiled him in oil and fed him to the rats for starters - good for you - but you still need huge (((huggles))) I think xxxx

    welcome to the thread jc2703, taffy1969, galadriel, Pyskicpup - flying isnt just for Christmas its forever:rotfl::rotfl: - stick with us and you will find it helps

    Poppy take it a day at a time - dont be looking toooooooo far into the future - none of us know what will happen - glad your DD is keeping an eye on you (((huggles))))
    jinky (((hugs))) for you too sweetie - it must be frustrating for you being too far to give him a thick ear!
    LadyL (((hugs))) for you too honey - its not like you to have trouble with t'other half.
    lil_me yeuch pureed worms:eek::eek: thats gross:rotfl:glad you got the beastie eating though.
    TAG another needing a huggle (((hugs))) - :mad: at these children - and remember to make an eye appointment tomorrow:p
    Ishtar I am sorry to hear about the puddy cat - hope DD doesnt get too upset. (((hugs))) for your Mum
    Stefejb good to see you are still with us in the background - well done for volunteering -thats excellent work that you are doing
    froddy hope your new toy makes the chore easier - well done on getting a bargain
    LadyGrim welcome back
    Aunty if its not an enjoyable thing then i would not be doing it - there are loads of ways to keep your mind active and learn without it being a chore and its better to stop than put yourself under endless pressure. IMHO that is!!!
    soappie thats ridiculous wasting that food - it surely could have been put to use elsewhere

    had another 2 hour nap this afternoon - not good - I think I will go do stars and welcomes and then go to bed - havent achieved much today and I am annoyed with myself - you have all been busy and your houses will be a credit to you for the start of the New Year.
    Peace will be mine
    could do better - must try harder
    Live each day as if its your last

    Hi All

    Just a quick question if you can answer, I treat new year the same as christmas (minus the pressies) so I use the same glasses, cutlery etc, do you all do the same, put it away and then take it back out a few days later, my glasses are easily accessible but cutlery is put back in box and put at the back of a cupboard which is reserved for "special occasions" only :rotfl:never to be touched at any other time kinda cupboard. I keep crackers and everything for the new year :confused:

    Haircuts DS1 and DH
    sausage casserole for dinner
    Mr M and Lidl food shop (remember to take the recycling!)
    Fill car up with petrol
