    Poohspals I, personally, don’t go anywhere else much. I just don’t have time – I work about 50 hours a week :o. I browse some old style boards for recipes and tips sometimes .

    I went to family planning clinic today. Got a letter asking me to come back in August.The letter said ‘walk in clinic, from 7 to 9 pm. I 'walked in ' at 7, got number 11 already!!!! Had to wait 1.5 hours to be seen for 5 minutes!!! Well cheesed off. No flying done today either. Kids are still not bed.

    Miss Higgerty, glad you enjoyed your first day at work.

    Soappie, congrats on passing the exam.

    Pigpen, sorry to hear about your DD’s friend.

    Am going to have a cuppa, put them to beds and attempt the bathroom.

    Pants! Tired as hell again. And got a course on Saturday, and no homework done. I feel like I am trying to fly, but keep crushing :D

    Pigpen - sorry to hear such sad news, hope DD ok.
    Carlsberggal - hope you can get something sorted.

    Went to SW this morn & lost 1.5lbs, was hoping to be more, but went to a party at the weekend and sat next to a bowl of crisps :embarasse Aiming for a 2.5lb loss this week to get my first half stone.

    The wardrobe continues, but not still not finished and will now have to wait til next week when my friend can come back round to help me again.

    Just level one again, but did get DD2 to hairdressers, so the fringe is out of her eyes. :)

    Am really sorry I haven't had time to catch up on everyone's news so hugs for anyone who needs them.

    Good news today cos dh decided he wasn't going to fork out for cleaners and in his own words "has been doing the flylady thing you know work for 45 minutes then have 15 minutes off":beer: He has really scrubed the kitchen, utility, porch, lounge, diner, and kids rooms and has got his plan of action ready for tomorrow when little man is at childminders. He has never done this much housework in his whole life I don't think and has gone to bed early as a result poor bloke

    Im with a private dentist Toots, and he wanted me to change the crown a while ago - but it would purely have been for cosmetic purposes so I would have had to pay for it - the cheapest it would have been was £400!!! Im with Denplan so me and the little one are both covered for all rountine appts and cleaning, but it also covers this as it was now faulty and accidents are covered!!! Im so glad I took Denplan out now!! Yay!

    Well done Soappie - enjoy your steak.....im envious! Im living off Special K and fruit!! :rotfl: My evening meal tonight was HM Pea and ham soup - I could have swapped for your steak and chips :D

    tc - well done on the wardrobe.....babysteps, It will get there eventually! I built my wardrobe in Oct/Nov time and only finally got the doors on it at the weekend..... :rotfl: I didnt have anyone to help me! My uncle and my neighbours were round for Sunday lunch and my uncle and my friends husband put them on for me :D

    Am off to update my list for tomorrow if its up and get to bed.

    Night all xx

    ETA: Flippin Great!!! Asbo is having a mad halfhour now, pouncing round the living room attacking his rawhide bone.... :rolleyes: In a sadistic way, its quite funny to watch cos I have laminate flooring and he skids across the floor.
