OK so I know what a fling boogie is but what relevance is the 27 to it?

I may be wrong but think you need to get 27 items in the binbag for charity, when I started am sure it was a 30 bin bag boogie and DD asked what the heck I was doing and then I told her and she joined in, she is only 8

I am so thick That never ocurred to me, last time I sat with a pen and paper and wrote it all down. Took bloody ages:o

I never even done that, tried to remember and like ceebeeby ended up saying "hugs to everyone":rotfl::rotfl:

Rose.. How lovely it is to hear you feeling and sounding so positive and happy.. You are obviously having a lovely time which you do truly deserve!! Enjoy you break!!

oh... tomorrows list is up ..

Ditto what pigpen said Rose

Oh and am glad tomorrows list is up, av just spent 3 hours in my bedroom getting my old bed dismantled (now on freecycle as its still great condition) and new one up and gone from a double to a king size so mega clearout on bedding etc as you can imagine but those vaccum storage bag thingys r fab So am off for a shower before I go into my new bed, with satin sheets, probably skite all over the place :rotfl::rotfl: :rotfl:That sounds fancier than it is, it was £20 for a king size duvet, 4 pillowcases and a fitted sheet, thought that was a bargain.

So hope you are all well, will try catch up on the thread tomorrow at work

Piggers - KH sounds a real tightwad. If he's not paying you any money, but pays the lesser bank loan, have you thought about getting an attachment of earnings so YOU get the extra £100 a month? And the re-mortgaging just in your name, he can't do that without your signature! And if he was party at the time the bank loan was taken out, what right does he have to want some of it back?

Oooh Pen Pen - pancake day? Is it really so soon as next week? Must be an early Easter then! Hope DS enjoys his skiing

Greenbee - hugs for your bad day yesterday. Hope tomorrow will be better

Rosep - sounds like you had a lovely day - the walk has definitely done you good it seems, you must try and continue them...

Feeding, bathing and putting to bed of kids is not nothing, don't be too hard on yourself

This is sooo true!

I have bought a new spotty dustpan and brush for my classroom, because, of course, the last one I bought has been borrowed - again! :grr:

I shall leave my jobshare a note asking her NOT to lend it out because they never come back! I buy them EVERY YEAR and they end up in other classrooms - it's flippin' annoying!

Then what you need to do is set up a chained library of dustpan and brushes. Can't remember if it's Wimborne Priory or Christchurch Priory that has a chained library of books. The books are available for all to read, but they are chained to the bookshelves so they can't be taken away.

What you need to do is adapt this anti-theft devise and buy a chain long enough then attach it to a screw in the wall and the other end to the implements so that the dustpan and brush can ONLY be used in your room and nowhere else...:D:cool:

Chicken soup was lovely, even if I say so myself. Was great to have DS and even DD eat with me. DD is coming to terms with her new singlehood status but is finding it a bit hard. She feels a bit lost and lonely - but that's to be expected. But hey ho, onwards and upwards,

I have done some more of my presentation and have even washed up and S&S'd the kitchen tops after dinner.

Am now off to bed. Night all - sleep well xxx

It's freezing cold here... heating has gone off. I really need to do some work, but actually want to go out for a walk as I've still got 2500 steps to do and it might clear my head and help me sleep!

Before I go to bed... I've been tidying DD2's room today and I have a Blooming Marvellous pink all in one polar fleece with cuffs that can be folded over at the arms and feet and a matching pink waterproof all in one that goes over the top of it. The size is 12 to 18 months but they fit DD1 and DD2 from 12 months up to the age of 2 1/2. If anyone wants them please PM me your address.

Need to make DD1's lunch them I really am going to bed.

I think I may have asked this before, but not sure what the responses were???., do the teachers/assistants think that I could take in some colouring boks/pencils/crayons to the school to use rather than binning them...............?????, (will send them on to our class xx)?????????????

They may go in charity bag otherwise...... TIA xx

The bank won't let the mortgage be signed into just my name.. unless he dies.. *evil grin* .. I have no income for a start.. how many people living off the state are permitted to take out a mortgage.. oh.. none!! stupid man that he is..

The bank loan is also in both names so he really cannot get out of it.. it was used for paying off his student loan and 2 joint credit cards and a couple of major jobs in the house and he says he shouldn't have to pay it because I live in the house and even though only a bit of it was his student loan that the rest of the stuff was for the benefit of the children and he shouldn't have to pay it.. he really is being a twerp.. I cannot understand why his solicitor is allowing him to continually say such stupid things!! Oh, amusing thing.. he told my mother his solicitor is a 'battleaxe' I just laughed and said well that she may be, but she is obviously thick as well.. not knowing something as simple as that! he reckons that about half the money was spent on the house which is why he wants £7500 because he feels he is entitled to that because he doesn't live here any more!! Well he should have thought about that before sleeping around!

Anyway I have found a mountain of shredding to do, which my compost bin will be happy to have.. it is a little soggy in there.. While hunting I have found th eletter I need to drop in to housing benefit so I can do that in the morning... hopefully they might get it sorted before Hell freezes over!
