Diva give my love to Lady L if she hasnt appeared tonight!!

Aunty did you get a lot more snow today - we didnt get any!Morning all, Too many pages to read back sorryat least you can skip them I have to read them for the stars:rotfl::eek::rotfl::eek:Do you lot ever sleep:rotfl:
I might skip moving the furniture today:p
vanilla - YAY to the TD but watch your electric bill honey!!! and I hope DD had a brilliant time for her first visit - how exciting for her - I know what my nieces were like:rotfl:
Greenbee - your challenge is to have your presentation done by 9pm thursday evening - no last minute rushing allowed
sexy well at least you got some compensation - hopefully next time will be better and you will feel like it more. hope the de-cluttering wasnt too much for you today - take it easy remember - dusting would be allowed:rotfl:
MOAM good to hear that DH is doing well - bad news about the crank call - sorry I am late to give advice but would have been telling you the same as others - if you advise BT thay can intercept calls for a while to see if that puts a stop to it - i have done it before and it usually only takes a couple of days for the pest to be stopped!
catznine you had better get a wiggle on and get the house sorted as I expect you will have a steady stream of visitors etc from now until the wedding for one reason or another!!! i hope you have booked yourself a holiday for when it is all over you will need it!!!!:p:D
sabs congratulations to your DD - excellent results:T:T
prettypennies -I wish i could have warned you about the drycleaning at Johnsons - I knew it would be about £100- its a ridiculous price! At least you got somewhere a bit more reasonable.
Triker - good to see you have been sensible and letting your body recover - dont go daft doing the bedroom will you?:eek:

hi all
been to my sisters and we MADE her open all her mail...strike that WE opened it and sorted it into file/shred/throw/recycle...I found a cheque she had last summer, various UNUSED TESCO vouchers :eek: now OOD and scratchards - game closed but will still payout so i bought the winners home with me;)
(all of £3) I will cash them for her.
Now have ANOTHER printer (we now have 3) and another laptop (2 laptops, 1 PC and one titchy notebook) a laptop stand and a stepper....
Made DD pancakes then went out despite dicky tummy which fortunately did not let me down.
Tomorrow I must e mail my frined (with whom I have been for a meal to the pub) and send her photos of her in her wedding outfir as she is working on hairdos.
Nice one Soappie!
Nuns and e mail - who'd have thought it!

Can I just say that you ladies that work full time and have kiddies and manage to fly are. in my opinion, AMAZING - I've managed to do 2 days training and all I've been able to do is feed the kiddies and get them to bed, oh, I did manage to hoover LR at 10pm tonight, so hats off to you all cos I've no idea how you manage to do it
Will try to get some done tomorrow night but I think it may have to wait until Thursday before I can make a good start on the list
