Have another training weekend coming up this weekend, so need to get all the materials together for that.

I really need to get one client to postpone/adjourn his hearing, or I will go completely crazy.

    I dont have any cupboards in rthose places (well there is one in the bathroom, but it is still clean from last time) so will look at the bookshelves instead.

    DD is lots better and started eating solids yesterday :j:j:j (never been so happy) Going for a check up this morning with the HV and to get her weighed to make sure she is going back up nicely.

    My mum is then having her for the day so I can get some work done (over a week of no cleaning :eek:) Better go pick up the list, might just start with level 1 in all rooms first!

    Morning all,

    Hugs to Pigpen, Jo and her DS.

    My last post came out all wrong the wink was in place of saying the S E X word but it sounds like it was planned on my part i was actually really tired at the time and remembering what Nev said was using it as my last chance at getting out of it.:o I'm glad though he didn't listen.:)

    Ds2 has just spent the last of his birthday money buying the New Doctor on play.com . He can't understand that it won't just arrive now.

    I really need to get moving today i've got loads to do. Yet again i'm still not dressed.:o I'm going to rope the boys in to help. Ds1 getting pocket money is dependant on him helping so he can't complain too much. ( well he can and probably will but i won't listen );)
