    Rose if you are on AB’s then the pill is ineffective, I used to be on it and my GP always made a point of telling me this.
    Toots – Thanks for clearing up Greenbees broody situation, it was funny the way you put it, sounds like she wants a baby but without the man lol. I do get a bit down when DH is backshift its hard work but NEVER to the state I was in the other night, DH felt helpless. Think I would feel embarrassed :o
    Diva – Thanks for the recipe I shall have a look later, no internet time left at work :mad: and my, haven’t you been busy WEETABIX cake??? Not sure if I wanna try that one??
    Greenbee – Hope you are feeling better today
    Lamewolf – I think that’s what it was, DH is backshift so I have kids all week at nights when they are grumpy and tired and so am I. Feeling better today
    LadyL – Hope you are feeling a bit better, I have stayed away the last few days due to bouts of tears and anger for no apparent reason :huh:
    Pigpen – What a time of it you are having, I admire how you cope with all the stuff that geos on in. Hope it all works out for you and reading back, is there something you want to share?????
    Jo – Hope you get your pooch back soon/ saw you got him back x
    Jinky – That was good banter between you and DS:D
    Hellsbells – ((((Hugs)))) hope you feel better soon, just take it easy :)
    Greenbee – GO GO GO, don’t think about it just GO, get you glad rags on and get that man!!:T
    Natty – What a clever dog you have, sorry you are feeling horrible but your dog made me laugh :o

    Phew! I've just had a marathon catch-up session with the thread, in between installing the latest version of Ad-Aware on the PC (I'm using the netbook).

    Great news! You'll have to keep all chocolate well out of reach from now on; it's something I worry about whenever I have a canine house guest, so I keep it either in the fridge or in the top cupboard in the kitchen. Can I be a nosy mare and ask what type of dog Copper is?:)

    Friday ~ Chimps rooms!/Spare rooms..
    Level One
    Go strip, wash and replace with clean any bedding N/A. Room dusted and dewebbed, though.
    Spend half an hour doing something that makes you happy.. and I do NOT want details!! Or else you get mine with full colour graphics! Deferred to this evening; (see Extras #1) – and no, you're NOT getting details! I'm also still owed a half hour from yesterday, so will be “collecting” on that as well.
    Level Two
    Rope children in and declutter the floors and quickly vacuum them No children (apart from Mr LW, and he's at work LOL) but floor is decluttered as much as possible considering it's also a store room, and has already been vacuumed.
    Straighten cupboards of clothing/shoes All tidy.
    Make sure school stuff is ready for next week.. inc. homework done! N/A
    Level Three
    Tidy up a bookcase or a toy box.. or just a box of junk! Done – inventory of HM jam stocks, and all tidied up in their crates.
    Wash any smelly curtains and wash windows Curtains OK (can't get them down myself anyway) Window cleaned.
    Clean out any pongy pets N/A
    Extras

    1. Go spend some time with your little people.. or big people.. or friends.. or man hunting (greenbee :p) Will be spending this evening with Mr LW – he's the only person I've got!!
    2. Binbag dance Done
    3. HHI None to do; HHWii instead; to commence as soon as I've posted on the thread.
    4. Spend weekend slobbing! Not a flippin' chance – that's when we do the jobs I can't manage by myself.
    5. LW's extras: Order repeat meds for both Mr LW and myself Done
    6. Sort out extraneous poly bags to put in RSPCA box Done
    7. Scan and defrag PC as it was playing up yesterday Under way
    So.... Friday is as complete as I can manage.
    If your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)

    Afternoon - hope everybody is feeling OK today.
    The flying has definitely slowed down to a crawl - Thursday's list frightened me a bit!
    I gave the bathroom and loo a quick wipe but mainly I cleaned out and hoovered the hall, banishing a few shoes and dumping a load of stuff in our room which I now have to sort.
    I looked into the girls' room today to see what needed to be done and was amazed to see that DD2 had tidied the floor - a wonderful sight. She is getting a bit embarrassed because I keep thanking her - I really need to get the kids doing a bit more don't I!

    Afternoon everyone!

    General flying only being done here, as I am really tired after our day in France yesterday - we had a great time, although the restaurant we wanted to go to was inexplicably closed. We still had a nice meal, a mooch around the town and shopping in the supermarket. DD and I bought clothes. DS1 and 2 went to a funfair they spotted as we drove into town, and DS2 won a goldfish. I then ruined his life by insisting that we returned it to the stall, as we could hardly transport it home, and we have nowhere to keep it anyway. I wasn't forgiven until this morning....

    I have been catching up on marking, and am now supposed to be planning... and I really don't feel like it. I pretty much know what we're doing next week, but need to polish it and find the resources.
    It is never too late to become what you were always intended to be
