I'm solar powered and we've not had much of that recently!

I love that, I may have to steal it if that's ok(?:D) because it describes exactly how I feel, Feb is always hardest which is strange when we have broken the back of winter really and there are snowdrops and crocuses but they don't always help. Well done on the flying though, you obviously made a concerted effort.

Feel free to use it as and when but if you make any money out of it, you need to send me a cut

Bet we'll have the bathroom tomorrow - mine's a tip but I know it'll look better when done.

I'm hoping it is the bathroom tomorrow; Mr LW will be working from home on Friday, and it's always more difficult to clean the bathroom when he's here, because
1. I can't put stuff round the loo and leave any length of time it because he has to "go" so often (what is it with men?)
2. He keeps on at me to mind not to hurt myself, and to leave it, he'll do it later (which of course doesn't happen).

Did some flying this morning and then went to the hospital to see my friend and her baby Violet. She is now 2 weeks old, weighs 4lbs and is being sent home this evening/tomorrow morning

aww that was my Grandma's name...she was an ACE flyer befor flying was ever thought of (she was the one who taught me to line the tops of cupboards to keep them grease-free;))

Happy Birthday HEX and SARAH

I have arrived home early from course:T ironed the ironing I still had from the weekend (not a lot...) dried the load I washed this morning, read email - my gas bill DD is going up :eek: and cleaned the living room:T:T:T.decluttered e mails (who's John Mike?) and flashed through the thread...

ETA I have also emptied the VERY PONGY cat litter tray...candles/open windows were required! *insert roll eyes smily here*

Clean filters ?? What does this relate to pls??

Kazla its anything that has a filter -WM. DW, cooker hood/extractor, kettle etc - take it out and clean it!!
Mumof 2 I take mine in the morning with or without breakfast - I JUST TAKE THEM!!!! its so easy to forfet when you are busy and if its out of normal routine its worse - hope you feel better tomorrow - and maybe thats why everything seems worse regarding DH? I love the idea of you tucking in the chooks and giving them a stroke :rotfl: And ahem! excuse me! but where did this negativity come from re the Manor Hall job - did you/ we not say that it sounded very good and you would be able to do it no problem - so buck up girl - go through the requirements - figure out what to wear etc and practise what you might say to questions - do a bit of research on what goes on there too - you CAN do this and you CAN get this job if you want it!!!! we are all with you babe xx oh and BTW now that you know DH is going to be away over Easter can you arrange to do the same and do someting nice - maybe stay with relatives or at least arrange a really nice day out for the rest of you - roll eggs, easter cakes etc!!!! re the sausage grease I used to soak over night with hot soappy water - plenty washing up liquid or soap pwder and it was usually soft enough to work on even if it meant a wee scrape!!
piggers I can just imagine jacob munch into mince and mash - he will be loving different textures and tastes now
Kazm (((hugs))) angel because I have a feeling you need them xx
tooch thats great that DD is getting good at the tidying etc but even at 7 there is no need for attitude and whinging IMHO- it might get a lot worse if you dont curb it now - dont mean to offend you or upset you honey. I remember how much bother you had with her last year and you were such a lovely Mum I wondered if you gave in and spoilt her a little too much? It doesnt matter a jot if you did she is your little angel and you love her. (remember I havent had children so I maybe talking through a hole in my head so feel free to totally ignore this!!) You have seen how well she has done with the list you made up for her (maybe she needed the structure) what about adding 1 extra thing like - no talking back to you and Dad or no whinging or something like that - you will know what her main problem is and you can blame me if you like - tell her that Toots is so pleased with her that toots thinks she can now handle an extra job?
Triker :rotfl::rotfl: yes it was a bit the first time and then it calmed down!!! Ytrst you to think like that and make me smile xx
Diva hope you are feeling better and I wouldnt worry about sorting it out - he is the one that caused the problem huge squishy (((hugs))) and *everything you need* vibes by the lorry load for you - hope the SW doesnt keep you waiting too long. and BTW.....................

Find hospital letter - URGENT

why is this still on your list????????????????:p:p:p:p
Glamazon you go girl and get them men sorted (((hugs)))
Poohbear - now I am not condoning violence you understand but may you should..........:D

I lived in the kitchen yesterday to keep out of their way or I might have done something I regretted

IMHO they need sorting!!!!!!!
Quillion thats fab - after all that pain/suffering and hard work - its all been worth it (((hugs)))
Dusty thats great news all round - its nice to have a 'good' day!!! Hope the builder is making progress and not too much mess
LameWolf - how lovely for you - sonething to look forward too - what kind is Molly?
pigpen thats brilliant news - hope its been worth waiting for - and oooooooh a bit more space in your house that cant be a bad thing!
Sarah awhhhhhhhhhh thats brilliant that baby Violet is getting home - she is so tiny but must be doing ok :T:T:T
loopy-loo dont go overboard until your back is better - get the studying done instead:p
cyclingyorkie poor DD - hope she manages to get something she wants sorted this time - *positive* vibes coming her way
AnW'sMum enjoy your evening and thanks xx
