    Got to get flying now, back from the hospital and am really behind. It didn't go well so am totally fed up.

    Made kids tidy their rooms last night then strip their beds this morning so not too much to do.

    Diva Good luck for this afternoon.

    Pigpen You did make me laugh with the word and slamming the door. He deserved it though.

    LL and Toots Sending hugs

    Arrgggg Its just started snowing:(

    When you are posting a reply, go to 'go advanced' then at the top you will see a letter s that is crossed out, [STRIKE]s[/STRIKE]. Highlight the text you wish to strike through, and then click the [STRIKE]s[/STRIKE]. The words will appear in your box with 'strike' at each end; when you post, it will have a line through it.

    Well i'm back from painting, just need to leave it to dry before doing another coat.
    Moved all the food /teabags etc off the tops, my kitchen is beginning to look bare.
    But another thought suddenly dawned on me i have actually been using my storecupboard. so much so that i may have ot go out and stock up. But i will resist, i am not going back to how i was no space tons of food.

    Well i better get changed as i'm currently in pj's bottoms, didn't see the point of changing my soaking wet clothes into nice new ones when i would be painting.
    Got to go and pick DS1 from school at 3pm.
