    Choccybix well done on your first 5 out of 5 stars.
    debtdesperado I've been flying for ages now and the lists really help. I find it alot easier now but i do know that once i finally sort out storeage and everything has a place of it's own, it will be even easier.
    cyclingyorkie i failed mine the first time for doing a 5 point turn instead of a 3. I thought i was being extra careful.
    JillD big hugs.
    Sexy that head needs a good slap.
    Kaz hope your shoulder eases soon.
    Fedupandskint big hugs.
    Pigpen yea for your DS getting the school he wanted.
    gratefulforhelp please take it easy.


    I need to meassure the bathroom today for the tiles, both bathroom and DD's bedroom windows are going in tomorrow. Sparkie coming to do DD's room and has said if there is anything else we want done then just let him know. I have a rather long list for him.:D
    Plaster coming middle of this week and he has said the same so our bedroom will have no big chunks missing yea.:j
    I still need to meassure the porch floor, kitchen floor and utility floor and then send in for a quote.
    I'm starting to panick abit DD's room will be done in a few weeks and the only thing i have so far is her bed.:o So i need to price carpet, get paint, find curtains and get her a wardrobe. First i need to find the money for it all.:mad:
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.

    Morning all

    Happy Birthdays and sorry you're not feeling good, wherever appropriate. I can never remember past the end of a sentence.....

    Lovely sunny day, but it's a b****y cold wind. Two loads of washing whizzing round.

    Bacon joint in the oven and I'm off to get the potatoes started now.

    Morning All

    I went to the Ed Show yesterday and DS decided to be ill while I was there (he was at home) so all I did when I got back was nurse him.

    Lots to do but can't see it getting done. Kids want to go out for dinner as DH was supposed to be taking them out yesterday but they couldn't go as DS was ill but I've said no as he's probably still bug-ridden - especially as I was up at 2.45 with him and he still had a raging temperature although he's been fine for the rest of the day so far.
