    I got me some pegs...:rotfl:.

    I think I'll take Hex and Greenbee's advice re the paperwork, diaries etc...cheers guys. Its got to go.

    I had a bright idea....kind of. :D I thought why don't I pack away, as if we're moving, stuff that we need to keep but clutters the house and then get rid of the rest.

    Cleaned round the kitchen
    Eaten dinner
    Chatted to kids from next door as they are outside waiting for me to come home from work, as they apparently, 'put our ball in your garden, when trying to hit my brother with it', so rescued the ball, and suggest they didn't try to hit each other with it, and point out where my GLASS green house was!!!! and the lack of pocket money if they damage it.:rotfl:

    Off to see what the budget has done to my life............:( and my business:( I am sure I'll find a thread on here somewhere that I can understand.

    i'm terrible, i just create more mess than anything else :o. oo its nearly dry, think i'll be doing another coat shortly.

    Had a nightmare this morning, DS2 (leto) managed to trap himself in the upstairs toilet this morning. I ended up having to talk him into getting the vase off the window ledge, climb on top of the toilet and open the bathroom window. Its a good job theres a ledge outside the bathroom window and his room. So there i am in the rain catching a 6 yr old as he is climbing out of the toilet window. I swear i was more scared than he was. DS1 (brandon) my little hero then decides i'm too scared to go out on the ledge so he dives out jumps into the other open window and un-jams the door. Comes out and goes " i've done it mam!". So the rule of no locked doors is back in force.

    We had that a few years ago when DD got stuck in bathroom as lock had broken! It was about 10pm and she kept knocking on floor to get our attention then OH had to get ladder for her to climb out window and down ladder. Friend managed to do the reverse the next day and get door unlocked. I now have fear all that the other handles/locks may go too!!!!
