    Afternoon all

    I've nearly caught up but can't seem to retain what I'm reading, except really sorry for your bad news Pigpen :(

    One load of washing out, it's blowing but it feels really cold and it's not drying much.

    I did today's list yesterday and tomorrow's list today.......two stars please :)

    I also vacuumed through downstairs again today. I think most of Friday's list is done because I did all the bedrooms yesterday but I'll check through that again.

    Going to read the last page now.

    mummyyof5 (((hugs))) for baby D - hope her tooth comes through quickly
    jinky thanks angel - I hadnt seen the article but had heard about that shop - so maybe it wont be in all polish shops after all - I will keep looking!
    pigpen thats so sad about your uncle and I would be angry too at the GF - she must have removed all signs of herself otherwise the police would have contacted her? Seems very odd that there are no personal belongings. Hope you manage to get it sorted (((hugs))) Triker has said it far better than me
    Triker no apology needed xx you are right some things have to be said.
    TAG nice to see you dropping in with your list xx
    macpep congratulations on getting your caravan - how exciting for you:T
    soappie thanks for the link - P&P makes it a bit silly - but I know a couple of others here that might be interested so we could maybe do a combined order. good luck for today.
    Mumto5 hope you get the birthday past first - then deal with whatever happens next - it would good if Nan held on until her Son arrived. get the teenagers helping this week while they are grounded - it may make them realise the consequences of their actions - take it easy honey - there is no point running yourself ragged - it will sort itself out - remember we are here if you need us - huge (((hugs))) Happy Birthday to your wee man!
    pink-winged Happy Birthday to your DS too!!
    serena I wouldnt like to be your DS just now:eek: I like your style :rotfl:
    piggers be sure to take it easy on that room of doom - you should not be trying to do it all at once IMHO!


    Attention all teaching staff

    for those of you still on holiday - have you done your marking for next week?
    have you done your planning for next week?

    No? ....then get it done asap!!!! I do not want to hear you trying to squeeze it into the day before you go back when you should be relaxing and gathering your strength to deal with the lovely little children in your classes!!!!!

    It is now a lovely day - was a bit dull earlier.

    have been out and done the shopping etc
    have done 1 x WM which I am about to hang out
    have done most of my dailies

    going off out for the afternoon with a friend from Church for a coffee.

    see you later
    take care all
    toots xx
    Peace will be mine
    could do better - must try harder
    Live each day as if its your last
