    Ohhh err

    Since when has there been a remove your thanks button??

    I was wondering the same thing Kaz, it quite threw me when I was thanking and this remove thanks button popped up..lol Still it's not as bad as when I clicked on the new posts button yesterday and got 312 pages instead of the normal 12... Funny thing was they were going right back to a year ago..really odd it was.

    Have given up studying, was hoping to make 7500 before going to meet OH, 6 short and can't even get the energy for those. Hoping he will give me a hand later. Think I am letting myself get overwhelmed by it even though I have broken down what I have left to do into smaller chunks.
    I have 800 characters to cut so my paper can go to the next review stage :( (plus a presentation that was due to be finished yesterday :o)

    I never knew you used to have a dog Toots. Funny what you learn on here each day.
    yes Dusty but it was before my time here - he was an afghan hound called zebedee and was mostly black and bits of tan and white on his face. he was nearly 17 when he had to go. I loved him to bits.
    natty glad you are feeling better hun - a good blub can do the world of good - better out than in!! (((hugs)))
    kazw sometime this afternoon - most useful when there are spam messages appearing!

    been out in the garden but there were clouds and only a few sunny spells so not really sitting out weather- I cleaned my 2 plastic chairs before i sat down and all the tops of the bins - I did venture to open the shed door - I thought it was very brave of me!!!:rotfl::rotfl: and even braver i managed to bin a few wee bits and brought some things in to go in the charity bag for wednesday - i also found a bracelet i was looking for and also the cover for the chairs so i wont have to clean them each time!!!

    going to see what I can do before my dinner.
    toots x
    Peace will be mine
    could do better - must try harder

    :rotfl::rotfl:jinky! you lazy sausage *lucky devil*

    toots: - no need to apologise hun, xxxx Oh i did try resting but then i got sick did some stuff and now i feel terrible:o. Unfortunately it was only me and my OH who helped her, everyone else just sat on her backsides doing naff all. Absolutely kicked off at my mother though, basically called her a lazy get and made her carry some very light bags from the car to the door (all of 1 metre). My brother was hung over and stayed in bed all day, was so angry even though i came from a very big family no one else offered to help.:mad::mad::mad::mad:.

    Oh and she and the girls love the house:T:T:j:j so a bonus all round!!

    Rach : -ooh nasty.
    natty glad your feeling loads better :)
    Okay going to move some things off the top and put more washing in. Then i'm going to have rest and a cuppa. How lazy is that:o

    bleurgh!!! ANOTHER coat of emulsion done.. 1 wall needs another coat but it can wait until I have done the lining paper.. all 3 strips and it can be redone then.. possibly Thursday for that!... OH just away to do the top edges that I can't reach.. cos I is short.. and he ain't!

    I don't know if I should slop the cream gloss on later... or if I might just do it tomorrow.. it means OH gets to do the tops again and he might not like me very much if I inflict that on him today too...

    Off to feed the chimps.. and myselves.. and OH..

    and bring the washing in and fold it and make the children put it away!.. and do the kitchen list... ho-hum..

    Garden watered so expect torrential rain anytime soon.

    Bit of online banking done.

    Seeds delivered, egg boxes decluttered, eggs purchased. Found out the chickens love chick weed and as I am almost growing it as a crop I can declutter that in their direction in future.

    Time to do dinner now.

    DS1 made some delicious sticky toffee puddings today at school (with a recipe I got off of here). I had to buy a silicon large muffin case for him to make them in but I've wanted one for ages so no bad thing.
