    Big hugs to everyone. I really can't believe it's Thursday. So far I've just s/s'ed but I did do 8 loads of washing (that included all the caravan bedding / coats / trainers from a wettish but fun weekend away).

    Hi Mudbath :D Good to see you posting but

    It's only Wednesday :p :rotfl:

    Evening all

    Glad to see that we all seem to have made it to the end of another day, some of sane, some of us not so (did anyone see Mudders by chance talking of insane :p)

    PenPen glad to see you

    Kazw glad your AGS is ok, where is he?

    Boddy such a shame about your Mum and her cigs

    Toots and Soappie hope you both sleep well

    My friend has had to cancel tomorrow as her DD has suspected Glandular Fever. I'll see how the mood takes me as to whether I garden, declutter, shop whatever.

    Planning on an earlyish night.

    and if anyone can suggest paint colours for a very bright south east (?) facing - judging by where the sun is- bedroom I would be very interested (we already have Natural Hessian and Natural Wicker elsewhere (and you can probably work out my preferred brand from that and that is in regard to how it goes on...))
    This will be a summer hols project I think...unless I go mad at half term:rotfl:
    You are (virtually) painting over Violet White which is clearly MUCH more Violet than white looking at my bedroom walls...bedding/lightshade/curtains all match Violet white so moneysaving IF I don't need new..
    when we moved into present house DD (age 12 at time) had SW facing room - she wanted mid-deep red carpet (piller box red) with 2 walls IK*a blue and the other two B*Q orange - I must admit it looks really good together with all her pictures of her travels - she now is thinking of painting cream as she is moving out this summer after finishing uni!!!!

    Erm mudders.......hate to disappoint you but its only Wednesday unless am missing something :rotfl:
    Our first weekend away in our new 'van was the same although only mainly the saturday was wet but it was very muddy due to the rainfall through the week, I ended up having to use the laundry up there :mad:

    Toots - Hope you are ok after your horrible day yesterday, and our first weekend went ok, we learned a lot, and for first timers we had the worst pitch on the site, on a hill both ways so 'van was a bit wonky, was hard trying to fry stuff when oil was moving over to one side all the time lol!!!

    Graaanaaannnnaa - So glad you heard from Danny, what a horrible thing for you to be going through, cannot even begin to imagine. ((hugs))

    Pigpen - Hope squeak gives you a more restful sleep tonight :D

    Jinky - Hope your gran is on the mend.

    Jo - you must be glad to have your mum with you, nice to see you back

    Penpen - YAY :T:j:beer::A:):D Good to see you back, hope you are here to stay xxxx

    Am so angry tonight, I have been with ebay for 7 years as a buyer/seller and never had negative feedback, I stupidly left my DH to wrap and post a parcel, he forgot a bit and posted it the same day but separately and lost both proof of postage receipts :mad::mad: so guy has now opened a case with them saying I am not responding to his emails, sometimes I wonder if its worth it, owe them over £50 in fees this month, its been ages since I sold stuff, never realised they now take 10% final selling fee!!

    Sorry for the rant but DH done this before with something I ws returning which cost me £60 and "forgot" to get proof of postage, they said they never got it :mad:

    Will blinkin well do it myself next time:mad:

    Still feeling pants although throat is a wee bit better, betcha it feels better by the time I go to docs on Friday, no matter I will tell her about how low I have been feeling instead for the last few months, will not waste the appointment.

    *collapses in heap*

    Who do I need to speak to about getting days extended to 30 hours. I just cannot do it in 24, it's official.

    Got home at 6.00pm, picked up kids on way, made dinner for them and Dad who's staying while dh is away at a conference, cleaned up dinner, fed pigs, hens and collected eggs, potted on tomatoes, killed about eleventy billion slugs in my polytunnel, went for a one hour run, got home, bathed my dd13 (special needs), hung out a wash, got kids to bed, checked work email, the only chance I have of FLYING tonight is if I stay up til midnight, which i probably will, cos I need to stay on top of this.

    Cup of tea I think...

HAve to drop DD at her Grans by 7am have DS at childminder by 7.45 so I can be at work by 8 :eek: I know you are having a hard time just now as your daughter has downs syndrome and your DH is not there to help you so please take it easy, don't worry about the flying, *ducks from pigpens mule* just do what you can, when you can and feel like it, you need some time for yourself as well ((hugs)) xx

    ooh someone encouraged Pen-pen back into the fold...

    ***glows***

    Not having seen what you received it does NOT sound like the scammy one I got which was wholly surname based...and I have heard there are 'proper' firms who will do this but charge a percentage...(not unreasonably IMHO they have to live, as we all do)

    I have *glow* washed up *glow* dried pots and *GLOW* made banana cake with the ripening bananas...kitchen smells like I have made a Christmas Cake, almost!
    and I have *GLOW* stopped DS from scoffing it
