Hi all, thank you for the lovely supportive posts yesterday. I'm definitely not cut out to be superwoman. Dh back tomorrow, thank GOD!
Hi Pen Pen, I'm new, and joined when you were having a hiatus, welcome back :beer:
Managed to catch up (almost). Haven't started today's list yet, and a few bits still to do on yesterday's (yikes!), but however, I'm still plugging away.
Dd is just adorable, funny and lovely, and we all, (including her younger brother, just worship her), but man does she like being the queen bee. We all dance to her tune LOL! "You do it, I can't cos I've Down's" is her favourite thing to say. She's a chancer!
Okay, off on the school run now. I took today off to try and catch up on the homefront. The floors are all mopped right now and I've been stranded on a couch for the last 15 minutes, waiting for them to dry. Think they're safe to walk on:)
Off I go, bbl. Happy flying peepsLBM: 23/7/09. Total Debts on 23/7/09: 24,961
Debt free date 19/5/11 :j
