    aww thanks for the encouragement! im sure my new husband just wonders what ive been doing all day. he doesn't notice the house being 'clean' but he only notices when i tidy it, which is the bit im the worst at!

    we have a whole room dedicated to things that dont have a home! thats how bad it is! i agree though, will do level 1 rather than all three levels!

    Little help needed here.

    DS1 has a leavers 'ball' to go to. ( Headmaster didnt want it called a 'prom' but said it was 'black tie'!!)

    DS1's GF wants him to wear a 'shocking pink' bow tie to go with her frock.
    DS1 has told her to go out and get it for him ( as long as it is under £10) so that then it would be the right colour and he will pay her back. ( Crafty but clever, i thought).

    Should i be hinting to him to buy a corsage thing for GF?

    Anything else she will be expecting?('fancy' cars also forbidden)

    Sorry but i have never been to a Ball. Prefer my Jeans!

    Thanks

    Hi all, just thought I''d pop in for the first time in ages. Haven't been around for a while - I found the later stages of my pregnancy were quite difficult and tiring so I decided just to do what I could or what needed to be done. Anyway, baby boy arrived on his due date (6th June), and I am still taking it easy! Hope everyone is ok - sorry haven't been reading thread. Hope to be following the lists again soon!

    Well, as if I don't have much to do with my time, looks like I'm getting chickens!

    Some of you may remember last year that DS's school hatched some. We were on the list but there weren't enough ladies to go round. This year, it seems we're top of the list!

    I have webcam access to the eggs as they are incubating. They should hatch towards the end of this week. I now have two weeks in which to organise a home and a run for them :eek:

    Congrats:T:T

    Not much flying done here DS is in a right strop today so will be having an early night so i can get on with it then.

    Strimmer arrived:T then the rain came:mad: so couldn't even get that done!

    I have managed to declutter a phonecall to the bank whilst DS was screaming in the back ground bloke kept asking me to repeat myself so it took twice as long.:(

    Also enviromental health have rung about the new noisy neighbours:Dso they are writing to them lets just hope it helps.

    Mumto5 I hope you and DH manage to sort things out.
