All bedding on beds.

Rhys has been a bit of a nightmare today, loads of crying. Then when i was changing him tonight i noticed his leg is really red from his jab, i didn't notice it yesterday or earlier. The redness is the size of my fist, temp is 39, so i've rung out of hours and they should ring me back soon.:(

That sounds nasty vanilla, hope it is sorted soon for you, and rhys starts to feel better.

Sexymouse, what a lovely friend you are, Im sure she really appreciates the time and help you are giving her - must be daunting starting at a new school, particularly when juggling brothers care needs as well. Well done on the money saving at the solicitors, every little helps

Right, I'm no good with the quoting and so on, so apologies now!

Big thanks for the warm welcome and birthday wishes!! I had posted on FB about being another year older and one of OH's friends made a comment about being 40..........I'm 36!!!! OMG!! So, that's given me something to think about....

Vanilla - I hope your little one is OK x

Thanks to the poster with the signature - 'don't put it down, put it away' - it's our new house motto!!! I have it buzzing round my head all the time and it's been the most helpful thing ever!

I won't always get time to read entire thread so will try to check in once a day, so apologies if I miss anything important. Congrats to those with exam results coming in, hope all kids get their places at uni. I went through clearing and my dad's friend who was the examinations officer at college suggested Swansea - never even considered Wales - and it was fab...and actually met OH on the very last night of my PGCE so it must have been fate!!!!!!!!!!! Or someone 'up there' was having a bit of a giggle...

Anyway, this thread is fantastic. It works for me, and I have found I adapt it as I go e.g. washing bedroom windows this morning led to doing the rest of them upstairs just because I had the stuff in my hand. Only took a few extra minutes but is a good job jobbed! Same with hoovering, if the hoover is out for one room I just rub it over the rest. Brill! Thanks, I'm hooked xxx

Shortbird's believe it or not fact of the day: human wee and poo was used on compost heaps for some time... anything germy in the poo should die when the compost gets good and hot.

Nope, didn't think you'd believe me. The Centre for Alternative Technology has a lot of information on the subject. Enjoy your tea:D

Yes, I'd heard that human wee was OK - Bob Flowerdew on Gardeners World, many moons ago! I just wish KH would've been a bit more discreet about it!:eek:

I did get finished today, but then the forum went down and I went to Tesco's with Mr LW.:D

pigpen I hope little Freja settles down soon - are you really sure you want to go through the problems you had when you were pregnant this time again? What happens if it were another pink?

There is no reason to think it would be as bad next time.. and if it was pink.. then I get to buy more frilly dresses.. I LOVE frilly dresses!!!! And if OH wants a son to carry on his surname he can shop elsewhere!! lol Bear in mine he is the only person in the country able to pass on his surname.

basks in glory...

Have just been curry sauce tasting...blind tasting of 4 types for which I get an 'incentive';)(cash) so a boost to the bathroom fund.

Oh bathroom suite is on order apparently:D:D:D:D:D

stairs hoovered because some idiot dropped a full dish of gerbil food down them while going to feed her new boys (Bullseye, Woody and Buzz) erm - that'd be me then:rotfl:

Emmala

Valli - you're my hero. Or should that be heroine?! Unless there is an OTT PC version that I don't know about, in which case, you're that too x

fedupandskint

I have flown around the LR and tis now done

Moving onto the BR now - back later on

Valli - I love your wishing well

Kazw - neighbour was very good (it is a few doors down as we were at a friends house) and said he has a spare piece of glass. He has been such a toad this week and so rude it was just another thing. He has been made to miss cricket (last session of the session) for being so vile. I feel horrid as he is so upset at not going. DH and DS1&2 all say I've done the right thing but it doesn't feel like it with him sobbing.

Serena hope DD is happier after going shopping. Will she consider module retakes in January?

Vanilla gentle hugs of your poor boy

Off to do a bit of online shopping - am I right that some of you use figleaves and are happy?
