    Morning, off to do the bathroom while DS1 is at school, then spending the afternoon washing and drying as we are starting the dreaded potty training tomorrow and I want to make sure DS1 has enough trousers! Do you think covering the entire house in plastic sheeting is a bit drastic...?

    Not at all, my boys still can't aim into the flipping toilet. :mad:
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.

    Morning all

    Happy Birthday Macpep - eat cake, drink fizz and have a great day

    Helped my friend prepare for her school meeting. Any spare good luck vibes for her getting a place for her DD at another school greatly appreciated.

    I have just had my annual phone call from my local councillor to invite me on the annual river clean, which long standing Flyladies will remember I've done before!
    ( I accidentally went waist deep one year *shiver* and drip dried...:rotfl:)

    BUT I was supposed to go to the LSB's and meet the parents tomorrow. I can do that anytime - I can only river clean (with support) once a year so I hope he'll be understanding...the river clean is SERIOUS flying and my annual *put a bit back into my local environment* thing. Oh and we get fish'n'chips for lunch, free:money:
    :rotfl: So remember this, I thought you was only in it for finding a man in the river so good on you for continuing :A

    Vanilla - hugs for poor Rhys

    Going to make the topping for the Pandowdy
    Quick S&S and dust and then

  • Vanilla - sorry to hear about DS1, I hope he will be better soon.

    Hellyboo - GOOD LUCK!!!!

    Well, the gas man came to do the meter and he said he would fit a slow one!:rotfl::rotfl:

    He also recommended that I had a new condensing boiler put in as mine is rather old (over 20yrs!). I am in receipt of DLA and incapacity benefit so I should be able to qualify under the Warmfront scheme.
    Has anyone any experience of their boilers? I have heard some iffy reports about Warmfront recently.

    I'm part way through the bathroom but feel the need for a cuppa so will continue after that

    I'm just having a coffee and then we'll get going again.
  • well got paid today and have reduced my overdraft :D so instead of it being at £2200, its now at £1900 and will be reduced even more next payday. hopefully i will have it cleared before he gets home, i suppose if we did need to postpone the wedding at least i wouldnt have an overdraft and just my credit card to worry about.

    right off to do some flying, have made a loaf of bread so far this morning. made the dough last night and left it to rise overnight and its turned out ok.
