    Ladies, can I ask you a question, which I suppose is kinda flying-related as its about getting organised.

    Is it worth buying a Breadmaker - or is it a novelty I will never use??

    What is with blokes and the wrong end of a stick.

    OH and DS1 just been grumping at each other, I tell them BOTH off, then OH throws toys out of pram and says I'm taking sides with DS1, not backing him up like a good wifey.

    Doh, I give in he has gone to sulk in the BR, with the lights off.

    No problem can withstand the assault of sustained thought.
    Only after the last tree has been cut down. Only after the last fish has been caught. Only after the last river has been poisoned. Only then will you realize that money cannot be eaten.

    Oh, inventive ways of cleaning the light shade without standing on the bed cos Toots tells me off for doing that, of course! What did you think I thought you meant??:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    I've decluttered a whole load of calories on WiiFit+ and am cream crackered now. :eek: Also made some dumplings to go in tonights vegetable stew.:drool: I really need to put my thinking cap on and get the meal plan done a bit further into the future.

    I've got a BM - Mum gave it to us for a wedding present - I use it about once a month for DH [Olive Bread] I don't like the bread too much as it comes out quite heavy - probably something I'm doing wrong but I like shop bread

    Next time finish their telling off with 'now you can both consider yourselves chastised like children and can go sulk in your respective rooms '

    Missy has had a long snooze so she won't go to bed tonight but it doesn't matter because I slept too.. :p... and she appears to be feeling much better.. I have a blinding headache now though which will hopefully be fixed with caffeine and dinner.. SCHOOL FOR EVERYONE TOMORROW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
