DO the listings head them all REVISE then you can update with pictures later - basically just do a title, pick a cetegory then 'tidy' them up later.

I believe that's what our glorious leader does

Thanks - have just ironed stuff. I now realise why I'm never buying linen mix anything ever again:cool:. I did have a pang of "what if I don't shed enough beef before spring? I'll have to buy something else as a half-way house" But I'm over it - I'll just have to make sure I lose more (once i've finished my apple pies :rotfl:).

Off to list now - see you later x

Triker big hugs for you and your DD. You must be very proud of your DD for picking to get it done sooner rather than later.

Dusty Well done on all the hard work in the garden. :T

Hex and Greenbee, i'll join you on facebook to because i'm getting nowhere fast regarding weight loss. It's my own fault, i don't plan it properly so never do it. Plus the added fact i live on buns, cakes, biscuits and just rubbish.

*Rant alert*
I'm so P**ed off, late night all weekend so very tired today. Got up this morning fed kids then hubby states someone needs to go to church or his ones would be abit off with us because he said he would go. So hubby in a mood because he doesn't want to go, so i decide to go with DD just to keep the peace. Only have 15 minutes to get ready, have Rhys under my feet eventho hubby is told to watch him. Go to church come home and have to make dinner, apperently it's hard work keeping an eye on Rhys. So after dinner i say i'm away to sleep while Rhys is down. DS2 comes in 4 times about sweets and ends up waking Rhys. I go up to the livingroom and hubby is lying on the sofa sleeping (still is too). I'm flipping livid, has anything changed with him going away for the week? No not one flipping thing........I could scream......:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

Now i'm going to take my p***ed off mood out on some cleaning. I honestly don't know why i bother doing anything for him as he does nothing for me at all..........walks off still muttering to herself......

Wet stuff falling from the sky again. Today, the splats have decided that all out total warfare is not worth their time and are sleeping wrapped around various radiators.

Ventured out with DD to get some flour, caster sugar and paper cases for cupcakes for school. Bumped into a bloke I used to work with. My first thought was 'great, I only ever get noticed when I'm looking like rubbish', but he was with his husband, so I felt a bit better after that :rotfl:

Seafarer - the track is on Metallica's Black Album - easy to spot, it's just black - so not too much time waiting for the cases to jump out and bite you. I am not going to mention that if you use QCut, they save your card details and recognise your phone number, so all you need is your QVC pin when you hit speedial :whistle: And certainly not mentioning that if you order online through Quidco instead, you get cashback. :whistle: :whistle: :whistle:

Yorkie - last time I looked, M&S did cords or suchlike that would be suitable for playground crowd control. And their stuff is usually so much better than Evan's [whispers] (and doesn't appear to be aimed at 6 foot tall, huge breasted, flat stomached, sparrow ankled ladies of the night, when not ideal in terms of spangles, sparkles and shoulder pads for a Soho Revue.)

I suppose I should wander over and see if the chook chook is burned yet. I got distracted.


If it isn't then time to eat, then vegetate in front of iPlayer whilst DD bakers some cakes.

Vanilla, I empathise and also despair with the snoring OH. I also need someone to fling mules at me when I eat cakes

My lovely DS's are currently playing a game that involves hiding under the dining table and attempting to hit OH on the head with a frying pan. They really do watch far too much TV .

Time for HHI x three million

You trying to catch us all out?!?!?!

I just want to go to bed and if I don't do it while it is in my head I will forget!

I did have to double check it is Sunday though..

There's a beautiful recording of nothing else matters with a full orchestra - it's really dramatic and possibly would be seen by some as "a bit more weddingy" that said, I love the original Might be worth having a look for Still metallica just a touch softer.

Greenbee - I need your help! I have to make myself find a way to exercise that doesn't leave me doing my best little old lady impression, but I also need someone to compete with . Come back and play on the Facebook thread and we can [STRIKE]nag[/STRIKE] spur each other on to actually do something. I am away for a weekend with the whole family :eek: in June and we have booked a Villa in N. Portugal for a week in July, then I have my sisters wedding in November so I need to get myself sorted or be ashamed of the photos.

Oh well, in that case I guess I'll have to start behaving as of tomorrow. I'm actually pretty sure that all the sugar I'm eating isn't helping my mood or lethargy. I know if I eat the right stuff I feel better.

AnW'sMum wrote: »

Greenbee I don't mean to upset you but you seem so down with everything going on in your life that I wonder if it is worth you looking for another job away from your ex. In times past you have mentioned that your job skills are in demand within the industry. If you could work for another company then at a stroke you will remove yourself from the situation of having to deal with him in any capacity unless you choose to do so. If this is not practical or causes offence then I apologise, it is not meant as such.

Not offended, but I'm not sure I can cope with looking for a new job right now. Plus I'm GOOD at this one, and need at least another couple of years to build my profile. Ex could do with finding a new job (it was part of the plan for this year anyway) either internally or externally, but he's not in the right place for doing it at the moment.

I know what I need to do is pull myself together and get on with things, which I'm perfectly capable of doing. And a couple of days of eating properly and maybe even getting some fresh air should get things back on track. So if I make a HUGE effort over the next week, hopefully I'll be OK. I think I'm exhausted this week because I've deliberately been so busy since the split - and another weekend away would just have been too much!

I've done some work - reviews of other people's work, as my brain isn't in a state to deal with my own work, but it's fine for [STRIKE]criticising [/STRIKE]commenting on stuff that others have written! And its stuff off tomorrow's list. Just need to decide whether the gym is a good idea tomorrow or whether I should give it a miss until I feel better, and maybe just have a walk and get some fresh air tomorrow instead.

Well the lists are slowly going down. The boys room are done finally, took all day mind:o.
Our room is still a tip, but i have had a mega throw out session. Still have loads to do but at least its getting there.

Also found about six loads of washing in rooms:eek:. Apparently the boys dont remember stashing dirty clothes under they bed or wardobe, just don't ask.

We have literally spent all week, throwing out junk. Even though i threw loads out back in June, it all magically came back.

Ah well at least the lists for next week won't be as bad!

Right better carry on cracking with the cleaning. Oh great the washers stopped, better bung another load in , ah how i love having a washing machine. No more standing over bath for me !!
