    Evening! I'm in again - thank you pigpen and Toots x

    Thank goodness there is only one more week til half term :D

    pigpen - I can babysit for you (remember I have lots of SEN experience!!). Just make sure it's in the holidays cos it's a bit of a trek just for the weekend :p

    greenbee - hugs; I'm worried about you x

    I'm sorry I haven't been posting this week so take a Happy Birthday, Congratulations, Commiserations or simply a Hug as needed.

    helen - what a lovely day for DS yesterday; I remember how excited my friend's DD was when she was a mascot at Fratton Park. I am sure Grandad was watching with pride x

    Now, if I actually post a list, do you think it will make me do something! Mind you, it's Parents' Evening tomorrow and I'm going to a gig on Thursday so I can't see too much time for flying :o

    just decluttered 32 mins on the phone with my Mother:eek: and I have the joy of 3-4 hours tomorrow too:eek::eek::eek:. I am sorry for those of you that have lost your Mum and would dearly like a conversation with her but as the longer term regulars know the relationship between me and my Mum is not great. hey -ho thats my little problem and it wont be mentioned again.

    Sneaking in: no surfaces for me this week as OH is on earlies so the ocd takes over, but I will be dusting everthing, sleaning the front room windows, trying to to panic at the amount of ironing I now have after 5 load of washing today.
    Need to change the beds ( well get DD's to do theirs) and then get down to the paperwork.
    Oh and vacuum , and clean the kitchen floor. And hopefully the bathroom this evening.
    Proud to be dealing with my debt:eek:

    TOTAL: £6,437 (04/01/2013) slowly but surely it is decreasing:D
