  • Hi everyone. Need to get ironing done and declutter DD2 to her vaccinations appointment...haven't told her yet!
    Please do not confuse me with other gratefulsforhelp. x
  • Morning all :)
    Feeling rough again - but I think thats hanging out with snotty littlies, germ ridden dontchaknow :rotfl:
    Me cold really does seem to have gone, so I spose it's about time for a new one :rotfl:

    List not too bad today, I have one pot in the kitchen I cant clean and DH said he'll take to it with the special cleaner on the weekend. - My kitchen's sooo teeny it's enough to make it look a right tip though.

    and the lounge floor needs going over again
    and Charlie has turned into a poop machine and needs cleaning out - although that's a two person job - beagle wrangler needed.

    artichoke - good luck with lambing, do you live anywhere near me? I wanna feed the babies :rotfl: no seriously, if you need a hand and you're close, give me a shout.

    - have you tried the conker thing? That's supposed to work, I think b3ttaware sell conker spray to keep them out?
    PenPen - mmmmm pancakes - We might have to do a redo of pancake day mmmmmmmm
    Feel better to all the sickies and the ones with sicky or fussy littlies

    And lastly (for now) My bestest mate has Huntingdons disease and the DVLA yanked her driving license without even looking at her. Today she has to do a retest to see if she's able to have it back.
    I think she's safe and happily got in the car with her whilst preggers. She's pooping a brick at the moment, so sending BE CALM and PASS vibes her way. (Like it's not hard enough having to deal with 2 kids and a terminal illness!) She also has a social phobia, so this is especially hard for her. She feels safe in the car, but driving with a stranger is gonna be a struggle :( Love her to bits and need her to get this part of her independence back
