    Hi all,

    Quick question for the night owls on here...

    On the right of the forum is a 'Free money saving e-mail banner',

    on my screen it overlaps the text on the thread.

    First time it's done this...is it just me or is it the thread today?

    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.

    Little Miss MPB - when my son was born, daughter was 4, he was an awful sleeper and I felt guilty that I wasn't having much mum and daughter time. My brother took her to see the first Toy Story, he got her the biggest tub of popcorn and she watched it all without a peep and really loved it!

    Toots - Thanks for your advice, have had a chat with them this afternoon about tidying up. My daughter is so tired all the time and is having really bad back ache, so I do just get on with things for them.

    Just off to iron work clothes for the weekend.

    Had a bath and washed my hair, I would normally do it in the morning but always makes me a bit rushed, so feel a bit more organised tonight.

    All washing dry off the line, just needs putting away now!

    Kitchen all tidy for the morning. Must put on DW before bed.

    Have delegated weeding the front garden to OH, he needs to do it before the FA Cup final!

    Have a good weekend everyone, big hugs to you all.
    Enjoy Eurovision tomorrow evening :beer:

    Pixie
    🎄The most wonderful time of the year 🎄

    well didn't get the job

    that I'm already doing

    and have been for the last 2 years on a temporary contract

    they gave it to an outside person

    and have created a new role for me

    so a sideways step

    AND I AM SEETHING

    how ever it does mean I will have a nice clean house by Monday because when I am cross I clean!!!!!! So watch out dust bunnies I am on the WARPATH
    Go hopefully into each new day, enjoy something from every day no matter how small, you never know when it will be your last
