    have been collared by school to help on a trip so very little flying here - will be in a field pretending to be a Roman with Yr 3/4!

    Wish me luck - I'm gonna need it!

    Morning all,
    Despite the week from hell, I have been keeping up with level one at least - although I did the bathroom yesterday and will do our room today. It is starting to look better. I also cleaned the shower drain overnight - about every 6 months the water starts to get very slow and I have to stick one of the bottles down there - which always does the trick.

    This afternoon will give the kids a bag and tell them to remove 10 items from their rooms for rubbish or charity - if I do that every day for the next 6 months we might start to see a difference:rotfl:

    Off to work in a minute - hope everyone has a good day

    and the person who told you that is a confidante of the poilce and 'knows' what's going on does she? I think not.

    Get a notebook, write it down (who was there, who said what) and just put it in a safe place until/if you need more evidence.
    The person who harangued you is being hassled and is lashing out. Hold your head up!

    Jobs

    lounge (gerbil cage first)
    bathroom
    kitchen
    post e bay sales

    that'll do for starters...

    washing is already on the line

    it's almost 10:30 - I'm going in...
