    Hello ladies. I've been on this thread a couple of times in the last couple of years, and life always gets in the way in the end! I'm planning on lurking this week, and then starting again with a vengeance next week. I think I've caught up with any new things ( a "toots" list is a long-term one right? but what is a Frog List?)
    Hope to get to know some of you (again!) x

    Sammie OMG I'd be absolutely furious! There's no way they should have been involved in this especially as it is outside of school campus AND hours! :mad: I agree with pigpen too, I've always told all of mine to fight back but don't ever throw the first punch, tell the school what for then tell them they either get this other girl sorted out for picking on your DD or you'll be getting in touch with the education authority/and/or your councillor to get your DD removed. Is that an option? xx

    Guess what???!!!!!

    We're getting Lily back! :j:T:j the lady that had her was looking to rehome her as she thinks one of her kids is allergic so just got off the phone with her and she's thrilled she's got her original owner back.....and you'll never believe where she lives, not 60 seconds walk away :eek::D picking her up tomorrow avo, need to buy food/litter and stuffs and also got to keep her in for 4 weeks.....erm....try forever! :D

    Walloped tea town, sorted out all the clean washing that was in my room and housed back into appropriate bedrooms. Ooooooh I'm all excited woot!

    xx_Jo_xx - thank you for the stardrops tip ... I haven't got any in at the mo but if the fairy soap and soda crystal mixture doesn't work I'll be getting some tomorrow.

    Going to go into town tomorrow with DH for a new phone. I know its not very old style or money saving but my phone is so carp and its payg and i'm starting to pay a heck of a lot ... he got an htc sense for £25 a month with 300 free any network minutes, unlimited any network texts and 500 mb of free internet every month ... i want a blackberry so will see what they offer me. He also traded in his old phone and got a free payg for DD1, so if I get a bramble as i call it i'll trade mine in for one for DD2 ... fingers crossed i can get a contract! been payg for 3 years now and gettin so sick of it! DH has a mate that works in the phone shop so fingers crossed he gets me a good deal!

    Washing nearly done ... keeping fingers crossed!

    WM on again... more laundry gathered from DS... never ending story.
    My weekend bag finally emptied
    Sink filled with hot soapy water and dirty dishes, will wash them shortly.
    Head seriously done in... no where to hide from kids
    Kitchen swished again - if I wash the dishes and move my bag, it will look normal.

    Half way through sainsubury shop too...
