    I'm in. House looking OK with the S&S advertising break routine. Even got DH to do it although it still looks like WW3 has broken out in his study. :D

    Will have to really get AIG tomorrow. Lots of paid work to do and also flying, and a frogs list a mile long.

    DH just phoned to say he's doing a 2nd all nighter in a row. Grrr. Don't you just love the NHS.

    Thanks to FCC for the thread. Once the mayhem starts again tomorrow I don't think I'll have much time to pop in, but I'll try to do a bit each day. Last week was all about getting through the week after we were away over half-term, but I'm feeling a bit better prepared this week. We'll see how long it lasts.

    Max - I'd have never tried freezing sarnies until I massively over-catered for DS2's birthday party last week. I was left with 6 each of cheese and ham (2 slices of bread per sarnie). I bagged the lot and they've been great - cheese, ham, and both together. I'm not sure which other fillings I'd try to freeze, but I'll never waste ham again! It's also been good for me, as I've not gone without lunch for a week. ;) This week I'm planning on taking some bits to go with it, like tomatoes and strips of peppers.

    Another two weeks until our timetable changes (we're starting the next academic year early) and we'll have 40 minutes for lunch instead of half an hour.

    I'm in again this week.

    DH and FIL picked up a new (old) dining table today. RoD aka dining room is quite small and we had a massive table that seated 8. Great for when people come to stay, but a bit of a squeeze. Am v v excited as as can see a bit more of the floor and will make decluttering a lot easier.

    Have told DH we are spending 10 minutes a night on our bedroom so we can get that sorted too.

    Am stressing a bit as baby DS will not take a bottle and I have to go back to work on the 4th July. I've tried different bottle,s different people, cups. Any suggestions ladies?
