    Gunsandbandjos - well done on the ebay listing, this is one of my frogs and has been for 3 weeks now! Hugs to your DD x

    I have so much crap to ebay i really needed to make a start! Dragged it all out, took photos and i'm just listing as much as i can when i get a chance.
    Cant wait til it sells and i can get rid of it. Trying to declutter house before i go back to uni as its easier to keep the house clean if there is less clutter:)

    Well of course I went to collect the new dishwasher, and guess what, the booggerloos didn't have any in the store, so Currys and Comet you can kiss my artistic face.:D


    Must ebay more stuff and go christmas shopping and uniform shopping and other things.


    I washed up by hand earlier, that's flying that I don't want to do, childhood trauma of being made to wash up.

    Morning All

    Not had a lot of sleep due to having a very late night as the kids have both got friends sleeping over - needless to say, they're all still in bed. I need a kick up the backside today as I've done no washing up since I got back from my hols - can't actually get to the sink very well as all the stuff that hasn't been unpacked and the washing I haven't finished is in the kitchen - I had to give the kids small knives (like toddler ones) with their tea last night because there were no normal sized ones left :o - Piggers can I bring my washing up round in a laundry basket too!

    Today I've got to take the dog to the vets for his jabs and then the kids have got their swimming lessons tonight but I should have all afternoon free although I may still have 4 kids.

    Hugs to all esp LW, Jojo's minion, Oberon, LL, Toots and all the others who are struggling at the mo.

    Have a good day all
