    Oh Jo that was quite a tantrum wasn't it? I hope you both feel a bit better. Mine are lots younger but I always ignore when they say they're not hungry, and keep to regular mealtimes as they can be 'orrible otherwise.

    Morning All

    Jojo - my daughter hates me half of the time too - I think it's an age thing!

    Still undecided whether to send DS to school or not today - he's desperate to go as it's the dress rehearsal of his play in front of some of the school today. His temperature has come down a lot but he's still coughing and is full of cold - I don't know what to do.

    Anyway, parents' evening tonight and then DD is in a dance festival so I'm going to that.

    Have a good day all

    Hugs

    Poor Jojo - kids eh!! Hopefully she's in a better frame of mind today.

    Not sure how much I will get done today as it's the Ideal Home Show for us later - I'm looking forward to it! Who knows, seeing all those pristine state of the art TIDY homes might spur me on to be even tidier - well I can hope ha ha!!

    Hope everyone has a good day!
    :j Almost 2 stones gone! :j

    Morning lovelies! :wave:

    Congrats sexymouse :j

    I've been without the internet because the council chopped the wires off outside :eek: the virgin person was calling them allsorts :rotfl:got it fixed and reconnected for free though after I kicked up a stink :money: got a new flashy modem thing and 30 meg broadband too. So, just found five minutes to post on my favourite thread.

    House is gorgeous :cool: I'm soooooo happy to be back. Still got boxes everywhere upstairs, but the downstairs is almost sorted, will be heading into littley's room once she goes to school to fill her wardrobe up, I can't be doing with thousands of binbags full of clothes lol

    Jojo I've got one like that too, she's turned into a she-devil overnight, what an attitude. Hope things are calmer today for you x

    Got a list as long as your arm:-

    move boxes/bags in littleys room (there's hundreds)
    empty contents
    fill wardrobe with clothes/shoes
    find somewhere to put stuff (we lost a large cupboard)
    work 11- 5
    hoover through
    WM
    S&S kitchen
    tidy LR
    sort tea
    put boxes into my room (removal men just dumped them anywhere)
    hang washing out
    finalise shopping list for tomorrow

    Incidentally, I went to Aldi last week and saved a whopping £23.98p compared to my Asda list, and I got much more :money: and the stuff is lovely, new Aldi convert here.

    Off to do stuff, laters xx
