    EE- Thank you for reminding me!!! Since the holidays started I have been so slack taking them I forget most mornings :o it used to be part of my routine but routine has been thrown out the window of late! This might explain some of my hormonal imbalances of late :o:o....tablet taken today, and hopefully lesson learnt there!! :eek:

    I do feel guilty - all I seem to do is come on here every month and post about Agnus Castus - I might manufacture my own:rotfl:

    I do read the diaries every day - well I get the updates emailed to me overnight and read them while having breakfast which I why I reply hours after everyone else.

    Hope you are still taking the tablets!! I keep mine by the microwave and I always use that to make my coffee in the morning so no forgetting.
  • EE I've thought about using normal soap but decided against only because I wasn't sure if it would strong enough. The water here is so hard I find it impossible sometimes to keep kids clothes clean! The branded stuff I used to use was no good either :eek: I wonder if it is just my washing skills :p

    Agnus about to be taken with my iron too ;) perhaps I should set a reminder on my phone because if I'm completely honest i'd forgotten again :o:( !!!!

  • Agnus has been taken now :cool: I've also fed kids, dressed them and put their paddling pool up & filled it. Once they were chucked into it to play they were out from under my feet so I could get on with cleaning :) have put on a wash, hoovered upstairs & put away 3 lots of clothes. Am shattered now so having a well deserved break :D

    Checked online banking there is £300 in my current account, i'm itching to put it into 'pots' and my new Isa, but I had best leave it there just in case it's needed.....plus the tenancy money is supposed to cover pots & savings this month! If she pays....:)

    I've had to download some new security for my laptop as the last one had expired and I hadn't realised :o i've been getting annoying pop-ups everytime i open a new page or click on a link for a while now! AVG is being downloaded as I type and I hope it works!! My laptop is already painfully slow as it's only a teeny netbook with not much memory and with the pop ups it's even slower :wall:

    Hoping for a NSD today as i've plenty in the house to be getting on with and the kids have toys & paddling pool in garden. I can take them to the park later if they get bored as it's just across the road and also take the dog for a walk too. I've had a few NSD's this month already so happy with that :) Hope everyone reading is ok and enjoying the nice weather (when the rain and clouds disappear!)

    p.s if you're looking for good films to watch with kids I can recommend 'Jack the gi@nt slayer' and 'Oz the great and p0werful' we downloaded both and they are great :T (and free....!)

  • Hi just a quick post about soap for washing powder, I've used $unlight lemon version which has been fantastic and smells lovely too but I found a pack C@stille soaps 5 in a pack which I'm going to make up a batch today. They were in the bargains of homes shop and really cheap although I can't remember exact price I know they were well under a pound.
