    :eek:Poor Triker she'll be in hiding now:eek:

    Well I concieved DS1 on the pill and DS2 while on the contraceptive injection there is 23 mths between them. I then took nothing and didn't have DD till 6 yrs later when I sent OH for the snip:D

    Shush... you are making me anxious!! Dot being as awful as she is I'd be off down the clinic before the stick dried!

    Triker deals with a lot worse than us at work.. and she is far too nice. I've not seen her since we went for dinner.. she hides from me too!

    Morning all. Good news about Ed, well done all the fly kids on their results and welcome to Betty Crumble.

    Would you believe it, I've completed the lists up to date Mon-Thurs. After a really busy first 3 days at the paid stuff, yesterday was eerily quiet and I was able to take proper breaks and actually do flying. If it was like this all the time I would worry for my job.

    List for me for today if I have time around the paid stuff:

    Friday - Bathrooms
    Level One
    Clean toilets
    Level Two
    Clean bath/shower
    Clear and mop floors
    Level Three
    Clean sinks and taps
    Clear and wipe windowsill
    Extras
    HH Paperwork

    Also will do HHI at lunchtime

    Morning!

    Have no idea where I am re lists. Supposed to be taking tots to a music ananda dance class this am but it's been cancelled. Need to find something else to do...

    MIL stayed last night, as hairdresser came and she was coming to class, so no point going home in between. But she did do my ironing :A

    I don't think my head is working yet. Beginning to wonder if I do need the dr... :(

    Morning all.

    Well done all the fly kids on their results and welcome to Betty Crumble.

    Pigpen - I thought you were pregnant to, sorry!

    I woke at 3.30, gave up at 4.30 and got up and made a cake, no-one else woke till 8 so I slobbed about and read until there were signs of life, I've now sent DH off with a shopping list but I still need to go out and buy Ex a Birthday pressie from the kids, I really grudge having to spend money on him!

    Hello again.

    Bossy, go the to docs, you have to look after yourself especially for your little moos.

    I've vaccuumed the living room which is a daily job for me due to dogs. Have got first of three lots of washing in machine. It's pouring with rain here today so all will have to go on airers.

    Just off to clean the windowsills, may just do them all! Get me!

    Morning all

    Well done your your first day Betty.

    Mummy5 well done to your DS, good idea to start the A level decision with the subjects he got the Bs in

    DS1 in my bad books in a huge way, he will be having a very unpleasant few days, I'm hopping mad

    DS2 away to work on OT at 7:30

    Another cuppa next and the shower. Need to go to Mr M and get more petrol - yesterday's £10 has totally gone.
