    Good afternoon lovelies,

    WEll I have done 3 of my 5 assessments...each one had 4 or 5 lessons in it so it took me MUCH longer than I thought it would :( ...however Im more than halfway there :)

    Ive printed off my course work for next week and done a short numerical test which I needed to. HAve now found out I need to do a 1000 word essay on obesity and whose responsibility it is...

    Hmmm, just when I thought I was getting somewhere :rotfl:

    Anyhow, my WM has finised... hours ago! So I best go do something with that and pick LO from school club. Will need to swing by a supermarket to pick up some potatoes/carrots for my soup... I have some celery wilting in the fridge so Ill use that up too :)

    Oooh pigpen, Id appreciate the fuel voucher... Every little helps n all that, if no one else wants it..

    Wait until later to see if someone else needs it more than me - im not desperate for fuel cos Im only using the car on an absolutely ESSENTIAL basis, and raining doesnt count... much to LOs dismay :D

    Evil mother :)

    But rather than it go to waste, Id love cheaper fuel :) xx

    I have been trying to keep up with the lists this week but haven't been posting very much. I've been reading though and want to send hugs and positive vibes to everyone that needs them.

    I have done 3 hours of vacuuming and fumigating the entire house today because WE HAVE FLEAS!!! :eek: We frontline the cat regularly so I'm not sure how this has happened, but it wasn't a really bad infestation so I'm hoping that my hard work from today has paid off and got rid of them all. I feel a lot better sat on the sofa tonight than I did last night when all I could do was think about the fleas!! Has anyone else had experience of getting rid of fleas and / or frontline not working?

    Busy weekend lined up of catching up with all of the lists, lots of laundry, and a spot of batch cooking perhaps. I will be back tomorrow to update on the lists etc once I have made further headway - I am up to halfway through Wednesday I think!

    Hope you're all having a lovely evening.
  • Just finished hoovering the upstairs, couldn't do it until this evening as didn't want to disturb the cat :doh::rotfl:

    Other than the hoovering and dailies not much else achieved. Me thinks I'm backing myself into a corner :eek:. The more I know I have to do the more I seem to rebel against myself :eek: why do I do it to myself. :o

    Hi Deus, We had the same problem with fleas this year. I had to phone vets in the end. Fleas have become imune to frontline :eek:. I wish I knew this before I spent over £50 on the stuff for all my animals,:mad: I have always used frontline and never had a problem before. In the end i had to use another flea treatment from the vets advantix I think. Also the bog standard house flea spray didn't work either, and I had to purchase indorex house spray which is brilliant stuff but get it online as much cheaper. Hope this helps. :)
