Morning all, hoping to get quite a bit done over the next few hours, little one is out with nanny and grandad for a bit so i'm going to try and tackle some stuff upstairs. Will report in later with progress, thinking i'm going to try and sort out my many many clothes and also try to sort out babies room. 30 mins hits i'm thinking interspersed with 10 mins MSE time:)

Superdrug order arrived.. smellies for the small pinks and wipes for the grotty two... and slap/nail polish for DD2

I can't find 2 of the 3 pairs of trousers I've sold.. ggrrrr.. bet the are in the box I looked in first!

Well, we have a reprieve from OH's mums this weekend as the dog is on its last legs, so I get to sort all the pressies into individual boxes this weekend and install loads of stuff on laptop (Memo to self.. admin account, AV, WoW, Roblox, parental controls Office, java, flash.. and all the updates)

off to have a second look through the ebay boxes for trousers.. might demand tea too..

CY.. have you had a peek in the cistern.. make sure there isn't a layer of ice stopping it filling up.. it could also just be the bar from the arm to the plug is unhooked.. it is usually one of these... my stupid loo just blocks constantly.. I am considering getting rid and getting a huuuuge bath. (not to conduct my excretions in of course!)

Geeks dumped at school.. Squeak eating.. off to do a cuppa and Dot's porridge. OH can feed her while I sort this ebay stuff and all the rest of the stuff I never got done yesterday!

Thanks for the advice - but it is a posh pushbutton one and i can't work out how to have a look - you can't just lift the lid up like with the old one....:mad::mad:

Visit arranged for tomorrow - until then it's filling buckets of water in the bath....

Loved your comment/explanation about the bath...:p;);)

Ah right.. posh peepot! lol..

Other trousers found.. in the first box I looked in where I knew they were.. ggrrrr.... a book to parcel up now.. ..

My christmas book order just arrived too so I need to stash that lot too.. I am running out of bedroom!

Anyone who has had dealing with CSA how long do they take to actually do anything?? I sent forms in weeks ago, they rang to confirm they had received them and nothing has been heard since, it has been about 7 weeks I think..

Coping vibes for you and DS - there's nothing like a tense domestic atmosphere for dragging you down. Good luck with your Frogs.:o

Ionafan glad things are looking a bit better for your DH; I can empathise - I had to take medical retirement from work some years ago, and it took an absolute age to get them to actually agree to it, despite the best efforts of my GP, the Welfare Officer, and even the on-site Army doctor! They were hoping I'd give up and resign, so that they wouldn't have to pay me a pension.:mad: (I wasn't in the Army, I was a civilian working on an MoD site, for clarification). Hoping your BD chases its stick and stays away from you.;)

GP appointment at sparrow-fart has been decluttered; she's going to chase up why I haven't had a call-in to see the rheumy, and also try and organise some sort of scan on my shoulder.

Dogs have been exercised - half-hour of intensive tennis-ball-throwing in the back garden.:D

Bathroom, here I come.....:eek::eek::eek:
