    Cinema done here, kids loved it plus I thought it was good too. :rotfl:

    Now 3 are decluttered outside and DS3 is watching another movie on tv and playing.

    I need to get up of my backside and get my bedroom done.

    Mummyof5 sorry to hear about your mum's cat.
    cyclingyorkie glad to hear your mum's ok.

    Evening all

    Today's flying - WM1 on the line
    DW emptied by DS2

    Been to LSE with DS2, been to a Governors meeting. I need a cuppa now and then to hoover up all the plaster dust before I fall asleep.

    Evening all!

    Mummyyto5 sorry to hear about the kitty :(
    Pigpen, how was nursery?

    Paid stuff finished for week (sort of, may need to check up on a thing or two on Friday). Have done another wash tonight, its now on the airer, and weather dependant, may go out tomorrow.

    I appear to have put on 6lb overnight :doh: checked under scales and two of the feet are broken :hmm: who's been jumping on it??? But @rgos had some salter analyser scales reduced to £12.49 :money: so I collected on way home - and I'm now 7lb less than this morning - best diet ever :rotfl: also needed a few bits from b00ts and as she rung them through she said "ooh you've just enough on your points card by 3p!" So that paid for those. Got myself some defuzzing bits, some aveeno cream, a shine spray for my hair and a free magazine.

    Then collected kidlets, fed, bathed, sent to bed as both have got the moodies from being tired I think ;) it's very quiet up there, anyhow!

    So I'm just having the last of the soup. Might make a broccoli one tomorrow.

    Also called land registry earlier, just to get the title number for the house. I still haven't taken Mr Bossy's name off the deeds :o anyway, lady very helpful, talked me through the form and where to send, and she said its free to do.

    So tonight I might declutter some leg fur ;) and have a bit of a read in bed. We have a morning at school tomorrow, inlaws are back from hol and want kiddies on Friday - serendipity as my mums friend turns 50 tomorrow and is having a night out Fri, and I'm invited!

    CY.. glad mum is ok.. is her phone maybe with a tv package like sky or something?? Vodka is good... have a couple for me!

    Eventually DD1 remembered that mum's phone is with the Post Office. I hunted down their number and rang them. Fault noted and the first available engineer will be off to sort it!

    Is it me that finds it ironic that the customer service for the PO is in the UK, but the customer service for British Telecom is not?

    I know i'm a bit sensitive on the subject of outsourcing jobs to the Indian subcontinent ( next week we find out if OH's job is going that way), but BT were completely useless on the phone and took ages to answer, whereas PO were brilliant!

    Evening flyladies. Just the dailies done here plus from the list I wiped the light switches (both of them). I was worn out earlier after a busy paid stuff day, but feel I've got a second wind now, not that I'm planning to do anything constructive.
    Spend less now, work less later.
