    I have managed to get one hook up - and decluttered an awful lot of sweat in the process!

    Still, 2 dressing gowns are now hanging up and not on t'floor (as we say in these parts!)

    Just lost a long post-

    nutshell = flying suspended due to following reason CBA with a capital A

    DD1 decluttered from airport Sunday morning
    DS taken to party as planned
    EX decided to walk out early on young Skints visit before I got back
    Sis upset DoM (dear old Mum) while I was at said party leaving DD1 to field a teary and aggigated DoM on the phone and requesting a phone call back
    DD4 refused bottle screaming the Skint Pitz down for Daisy mode
    Dutifully returned phone call to DoM while multitasking Daisy mode, while DD3 thought it would be a good time to make a bad day worse

    When DD3 started to behave is a manner more becoming a young Skint she was allowed to have a cuddle in my bed with DS and I to watch Lil0 and Stitch (O-hana means family, no one gets left behind or forgotten) then DS decided his headache was really really bad enough to vomit all over my bed, duvet cover, pillows carpet the works. - Clean up done immediately, but that is it - CBA mode in full operation from that point.

    Horsepiddle done for DD3 for her skin this morning. Found a job opportunity for DD1 and have offered to take her down with her CV and informal meet the manager chat, but she CBA

    I love the Young Skints, but they are really doing my head in atm

    I will be lurking, and will get back flying at some point this week :o
    The cold never bothered me anyway

    Oh Skinty! You are having a bit of a time of it aren't you :( (((hugs))) I may be an Essex girl, but not close enough to offer real help :( I hope DS is feeling better now, & DD3 is feeling suitably sorry.

    I have been looking at policies & procedures this morning. It is SO TEDIOUS!! DH has hoovered & dusted our bedroom, and cleaned small hand prints off of the hall mirror.

    Dog had us up in the night as he was going berserk at cats fighting the garden :mad: Then DD2 rolled in at nearly 4am (with her friend). She was clubbing, so we did expect her at this time!

    DH & DS are about to play Wii sports, so I think I will get back to the paperwork. I may also check the lists and do a bit in the kitchen :)
