Well done to your sis! Hope she recovers very soon!

Did my hall...

I scrubbed the hall stairs! And scrubbed one door, the bathroom door. I'm so ashamed, I have not once cleaned those doors since moving in, 5 YEARS AGO! All woodwork scrubbed, light switches and the window.

Discovered what stardrops can do!

Also cleaned bathroom, cleaned up kitchen - just got some dishes to do...

So then time for a coal miners wash, make up on and get into town before shops shut.

add to list,

Get clear varnish for over not-so-clever-idea-of-egg shell-paint-in-hall. :rotfl:

Hugs Shirley
Can't wait to hear what she has galantvr4 - bet you're so excited.

I've not looked at the list yet so will do that now in the half hour before school pick up. DS is on school trip to the beach today and it's storms here so I hope it's ok in Wales.

Edited to include (because I hadn't read the last page of the thread) - brilliant about the little boy galantvr4, that's quite a weight!!

Nearlynewbie - hugs to you too xx

Well I am run ragged today...

I was at college this morning.. last one.. unless I enrol again in September.. this afternoon I have spent 2 hours trying to find childcare for tiddles for Friday morning and noone can/will have her.. she isn't THAT bad really lol. I have a meeting at school with DS1 to sort out his college place which his tutor is a pill-lock and thinks he has the authority to kick him off the course.. that should be fun!

My RSI is BAD this week.. and my friend came down at the weekend with her hubby and their respective germs and now I have a sore throat so the chances are I've caught their colds and will wind up with tonsilitis like I usually do.. I'd cry now but it hurts too much.

Todays list... though I'm not doing too good at it!!

mmmmm quick I need to know the tooth fairy's real name! Also do you think there is a tooth fairy queen?

My DD wrote a letter to her the other day and left it under her pillow and she is waiting for a reply!!!!!!!!!

When she lost a tooth on 23rd Dec and left it under her pillow she was most disgusted on Christmas Eve to find it still there! BUT when we looked on email the tooth fairy had left an email saying how she had been helping Father Christmas load his sleigh and that she would be round that night for any teeth On Christmas morning there was a shiny £1 coin and a pressie from the tooth fairy.

The reply to this latest letter needs to be in place by 4pm :eek:

Just received my parcel with the storage boxes and magazine rack i ordered at the weekend, so i am now happy as i wasn't expecting it tomorrow. I'm having a physically tough day as monkey man is forever climbing up me or patting the cats rather too hard. I had to hoover with one hand as the other was holding him up, so i feel rather tired and achey. I've just put him down again for a sleep, although i can hear he hasn't dropped off yet, so thought i would have a minute and a catch up on here.

AnW's Mum, have a look at this site

Has printable certificates and letters.

The tooth fairy doesn't have a name, but comes from a cross between a story called ''La Bonne Petite Souris'' when a good queen asks a mouse to help her defeat the evil king. The mouse hides under the kings bed and knocks out all his teeth! And, popular Mythology involving a mixture of evil creatures stealing children's bones being made to settle for teeth only if a silver coin is given in exchange and a few others, mostly involving feeding the teeth to mice...
