    I am the Verucca buster!!!!!

    I got out my emery board.. and sanded them off DD1's feet... heeheehee.. she hates me.. I made her eyes leak and her foot blood.. and I told her to shut up being a baby and I don't want grandchildren if she is going to behave like that!! lol She has 2 of those tiny round plasters onthem.. anything for a peaceful life.. and she blooded on my carpet!!!

    She says it was child abuse.. and I said it is medical procedure.. lol.. honestly she is SUCH a pap

  • Evening All!
    Am completely broken tonight. Too much trying to do it all again and as such have conked out on the sofa with glass of wine. I decided not to fly today (but that was before I knew Pigpen was at the helm!)
    Have managed to pack school stuff for tomorrow and make snacks and lunches though. Something nice happened - my uncle has 2 seats at Wembley and has offered them to DH and me for the footie on Saturday. I know absolutely nothing about the beautiful game - but am a great judge of men's legs!! (Can anyone explain the offside rule in words of one syllable for the technically challenged!!)
    Hugs to those in need!!

    is 10p listing still on pigpen? wondering whether i should list a few bits. though the last lot only made about £18 including postage profit! but better than a kick in the teeth i guess! i'll see when i've flown tonight...

    right, my scaled down list for before bed is:

    put things back where they should be
    filing on desk & tidy bits up
    dust everywhere
    hoover everywhere
    clear kitchen worktop (i ran out to work having made soup!)
    hoover / wash new futon cover & wipe frame
    bag for charity shop
    empty bag from time away & case from last weekend
    empty DW
    clean bathroom

    right, i'll set the timer for 30 mins and report back how i've done for starters. i'm only going for an hour in all, am tired!!!

    :T :T :T WOO HOO

    I did everything I wanted to do and still had 22 mins left on clock so have just put kettle on to have a cuppa with OH who is at home tonight. :D:D

    To all those newcomers - IT CAN BE DONE, the more you do it the easier it becomes.

    I think I'll show Littlemeister your threat Pigpen see if it makes a difference, she can definitely forget her trip out I was gonna give her this weekend unless she sorts it on Saturday.

    Oh and diets tits up for another day. Friend at work who nags me about sticking to it bought me a twix (am allowed chocolate but not biscuit) and OH bless him bought me a lovely lemon cheesecake to have after tea. How could I say no :o

  • hi Kazmeister!
    Where I work we have a rule that anything brown has zero calories - that way we can munch on stress induced chocolate safe in the knowledge that we can't possibly be putting on weight. (To be honest - I am concerned though that the wardrobe has been shrinking waistbands on all my clothes for a while now!!)

  • Thanks Pigpen - I promise promise promise that it will all be sorted by then! (Not that I'm scared in any way!!!!) By the way - are you open to any form of cyber-bribery?? I cook a mean virtual brownie or virtual spiced muffin????
