    Sorry to hear about your cat Borderlakeland - hugs to you.

    I've put a load of washing on, put away the dishes on the drainer, washed more dishes, cleared and cleaned the worksurface in my 30 mins.

    Want to go and see if there are any jobs on the council website before I go pick DD up from school so I'll catch you later if I get time with going to work.

    Katie If you haven't posted by tomorrow we'll send the search party in lol
    Tracey I don't feel uncomfortable in my clothes, I always buy things that are comfy, I may not look like much but I'm comfy lol

    Done nowt on the list other than the stairs :o OH tuned up this morning for a bacon buttie, then MIL phoned to say that she can't find the log book for the car she's giving me so I may have to wait 4 weeks for a new one to be sent :( well that's just great, the scrap mans coming for my old one Thursday and I swapped the insurance over yesterday with an admin fee of £25 toboot, can't afford to change it again twice so I may be without a car *wails* but then again, she may find it......fingers are crossed that she does lol

    THEN OH decided to shout at me for going on about what I give to the scrap man (log book) I couldn't take it in properly as my mind was elsewhere and he lost his temper, I cried, he sat there, I went and hoovered the stairs in temper lol then I ignored him and went and lied on my bed, and duly fell asleep :o he's gone now which is probably a good job as I'm well annoyed now and would probably rip his head off! (the joys of PMS) :D

    Gonna tackle the list later will update then

    pigpen what new phone have you got?

    Borderlakland sorry to hear about your cat, such awful news, thinking of you all

    Rach, lovely, I love the very 'girly' living room, my partner would have a fit if I painted anything pink, he hates anything girly, no flowers etc allowed!

    Shell - how cute is he, awww

    I drove the car, DP was in so I was very nervous and he was saying things like 'change gear' etc which wound me up, but I managed it. Bless my neighbour (nice one) he seems upset we're moving, said he's going to call estate agents and pretend he's us to say we're no longer interested.

    Going to do half hour challenge myself then collect DS2 from school, not much done on assignment but will do more tonight.
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    Just checked my emails and bunk beds only dispatched today! grrr she told me Tuesday delivery on phone, no that they will get built until the weekend anyway but all that dashing for nothing.

    Borderlakeland - sorry to hear your sad news, sending you a big hug!

    Nicki I have trouble with one game of scrabble, whenever me and DH play we both end up with rubbish letters and struggle to make 5 letter words let alone anything longer!

    Just had a couple of rumbles of thunder here and the sky has gone that weird colour, temperature dropped a few degrees and that eerie silence thing is going on. Best get DD1 waterproofs and wellies out for when I collect her from school, guess that means me getting soaked again. Tonights job will be ordering a new waterproof jacket and bottoms - anyone recommend a brand? Dont want to spends hundreds but may as well get the best quality as I think they will get plenty of use!

    Right must finish my cuppa and pop to shop before collecting DD1, will stick DD2 in her buggy as she looks shattered but then if you get up at 5.30am only to be expected! Bath and early night all round me thinks.

    HUGS to you borderlakland

    Back just in time for the school run! Coffee and a snacksize bounty first (2 packs for £2 in Morrisons :D)

    Sorted out DH's flowers and added some yellow roses (yellow is his fave colour), done the recycling and bits n bobs from the shop including marmite for DD's crumpets. Bought the HUGE jar, will last months and months lol also got some body puffs on offer (of course ;) ) for the Christmas baskets and fulled the car up so all in all quite a productive trip out. I don't feel so guilty for missing the last couple of 30 min challenges.
