    Dizzy, no smiling here. Honest. :cheesy:

    Mumof2 £400 sounds like a good help for you, glad you checked it out. Some of these things are hard to backdate so I'd get the claim in.

    GUAG - could do with that whoever was offering! Tired from work but need to do a big tidy in every room - mainly moving things from one room to another - why does everything end up in the wrong place? Going to make a good effort... in 5 mins...

    Sorry Dizzy - I did laugh - you painted such a picture...tell me when you write the book - I promise I'll buy a copy!
    (In my defence laughs have been few and far between...)

    Teaching 'the possessive apostrophe'. P. decides 'she doesn't get it'. Mrs. Valli decides to help her.
    She has to put an apostrophe in the phrase 'the horses head'.
    "How many horses have heads?" I helpfully prompt.
    "All of them" replies P.

    I laughed then, too.

    Morning all.
    Dizzy, sorry but I laughed too. Should be made into a film.

    Up early today to get DH to hospital for more invasive treatment. He's really suffering now.

    Me and the dogs are fed so I'll wash the dishes before getting DH out of bed. I can then get dressed and walk the dogs.

    Have a great day everyone.
    Spend less now, work less later.

    Morning all :)

    Up since 5.15, so the kitchen is spotless, WM and DW chugging away and everyone fed. DH dispatched to work. DS has shared his sore throat with me so I'm just nursing a hot cuppa.

    The forecast today was for full sun but it's drizzling at the moment - hope it dries up as I want to peg out again :D

    Dizzy - have you been given a date when you'll be back in the house? I bet you can't wait now. You are so stoic I'm in awe xx

    Right going to browse for ten minutes then get kiddies ready xx
    MFW :)

    Great! I am glad today is the lounge! Mine is looking a bit shabby but not too bad. Cobwebs!...I have noticed recently I seem to be aiming for a haunted house style - I have so many! Thanks for the list!
