    Well, peace and quiet is about to end - Biggibbon (AKA OH) is due to get back from the Munich beer festival in 10 mins so bang goes my tidy hall and living room.....not to mention the mud i'll probably be scraping off his golf kit before it's wrestled into the WM
    I'd rather be watching CSI!

    likklegibbon-lol can you not just guide him past front room and tidy hall to bedroom?!

    Clarkey-Well done on your list, and congrats! Lucky you getting an early scan, dont panic if you don't see a lot at the 1st scan though. I hope you have a healthy 9 months!

    Have enjoyed my glass of wine, am not looking forward to cleaning the kitchen tommorow(normally dh's domain, he's in the forces and away at the mo) we only had our kitchnen put in in July but I have to say I haven't cleaned to cooker once yet! it was brand new though! So I think it's on my list tommorow!:o :rolleyes:

    Evening everyone, think i may have jumped the gun about the nits but think i'll get the comb and check with it. Was down with my mum and when i mentioned it everyone started to scratch just thinking about it.laughing-smiley-014.gif

    All kinda quite here thank goodness, need to really get this tenancy agreement sorted for thursday.

    Night everyone i'm wrecked and away to bed, sleep well everyone.
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.

    evening all

    am back from my friends after a fab day. was lovely to see my little godson and i was able to get him a few treats - ice cream, ceebeebies mag etc. and i had a great chat with my friend (his mum) in costa coffee for a couple of hours. she has offered to sort activity bags for all the kids for the wedding for me which is fab as she is a great organiser!
