    I found carrots and swede and parsnoops so they'll do..

    MY house is a pit!!! I only spent 21 day doing nothing and it has devolved into squalor!! As much as I love my children part of me is really looking forward to them being big and not having to tidy their mess!! But I know when I get there I'll really miss it!!

    I've peeled 3lb of pickling onions as well!! I have a sack of 15kg to do next! lol.. my hubby thinks I am loopy..

    £30 so far on ebay.. *fling*!!!

    Why is it that when I want a favour nobody can bother their a$$ and yet I'm the first to offer/be asked for my time/car whatever?!? It really annoys me, I hate being treated differently to how I treat them I need a big sticker for my forehead with sucker on it!! :mad: I'm really cheesed off.....:mad:

    Got the tea in the oven/done all my dailies/washed and dried and folded the uniforms/hoovered right through the house/been and 'looked at' OH's work he's done in the loft/made a weeks menu plan/made a shopping list/sorted out a pile of junk/am about to empty my spare room to get it ready to change over to the master bedroom/play nitty-nora to DD2/aswell as see to her and her friends.

    Think I should just stick a brush up my jacksy whilst I'm at it!

    and nobody gives a fig!

    :( :mad: :(

    How's everyone elses day going? :D

    Awww Thanks scaredy :kisses3: , I just needed to vent, it's all to do with this bloomin' car I've yet to get. No-one is willing to take me down for it when they said they would, so now I've got to get a flippin bus and have a hike of approx 3 mile to and from the garage/P.O then back to the garage, and all OH had to do was say yes I'll take you down after so and so, but he thinks it's ok for me to do all that inbetween everything else. I take him all over the flippin place!!!! I'll remember that :mad: It would take 30 minutes tops in his van but now it's gonna take most of the morning. I'm so mad I've given myself a headache :(

    Sorry guys :o

    I need to clam down, I've got such a temper when I start :o

    Glad you've got some of your essay done scaredy :)

    pigpen that's a whopping amount of onions - good for you :T
