Found it!

you will never guess where they thought to put it?

UNDER the carpet bit in the passenger foot well! Only reason I noticed it was i saw the carpet poking up and i went to tuck it back, felt a lever, pulled it (as you do) and wehey a click!

Go me! Wey-hey-woot-woot! Who's not a poor pathetic girl-pants when it comes to cars? ME!!! haha!

Now maybe after a coffee I can do some cleaning?

Sorry pigpen, I didn't mean to offend, it was just a joke, but I didn't put the smiley in so it's my fault. I hope it all goes well with the engineer tomorrow.

Peace offering --->

I wasn't offended I just explained why I had to clean my disgusting kitchen.. and it is still only 3/4 done!! I am much to lazy to try getting ahead!!

and I have a mound of clean laundry to fold in the middle of the floor in the back room and both WM's on again.. I feel like Widow Twanky!!!

Hi everyone

I can't believe how much you have all managed to get done today, well done to you all

I have done sweet FA but seeing as we left here at 8.30am and didn't get back in until 4pm it's not all that surprising!

Since we got in we have done W's homework, read some books, had dinner and watchec TopGear (taped from the other week) kids loved that

My Boots order arrived before we left this morning and I am itching to open it and see what I ordered! lol But had to wait til now when the kids are in bed and safely asleep. Spent the best part of the last hour catching up with all you chatty lot

Apologies for not replying to those who have 'done' things to me or written on my wall on facebook. I have not had chance yet to get up to speed with what to do etc but I will reply.

Tomorrow is A's class assembly and I need to make a couple of phone calls and pop out so will not get as much done as I was hoping. Please forgive me, I will catch up ....eventually!!!

lil_me please make sure you give yourself a break and slow down a bit. Like the others say moving is way up there on the stress list and your health/sanity are more important than clutter sorting everything before you move. Sounds like you have made fantastic inroads so far, have a HUG from me. Great news about baby Matthew, sounds like he is made of tough stuff

Hi to all newbies, well hi to you all really. Right can't wait any longer,Boots box here I come. With a juice and a coffee, anyone else?

Solwaykid

Well I chucked the Dyson round for a bit and dusted using the little brush attachment and ...that's my flying for the day..I feel a bit of a fraud but that's my limit tonight.I'm seriously going to bed before 9 as I'm tired out.
Glad I got so much done last week,I spend little enough time at home as it is (how DOES it get untidy then?) and when it's dark by 7pm I can't get going at all. I think hibernation would suit me.
Have a good day tomorrow, catch up then, hopefully I'll be bursting with energy once I'm back in the work groove. Ha!

Evening all

Well for all of those just starting out and wondering how you’re all gonna get it done, don’t worry there is always someone who does a LOT LOT less – me ! Eventually abandoned last weeks list and todays not looking too hopeful either.

OK so what have I been up to. Still got the headache I’ve had for about 4 days now so feeling really sluggish (and DD is now practising recorder :eek: – how I hate that sound). Went in to work yesterday from 1 – 6 and then picked up DD from my mum’s and came home to find OH home from the [STRIKE]SAGA[/STRIKE] Goldwing thing a day early. He decided as it was dry and it was another 217 miles home he would be better off leaving early, so that was a nice surprise. And laddo, bless him, came home from his competition quite upset because he hadn’t done very well and also his mate had hit a deer on the way home and it had made him feel ill _pale_ . I know what he means I hit one doing 50-60mph, wont describe the details but was so lucky there wasn’t a mark on the car! So if you want to hit a deer get a SAAB – joke before you contact the RSPCA !!!!! And as for the iron mountain I was going to tackle last night, I think I managed to scrape the work shirt and school uniform snow off the top of it before falling into bed.

Today been at work all day and very busy. So came in and then spent ½ hour on phone as payment that was scheduled to go from my bank to OH’s last week didn’t and now he’ll probably incur charges! Managed to get a date to go into hosp for investigations in a months time, and spoke to Dr’s who had left a message for me on Friday (no-one told me !!) and now they don’t know what its about, cant tell me if they’ve got my results from Addenbrookes bone scan, blood tests from hospital last week and I need to see the Dr but you cant until 9th Nov when I’ll be in hospital anyway. Uuuuuurrrrrrggh :mad:

Still managed to stick to meal plan and made Toad in the hole which only DS had because DD likes sausage and Yorkshire pudding but not together, OH went to work and I cant eat either the sausage or pud due to the flour. Why do we bother trying to do it properly. BUT I have been sticking to my GF diet religeously for a whole week :T :T

Then [STRIKE]6[/STRIKE] 7 pages to catch up on leaves no time for flying (very very tired and need an early night)

To Danni_r, Tracy04, and divorcing jack – a big welcome

Tiamai_d - I always get someone to fill up the washer bottle (have been known to carry the little drinks bottles with the squirty tops on and squirt out of the window going along when washers run out rather than fill it) and never check oil or tyres

Nicki – Hope you get the post sorted out up there, I’m waiting for a special delivery to be delivered from 3rd and its about reclaiming PPI so it better be soon

Borderlakland – Local hello, see you got the rats then

Divorcingjack – meal planning makes SUCH a huge diff to me as I used to spend an hour when I got in from work saying what shall we have. Now its done and shopped for and the kids get involved in the decision as well

Pigpen, lil_me, Rach, and any of the other regulars that I just cant remember at the mo - Big hellos and thanks for putting up with my rants and complete inability to stuff other than waste flying time on here.

Love you all
Kaz

PS seems like I'm not the only swatted fly tonight

shell2001

Well just listed another 3 items on ebay. Only taken me about an hour:o and that was using turbo lister. Thanks for advice re paypal wrong email address, have figured a way round it have just opened new bank account so can add that for funds to be transferred to;) .

Tea cooked and scoffed (toad in hole, yummy and not had it for ages), kitchen S & S, dog walked, Ebay stuff done so really no excuse not to do some ironing. Hubby has nicked the telly though and is playing his PS3, I do like to have something "rubbish" to watch whilst I iron.

Dont know if you remember me telling you about the issues with the "funny Bones" book and DD1, well today she came home with a book start bag and guess what free book she got:rotfl: , needless to say she was not keen to read that one.

May do ironing tomorrow when littles pain in the bum is at preschool. Kitchen should not take me too long as its wiped down etc everyday, and is about the size of most peoples larder:rotfl: .

Off to look at my powergen account Nicki - lets hope mine is as nice as yours! So nice when its them that owes you money:D

pigpen

Ah Shell.. I'm evens with powergen neither of us owe the other anything!!

I'm going to kick these childrens butts.. the boys have been horrific tonight.. though they were all planted in bed by 7:30pm because I couldn't stand any more!!!

I've got all my ebay stuff parcelled now.. thank f*** .. I HATE that bit.. (yes I normally swear like 3 troopers and a fishwife!)

I've been in my jammies for over an hour.. The BM and the WM's have finished now so I'm off to gather uniforms for tomorrow.. slap a boy and load the TD and WM .. AGAIN!!!

Oh.. I have a heap to fold.. and my ebay pile to restack seeing as I rummaged in it...

pigpen

DD2 was in the boys room as DS2 had nicked all the gameboys.. I swear that child is just.. well... loopy!! The GBA's are now confiscated until further notice and all the lights are off.. DD1 is in bed.. and if she was just pretending her pre-menstrual life will get really dramatic!!!

DS1 isn't home... and he should be.. ggrrr... another one to chew the ears off!!

TD now on again.. uniforms located.. a pile of wet stuff hung on radiators to dry.. need to fold this heap on the floor still.. and hubby can put another loaf in for morning. I have an empty WM to load as well.

Get the kettle on someone!!
