Morning

You all seem to have gone to bed at a reasonable hour last night for a change. Normally you talk through the night - mind you rach is away and she's always up until the early hours!

I should be around most of the day today as I've got to wait in for Virgin again this morning. We had the TV box installed on Thursday and it broke on Sunday and they couldn't come out until today so not impressed.

Right I'm going to strip my bed - I'll catch you all later - When you're awake!

Julie.. I just got all engrossed making a chocolate loaf to take to my nail technician this morning and having to set the timer so it was cooked this morning and I didn't have to get up at 3am to sort it.. Then DS1 was being a kn0b as usual and winding hubby up saying he was thinking of joining the army.. yeah yeah was my reply.. and hubby being a moron went overboard and they ended up yelling at each other until midnight.. I went and sat on my bed and repainted my toenails!! I swear those 2 are total f***wits on a good day and DS1 had had a drink and he just gets argumentative and stupid and hubby takes the bait EVERY single time.

My little sis has her driving test at 10 this morning.. fingers crossed she passes this time!!!

Raphael .. DON'T!!! they are really not that good.. could they not handle it if you put them on just a 'rinse' with a tiny bit of wash powder in the drum.. quick swish round then fabric conditioner and spin as normal.. it would be like one less rinse but they would have more water to rinse in? Do you not have a 30 minute wash?

My hubby has loads of light shirts and there is all the childrens undies so I don't have too much of a problem in here!

Morning all - you have the pleasure of my company all day today.

Hope all is well. I just have to take littlest to school and then I am flying. As I have not done any since Tuesday I think it might have to be the Dusty 30 minutes in each room to get anywhere. Will do list with a cuppa when I get back - lovely and clear out there but looks chillly - I will have to peddal fast.

Morning everyone,
Managed to get through day long presentation yesterday.
I'm not sure the house did, though.

So today its:
S&S kitchen
bathroom
hoover through
lots and lots of washing
general tidy and put away everyone's stuff that they've left lying around..

I also have to ring builder people and kick butt...

OK, going to put the kettle on, get some breakfast and make a start....

Virgin have already been and put a new box on so TV is now working again.

But DD has come out in a rash on her face and feet of all places so I'm taking her to see the nurse later to get it checked out. Probably viral after this cough and cold she's had for the last 2 weeks but can't really send her to school until I know for sure especially seeing as one of the teachers in her year is pregnant. It's the last day before half-term as well - there's teacher training tomorrow - so that's really messed my plans up for today.
