    Pigpen want a cinderella tiara and we can find a prince charming to [strike]shag[/strike] whisk us away [strike]shag[/strike] ?

    Got DS1 from school, he has been fine today, but looks a bit pale and tired so he is not going to swimming as I think it would be too much for him[strike]I can't be bothered[/strike].

    Living room and kitchen are a mess again, but will be left for the bedtime cleaning hour at 7.

    OH home for 6.30 tonight so kids are having some cereal just now as a snack and will put dinner on at 6 but OH better bloomin help me put them to bed!

    Sorry, don't know for definite although I think it does if you don't put the frosting first - it never lasts long enough in this house to need freezing - this is obviously why I've got the problems with my clothes:rolleyes::rotfl:

    So everyone's agreed I should get rid - the only thing is I don't even know if I've got a lead to the computer for my camera - last time i put something on ebay I got my mate to do it for me normally I end up giving everything away. Maybe I should just post it all to pigpen and let her do it for me:D

    We ended up having dinner in Asda so haven't been back long. DH has broken down in his lorry so goodness knows what time he'll be home!

    Going to put the washing in the dryer now and maybe think about doing some ironing - I did say think, I didn't say I'd actually do it.

    Hi all

    Window cleaners have been so I have done all the upstairs windows.

    Emailed a shop about moutain boards for DS2 for christmas

    Sorted box of clothes from the loft so DS3 has clothes again - 2 bags for friend now and a few bits of mini boden to ebay.

    Starting on toys now to find more stuff to ebay. Hope to get a box to do next week when they are back at school.

    Why are my brats playing football in the living room again - I have had enough

    Just had a 15min phone call from sky trying to talk me into taking a stupid extended warranty for £99!! :mad: Said no and they ask 'oh why not?' so I had a rant. 'well, last time you gave my details to a company that bombarded me with letters and phone calls offering me a warranty and I told them to sod off, plus sales of goods act covers it for breakdown within the first few years if you complain enough and I know fine well that as I am not tied in anymore if I call up and say I want to cancel cos kids spilt juice on the box you will give me a new one to keep getting my £36 a month!' Guy was kinda shocked but said goodbye!

    going to do something with some clothes, may just tut at them, may put them away, who knows, taking :coffee: up with me anyway.
  • Good for you taimai - I swear these telephone parasites couldn't spell no, never mind understand it's definition.

    I still get calls from various telephone companies, usually when I'm trying to sleep after nights and boy do they wish they hadn't.

    I usually find that a good way of getting rid of them if you are on the telephone preference service is to ask for their name and contact number so that the telephone ombudsman can ring and have a word -that usually gets rid of them faster than a fart in the open air on a windy day!!!
    I'd rather be watching CSI!

    Brat 5, 6 and 7 aare spreading the duplo from the front room to the backroom.. so I may have to make hubby yell at them when he gets in .. Well.. I have to go out you know!!

    Bed sheets in dryer.. need to swap over laundry in the other dryer and reload the DW for the third time.. I just made lentil paté which is scrummy and I made buns.. that even look like buns!! might even get to ice them before they are scarfed this time.. or I may heat them up, blob jam on the top and add custard/ice cream.. voila.. dessert!! Actaully.. that sounds fab.. I'll do that!!

    OMG!!! Am I getting adventurous in the kitchen???
