Oh pigpen what a nightmare, that is way too long. I'm pleased DPs Mother has sent some out for the boys (she only paid £120 for 2) DP has talked her into them being from her for Christmas aswell, saved me a fortune. Just got them some games to go with it on Wendesday in gamestation, 2 for £20

Oh Poison is on now, I can't go out before drooling over Bret Michaels, I had posters of him all over my room when I was a teen..

He's not that short lil_me he's 5ft9. Or you could have Mr Sambora at 6ft??
And pigpen i would have claimed long ago, thats about 7 weeks!!! How long do you get to claim?

lil_me

My Dad used to comment when I had a life size poster of him on my bedroom door that he was 'such a shortarse' :rotfl: Richie Sambora, nah, well, maybe DP made me feel even worse when he said if there had been a date when it was on near us he'd have got me tickets. Bret Michaels's in on tele tonight I think on VH1, 10pm, Rock Of Love, might have to have a nosey, he's still not too bad looking now even if he is 44.

Right, I'm going out before I end up just watching VH1 until it's time to get DS2 and end up doing nothing! Maybe after Guns n Roses....

Am back I managed to

Mop porch and bathroom floors
S & S kitchen
Empty bins
Hoover through
Sort cbeebies out about 20 times for littley:rolleyes:
General put stuff back where it belongs

House looks clean and tidy so thats good - I hate mess!

I am being a right moody mare this morning - just tired I guess but I hate feeling like this. So now that the tidying is done I guess that means I should tackle the baking, or do I have a shower and wash my hair first. Oh God! I have got work this weekend too - now I am depressed:o .

Ebay - I had someone bid for something 3 weeks ago and still not paid. I contacted them and said if they no longer wanted the item to let me know and it wasnt a problem. Got a reply "no, will be paying into your bank on Monday" Hubby checked everynight this week and nothing (more annoyed they have not contacted me to say anything) so filed a non payment thing so I can claim the fees back. :mad:

I need to sit down this weekend and work out what food I need for DD1's family birthday party and christmas/boxing day when the family come over. Best sort through the freezer too.

Its silly season on ebay right now! Just go over to the ebay forum and everyones having a nightmare. I got my first ever neg recently basically for refusing to sell for less than final auction price!:mad:

4 more xmas pressies sorted from play via quidco, so i have added to our total. I really need to sit and make a list of everything that i have bought as i am starting to get a bit confused - disadvantage of a large family.

anyway, still messing around really so need to go and tackle something more constructive or i will be here all day. I really don't feel like it though as i can barely breathe.

Michelle, x
