    Well I hadn't cried for almost two hours until I came on here and you got me big time with all your loveliness :D *blows nose* Thank You everyone, I don't know what I'd do without you all :kisses3: This will be the third time we've split now, but think it's most definitely for keeps this time *sniff* MIL says he'll be back within 2 months max LOL.... forever the optimist.

    Littley's staying at MIL's till tomorrow I'm just in no fit state to look after her properly at the moment and it's not fair on her, she loves going anyway and will have lots of fun and be spoilt. Gonna grab me a hot bubbly bath then watch that new Big Brother thing with DD1 later tonight, I've had nothing to eat either, my stomach's growling but can't really face anything.

    pigpen that sounds awful - (((((((getbettersoonhugs)))))) and to everyone else that's poorly (((((((hugs)))))))

    flying wise: nada, niente,zilch! cleared the upstairs landing cause I was fed up of tripping over all the crap, made 2 beds and that's it, oh and it's been snowing on and off all day here, brrrrrrrr.

    The site keeps crashing and I have to keep re-starting the router so not doing to well at reading back posts. Hugs to embb and maralum though.

    Cunning Plan Number 1.

    Put DVD on for kids and provide pop corn and crisps as a snack to keep them quiet while you scrub the kitchen (inc.move tins of sweets to store and find homes for occupants of 'no-home corner'.)

    Result.

    Pop corn fight that takes you half an hour to sort out, and even at that you decide to leave some of it till tomorrow as Friday is 'Kids Bedroom day'.

    Cunning Plan Number 2.

    Plug in the hoover to two extension cords and hoover car.

    Result.

    It's still not long enough and your too scared to try reversing the car up the back because last time Neighbor told Husband and they laughed and made comments about 'How did you pass your test?'.

    Cunning Plan Number 3.

    Take black bags of rubbish out to the car ready to take to the dump.

    Result.

    It starts to snow and you just can't be !!!!!! moving the buggy to move bags to move the buggy again and move more bags and hoover where the bags were.

    Cunning Plan Number 4.

    Make healthy family dinner of cumberland sausage, mash, veg and gravy.

    Result.

    Back-ache after hoovering up pop corn and decide on 'freezer meal' instead.

    Cunning Plan Number 5.

    Survive the Madness Of Dinner Time.

    Result.

    Explain to children that they will not be getting a bath tonight as mummy is scared she will just drown them on purpose. And yes, I can drown you in Gelly Baff, even if it is Blue Goo.

    I Give Up Plan Number 1.

    Decide if you took painkillers four hours ago or four minuets ago and wonder if you care, while a tiny voice asks if you can become addicted to paracetamol, aspirin and added caffeine.

    Result.

    ....Do I Care...and heh, your Christmas tree is still up.

    Dustykitten - this is what I have to look after in the back garden so you can see why I keep slipping with the cleaning.
