Thanks AnW'sMum and embb for pudding ideas......of course if I had bothered to read my own posts I would have remembered that there is yogurt draining for fromage frais in the fridge :o:o ....will let it drain until last minute then add some damson puree I have in the fridge ... (OH thinks he doesn't like damsons but he eats them oh so often!!!:D)

Does anyone want a spare 5 year old less than Darling daughter? :mad:

Why do i try to nice things for her, apparently I dont love or like her, I am always horrible to her and she thinks I am a stupid stinky:rolleyes: , and the reason for this outburst she tried the ballet shoes on that I got this morning and they didnt fit so I took her back to shop to get right size, got home and she took her socks off and put them on then complained they were slipping off. All i said was put your socks back on they wont slip so much and then later I can sew the elastic bit in. I am evil, evil I tell you:rotfl: . I hate it when they go back to school after the holidays it takes her a while to get back into the flow, I know she is tired but arghhhh!!!!

Right, veggies all prepped, NO ironing done played tickle with DD2 instead - listening to her giggle was much nicer than hearing the iron hiss at me.

Shell that scenario sounds very familiar, had the same behaviour off littley when she first started dancing lol I may have some dance/ballet stuff you can have if I can prise it off littley, she's outgrown them but insists on still wearing the pink tutu and prancing about even though it's 2 sizes too small for her, don't know how she doesn't do herself an injury :rolleyes:

Taurus - and if I didn't have the memory of a goldfish I could have told you that's what you'd planned doh!

Shell - I remember being a smelly poo when my daughter was five. She's 8 now and, this week, I'm passable. Saying that, I said they could both take a toy to my mum's tonight. She had NOTHING to take (said whilst throwing herself on the banisters with her arm against her forehead). Drama queen. I mean my poor child has a room with nothing in it, she didn't get a shed load of stuff for Christmas - I am such a mean mum!

Edited to add Mini list:
1) Send all thankyou cards from christmas!
2) Pick up pressie for DS from friend
3) Give bathroom a quick swipe as it's totally yuck!
4) Vaccuum upstairs
5) Pick up children from mums (or should I leave this one till later in the week!)

Embb go for it, you deserve a break

LJD you can cross off item 1 on your list as according to your DD she didn't get anything therefore nothing to thank for! :rotfl:

Nipped out and got the boots for A and also some new school shirts and a cub fleece from Sainbugs. Spag bol on the go here, will watch neighbours (sad I know!) while we eat.

You've just saved me around £200 smackeroonies. I never thought I'd be so pleased to be able to use a Dyson! It is all upright again, thanks to your superb instructions and has just been taken on a celebratory lap around the sofa, armchairs and carpet.

Bless you!
