    lovely pigpen - put mine to shame! It is quiet on here tonight! Don't all get too chatty when I go off to bed at 10 as then I can't do any flying for catching up!

    So far this evening - I have taken kids to my mums for tea - very Money Saving! Ironed for 30 mins, and erm spent 2 hours on here surfing and wasting time!!

    pigpen love the nails in the days when I was single and def before kids and had time on a sunday night I used to do my nails for the week, now adays they are lucky to get cut once a month.
    dusty thats the reason why I don't have cats I am terrified of mice, we occasionally get them in the walls and then up into the attic as soon as I hear them scratching the floorboards I call out my friendly poisoner (sorry not ideal but i really can't stand them)

    re verruccas and bananas it does work but you have to continuously have the banana skin attached to the verrucca for 6 weeks apparently the idea came from aussie land I have some instructions somewhere which the practice nurse gave me to try on dd1 as yet we haven't managed to full 6 weeks hence why she still has a verrucca.

    Re flying not managed much today I did post earlier but haven't crossed everything off will pick up tomorrow, aiming for a busy day /night OH off the london tomorrow until friday so planning on keeping myself busy I do enjoy the peace for one night but not good at being in the house on my own.

    Going to watch martins programme now I remembered to tape it earlier, will catch up with everyone in the morning.
    night night

    ps I am 36, 37 in two weeks.

    I posted tomorrows stuff as some have seen, sorry was a quick dash on after football, brrr! DPs gone and done his ankle in again, his card was declined at the petrol station because a company has took £300 instead of £80 off his card (just found out when called bank so have to phone them tomorrow) this added to the Argos order being put through twice by them (another £200) means they refused it, so had to walk back to his friend's when his ankle went. It's like a balloon again :( so be no help from him for weeks and looking more likely he'll need surgery to fix it, best get my moneysaving head on because operation means no work....no work means no pay.

    Dinner done and eaten, dishwasher filled up and set away. Washer only half full (have started doing the Flylady way of putting darks straight in, see if that helps me keep up with it) so that can wait, kitchen sort of tidy but will finish in a mo, then just the pack ups to do as kids clothes for tomorrow already sorted.

    Must remember to phone the school, DS2 has a dentist appointment aswell as DP which I forgot about, going to be fun trying to get him up the stairs in there.....he's been doing 'bum shuffle' to go to the loo.
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    eek lil_me.. it never just rains in your house does it?

    I'd be yelling down the phone about that as well.. not much difference between £300 and £80 is there!!!

    jjef.. I go have mine done on a Friday :D

    jjeff thanks for that - a friend told me to use absolutely black banana skins. I googled it and on all the links it said take it off in the morning and put a new piece on at night. surly it would start to rot if you left the same bit on - maybe that is how it works - it rots it away.

    Second glass of bubbly here, don't feel like ironing now - will do that tomorrow in the day.

    Pigpen we were just saying, 'Just as everything was starting to go right' we know something will jump up and bite us on the a*se. The Argos order was for his cross trainer he's ordered 'because my ankle is better' jinxed it didn't he. Last time he'd just took out gym membership when it went, then it cost us £17 a month for it and he couldn't use it. This seemed a more sensible option, suppose it will be there once he's better, again. :rotfl: I doubt he'll leave his phone at home again, must be the first time in years he has and then all that happens at the petrol station etc (I did tell him he should have just took the car and gone back to pay!).

    Will be spending lots of time on the phone tomorrow sorting the mess out with the card payments, poor dog is petrified as DP has had to get his crutches out and he's scared of walking sticks because his original owner used to hit him with one. Everytime DP even moves near them he runs away, poor little fella.

    Oh and I burnt my hand on the darn oven :( where is my bed? Just want to give up on today as a bad one and start again tomorrow. Not being able to walk well because of the pain in my leg after my injection of course isn't putting me in the running around as a nursemaid mood DP expects.
