    Looks like I'm back.. I sorted my last post.. it all went mad .. my server has been down all day and made my post unreadbale.. never mind.. all fixed by the look of it.

    I've spoken to DD3's teacher about some of the little treasures in her class who keep hitting DD3.. I will NOT have my daughter bullied .. it was bad enoguh when it happened to DS2.. but if I have to speak to the children and parents myself.. I will!!! I am just really shy.. *guffaw* .. and need to pluck up courage..

    Right.. school run number 3.. hopefully the server will still be working when I get back and I'll have my days worth of catching up to do.. I have done absolutely nothing because I didn't have you all breathing down my neck.

    LG.. Good girl doing your HHE.. I can't do mine today.. I've high impacted my knee yesterday I think so it'll have to wait until tomorrow! I got my new DVD as well so I'll give that a bash.. should be fun!

    Serena.. I think they should swap teenagers homes round once they get to 13 they should go live with someone else.. they are always lovely for other people!! Mine is curently under threat of being expelled from school.. he finishes in May anyway.. little [EMAIL="tw@t"]!!!!!![/EMAIL] was accomplice to another 'little treasure' who decided it would be a laugh to nick another boys PSP.. so I am TRYING to get to speak to the member of staff dealing with it and they are not returning my calls.. they have until 3pm.. then I am calling and demanding to speak to the head!

    Oh pigpen will take dd2 weeing on the floor over your probs anyday:D (meant in the nicest possible way). I dread the having to sort out bullying stuff etc. I get so emotional and dont like confrontations.

    Did HHI - so load out of tumbler ironed and put away, undies sorted and put away too. DD2 seems to have a cold coming out so calpol been in and she was snuggled under blankie on the couch, was hoping she would nod off but was happy sitting still watching Max and Ruby.

    Just about to leave to collect DD1 from school. Will have a shower and wash my hair when I get in so it has chance to dry so I can straighten it tonight - I look like a wild woman at the mo and I just dont have the energy to BE wild anymore:rotfl: .

    Rach - I hope you have an absolutely fabulous day on Saturday - what time is the big event, just so we can send fair weather flylady vibes your way. You have worked so hard with all the arrangements just relax and cherish every moment of your big day:D :beer: :D .

    Tracyg - glad all is well, still not heard from embb though!

    GnB - thats excellent news!

    Just finished work and caught up on the thread and now i'm going to be late picking up the children! Better run! I'm going to set myself a challenge to get the money together for a new roof so I'll be putting that in my signature later. Scary though. Hugs to all xx

    Must be the day for servers going down, mine was off until about 2pm. I had so much to catch up with on here, I can't remember who said what but best wishes to all anyway.

    Two loads of washing done, including my bedding, and draped round indoors.

    Bed remade and level 3 done. I sorted through all the drawers in the chest and the middle topbox of the wardrobe where DH's jumpers are kept. I've got a bag full of stuff that has holes or is generally past it and I've hidden it in the shed until recycling day otherwise DH will try and retrieve stuff. If he doesn't see it he won't notice it's gone. I didn't have much to chuck because I don't own much, just a couple of pairs of holey socks.

    I also dusted the living room and vacuumed through downstairs.

    Went to the post office to send a packet and paid the paper bill while I was there.

    And I didn't cry when I eventually put the computer on and the internet wasn't working. *is proud*.
