On top of this I have cleared a couple of hotspots and put stuff at the bottom of the stairs for DrDragon to take upstairs (crutches, items and stairs are not a good combination!)

And that makes a difference.. how? Do they not have loos at work? Saved money on your loo roll as well!! :rotfl: :rotfl: AND had a bag of 'spares' in the car!

Give them time.. they may have been away for the weekend.. or be ill.. send a nice email asking if all is ok and if they have changed their mind could they please let you know so you can offer it to someone else.. and the the mutually agree not to complete the transaction and get your fees back!!

He's a bus driver! He can sometimes have over an hour to wait till he can get to a loo.

May email them again.

Animals collected.. one down as she has bugled off to her friends for tea. They have not been the best on the way home and have been told off about 16,000 times already!

i'm in. Going to try my best to do everything, by the way this is my first post, so if i do something wrong, apologies, i dont want to annoy anybody.

:hello: Dont worry, we're not easily annoyed! Its a fairly laidback bunch here, dont knock yourself out doing everything. I dont do up to level 3 very often and my house is still a million times better than it was before i started on this thread.
If you do want to do everything, then enjoy your sparkly clean house, you'll deserve it!

pigpen

WOW.. we have 3 new cats this week.. cat lover, luthercat and catralense..

turning into bit of a menagerie in here.. pigs, gibbons, cats, and a mouse!

He does work for stagecoach! :rotfl::rotfl:

Any grapes? I like grapes with my :coffee:

I should go do my kitchen instead of bickering on another thread about my reversing skills... :rotfl:

And I have washing to do too.

I'm just jealous of your ebay prowess.. so I will tell you that hubby has not said no to my new boots in days which means, I will be getting them next week! :T

pigpen

no.. I didn't buy grapes.. I eat them and they give me belly ache!

Is he a right miserable!!!!!! then like our stagecoach drivers? PMSL!! (I usually call it cockroach because they are manky buses and the drivers are all called Edgar.. have you seen Men in Black? The cockroach men??) The east yorkshire drivers are great.. but the others are right narks. I think it is the company.. not just the fact all the buses I get on go to the crumby estates and are always full of 'classy people'

As for new boots/shoes.. I don't ask!! BUT the red boots I am 'watching' he is quite impressed with and just said.. have you bought those yet? :eek:

Just updated my 'spending diary' it only includes groceries so I have a proper idea how much I spend on food etc each month.. I was aiming at £150 a week.. I am up to £106 and that's just today!!! Day 1!!!! and I have another £100ish tesco order coming on Wednesday!!.. Payday on Thursday though so I get to pay off some dweebs and change my siggy strip for the better!!

I need to set up a bill payment for Scottish Power as well.. I'll do that in a second.. after I've made a cuppa and been to loo!!

Mudbath

Jeez i've so much left to do but they're hopefully quick things.

Just about to do the badminton run so will pop out to car now and get fill a bag with rubbish. When I come home i've an hour before DD comes home to do the cleaning. My friends wants to do the footy pick up as well as taking them. I'm not used to letting others do it all so it's hard but it will help me out as I need to take DH to the airport. He's back Thursday this week and has Friday off so that's good. Right, next time i'm on i'll hopefully tick the rest of the list off. I'm struggling big time today just due to lack of time! Will get there though and then it'll be really worth it.

Catch you all later xx

Well the rubbish that eventually went to the tip was 4 bin bags full, inc broken toys, boxes from toys, general junk etc etc then of course the cardboard, old car batteries and some engine oil. All done now I really believe in recycling but makes me sick seeing the people who work at the tip rummaging through bags, especially when like today the lad split one open and it was just poopy nappies, gosh that hummed!

DS1 & 2 in the garden playing now, don't know how long for as DS2 is in 'on my own' mood and DS1 is in 'bug my brother' mood :rotfl: WW3 soon I think. DP didn't end up doing the car because he got a call to say her royal twisty pants (his mother) is on her way back and needed collecting, so as usual he drops everything. He's been waiting for over an hour at the airport now because of delays. Oh we're in for fun again with her being back, always causes arguements.

Right, anyway, I'm going to post tomorrows list now, incase we do what we had planned (and she doesn't spoil that to) and are out later. Ah spending diary, forgot my GC finishes today and I haven't added last nights 'birthday tea' yet, thanks for the reminder!

On the potty training side, We've done really well. A few very small dribble accidents, but thats not bad at all. He even sat on and did a poo... I'm really proud of him, more so because i'm having problems with DS2 wetting himself and he's very nearly 5.:mad: I've tried everything to get him out of it and i don't know what to do next.

Sorry rant over.
