Kaz - i'm sorry I didn't read the posts earlier. Hugs to you. Thinking of you xx

Dusty - there I was scraping my stair carpet and getting 6 dogs, 3 cats and 24 guinea pigs worth of hair up not to mention 15 bodies full of shed skin and i'm thinking I bet dusty is enjoying herself more than this!! You and be both getting fed up but you can't leave as you'd miss my fasinating wit, my inteligence, my humour and you'd miss pigpen's.......ok, you won't miss her!:rotfl: Answer to the toys....get rid...they don't notice!

To everyone who was affected by the quake, hope your OK and that any damage will be sorted cheaply and quickly!

Pigpen, the bunnies sound lovely! The teacher at your school sounds like an old hag, wait till you do have PMT then go see her! And video it for us to see!

I've done very little, actually, I have done nothing. No motivation during teh day and what's the point anyway? usually start after collecting them from school when they are hyper. Let them run about like mad and I lock myself in one room and clean to stop myself from yelling at them!

DS2 still coughing like mad so will dose him with more drugs about 4pm and he shoudl be fine.

Dog-bot is a bit quiet, and there was a dog sent home from kennels with what may have been kennel cough so of course I am over-reacting!

Mum and Dad are helping with a stall at their local gala day this year for the Husky Rescue and have asked me to blag/beg for some free stuff for prizes. One of the sled teams are going to be going along, sounds like fun! 9 huskies and the public, woot-woot!

Got my Debenhams voucher from quidco yesterday, that's my Mum's mothers day present sorted then!

YOU feel better whe it is tidy.. how do you feel looking at it when it is messy? you don't want people coming over, it just makes you depressed when it is messy.. it is so overwhelming.. but you know how lovely it is when it is tidy and how lovely it is when people ring say they'll be htere in 5 minutes and you have to run around like a loon.. you can do this.. you can stay on this waggon.. we will tie you to the side for a bit..

Here, did I mention that DH's mate thinks we live in a show home???!!!! LOL!!!

Housework is a boring and never-ending job. A bit like painting the Forth Bridge - when you have finished it you have to start at the beginning again.

OK, I took longer than expected, but DH got a phone call and so I delayed hoovering, but thats overheated now so I'm having a cuppa.
I've managed everything on my short list, just have to finish hoovering when its cooled down....
I should probably think of a few more things to do...but I'm having a brain block....

I'm better at housework when I don't get enough sex. Is it just me??

10mins till the school run begins. But at leats I get to sneak to my Mum and Dad's and go 'la la la, my house is fine... fine honestly!'

No, I jest it's a disaster, hubby is out till 9pm tonoght so if I am on here, you must promise to kick my bum! I plan on doing loads from 7pm-9pm.

Also, no ironing, I haven't got a new board yet.

Yep, its just you....
Personally I can't concentrate on anything if I haven't had sex and if I don't get it every day I get a bit twitchy...;)
