Hmm... The chicken noodle soup is a bit disappointing, pretty bland Its my first time doing this recipe, i hate it when things arent quite how you imagine them. I chucked aload of tabasco in mine to liven it up and its a bit better:o

Thank you all for being so welcoming and for explaining how to do the strike thingummyjiggy, I must admit I had no idea what that button did . I will use it tomorrow, but since I have only done level one today seems a bit of a waste to paste it all out again just to cross out one line

Stair clips Pigpen - I am green with envy! Have you seen how much original stair rods go for on e-bay?

Nothing at all done yet today. Work and now tired, bored and fed up. DH has man flu yet again :rolleyes: .

I must make myself get up and do something even if it is just make dinner for the children. Have to do WM and ironing or no-one is going to work or school tomorrow.

ok...I've never copied the list and crossed it off....can someone tell me how to do it....please...?

ok I will try and explain (not got with words) Go to the first page and select what you want thn cut and paste it onto a post reply. Then GO ADVANCED. this will then give you the option to STRIKE out words it is a [STRIKE]S[/STRIKE] with a line through it. At the very end of the line of instruction HTH. If not I am sure someone will come and explain it better than me.

Wow I explained it so well :rolleyes: you have done it before I even posted

Soappie sounds great fun with Operation Orf. I would have thought that Mudbath would have been asking Pigpen for nuts not dog biscuits seeing as she is a squirrel.

Made dinner for kiddies, bacon and fried eggs with milk bread DS1's choice. Though I can't say anything while eating smoked makrel and red pepper...

Anchor boys in 20mins for DS1.

Someone force me to go to the GP Monday or Tuesday while hubby is off work, I'm having baldder spasms really bad, been putting it off for weeks but I need to go, I'm just too feart! but it HURTS!!

anchor boys in 15mins.. better go get his shirt

Mudbath

Well obviously:rolleyes: i'm a squirrel that also does undercover operations as a dog. Actually, I can also do armadillo, zebra and ostrich at a push.

{ok, i'm going totally mad now!}

Still have too many children and not a big enough car. Might have to take DS to the meeting tonight even though we were told not to take younger children. Needs must!

Have let the kids have a bounce on the trampoline for 15 mins while I got the washing in (I had to have a bounce too!:rolleyes: ). Spuds on just gonna put the porksteak on to cook slowly.

Am feeling depressed now as have 2 baskets full of ironing, well am hoping it may just be one by the time all the undies etc are pulled out.

Backs aching abit. Not sure if its just from mowing the lawn or dragging the trampoline so I could mow under it, maybe a glass of red would loosen it back up:D .

Just ordered about 4 suits from M&S via quidco:money: so £300 spent for interview suit. No really at least 3 will be going back, plus there was a lovely handbag in that too (maybe a mummy day present;) , oh and a necklace:o ). M&S and quidco is a bit bonkers though, you seem to get the full cashback even if you send stuff back but am not complaining:money: .

DD1 just knocked milkshake over - thank goodness I only gave her 1/3rd of a beaker. Arghhh!!!
