    LG congratulations, agree with the others, your wedding should be your choices. I wouldn't like to even think of how small our wedding would be if we got married because of those I wouldn't invite, who wouldn't go if others were etc.

    How frustrating, DP came in and said 'try this, this then this' to which I replied 'tried it'! Did it again and it worked! So 4 hours later it was what I'd originally tried but must have missed something out or something like that. Anyway problem question now done!!! Stupid **** thing. One to go and some writing conclusions which should take an hour or so then it's done :D So going to do it tomorrow after the school nurse has been on the morning. Arh, school nurse, just remembered about that, suppose I best tidy up a bit before she comes over so she can sit on the sofa rather than on my work/books.

    Swimming tonight, DSs seem to be looking forward to it after having a week off last week. List for tonight I suppose is needed (typing as I think of it so no particular order)

    [strike]Put papers of 'done' work somewhere safe[/strike] all in plastic pouches, see organised, because it's the first one, next ones will have the usual cup rings etc
    [strike] Dinner
    tidy kitchen
    Phone roofing places
    Make DSs packed lunch
    Find swimming stuff, erm, goodness knows where the trunks are
    Get DP to snip the bushes which are sticking out onto the path next to the garden
    Hang washing out which has just finished [/strike]
    Put dry laundry away
    Tidy sitting room
    [strike]Put books somewhere
    Drag uniforms off the boys for the wash
    Take boys swimming
    Rinse bath and sink out
    Close bathroom window
    Remove cups from desk :o and tidy it up a bit (I can still see you so better than usual!)[/strike]
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    Well.. if I'm not included then I'll have to remain undercover in her bush!!!

    I've read everything forgotton who said what so you'll have to find your own reply.. sorry.. (not!!)

    The stair dooberries.. erm.. the local scrap place doesn't sell stuff to people.. they only sell to big companies as they supposedly get more money.. thanks though.. I need 10 more.. I'll find them.. if I have to break in a row of houses and nick them off the stairs!

    Lil_me.. sounds a faff with the programme.. can you complain to the course leaders about it.

    Vanilla and Frankie.. hope the OH's are ok and [strike]in lots of pain[/strike] both ok

    LG.. don't invite anyone you don't love and OH doesn't love.. keeps the costs way way down and you only have there the people who matter to go!! My entire wedding cost £500.

    as for libido.. I've not had any hormone drugs (when I got pg with DD2) for the last 11 years and STILL don't want to play contact sports! I'd rather do my sudoku in bed!!
