JillD... bosch bosch bosch bosch bosch bosch or maybe a bosch one.......... Mine is absofloopinglutley fanfloofingtastic.. one of my best kitchen purchases.. it is used 2-4 times a DAY and has needed 1 repair EVER.. when it was filled with grease because I'm a pig and never washed it out. Before this we had a hotpoint one which was totally rubbish.. never washed anything properly. this one is easy to fill with salt/rinse aid/tablets, the shelves are senibly laid out so it is easy to get the pots in. Have its praises now been sung high enough?

I have just booked to take ALL the children out tomorrow for dinner. with my mother, stepdad 2 sisters and one OH (14 in total as DS1 is working) for mothers day/DS3's birthday (he is 9 on Tuesday).. should be fun if nothing else! I am stressed already!!!!!!!

HHC anyone??? I can whizz through the front room in that time.

2-2:30pm?

I din't have to do the school run today as hubby is going because it is the mothers day fair.. .. save me a trip and means Tiddles can stay in bed it also gives me an extra 45minutes before dinner to muck out.. actually.. best get a loaf in to go with our hotpot!

My nails are looking glam.. my nose thinks it is a tap.. You'll like this one.. you know I was thinking of going to college after summer to learn something useful.. well.. I have always been interested in and good at (don't laugh!!) biology.. yeah yeah.. heard it all before and some.. you aren't funny lol.. anyway.. I was thinking maybe the medical foundation? and go onto being a GP? or something.. ?? .. would that be WAY too over ambitious.. I would be 42 before I was fully qualified!! at least that!! Just doing a biology degree just feels to me like a pathway to teaching and I REALLY REALLY don't want to do that.. I have utter respect for those who can tolerate a room full of oiks all day long.. personally I'd shoot them

pigpen- don't let age put you of retuning to education, i'm of to uni in september and will be about 43 by the time i finish, go and see what your local has college has to offer or give learn direct a bell. teaching dosent mean you have to teach oiks, you could teach adults thats what i'm thinking of doing after uni. i don't think you wanting to be a GP is to ambitious. just go for it girl.

HHC at 2-2.30?? I'm in, I need to do something! But I am really sore now, not constant just irritating electric shocks, phoned GP and she said what I knew she would 'drink 8-10 glasses of water, no caffine (ha! I can have 2 coffees per day) and come in on Monday, if it gets worse bla bola bla'.

OK, I plan, dishes, S&S kitchen and sort through Mount Iron-more.

Pigpen - another go for it vote. Don't take this the wrong way (I mean this positively) but have you thought about midwifery? I really want to do an LLM in employment law but am too much of a wuss to commit to the time it needs (and the:eek: cost) so last year I dithered till I missed the enrolment date . In September both boys will be in school and I will have more time, my reduced working hours make the £ more of an issue though.....

JillD - I would also go for the Bosch, and wil never buy Zanussi again.

DS2 and I have just finished the top floor. Before it really started to rain we shifted yet more manure so I need a shower before the school run.

Kimberley - is the new oven a gas hob and electric oven. I thought they only did those high numbers on electric but like you say, they've probably changed things.

It's gas hob and a gas oven, it defo is gas because i can hear it when i turn the oven hob. It's so confusing, i prefer the old 123456 etc

Thank you Craftyscholar for these
Gas Mark Celsius Fahrenheit
1 140 275
2 150 300
3 160 325
4 180 350
5 190 375
6 200 400
7 220 425
8 230 450

What are the two numbers? Like 140 275?

Stopped sorting now to give me 30mins to get ready for school run.

Bags and post-its everywhere :rotfl: but DH kindly phoned round all the local womens aid places for me and found one that had room for clothes/books/toys etc so since all the little people are in school on Monday I can deliver the bags and boxes then (and maybe again on Thurday too)

Shoulder ache has now turned into neck/shoulder and occasional shooting pain down arm ache - I am almost 100% certain lo will be fast asleep by the time we get to school...

I would agree about bosch DW - ours was here when we moved in - we have been here 2 years and had no probs with it (and it is really quiet too - the most noise you hear is when the tablet drops) Previous one was an Indesit and I think was delivered faulty :rolleyes:

MIL not feeling up to having the troops over tonight, so once they are in bed I can carry on "sorting" and make sure we are all set for the party-fest this weekend.

Painkillers > shoes > refit lo's car seat into my car > go, go,go!

No.. and I don't intend to.. I have had VERY negative births with most of mine and my experiences would colour how I treat others and I can't do that.. I couldn't sit there watching others going through what I did knowing nothing ever changes.. BUT.. I could sit there and say yes you are over-reacting and no I will not prescribe antibiotics for a virus because they make you susceptible to more illnesses and do nothing for a virus. I think I would make a great GP.. I don't care if I broke every rule for the management team.. I'd do what I thought was best.. not what the trust wanted.. I'd also stand up and be counted when it came to change.

I would draw the line at a viagra pen holder which my GP has!!! lol .. keeps the lead from breaking in your pencil!!
