    Hi all!
    Well, my wonderful Easter weekend continued last night as DD was sick AGAIN about midnight, not long after finally falling asleep-bless her, it's ever so strange-she hasnt been eating loads but hadnt been ill for about 36 hours??
    We've been out and picked up a carpet cleaner from my friend and the tackled Argos, Boots, Matalan, Pets at Home and then came home for lunch. OH now asleep on sofa, DS almost asleep and not sure what DD is doing-it's VERY quiet upstairs.

    I'm going to tackle the carpet in the breakfast room first, It's minging. Who ever thought it'd be a good idea to put a CREAM carpet down in an eating area I'll never know...

    Happy Easter!

    Whatever she had is obviously still hanging over her..bless. I remember we all went down with a sickness bug and one of my DS has a high sleeper bed and ended up just sticking his head over the side and vomiting...suppose he couldnt help it but it went over everything computer, chair, pile of ironing and the chest of drawers..I remember crying as I cleaned it up.

    Sounds like you are having a hectic day Bunny..don't forget to have a bit of a chill though xx
    But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.

    Oh no..! The idea behind the gouging is so it creates a little funnel which takes the water into the middle - otherwise there's a danger it'll act like a roof and channel it away.

    Oh no Kassi, I hope she feels better soon. Poor girl.

    And Louise, much as I tried not to, your story made me chuckle. I feel your pain though!! :o

    We'll hear stories on the news later about this mad woman in Dorset, sat on her drive with a kettle in one hand and tub of salt in the other :rotfl: :rotfl:

    Not bad, just dreading work tomorrow usually dont mind work but its the push before exams so it gets a bit panicky as you are expected to get all the students through or the blame falls with you.

    Some are really lazy though so im a bit of a worry puss at the moment...feel like hiding from the "real" world.

    Don't worry about that. You can only do your best, and all the worry in the world is not going to make them less lazy.
