    ooooooh i love hama beads....oh sorry, it's not about me is it:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

    Two of my daughters got hama beads stuck up their noses when they were younger. I remember the middle one doing it when she was younger and OH saying a few years later when I bought some for youngest, youngest won't do it. Sure enough she did it as well.

    I'm in this week. Hopefully i'll actually get round to doing something lol. DS1 on holidays from nursery and i have no courses as its half term so i have no excuse. Sure I'll find one tho lol.

    DP's car failed MOT yesterday, on piddly little things i might add, so my cousin is going to do the repairs tomorrow morning so hopefully can get car in for retest tomorrow pm. It's great having a cousin who is a machanic lol.

    Better shift my bum soon, DP will be back with the kids soon, and i am sitting here in my PJ's doing nothing while my kitchen sink is full of dirty dishes. I am such a filthy mare lol.

    Will try and keep up with posting this week.

    Oh no not the bead things, I got DS2 some from Ikea (they seemed to be cheaper in there), he really likes them, but then I have this problem of I have to find the iron, that's a challenge in itself, we'd need a treasure hunt to find it!

    Sitting room, DP been warned that this evening with his brother they need to remove their own mess before I will take him home (they're currently sat playing on his new PS3 game and I have took the laptop into the dining room because the conervatory is too cold), instead of me clearing up the next morning :D bribed! Then it'll just be the vacuuming, dusting and mopping for me tomorrow :D because I've told the boys they will remove everything belonging to them this evening or it gets binned (they know I mean it!) I might even do the front door now....
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:
