    Morning all,

    I feel I've been a terrible forum member the last couple of days - just haven't had the time to contribute properly it seems. But, things should be quieter for the rest of the week - thankfully!

    I see Pigpen's nominated bathroom for today so I shall do that. I also need to:
    • Type up minutes from last night and email out
    • Pay ebay cheque in bank
    • Answer q from ebay person
    • Look up stuff for thingy
    I'm doing roast chicken for dinner tonight so that'll basically take care of itself once it's in the oven.

    Have a good day ladies.

    :cool: Buster's awake :cool:
    I am the leading lady in the movie of my life
  • Morning All

    Hope everyone is well. I am off to get my nails done this morning so won't be doing much flying. Was supposed to be going for a smear too but I have to cancel the appointment, AF arrived. Had a rough night, DD3 was sick in the night all over her carpet!!! I don't "do" sick so OH had to clean it all up and there I was at 1.30am with the vax trying to get the stains out of the carpet!!! Tired this morning. She seems ok though so I think it was what she ate rather than a bug so she will be going to school this morning.

    Also going to add to my list as I have found some more things to ebay so they all need photographing. The current lot of 23 items finishes today and everything has bids on apart from one item last time I looked.

    I had diamorphine at the beginning of labour, but then I'm a complete sap who wanted lots of pain relief! I liked it, but it made me sick. I ended up with an epidural as I had complications and a cesearan was looking likely. Keep an open mind is the best advice I could give you.

    You are all very quiet this morning :rolleyes:

    DD has tonsillitis. She hasnt been that great all week, but went to school as she's got exams. She's devastated that she's missing 2 exams today and 1 tomorrow. Mum and Dad are taking her to the doctors as I dont have a car and its a fair bit away for a sick person. I've got an appointment with my solicitor this morning. Mudbath - please chant your mantra for me. My ex owes me around £9k in unpaid child support, so your 10% is a high one :D

    Better get a shift on. Have a good one ladies xx

    Forgot to say, I have a copy of 'The Spiderwick Chronicles' which I got free in the cereal. I have never heard of it. Anyone like a copy?

    Mudbath, pigpen do your guys work away all week every week? .

    My hubby works about 5 minutes from home... he just doesn't come home or let me know when he is going to be late.

    BUT.. he turns up when he wants, has a day off if we need him to, comes home early for hospital appointments and school meetings and gets to a few of the childrens assemblies.

    Morning everyone!
