    Johanne - aaahhhh! i didn't realise they were two pad. mine is a four pad and is great as stops me resorting to painkillers.

    i've just spent 45 minutes scraping off the old sealant from around the bath. it was really yuck as it had hardboard stuck to it. dh did the bathroom about five years ago and had never finished it off. cleaning the bathroom today it looked awful so i scrapped it of with a knife!! it looks fab. xx

    dd has just come home saying they're allowed to take their nintendo ds's to school tomorrow for 'choosing' time. my question is - will the school replace it if it gets stolen? i've told her i don't want her to take it and if she chooses to take it she replaces it. she knows what that means as it took her 18 months to save up to buy it in the first place. some times teachers don't think!!

    Just stopped at a neighbours and she has given me warm freshly laid eggs - how nice. DS3 is sitting holding one to keep it warm! He can have it for his early tea as dinner with friends will be late.

    Just having a quick cuppa then must finish the lawn feed - it's organic and it stinks. Got some great bits up at the scrap store earlier when dumping all my stuff on them.

    Good evening all. Busy day but not much flying done, went out at 11.30am back at 3pm, did he feed the boys, no of course not, grrr! My goodness he's useless some times so I came home to a chorus of 'I'm hungry'. Made them a late lunch, will have dinner later now aswell. Off to have a look at the list and try to do some of it.

    Hope you're all well, hugs to all, fingers crossed for Johanne's FIL too of course.

    finished my list....it seemed to go on forever today though i think the only hotspots left are dh's study which i'm not doing and the attic which i need him to help with. they are both major, major hotspots. my aim over the next couple of months is to get rid of most of the stuff in the attic. there's no point having it as it's up there as far as i'm concerned.

    going to feed children and then help with 5 mins of maths.

    to finish my list i just need to say: 'pigpen - prod, prod':rotfl:
