    I would have done it with you tracy but 12-30 is feeding time at the zoo, heaven forbid I do not feed my kids and all hell will break loose!!!

    Done pretty much nothing all morning, apart from book my daughter into the doctors and take her down there, also been to next and took the top back that I needed to!

    Everything else has sat there and not been touched, need to get my bum into gear as health visitor will be here in 45 mins!!!

    WM, TD, WM, TD thats the way it will be today plus sister is calling out for lunch about 1pm so need to put something on.
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.

    Don't suppose it was mine was it :confused::D We are seriously struggling this month what with the bank charging us £90 for being too overdrawn :eek: Like taking money off us when we have no money is going to help the situation :confused:

    Anyway I've forced myself to vacuum upstairs (the vacuum was in DD1's bedroom already - unused by her I hasten to add!) and all the stairs so have to vacuum down here now and will dust around. DH not here this week to nag if the place isn't like a show home :rotfl:

    5 items on ebay, 1 with a bit, 2 others with wtachers, 1 removed due to 'key word spammeing'so I relisted it without 'like new'. Didn't realise you couldn't put that... never mind. But they better refund me the first listing charge! :mad:

    I have a bag of claires earings never been used still in the packets to list later tonight. Dh working till 11.30pm again so I may get the clothes ironed, sorted, photoed and listed.
