    I need a nap and I don't want to move again. Was out talking to neighbours too late last night, sitting on the step. Went to bed and took me ages to fall asleep as I was so cold!

    Getting really fed up of sneezing and snotting for 3 hours in the morning too! Humph! And the eBayer who won my boots hasn't paid and don't think she will! Going to start asking for immediate payment on stuff!

    List for today.

    Mop floor
    Do a tesco order
    Ironing
    S&S bathroom
    DS2 nursery
    avoid my Dad who wants a lift to several livery places (oh the horse drama! His horse is out on laon because he broke his leg, but she is in a stable 24/7, has lost a LOT of weight, not getting worked and is really depressed, so he wants her moved yesterday! A friend has a field so she can be a field pony if need be. She would love that.)

    That sounds like a fair swap. They are the OH's (keeps getting an abcess cause he has been wimping out of having his gum slit and irrigated:eek: )

    Shall I tell you then I am too scared to even go to the dentist.. BUT.. when I got an abcess I whizzed out hubbys craft knife sliced it open and washed it out with mouthwash.. worked for me!!

    It absolutely does not hurt!!

    Well my DSs acquired their tarantula just over a week ago and we have nicknamed it rocky. Because it is about as active as a rock!! So far it hasn't eaten anything and basically does very little. My sister can't stand spiders but she is not the least bit phased by Salsa (a.k.a rocky) I think it is because it doesn't scurry like little spiders do.

    Spiders don't bother me but earwigs :eek:

    OMIGOSH.. I LOATHE earwigs as well.. They make my flesh crawl just thinking about them. Spiders are fine.. when you can see them.. I don't like it when they jump out at you though..

    My LO loves anything creepy and crawly, think she is turning into a weird child. And i agree pigpen, its the element of surprise that i dont like with bugs.I once popped my dressing gown on after getting out the shower, could just see something dark out the corner of my eye, looked over and there was a huuuuuge spider on my shoulder:eek: :eek: :eek:

    Morning everyone,
    2 at school and 1 at playgroup, sky man due here between 12-3 so my plan is to do 1 1/2 hour cleaning none stop. Need to do a meal plan today and a tesco order.

    Hope everyone is well.

    Tracy what a nightmare of a morning but as they say it can only get better.

    Pigpen glad your DS is getting the help and glad the doctors listened after so many years. DD has an appointment on friday for her cerebral palsy and i know already what they'll say and that they won't listen to a word i say. Them and their flipping books.:mad:
    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.
    :j :j

    Tracy, what a morning! Like you've said things can only get better...((hugs))

    Big hugs for everyone else, not managing to keep up with the thread very well as it's manic here with organising the event on Sunday, studying then the 'normal' stuff on top it's just madness. I keep doing little bits of nothing in between trying to keep up with things like dailies etc. I have stripped our bed this morning and the first load is in but like others said 'who's stolen the sunshine?' think the TD will be on full belt today.

    Right, best go, got a few online things to read, some data sets to download for the assignment and banking parp to do then studying, again!

    :rotfl: I forgot one thing, when you have less debts/bills coming in the amount of post you get shows this, we haven't had post this week yet :D not that I am moaning.
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:
