Serena glad your DD has got that exam out of the way and hope she gets her A.

Right a quick HHC for me - washing out and wet wiping.

Nicki, I'm glad I have a very good excuse not to drink any coke at all! :rotfl:

I have hoovered downstairs
Did the dishes
S&S kitchen
tidied living room
uploaded 6 items to eBay
Had 2 galsses (500ml glasses) of diluting juice (I can't stand water reminds me of being sick)
Played soldiers with DS2 for a while (I got shot and turned into a Zombie)
Played Power Rangers with DS2 (I was a baddie so lost)

Tonight, please someone tell me to get off my bum and DO A BUDGET PROPERLY!

No Ash we don't. I take part in :cool: ORF:cool: . Soappie has a camera which shows her driveway and the street. Somebody was parking on her drive so she has a team of us flyladies watching her house whilst she is at work :rotfl: How sad are we - I love it - a guy just parked outside and got our of his van.

Right I have done an online food shop for Saturday night (it was free delivery and we will be here). Will still need to get a few bits before then.

Aw man - I knew I missed out all the good stuff on ORF when I went AWOL. Can I be stand in if someone goes away on Holiday? Pretty please......?!? I am far too nosey, I know.

ok. Well it looks like the only thing that I have managed to do is my budget for this month. All i need to do is stick to it. Being as I am at a hotel for the night tomorrow it may not be a good start.

Of in a minute to pick up my sister from the train station then check how DD is as she is at playschool and has been crying and tearful for about 30 minutes. :eek:

Half hearted attempt at tidying up at the moment as I i know that when I am away (only for 1 night) the place will become a pigsty (no offence to you Pigpen . I wouldn't mind but I don't expect he to fly but maybe if he could just put his/the childrens' plates in the Dw would be a start.

Well you never know I may come back to a shiny looking house :rofl:

It makes it MUCH, MUCH WORSE:eek::eek::eek::eek::D

All those nasty artificial "sweeteners" (which always taste bitter I think). I won't let my children have anything with sweeteners in and have told them how bad they are for them. My DD1 told me that a friend of hers had a "Coke Zero" yesterday and was telling my DD how good it was for her because it had nothing in it. So my daughter put her straight on that one :rotfl:It's good to know that they listen to something I say anyway. :rotfl::rotfl:

I completely agree, at the minute though as parents we cannot do right for doing wrong. What happened to sugar in moderation. Eveything is full of aspartame at the minute which is apparently carcenogenic isn't it. i was told by an old doctor now retired who specialised in peadiatrics don't give your kids sugar free with aspartame in it because of the above reason, went to dentist was told do give your kids this it won't hurt them!!!!!!! ARGGGGGGH! Now i do it in moderation and i never ever buy fizzy pop.
Also 1 bottle of normal coke contains 40 spoons of sugar!! Even 1 single glass is too much.:eek:

When i do buy coke its to clean a my oven pans, only ever done this twice as the shop had run out of bicarb!

Well as far as budgets go i am on my way to blowing mine already, Just spent £50 in netto no food but i got a slide for the kids and some Daz 90 wash for £11.99.:D

Although gonna do a tight shop this week as cupboards have quite a bit in them just need fresh/fridge stuff:D

Serena well done to your dd, i remeber my oral frensh exam like it was yesterday its the only one i feared and did brill. I could speak |French better then English at that point:rolleyes: . I was asked at work the other day to interpret a note to one of the solicitors its was just a note of thanks with a box of chocolates.....i am the cleaner lmao:rotfl: ...i did it ok but i would like to get back into speaking french better again. I am far from fluent in it now.

On one of the occasions that I had the kids at the dentist for a check up he started giving me a lecture on not allowing the kids sweets. I told him that they didn't get them (which back then they didn't) DS had the beginnings of a cavity - which was caused by... fruit juice and the amount of fruit he ate. So although I thought I was doing the right thing diet wise and yes we improved his toothbrushing technique (sp?)

I also learned that sugar free dilute had a *lighting the touchpaper* reaction with DS :rotfl:
