    I can't even keep up with that thread!

    Right, good evening, I've done the medicine cupboard :D there is actually space and there was loads of empty containers :o

    Hmmmm not done much else however.......I've sort of ended up slobbing, I need a shower aswell, feel yuk! I'd have used the jacuzzi to help my back but I am doubtful I'd be able to get back out and DP is out.....so don't think I will risk it.

    Eeeeeeeek! I look like a strawberry! Must have caught the sun :o Only person I forgot to put lotion on was me. Oh if anyone spots sun lotion WIPES anywhere please let me know, tried Boots today and Avon (got them there last year) with no luck.

    Oh fab, thanks :D I need them for DSs for school aswell, them having to put their own suncream on has ended in a lot of mess!

    EDIT** Tia do they call them sunnies? I'm trying to find them on the online shop, nearest Asda to here is miles away, looks like I am out of luck

    Good luck for tomorrow Nicki

    Glad it's not only me who's done little flying this week. I have done the kitchen and the hall floor and that is it. Only one exam to do tomorrow so depending on the weather I may do the living room or spend some time in the garden.

    Night all.

    Nicki - good luck with your interview.

    All these confessions about not having done much flying - I can feel really smug so I will be - publicly :p:D

    I have done stuff this week. Particularly this afternoon. I had the power within so between work work I did all that washing and hung it on the line to dry. I did hoover my bedroom. I have washed my bedding, dried it on the line and put it back on the bed. I did clear the junk from the unit in the main hallway. I have cooked a roast dinner and washed and cleaned up after.

    I will sleep well and smug tonight.

    Night night ladies.

    They are made by Pampers and are called Sunnies. Sunnies suncream/care wipes.

    Used to be in a yellow pack but I think it's now blue.

    Tried online but can't get them! Argh! Not even eBay have them!

    I am sure I saw them in my local asda, will look tomorrow. I need a pack so will pick up another and if you don't find any I can chuck em your way.

    Would he manage with a spray bottle of lotion?

    Oh bum! Pampers have stopped making them! !!!!!!s! Must have been old stock then.

    He doesn't like sprays of any form, I did manage to get him a roll on one today which I am hoping he finds less messy for now. Wonder why they have stopped making all the wipe versions? So handy and such a great idea. Wondering now with the big Boots not stocking any, no longer in Avon, not online anywhere if they were proven not to be effective?

    I wondered the same thing - although it seems like a good idea? Maybe there is a new type coming out? When I saw your post earlier I thought I would have a look for DD1 and DS as although we try to remember to sun-cream them in the morning... they are both red heads with very fair skin so as soon as the sun looks at them they go pink...

    I will keep an eye out on my travels too. Although our lot only have just over a month left until the end of term :eek: I think I will be painting the fence next week :rotfl:

    Thanks for the idea about washing duvet at home... I will work out the weight tomorrow. Last time I checked I think it was over wieght - but it is possible I am getting mixed up! I thought I might have finished our room by now - not quite there yet :rotfl: :o There is a vast improvement though :D

    I am so impressed with myself this week - I had a huge de junking session at the weekend which has meant that the only *functioning* room that was looking "very homely" was our bedroom. Just a few last bits to find homes for which I will do on Friday now. The upstairs bathroom doesn't count as a functioning room... and if I de-junk it I will only want to [strike]rip it out[/strike] put my stamp on it :D;)

    Good luck tomorrow nicki

    phew - my brain has blanked out on me:rolleyes: Hugs, well dones or chocolate as required.

    Not sure if it is much use to anyone but broadband here is £10 pcm (aol) I was with them for ages though - then called to cancel:rolleyes: Speed is pants but we are miles from the exchange so there is no package to help that! Their software is a pain but DH somehow managed to set it up so that I can just use IE then I don't need to put up with all their ads on the homepage. Why am I with them?! :rotfl:

    ok good night! x
