OMG Johanne, what a drama!! I can understand why you'd have mixed feelings!

Nicki :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: that's hilarious. That's the most I've laughed all week

Well I haven't done much again today. Maybe this week wasn't the best week for me to join :rotfl: . Well I've still got tomorrow, although all 3 rooms that I had planned to have done are still a tip.

DD2 has decided to change her napping routine. She was in the habit of sleeping for the 2 hours DS was at nursery in the morning and so I thought I'd be able to fly my way round the house, but since I joined this board, she's been having about 15 minutes in the morning :eek: . I'll go and find my list and post with what I have done though.

I hope you're all enjoying your alcohol, you're making me so jealous as I'm bf so can't drink yet

Hi everyone! I've not been on all week, too busy flying - you'd be proud of me, i've somehow managed to get most of the rooms done to level 3 !!!! yipee!! decided i needed to make a really good effort this week as it will all go to pot next week with it being half term. i guess i'll just have to make up for it the week after.

There's a lot more that I would also like to get done, but I don't want to be too ambitious, especially since I'm not doing so great this week already, so we'll see how that goes and I might add some more to it later on tomorrow.

Good luck flying tomorrow everyone, hopefully I can resist the temptation to turn on the computer and I wont be back on here until at least late on in the afternoon

Oh God, the riff raff across the back are celebrating...

They are all p*ssed and falling about and letting the 3 oldest kids run amok. I hope the baby can sleep!

We had trouble with them a few months back over fencing (well, I didnt but when the woman started physically shoving my OAP neighbour around, thats when I started having a problem with them!) I've got a horrible feeling the fence might get torn down tonight. Now, where did I leave my boxing gloves? :think: There will be hell to pay if there is any damage with my house being up for sale!

Hugs to pigpen and Anw's mum.

**walks in yawning**

SSL - fingers crossed things settle soon, an anon call to the police might help if things don't calm down.
Chasingbutterflies your post made me laugh a lot, my partner wouldn't have a clue what to pack for himself either!

Well I finished my today list and a few extra things so pleased with my little self.

DP has ordered his new car, funded by his relatives, based on past experience I don't know how long it'll last before he gets the 'I need to use it bring it over' 'take me here there and everywhere regardless of what you're doing' 'but you owe me' all the time but I have made him agree that if it starts, she gets it back. I am in no way an ungrateful person, to spend £15k on a car for him is a nice gesture but no other gift has ever been without strings. We'll just have to wait and see.

I've got errands a mile long to run tomorrow, friends car is outside my house as it needs extra parts, tomorrows first job getting the stuff and helping DP fit it. Studying also needs some work, really slacking on that at the mo. DS might be going to his friend's after school tomorrow but the little ones grandma is ill so might be off, I think I might end up with him a little more over the hols aswell, he's a nice kid usually and keeps DS2 entertained (nice saying he has friends as his social skills are poop) so don't mind much.

I think it's bed time **yawns again** good night everyone.

Morning all

Horriible nights sleep....well no sleep really :mad: (just corrected THREE spelling errors in that last sentence - why does coming on here make me dyslexic?)

Lots to do today as yesterday not much flying done - though I did fill in online job application at least.

:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: cat has just run in through the cat flap and jumped on the keyboard, tail puffed up like a fox doing her "mummy, mummy" miaow.....looking out the window I can see the cat from 2 doors down sitting on the drive wearing a puzzled I only wanted to play, expression ....honestly my cat is SUCH a coward - the other cat is as soppy as mine I know, and just wants to be friends I am sure :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Right - off to make lunches and start breakfast ... back later to read through thread, hope a good day is in store for everyone
