    :rotfl: :rotfl: Lol Pigpen at Tiddles, glueing her body, and dead beasties, strange child,

    Full of snot too and a sore throat, so glad I got a lot of housework done yesterday. It has been raining all day here too so nice excuse to snuggle up with the kids on the couch tonight watching Britain got talent!

    I promise I will look at the list and maybe even do something of it, after the tea is made, cleared away and dishwasher loaded...

    hearing all your cat stories, glad I don't have one, couldn't cope with the dead things being brought home :eek:

    Forgot to say: your patio doors look fantastic Soappie, bet you are glad that is over.

    Michelle, well done for coping so well with two little ones, I remember it well and I don't think I was that organised ever..

    Gunsandbanjos: You are doing great with Quidco, £200, I should put more effort into that, keep forgetting, any hints?

    Tea is ready, :wave:

    I also have no payment options set up so my money just builds up and i get Xmas effectively for free:beer:

    3 loads of laundry brought back in and folded.. hubby can supervise them being put away.. I'm having a cupasoup as I'm in a blood sugar wobble. I reloaded both WM's and put dinner in. I also filled half a binbag for charity shop!!

    Why does folding laundry take so flipping long? there is no wonder I get nothing else done.

    :bdaycake:Happy birthday MOJT! Another Gemini birthday.

    I have had absolutely no time for flying as I'm very busy feeling sorry for myself, sneezing and sniffing, and watching The Constant Gardener, which DD found and put on for me, mainly to stop me moaning I think.:D It worked.

    Actually, I'm lying a little bit, because I have washed the main bedroom linen, and vacuumed, although with slightly ulterior motive, as the noise made DS1 and DD get up.

    soappie - the doors look fantastic and so does the garden!

    Better go and cook dinner.

    Happy birthday MOJT!!!!

    Well DD is currently out with ex having tea at KFC, told them I wasn't too worried about what time they get back tonight with it being half-term but he's still saying 6pm as he's got a 2.5 hour drive home. I'm not even hungry ATM so I'm going to leave my tea until later, although the way my appetite has been I'll probably not end up eating anything if I don't force myself later. :o

    Managed to get DD to bath herself (minus washing her hair) this afternoon while I re-made her bed and she did a pretty good job as well - she loves using my exfoliating gloves so she has "big hands" :rotfl::rotfl:
