    Washing on, dishes done, S&S'd the kitchen. Just need to get monkey bathed and into bed the i can crack on with my TMA too. I feel your pain Nicki:o Its the final one of the year covering the whole course and its not too bad have nearly finished 2 out of the 3 questions. Have been putting off doing the 3rd question though as its on the computer and i havent been able to make head nor tail of mathcad all year. If my first 2 questions are spot on then hopefully theyll make up for my terrible 3rd one:rolleyes:

    So, wise and wonderful flyladies - how long do we reckon the "pooing in the bath, then screaming with horror at what you've done" stage might last? I should hasten to add this is DD (16 months), OH can sort himself out ;). Ooh, sorry - that's a bit repulsive!

    and today... I have

    - Started moving CDs, cassettes, dvds to shelves from drawers so that drawers can be used for baby paraphanalia, will finish this evening
    - tried to catch up on TD and failed
    - moved all teaching bumph from shelves so that it can go in box when OH fishes one out for me from the room of doom
    -taught DD that her clothes go in the laundry basket at the end of the day :T, that will obviously be a short lived accomplishment
    -and OH has sorted out storage so hopefully very soon, lots of stuff can "disappear" until such time as we ever move

    Pigpen, you crease me up - getting your kids to go in the garden and blow the clouds away... :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    And hugs to the poorly ones - when I got to work today one of my colleagues was being 'brave' by coming in when she was clearly seriously under the weather with the start of a cold. I hope she didn't spread her germs towards my desk...

    MOJT - HAPPY BIRTHDAY! :bdaycake:

    And thank you everyone, for your kind words about my new doors. I am very pleased with them and was still pleased with them this morning when I got up and this evening when I got in. And thank you also for your kind comments about my garden - alas I can take little credit for that - my gardener does most of the work - though I suppose you could say as I direct him it is my effort.... :D

    Got home from work this evening to find DS had kindly sorted out the TV for me. He's hooked it up to some old stereo speakers that were destined for the tip so the sound quality is much better. As soon as I get some longer speaker cable, he's going to put one in the kitchen for me. We are always having battles about how loud I have the TV volume on - I have it that loud because I have slight hearing issues and do like to 'listen' to a programme when I'm working in the kitchen, so the volume won't need to be so loud once there's a speaker in there.

    Half the living room is now sorted, but the other half isn't so that is my task for this evening. Trouble is, it means moving a fish tank which is never an easy job....

    I am also taking the rest of the week off. I was due to take Friday off anyway but when I got to work today, the two projects I'm working on are completely stalled and there's nothing else for me to do until things are fixed so, I said Ok, rather than me sit and twiddle my thumbs tomorrow, I'll spend the day painting etc. in the living room.

    Happy birthday MOJT.

    Thanks for the reminder about quidsco as I need to get holiday insurance so will do that through quidsco now.

    Might have a peep at tomorrows list but I might not!!!!

    In my HHC earlier I;
    - unloaded dishwasher
    - unloaded washing machine
    - dried for 10 mins and hung it all up
    - sorted the recycling
    Not a huge amount but it all helps.

    Speak later xx

    Well.. being in the bath does tend to relax the bowels.. I don't know why but it does.

    Anyway.. DS1 did it more than any of my others and he only did it about half a dozen times.. We sat him on the po before he got in after that (even before he was trained) Or we waited until he had been for a dump then bathed him.. :D
