    Hi everyone,

    Just popping on to say I am in this week ;)

    Have just put DD2 to bed and DD1 is watching her 5 mins of Gladiators beofre she goes up too... (can't believe she is only 4 and is obsessed with Gladiators lol)

    I am going to fly fly fly once DD2 is settled... might do myself some scrambled egg on toast first though :rolleyes:

    DD1 has come home twice in a row with paint down her uniform, so they are whizzing round in the wm as I type.... (apparently she was wearing an apron!!!!)

    She has to take wellies and a rain coat tomorrow as they are going to be digging!! uniform in the wash again tomorrow then!!!

    Hope everyone is ok and hugs to all who need them.

    Be back on in between flying :D

    Good luck for tonight MOJT, and for tomorrow Shell (took me 3 tests and 100 lessons!)

    Serena - we were away for most of half term but the weather was bad here anyway so couldn't have done much. We were just lucky with three clear days over the weekend - pouring down now so just watching the weeds come back.

    I have also got a Blackberry now so don't 'need' to put the pc on to pick up client e-mails. I find sitting down here is fatal and loses half an hour everytime. I should be ironing now.....:p

    DW is on, animals are fed, DH is doing some pointing (in the lime mortar sense rather than saying thats a wall, thats another wall) and the boys are asleep. Ironing and a beer it is.

    I've spent over an hour de-grotting the livingroom, I even wiped the paintwork down. Had a bit of a reshuffle of the furniture and sorted out my wireless connection finally. Let's see if it stays that way this time.
    Pigpen, was it not the Asda wellwoman supplements? Maybe while I've been away there's been another suggestion but that's what I've been on since Easter.
    I was hoping for bedroom day tomorrow (ooh, look at me, two days back and I'm having a gripe) as mine's foul but since I won't be home 'til late kitchen it is 'cos that's not too bad. I'm seeing the foot lady and expect a telling off about inappropriate shoes then I'll definitely go swimming while Mr Messy gyms and then hopefully have tea out somewhere.

    Bye for now.
