    Morning all ... I was right - I'm shattered this morning, doesn't help that I didn't get to sleep until gone 1am and then kept waking up. Guess I was subconsciously thinking I'd sleep through the alarm :confused: Then after the plan of getting up at 6am to do my Davina I thought. about it and decided against it, an extra 90mins in bed was more appropriate this morning :o Thankfully I got alot of stuff sorted last night so there wasn't much to do this morning except make breakfast :D

    I can never keep up with this thread - not yet 9am Mon morning and it's already on page 3!

    Will be bobbing in and out, but I have a huge study, and I can't see the floor. Still recovering from losing two four door filing cabinets to one small, broken bureau - thanks inlaws! I also have a huge organ (now now - it's too early in the day for those sort of jokes) and a full keyboard to work round. Bathroom is tiny and in definite need of a blitz.

    So I will never keep up with it all on the thread but I want to say thank you to pigpen for posting the thread - pigpen, you posted on a thread I started about a washing up bowl and I went back and realised that I had thanked everyone but you because my mouse was playing up - so sorry, don't think that I was ignoring you :o In the end I have decided to keep my washing up bowl, bleach it out regularly and wait until it starts leaking before I do anything else.

    DS has his first runny nose. What a milestone! But he is nearly 18 months now, so I am quite pleased that it has lasted this long before the yuk. I must actually be doing something right. Poor little bunny, he's feeling so sorry for himself.

    Anyway, must get off because somewhere in this house is my new debit card - and I have no idea where :eek::eek::eek:

    Exactly WSS! Had my Mum down, and have been trying to get back in to swing of things, but should be able to get a lot done today - DD1 back at pre-school anyway, so will have a bit of time ths afternoon - though am sorely tempted to sleep!

    Oooh, and one thing I'd love to do this week is attempt my Davina DVD - DD2 is now 6 mths old and I haven't even looked at it yet.

    BTW, don't know if anyone else is as sad as me but I was really pleased with the results for "I'd do anything" and "Britain's got talent." I just wish I'd placed a bet.

    Me, I'm sad, I ADORE George Sampson - as an ex-dancer, I get SO excited about things like this, plus I'm from Milton Keynes originally, so I loved Nemisis too! I'm never happier than when watching an episode of 'So You Think You Can Dance' :D

    On another note, how can I still be shattered, after 3 Pro-plus and 2 cups of tea?? :rolleyes:

    tiptoes - No I completely forgot the concert was on actually until someone on Facebook changed their status to say they were listening to it :o I couldn't see or hear the fireworks from where I was anyway I don't think.

    Well I've just spent 20minutes queueing in the post office to post 1 blooming parcel! :mad: There was only one person on and of course with it being Monday everyone wanted their money and to pay their bills. Now I remember why I wait until about 10am to go if I HAVE to go on a Monday or Tuesday :rolleyes: When I left the queue was out the door and the lady behind the counter was working two different positions at the same time! :eek: This is the same one which got robbed two weeks back (BTW they caught the fella with the knife who stabbed the securityman once the helicopter arrived to film it ;) I love Merseyside Police website! :rotfl::rotfl: )

    Just going to have a coffee to try and wake me up then I'm going to erm.... :confused:... Wash some dishes and sling a load of washing in I think. Need to go and sort out email while I have my coffee though, the ISP one is currently at 3900+ as I didn't check it for the last two weeks and somewhere in that lot should be an internet statement :eek::eek:

    :coffee::coffee::coffee::coffee::coffee::coffee::coffee::coffee::coffee::coffee: <---help yourselves!

    Well thats a good start, have also emptied and reloaded the DW, done the dishes, put a load in the WM.

    Question for the bunny owners, pigpen and tia of course. Are your bunnies house trained? It is next on my list of to do things and i wondered the easiest way to do it? She is good in her cage as she only does it in one corner so i'm hoping she'll take to a litter tray:confused: Before my DH makes rabbit pie:eek: She jumped up on him the other day then pee'd all over him, lets just say he wasnt very happy:o
