    Evening

    replies to everyone first but not in any particular order

    poohbear - fab news on the Wii
    Bonsi - awful news for you. sorry cant add anything more constructive
    spendalholic - :rotfl: even DD's not beat that one
    Dusty - hugs for your neighbour, does sound like a sudden death
    mudbath/lilme - you both under the weather so hugs and parrots for you
    welcome to joanie and lell
    vanilla - just another thing to deal with, sometimes you wonder when its ever going to stop - massive higs to you
    Mr and Mrs Pigpen - Happy anniversary
    tia - hope you werent too shaken up
    Hippy thanks for not kicking me but perhaps I'll need one tonight !!
    shell - can I borrow your hairdresser, mine was £22.50 today just for a trim without blowdry!

    Ok so what I been up to.
    • Got up at 4 o clock to see OH off on his little adventure
    • back to bed at 4.45 but couldnt sleep very well as so light this morning
    • Up again at 6 o clock to ensure everyone got up.
    • Had to take the car to work today as lift sick today so :mad: as it costs me about £6 a day in petrol opposed to £1 a day with her :D
    • DS managed to get DD to school and back but shouted at her on the way home as she squished a yoghurt on the walk home and got it all over her school clothes, shoes and everywhere else as well.
    • Got in and cooked a quick tea for kids (sausage pasta their favourite) as at hairdresser for 6 o clock
    • Back via Mr T for a few bargains
    • Phone call to OH and found he'd done 450 miles on the motor bike today so is very sore. Also managed to drop the bike :eek: when he was going round a corner in a town when someone ran in front of him. Because the wheel was turned when he braked it just went. It took 4 blokes to lift it back upright with all the extra weight, and he thinks he wrenched his back (as well as hurt his pride and dented the bike :cry: )
    Now all I've done is read the thread and watched 10 years younger!

    Tonight now need to do

    Clear away tea things and S/S kitchen
    Make DD's lunch for tomorrow
    Wash and dry her school clothes (as she only wants to wear THOSE ones, and I cant risk another fight)
    and possibly do something from list :rotfl: AND I AM SOOO TIRED

    PS Congratulations lucifer
