    Shell, that's just the right attitude, I have this theory now of if it's mean't to be it will happen. Well done on the weight loss, you're doing great.
    Davgirl hope the headache goes soon
    Pigpen, well done for getting out alive, my sons rooms are terrible at the mo, they've been told they will do some tonight as it's a right fire hazard in the 2 rooms.

    Oi I ain't gobby, just have a lot to say :o I've been rather calm lately, because I haven't had the time, but it's getting closer to a 5 figure number.....

    Well that laundry was dry so it's staying in, very pleased as it usually takes longer (line is in the shade, I do have another DP has been promising to put up, since March......) Been working on my assignment but the main PC is playing up soI've had a yell at DP as he's always filling it with junk. I've just tidied the desktop up soI could find stuff, he had over 50 things on there now put into folders. Working on it last night I was ready to throw it out of the window as it kept crashing, lost data which I thankfully managed to recover some of, but not all. Got 2 bits of question 1 to do then that's one down 2 to go (yes only 3 questions but squillions of parts to each)

    Right, banking stuff, then back to studying. DPs looking for his crutches as his ankles doing it's balloon trick again!
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    Ok, I've now got my revision notes down to 7 pages. The exams are on Monday and Tuesday so if I learn two pages today, two tomorrow and two on Sunday and then one on Monday night i'll be fine. Mmmm, i've got race for life tomorrow as well. What do you mean i'm procrastinating?

    I suppose, and this is probably a really silly idea, but I suppose I could learn a page as I do some cleaning and tidying?!?!

    Mmmmmmmm:rotfl: xx

    Phew, that's that done, no more school for me 'til September. Managed to get 92% on this test and am quite pleased with that as I didn't revise (boooring) and some of the stuff I did way back in February.:shocked:

    DS1 didn't seem to be in any pain from his arm and it's only a small fracture the doc said. He did ask for it to happen though as apparently yesterday in school he said to his friend " Oh, I've never broken any bones!" That will teach him:rolleyes:

    DH emptied the DW so a few things have got done here even without me trying. Will have lunch in a bit and then might actually get something done from Wednesday/Thursday/Fridays list :eek:

    GnB congrats on the star.

    Everyone seems to be having a reasonably good day so far, fingers crossed for everyone for the rest of the day to pass painlessly.

    Oh, yes, DW is a must. I use Mr T's value tabs and vinegar in the rinsaid thing and no salt, everything is coming out sparkling. Also got a Bosch one, SIL had it for years before me and I've had it for 4 years now I think, never had a problem with it at all. (knockonwood)

    Ok, i'll give you a clue.... starts in P ends in N and has a igpe in the middle:rotfl: .

    Right, i'm going to go and learn a page and then come back and bore you about the parasympathetic nervous system and other such delights! And yes, i'm going to tidy at the same time - I am female after all !!! :rotfl:

    Germish - spooky about ds saying that. The Friday before I broke my wrist a client asked me if i'd ever been skiing. I said no as it was too risky incase I broke something. He said 'but you can break something walking to the shops'. Two days later I broke my wrist in a shop. Moral of this story...never ever ever ever ever ever talk about breaking a bone!!!:rotfl:

    Ok, ok, i'm going to study! xx

    Mubath - I think you have sorted the problem now but Home & Bargains had the E45 sun cream for 1.99 a bottle today. Saw it and thought of you.

    Lots to do here, must get the WM on and the DW emptied.

    I have a large collection of twiddly brass and copper things in need of a good clean. Any suggestions? Kleeneze do a brass and copper bath for £4 which would be a lot easier (and hopefully more successful) than our tedious attempts with brasso wool stuff.

    Dalies now done and towels washing.

    Need to update my list. Decided on flying over Mr T - I'll do that tomorrow at some point and leave hubbies with the kids - why waste time out of the house when there is nobody in it;)

    Mudbath - I was always a last minute reviser - actually why do I nag my kids to revise:confused:

    Lil_me - you don't 'sound' at tired today, how are you?

    Just going to do a quick lightspeed survey - I need to sort my survey sites/emails out again as I have not felt like doing any for ages.
