    Germ hope you enjoyed SitC, I loved it when I went.

    Not doing anymore tonight. I've spent the last hour talking to DS1 about his science GCSE. He has gone from saying I don't care if I fail all my exams next year (2 days ago) to I want to get A's in everything except for 2 subjects.

    Off for an ice lolly and to watch BB

    Am too embarrassed to post a list. Will come back tomorrow with better progress hopefully.

    This is a great thread i love it

    although i am comming in to it late this week i might just wait and start it next week otherwise i will be trying to catch up with what i missed mon - thurs cos im like that

    so next week i will be on first what time do you post up the list or do you do it sunday night so we are prepared for what the next days jobs are?

    i will find it hard to do as i have 3 kids under 4 and 1 of who is still breastfed but i love the idea that someone is checking on me

    also i can only do hoovering once a week cos hubby works nights and so is asleep all day:mad: makes it so much harder to get things done

    i know excuses excuses but i really hate housework:rotfl:
