Good maaaaaaaaaaaaawning all!

bianca your poor dd - as long as it's mostly her pride that is dented, she will get over it. Hard to leave them when they are upset though.

Busy busy busy day for me today. Have been painting like a mad person for the exhibition for the last week so have done NOTHING in the house. All the paintings are away and hung (preview on Friday) so am tackling the house today. Also, am back down to two days at work this week so can FLY again PROPERLY - even can do the missions Got my control journal all ready and open so off to get my list (which is horrendous) and get cracking.

Morning All

I like all the halloween names

bianca I hope DD is ok poor little mite.

Jas I have tried both the things you said....it actually made things better for all of...oooh....3 weeks!

Well....busy day today, have to go to the bank in a mo, and then pick DS up. A friend is coming back for lunch. Then I'm looking after her DD's after school for a few hours.

Not much FLYing going on really!

Hi Luda Hope things are OK with you this morning? I'm around on MSN if you'd like a chat (any excuse not to do the ironing)

I think the worst thing for dd was that she fell off her bike right outside the school in full view of everyone Her skirt got tangled in the bike so everyone saw her knickers (very for her at the moment). Not a single other parent came to help her up so I had to struggle to balance my bike (with ds on the back) and help poor dd up...Eventually another mum did come over and helped lift the bike and later one of dds friends came and gave her a big hug while I locked up the bikes (aww) I hope she manages to have a good day. it's always a worry when you leave them feeling so sorry for themselves though.

I'd better go and get another load in the wm.

See you later

Hi again all Bianca hope your DD has had an ok day.

WE've just discovered that Mog has escaped via the (high up) kitchen window. There are paw prints all up the glass! She's a house kitten so we are a bit worried. Have been calling and calling her, but there's no sign . She's mad as a bag of snakes, but I'd be so sad and feel so guilty if she's met a tragic untimely end.

No I'm a plastic one Ruby

Sorry, weird sense of humour there.... yeah I try to be.

Well, have not actually done much with my list atall. Have managed to do a whole weeks shopping and dinner is done and dusted (steak pie, mashed potatoes, parsnips, broccoli, carrots and gravy yummmmmmy am stuffed) and the house has at least been tidied and dusted. Off to hoover and try to do some washing or we will all be running around naked tomorrow. dh WON'T look good up a ladder in his birthday suit.

about the cat. Hope it arrives back home safe and sound.

Pah! you cheapskate - don't you want a lovely painting of your little kevin or mary? A snip at £3,000... that's a special price just for you

I don't make a living at it, unfortunately. I paint as well as working 2 days a week. Otherwise I'd starve
