Well the first think your doing wrong here is shopping in Tescos!

I do feel sorry for you but thank you for making me laugh and cheering me up as I sit here reading threads on mumsnet instead of studying for my exams which start on Thursday! x

I have an overstuffed "oubliette" under the stairs too, sharing space with all the cardboard and plastic I am trying to figure out how to recycle.

Thanks for the link on another thread about the silver eco school awards. Blimey, it sound hard-think I'll give up for the time being and go back to figuring out how to go back to work full time-to heck with shopping, schools the planet and plants too.

Well this afternoon, dd1 spilt a full pint of milk on me , I knocked a full bag of raisins on the floor under the fridge and my chocolate got water in when I was making crispie cakes

Majorstress-We do the eco-schools thing as a matter of course now though.BUt we are a special school on a special life skills curriculum so recycling comes into that (it is also findingway round school/using local facilities /walking to the centre/getting a permit for the recycling centre [grr])

It sounds like you have done an awful lot today Mrs Who. No wonder you have had a few mis-haps! Try and be a bit less active tommorrow.

Be careful walking from pool to changing rooms incase you slip!!And make sure you don't lose the key to your locker as that could make you even more
