Thanks PBM, I think it is because Easter is approaching and know that my frends will all be calling with their kids etc, their houses are always immaculate and I know its just not cleaned because I am visiting, they are always like that

Really must learn to cut and paste, so I too can post long lists, maybe I will cover that on my computer class

LOL TA @ celebrity mner .

PBM hopefully things will be better with in laws . DP is off for a week things are very quiet but no rows still very peed off and upset with him .

Alice glad you had a good weekend even the room situation sounds a bit rubbish .

WME Good news on ds sleeping through

JKS are you managing to resist the sweetshop?

CC well done on the presses !

My god Comewhine, are you exhausted after checking in on all of us?
Apologies havent much advice for you, but you have been in my thoughts

LOL CC I am I like to keep an eye on you all . I am fine TBH feeling really postive and just concentrating on having this baby . I have not been very organised and am starting to slightly panic about the amount of stuff I need to sort out before she arrives and mine have a habit of arriving at 37/8 weeks so she could be here in 5 weeks .

Also just passing the time on reading the thread waiting for my mum to turn up .

My problem Comewhine is that I start to get organised a couple of weeks before a big event, trying to be organised, then the few days before the event the house looks like a bomb hit as if I havent bothered my behind at all.

OKay CC

Go to the top of one of your posts
start at the very 1st letter and right click and hold down
drag mouse down to the the end of post
everything should be highlighted
left click
then click on copy
then all you have to do is right click again and hit paste where ever you want to stick your list

Right I have cut in utility room ceiling, will need to do again as its not white
but off now to make lunch

Sorry
