Yeah washing and cleaning, lets all join in and start exchanging cleaning tips . Tip of the day: when cleaning the kitchen always wear an apron, household gloves, high heels and red lipstick, at least that's how they did it in the fifties ? You know...Lucy and all?

Great to finally put some faces to names
Had a bad day yesterday
Took girls to a birthday party, which had a massive bouncy castle inside the rugby club.
Only one mat on the floor.........and the next thing I knew my 3 year old came flying out of the bouncy castle and cracked her head on the floor
Massive egg on the side of her head too
Take her home, with the other 3 girls kicking and screaming as they want to stay and play!!!, 3 year old falls asleep......so I'm worried that she is unconscious!!!! Wakes up 2 hours later and is like a button!!!
Then hubby decides we shouldn't move to Oz!!!!
Took a few hours to persuade him we are doing the right thing by going, even if we will be financially worse off.
Emotionally drained I demand a hot curry from the local Indian takeaway........and bloody enjoyed it!!!
What a day!!!

I think it might be called mental instability!!

PMSL Miranda. I can just imagine you there with your formica kitchen in sunshine yellow and matching rubber gloves. Pinny on and a bow in your hair.

OMG! What a day. I hope your little one is OK. I bet her sisters won't let her forget this in a hurry.

Then another OMG for Andrew saying he doesn't want to go.

I don't know about a curry, you needed a stiff drink after that day.

LOL, sorry Somme, but I had to laugh at your poor OH. There's you all happy as larry this morning and there he is shaking and probably chain smoking wondering if you are going to drop another shock on him.

Hope you're feeling better though. What are we all like. I don't think I've seen so many of us in an emotional turmoil for a while.

Thanks O2O! Got to wait until 30th March before they actually take over. No new viewings from old EA since we gave them notice.

Today we are talking about leaving our house and leasing it on a corporate let for a couple of years to guarantee income. Anyone done this??? Anyone know how to do this?

Changed my mind about Phillip Island - eldest daughter went out with her mate and hasn't long come back Best laid plans and all... Never mind I spent the afternoon baking - something I enjoy but don't get the time to do very often as always running around here, there and everywhere.

I have lost one of my kids tonight but gained someone elses I don't know from day to day who will be sleeping at my house

Is it snowing with you?

thanks for the lucky star...

they came, they still liked, they also want to buy half our furniture. Yay.

Only slight issue is they want to be in a bit earlier than we want to be out, but we will sort that.

EDIT - no snow - sunny and windy here.

Oh, well, you'll have to go another day. You do know that the penguins don't swim ashore until about 6pm and then it takes about an hour for them all to arrive and find their burrows. VERY cute though!

So you wouldn't be back home until at least 10pmish

LOl at strange kids. Hope it's not permanent..

I was sitting here all jealous thinking that you had snow - SC reported snow earlier today you know....

No snow - just very windy but sunny. We very rarely get snow here. Fingers crossed we don't!

Lol, yes a lot of lunacy around.
