I am trying now to get on with work which is getting more urgent by the day.  I hate sitting at this computer all day anyway.  In the last 5 minutes daughter has come in to tell me about a big spider, son has come in to tell me Ashley Young won goal of the month and husband just walked in to ask if I had hosed down dog who he allowed to jump in smelly pond !!!!

Here goes, going to try and get going again.

You have my sympathies - I also have to work at home, and my computer is in the living room, so I can keep an eye on the kids most of the time - I have a pair of infra red headphones so I can 'audio type' and the family STILL insist on talking to me while I'm wearing them.......

Well I sympathise with you because at least mine are old enough to know better.  I have taken over a bedroom as my study so I can shut the door but they still insist on coming to me every few mintues (it seems). Daughter (19) just informed me she is going to make a bacon sandwich.  I think my head is going to explode!

Now both kids have come in just to argue in front of me. :(

Beam me up Scottie

I know the feeling chez swa :-D

So this is the updated version of the telphone calls, I would get, at about 4.10.p.m. each afternoon, when I was at work "Mu-um, tell him/her!!!"

What it is to feel wanted!

..........hmm but they are never around when you want them!

OOh it isnt supposed to work both ways is it??

>Can you hear my ear piercing screams????

Lol, there's me thinking you were having your ears pierced!  :-D

I thought that too!!!! :D

If only that was all it was.  Ear piercing preferable to the torture of trying to work from home. :(
