    Bossy.. go read the link I shared on my FB yesterday... usually this is fobbed off with 'it's because they like you' .. and 'stay away from them' ..I'd go in to speak to staff because it could well have consequences into adulthood.

    Too much tired, not enough sleep.. DD2 had me up until after 2am, Twinkle was up at 4 and the others at 6..

    Kitchen is less full of dirty pots and I took 2 huge carriers to school for 'junk modelling' .. and half a wheelie bin of recycling.. my kitchen is still gross! I am too tired to do anything about it today

    Bossy - give her a big hug from her Fly-aunties and tell her that we think she's amazing, because of course she is!

    I am not going to get distracted today from Valli's list. I was going to head back over to the allotment yet again as it isn't raining at the mo, but I was awake again at 1am, so quite frankly got a bit of cba. Towels were washed and dried yesterday, so I have stripped the beds and that is blowing outside. I'm keeping one eye on the weather as it can't seem to make its mind up. Errands to run this afternoon in small town, so I will meet DD after school as well.

    Went on a slow jog this morning, showered and hairwashed when I got back. Just having a coffee and something to eat....I will not get distracted from the list....

    I've calmed down now ;)

    But my wardrobe has seen the benefits lol. It's very tidy, I've flung lots - a whole bin liner full - and organised the rest. I can actually see my clothes, and I have a stash box for the winter festival :p

    I've even got some books to donate :T

    Right, I'll got tidy the kitchen and dust and sweep again :mad:

    And the list is done! Even the floors. Drumroll please...

    For my half hour MAD I turned out a cupboard shelf and a drawer of old towels. I've rehoused the best ones and the others are in a pile to go to the Dogs Trust next time I am near. I got a bit carried away and have just rescued the bolognaise sauce which I had forgotten I had left cooking on low. Luckily just in time.

    I've just had a long phone call with an old friend. Unfortunately she didn't mean to dial me, but she recovered that quite well. I've often wondered what I did wrong / to upset her as she just stopped responding to my texts. Having spoken to her today, I think she just moved on, and I was no longer in the plan. A shame, but I guess that's life. :( No suggestion was made for a meet up....

    I'm going to wash up again, then I'll be off to town to tick off some errands. Catch you all later.

    Hi all

    Feeling quite chirpy today (although the decorating mess on the landing is getting to me a little but it will be worth it in the end).

    Paid stuff no. 1 done, home to swish the hoover round, put the dw on and put a hotpot in the sc. On with more paid stuff now.

    JoJo many years ago I worked in accountancy practice. We were not allowed to wear trousers (yes really) .. in fact heels, skirt suits and tights were pretty much compulsory. I used to go out auditing in dusty factories, warehouses and shop basements but I would have never dared challenge the dress code.

    Things have been much better at work since I challenged the boss on a couple of things. Dont want to be negative but I am not sure it will last. Wondering if I should give it a couple of weeks and then say thank you for taking my comments on board I am feeling a lot more positive about x and y. Or just leave it for now.

    Right job no. 2 awaits.

    Hi Everyone


    May I come back & join you all? Good to see a few familiar faces still around. I need to get my house back into some sort of organisation as I have things falling out of cupboards when I open them & I just stuff them back in. :o Not had the best few years I was on medication but been off it now for a few weeks & starting to feel like the old me. I thought of you all this morning when my 18 week old kitten (who has been with us for 4 weeks & has settle in great) sat on my bed & peed on it :(:eek: I have no idea why as we got the litter her breeder had her on & she has used her litter box with no problem, it was cleaned out yesterday & my bed sheets were only just changed on Monday so I am totally confused. I will print the list off & see if I can do a couple of HHC's tonight as this is the only night kids don't have something on.

    Hasn’t changed much! I ended up at a meat market in a straight skirt and heels as a sub for someone who called in sick:D. When I was training we were allowed trousers, but nothing like a jumper when on a farm in January doing stock take (and I mean STOCK:rotfl:)

    Thankfully I tend to work on smaller start ups these days and I’m office based. I live in woolly cardigans.

    just dashing in

    Bossy please mention that to teacher/school. It's against theri anti bullying policy. Name-calling (repeated) is bullying.
