Evening all

Sinderella – give your daughter a happy birthday hug from me.
Pigpen – like the photos
G&B – hope your brother gets it!

Sleeping sickness has definitely taken a hold. I can hardly keep my eyes open. Worked v. hard today trying to get the project i'm working on out so I could have Monday off. But, right at the eleventh hour (about an hour before I was due to go home), I found something wrong which is too big to let slide so it's gone back to the developers to sort out. Means I have to go in on Monday after all

I'm now going to phone my nice neighbour up and invite her over for a G&T or three and we can put the world to rights. I'm then going to veg.....

Oh.. and the weekend list is up.. for those who want it..

(post 7700!!!)

vanilla

I've cut all hedges out the front, been up and down ladder all day, strimmed and mowed. Still need to sweep up but stuff it, it can wait until tomorrow. Kids been killing each other all day and could find themselves in bed very shortly (think i could do with going too).

Have planned to get loads done this weekend but by the looks of it, i'll not even get half done, between going to bed late and getting up early, i'm wreaked. Kids are really pushing my buttons between fighting and running off and not doing a thing their told.

Ahhhhh better go and get the tenantcy agreement done up for PIL as they have found someone for the house and their moving in tomorrow.

lil_me

Sorry nicki but I would let her choose or not do anything, I don't know many parents who would buy their ex partners gifts tbh.....
vanilla sounds like they are testing you a bit, I'm well known in my house for when they get too much and I am feeling exhausted I take the boys to my room with a DVD on so I can relax and they can hopefully calm down (doesn't always work of course)
sinderella happy birthday to your DD
REDMADCURLS hope it goes well, enjoy!
soappie ((big hugs)) I so know how you feel, frustrating aswell isn't it?
pigpen, if he gets support in school it should follow on to out of school activities.
g&b well done to your brother, I don't think I would do it.
No I don't think Davgirl is in NZ, just Denise.


Some great news, after a very long time, over a year, parents have a viewing on Sunday at last!!! Ok it's not a sale but something positive. They're getting on my nerves so much at the mo.

Too hot here too, I've spent nearly 2 hours at the park with DS2 after school, he's not been very nice and hurt 2 children. He's usually VERY gentle with others, it's completely out of character for him as he's usually such a big softy this time when they were being rough he's got rougher. I really don't want him going from bullied to bully so have had a few cross words, of course I don't want him being picked on either. He's now screaming the house down in whining on, I think he might be tired so maybe why he was tetchy.

I need to do lots more studying tonight after the sun clears off because the conservatory is too hot and bright at the mo aswell as the boys being demanding, they haven't eaten yet because it's too hot I think, so will hassle them in a mo to make a choice. Megan needs a good brush so think I will do that now.

Too right it's frustrating Lil-me - the body is extremely weak at the moment and the mind is only half functioning. When it does function, it's going "I'll do this, I'll do that - yeah go get 'em". Then you start, you yawn, you just want to creep into bed. And I don't even have half the challenges you face. I admire you greatly and think you're doing a fantastic job. Puts me to shame.:A

I've had a couple of gins with nice neighbour and feel better for the chat about the weeks challenges (I dump my niggles on her, she dumps her niggles on me and the two lots of niggles end up melding together in the centre of the kitchen table and then evaporate and we both feel better for it if you see what I mean).

Lamb chops are now defrosting in the microwave ready to pop in the oven for dinner. There'd better be something decent on TV tonight that I can flop in front of or I might just have a little mini-me stroppette!

lil_me

soappie you've just described me every day for weeks, most days I get up ready to go and it all just fades to a stop. It's very frustrating when you're not used to it, one day last week I laid on the bed and cried as I was so annoyed with myself. Fingers crossed you come out of it soon x I'm off back to see the GP next week, bloods must have been clear but then suppose can be more worrying wondering what else it can be.

Going to force feed the children or I will never get them to bed!

Hiya
I've been on a fab course today about using aromatherapy oils on people with cancer. Really interesting. DH and children have gone off camping with friends. I came in and mowed the grass, brushed and vaccumed the whole house, two loads of washing, hung it all up, made dinner, did cat tray. Feel quite virtuous. I'll be having an early night as i'm on the course tomorrow too. Just need to go and feed my friend's cat and i'm done.

Sinderella - it's a positive affirmation I guess. Saying that, shortly after I started saying it again I broke my wrist and didn't work for nearly three months!!!

Hugs to everyone.

Hi everyone
Just to set the record straight I don't live in NZ just boring Northamptonshire. I would however love to live in Florida but as its nearly impossible to get a visa I shall be staying just where I am.
