    I didn't go shopping until after 1pm.. I had my nails done this morning.. went for a coffee.. bought a carpet for the middle room put some money in my mothers bank account. Colected chimps from church club brought them home then went off into town centre. Spent a fortune in Lush.. :D.. Got DD2 her first bras.. and sorted my school uniform list. Just catching up on bill paying as hubby was paid today then I am off for a shower and to the pub!

    I've never had a problem ordering from M&S

    I've got uniform for 6, shoes for 7, coats for 7 and clothes for all 10 of us!!

    <grin> well organised as per normal! Nice shiny nails again I'm guessing, and long may they remain that way.

    Enjoy the pub, sounds like you need it :)

    No.. it is organised chaos.. I took the 2 oldest girls with me and by 4pm we were starving so.. off we went to boots and got 3 lots of the meal deal and a £5 make up voucher I'll get stuff for my sisters hamper.

    I also.. spent a small fortune in the disney shop... but I bought myself a new mug.. with eeyore on! DS3 a lunch box and a variety of bits for school.. DD2 has a lovely bag.. nightmare before christmas and matching purse so she is well chuffed!

    However.. I haven't paid a bill due to forking out for this lot so I have some catching up to do during the month.. again!

    Well I've done no flying either - house is a bit of a mess and I've also spent time crying. I know I've not been on here long but hope you don't mind me writing this as I need to get it out somehow! I really need to get planning done for school but I can't concentrate on anything at the moment. The headteacher phoned today and left a message to check I'm going back next week but I can't face phoning her back as I'll just burst into tears. I know I need the routine of work and something to do but right now I can't see how I'm going to be ready for Weds. And I get so cross with myself for feeling like this :mad:

    Sorry bout that - am crying whilst typing but it helps to get it out.

    Hugs to everyone else who's feeling carp!

    Just caught up with the thread, as I have spent most of the day on the sofa feeling under the weather and lacking energy. I have knitted quite a bit of my first sock though! Oh, I did tidy up some magazines, and took out a bag of them to go on freecycle. Being collected tomorrow morning.

    Dusty - two of those on your list of topics were mine. I talk too much!

    hex - I'll try to find the photos, but droped out of facebook when I started doing supply.

    toots - have pm'd you, but the earlier posts were brilliant, sounds like a plan to me!

    soappie - glad you enjoyed your day!

    juliejim - my sister and her DD went to see the stage production in London last night, and said it was fantastic!

    This weekend I want to get OH to do a couple of outstanding bits of DIY - the remaining bit of the wardrobe, so that I can remove the step ladder and toolbag from under the bed, and the curtain pole in the livingroom. Wish me luck!

    I have to do some planning for next week - and I'm now paralysed with nerves. I really, really wish I wasn't having to do Spanish! I rang my agency lady today, and she was very encouraging - well, she would be! It's not her in front of Set 6 and 7 is it?? I have kind of decided that I'll give it my best shot, for a reasonable number of weeks, and if I'm truly hating it, then I'll quit.

    Ive been looking at the comps board I might try a few.

    My DD took a photo of me with eldest GGD yesterday. When Ive looked at it there is something showing next to her. Part of the way down whatever it is there are rainbow colours.

    Hoovered.
    Shredded
    Put bills away.
    Tidied living room.
    S&Sed kitchen and bathroom.

    Soappie you dont get to be pooped! Youve been living the life the last two days whilst we've all been playing at desperate housewives...and such;) And the jury's still out on the test:confused:

    Toots definately get yourself some concertina files! Another tip re these. I went into my local WH Smith and found a few where the packaging was ripped and people had tried pens on them etc. I asked if they could reduce these and they even had some in the back-I got 7 for about £10. I put all the old stuff into two alphabetically and now since DS was sick on one (don't ask) Ive filed the new stuff in own,alphabetically and then chronologically within. Started out alpabetically and then once everything was away sorted by dated. Even DF can find his way round now.:rotfl:

    Zed Thanks, I just hope we get to see a Derm-who knows, maybe we can get me sorted too.

    Nicky Good vibes for your visit from the men in blue-keep us updated (omg I just realised I dont kno what colour the en in blue wear in this country:doh: How could I not kno that by now-its black. Isnt it? )

    So I'm sneaking in one whilst DF is off to the co-op with DS (I should be watching home and away to spare him from it when he gets back:rotfl: ) So I'll get on and then then the kitchen.

    I have a date to beat his bum tonight at Magic:j

    Evening all, has taken ages to read all the messages! I have not done what I should have today but instead cleaned all the downstairs windows using the Lidl window cleaner and a microfibre cloth (thanks denisefowler/flower). They look marvellous and they shine too!
    Lounge looks poor, been on here too long! Will have to hoover around tomorrow. Spare room not bad so may I may barter with myself the windows versus this room.
    So pleased to hear Johanne's news. Wow, what a difference a day (or two) makes. Please send me good vibes too (to get off this site!), put the DW on and empty the WM. Right I'm off, good weekend all.

    ((((big big hugs))))

    Take a deep breath and decide where you want to be and how it is best to get there!!

    you need to focus on just one little thing at a time and it will fall into place.

    The head might just be the one person you CAN rely on.. it is their job to help YOU.. you are not there to serve them you are there to provide adequate education and in order to do that the head is there to assist and support you and make sure everyone is coordinated.

    Have a cuppa.. a nice relaxing bath or slob in front of the TV and look at it tomorrow, with a clear head and an hours peace.

    Boddy - spooky re the photo - I lover mysteries like that.

    Froddington - big hug, big breath, big slug of wine. Try (if you are happy to) to give us a little bit more info. Are you happy in your job? Are you just a wee bit disorganised at the moment? Is something else on your mind?
