Evening all :wave:

Just a quickie...I'm heading to bed soon. Today was my 0800 hours start in many months and I'm shattered. Only worked til 1300 hours as well. Finally filled in my UCAS form and got that away tonight.

serena - I missed what happened with DS. So glad he's fine/

lil_me - I'm so clueless with musicians. I just googled Jimmy Page as I thought you meant he was an athelete and I didnt recognise the name. Doh!

G&B - glad it all went well for LO today

AnWsMum - enjoy NY

Everyone else xx

Right, bed time for me. Hopefully I'll be able to catch up with you all tomorrow xx

I am in so here is tomorrows list.

Pack ups for girls holiday club
Pack swim stuff for above
S & S kitchen
Clean oven
S & S bathroom
Master bedroom (finish unpacking case:o )
Mop kitchen, bathroom & porch floors
Drop bereavement allowance forms into jobcentre plus office for mum (along with certificates)
Prep stuff for tea

Due to start date mix up at work girls booked into holiday club for 4 days 9 till 6 - as I had to pay in advance and cannot get refund they may as well go even if they want to leave early.

Why am I so tired when I have done naff all. Still bought big jar of coffee today so if motivation is lacking I may need a few cuppas;)

Evening everyone.

Well my shift wasnt as bad as I thought it might be. Looks like I will be only working half a day tomorrow to make up for going in today. Also because its a Bank Holiday its a bit extra money to go towards paying my debts off.

Will catch up with the flying when I come in tomorrow afternoon.

Valli It makes me mad that the little tow rags just get a slap on the wrist and let back out to attack or rob other people. Glad you got the police involved.

Carol22 Welcome.

Jackie182Fan Welcome.

Off to my bed shortly early start tomorrow.

3. [strike]Binbag dance.. Get a binbag.. fill it and bin it!!![/strike]
4. Clear out the cupboard under the stairs

Also:

2. [strike]Find library books to return on Tuesday.[/strike]
3. [strike]Find DS red book for doctors appointment on Tuesday.[/strike]
4. [strike]Half hour filing.[/strike] Managed to finish it ALL!
   
5. Half hour sewing.

7. Finish stewing apples.
8. [strike]15 minutes control journal.[/strike]
9. Make Humous for DF for week at work Will do this in the morning-chickpeas are soaking
   
10. Buy wholegrain rice cakes for same. ( remind me he insists wholegrain-Im taking orders now ladies:rotfl:) On the way back from Doctor

So Im on the bandwagon with the bedroom done on Friday-but Pigpen you leave me no excuses on the smear do you? Since I'll be in the doctors room tommorow-but really, do I ABSOLUTELY have to?
And your thing with the bunny is freaking me out:(
skintscotslass dont feel bad-I haven't done a google yet:o
Jacqui182Fan Be careful-these ladies are contagious:)
G&B Poor thing.I used to hate my brace-had one for my hand too to force it open-and the sponge stuff ALWAYS made me itch. My mum used to put gymnastics chalk in mine-worked a treat on the smelly and even helped the itching abit.

DF came home to find a note under the door from next door. She apologised for not letting me know about the work and for being rude when I went to talk to her. She also let me know what other work she has planned and asked if I could let her know if her timing would upset our routine. DS eventually passed out (think I mentioned that earlier) but only got up just on 19H00 so I guess we're in for a long night(***sigh***) nice enough about the note all the same. Also, the midnight movers knocked on the door earlier to ask if DS could come round one day to play with the little girl, mum says she looks for us from the bathroom and asks about the little boy next door. Nice enough now too-they were making a huge racket last night whilst I was putting him down-hung my head out the window and asked nicely if they would mind toning down for half an hour-they were so nice about it.

Why oh why don't I file papers when I say I'm going to instead of just putting them into a box file I'm trying to clear the hotspot on my desk as I have loads of papers to do with moving printed out and need somewhere to put them.

WM is on with another load of clothing (bedding & DD's new uniform whites), thats 6 loads of washing today, 4th since we got in at 4.30 :rolleyes: Nothing in the TD yet though its all on the maidens...trying to get it all washed and then sorted into cool/hot/don't TD so I can keep the time down to a minimum. :rotfl:Hoping the weather stays dry tomorrow so I can get stuff out on the line.

I still need to make my bed and I've discovered I've got carpet beetles again, this time in the airing cupboard where I keep all the bedding/towels and off season clothing :mad: Time to get some mothballs and plastic storage boxes. :mad::mad:

Hi

Well the massive toy cleaning mission has been completed.:j It's taken me most of the day but i'm so relieved. I've just got to fill in the insurance forms and print off the pics. OH had Ds2 for me all day so i could get on and even cooked tea. So major brownie points for him.;)

Ds1's room is coming on slowly but surely. I'm feeling a lot less stressed today. I should be painting the ceiling but i think i'm going to go to bed. I couldn't sleep last night, what a time to get insomnia.:rolleyes:

Hopefully i can make a dent in my list before i go to my sister's tomorrow. I've done dothing today off my list i just did an emergency s & s of the downstairs before i left this morning as the IL's were coming over for tea.

Oh and i have my first ever smear test tomorrow wish me luck:o . Thanks for the nagging Pigpen.
