    She is crazy isn't she??

    I made him have chickens.. I said do you want the good news or the good news? He said.. the good news?? I said 'I'm pregnant'... cue chickens.. after a few minutes I said 'the other good news is.. I lied and I'm not but my uncle, his girlfriend and their daughter are coming to stay for just over a week.... on Wednesday!' lol...

    And for all you who don't know... chickens are just FULL of eggs but they can only poo out one at a time... :j

    Evening all, not done much today. All motivation evaporated for some reason:confused: I will do better tomorrow!
    Froddington that must have been a shock! Hope you are ok:A

    Triker, little barstewards:mad: They should all be rounded up and [STRIKE]shot[/STRIKE] sent to bootcamp or something.

    Good news on the teaching front sexymouse:D

    MOJT hope DDs chin is on the mend, must have given you a fright.

    Hope everyone else is ok. Am trying to find some live streaming for the tennis at the moment. Have a few possibilities:D

    Part of the Furniture 1,000 Posts Photogenic I've been Money Tipped!
    Evening ladies :hello:

    Hugs to all as I haven't managed to catch up on the thread (yes my light may have been on...but I haven't been here:p ). Busy day here, tonight has just flown and I haven't managed any studying yet :o I think I might have to ask for an extension if I don't get any done tomorrow while DD is at Brownies. I went and bought her the sash today from the Girl Guide shop - £6 :eek: I'll have to take her back at the weekend to sort out a uniform for her as I'm not sure what size to get her and its shutting down for good on the 26th so everything would have to be bought online!

    I got my placement sorted :D Working with year 5 & 6 in DD's school - I will be getting the staff a massive thank you card/gift. :D No childcare costs, no transport costs, close enough that I can pop home in my lunch hour and swap washing etc, I know a lot of the staff already (they were there when I was a pupil there 20 years ago :eek: or I know them through being a governor) and they're putting me down as specialising in ICT so I'll get to do lots of work on the laptops with the kids :j 16 hours a week, or more if I want ;)Big relief to say the least. Now I just need to get through this induction week .... which reminds me I need to find my CV :think:

    Monday :
    • Dailies
      • [strike]Beds air[/strike] (made when I get back in)
      • Dishes washed or at least in to soak!
      • [strike]Kitchen & Bathroom tidy (S&S if necessary)[/strike]
      • [strike]Tea sorted[/strike]
    • Monday Specific
      • [strike]Phone School re: placement[/strike]
      • [strike]Take textbook with me[/strike]
    Monday Mucking out - Living Room, Hall and Stairs
    [strike]Level 1[/strike]
    Level 2
    Pounce upon the piles of coats and shoes and fling the ones that are no longer worn/needed/fit/wearable
    Level 3
    Vacuum under furniture you can manage to move without hurting yourself
    Extra Mission: Pick one or more of the following tasks –
    1. Filing.. find a pile and file it
    2. Wipe down any paintwork that needs it.
    Right, off to wash the dishes, get stuff out for the morning as I need to run to Asda to swap the new boots I bought from there today (I picked up a size 7 which I have been for as long as I can remember and they're too big :rolleyes: ) and update budgets etc. Then bed by 10pm I hope. :o :wave:
    Creeping back in for accountability after falling off the wagon in 2016.
    Need to get back to old style in modern ways, watching the pennies and getting stuff done!

    Done nothing much since last post except go to MrT's now i have sore feet and sore back and heading to bed very shortly. Hubby enjoyed his first day at the new job so happy days.

    Right nite nite everyone.
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.
    :j :j
