im in......well i'll try... tomorrow OH is at work and DD is going to mums for a few hours. Good job really as living room seriously needs sorting!!

Spent an hour tonight going through all the paperwork on the dining table... have 1/4 of a bin bag of rubbish and thats before i start shredding things with address/card no's etc..!! I was thinking i might get us some cute his'n'hers folder thingys to put our post etc in on table so its all neat and can be sorted + filed when necessary etc... how sad and stepford wife would THAT be?!

Im stressing tonight... as i know OH has bought =me a present... its for my birthday in *checks date* 11 days time - i only know hes got it because he gave DD a pressie tonight (gorgeous little LFC outfit ) but he said "Mummy cant have hers just yet.." but he has made the normal curiosity even worse by saying he actually has changed his mind now about it and doesnt think i'll like it so hes taking it back tomorrow.... All i can think of is what if i DO like it and he takes it back?!! Then i might be disapointed with what he replaces it with ... :rolleyes: Oooo why did he have to tell me :rotfl: (the child in me wants to sneak downstairs now and look in his work bag see if its in there.... but i know thats sooooooooooo wrong.........)

I'm definately more nervous than DS2, I can't settle at all. Have found the brochure with the times in, no earlier than 8.50am to be left at the GATE! School starts 9am. Oh I'm used to dropping him off at the walking bus and him being walked to the door or walking him to the door, collect at the GATE aswell, not from the door, oh no my baby is growing up I've made the pack ups now however, I couldn't earlier as I left the rolls at the caravan so had to defrost some more. Must remember to get them through the week so they don't sit there mouldy, bleugh! All his 'big school' (juniors) uniform sat there waiting....

pigpen, I had a blister, last night sizzled myself on the 'george' forgot it would be still hot but with 2 swimming sessions it's popped so I have a 'flap' and can recommend soaking for at least 2 hours :rotfl: if like me you can't resist popping them Kittens are evil creatures of the night, like gremlins! Mine used to climb up my legs, up my back then onto my shoulder when I was making her food, she was wicked! Remember being clawed across the face when she decided to try and catch a fly which was buzzing around me.

polka hope you manage to sleep ok, I usually sleep better on the sofa....weird, but if he's got a bad back perfect excuse to make him sleep on the hard floor

Right, bed now, I think, night night x

Morning all, well here goes another week

I can't sleep so up at stupied o'clock which will kill me later.

As well as trying to get something done ala the house and flying this week I would like to try to meal plan.

I have a new slowcooker as OH plonked my other one outside in the rain ~don't ask!

So I'd like to get organised and meal plan. Must mooch over to some other threads and work it out.

BTW forgot to mention that friday night was 'the roof is leaking night'._pale_

Obviously the blasted weather has taken it's toll and something is dislodged or moved. Water was dripping through the ceiling onto the stairs. Anyway OH managed to patch it up and he rang the insurance company on saturday morn.
Their advice is to find a builder or two, get some quotes in, if its over £300 then they'll want a few quotes, then they may decide tto send an assessor round!

So as if we don't have enough to sort/do, now we have to find a builder, have time off work to get them to examine the damage and so on.
*Sigh*, ah well we'll see what the week brings.

Toodles for now. x

Morning all

Well the washing is still there neither damper nor dryer! It can stay out there for the day which is, allegedly, going to be dry.

I see we have the living room today. I will do that when I get in from work. Chap's coming round to start the painting of the outside of the house today. It'll take about 3 weeks apparantly. Me and the neighbour upstairs have to decide on colours tonight!

With the decorator coming, the house needs to be particularly spick and span for the duration. I don't want him looking in and seeing an untidy place!

Right, bath, dress and then work.

Have a good day ladies.

Morning All

The TD's on, I'm just about to load the WM and then I'd better sort breakfast out before getting dressed. My first PE lessons today - they'll be fun-not- even if I'm with a sports coach - I'm hoping I'll just be able to stand on the sidelines but I've got my PE kit ready to put on this morning!

Dentist tonight after work so I hope that doesn't end up with a big bill.

Catch up with you all later

Have a good day
