julie - well done, I need to get down to it, am totally unmotivated despite ballooning and all i want to do is eat!
froddy - thanks, and good vibes for your colleague, quite a shock i'm sure
mudbath - good luck

am gutted, found some old hot choc in cupboard and made myself one but its out of date and gross. DH offered to go to spar and get some but i said not to bother.

Thought i would do a proper list strike seems though i have had a good day at it. I should also mention that the computer stopped working for a few hours and that (in dh's opinion) is what made me fly. I think it was the realisation that i will be doing ds1 a birthday party in 6 weeks, and easier toi gut now then try to keep on top of it. Also the burst of energy from the 3 pieces of cake i have eaten today. :eek:

Will post now, then catch up on you lot, then go and do a bit of ironing. that's my evening planned then.

And, i have started planning Charlie's birthday party - it is going to be a thomas the tank engine party to go with the train cake i will make, so i just ordered some invites/balloon/plates/goodie bags from ebay. That will be paid for with the money for the stuff i have just sold, and now i just need to pay once the guy sends me an invoice with combined postage - go me.
Also spoke to MIL and made plans for entertaining the boys on Saturday when DH is on a stag do all day from 9am. I said i will have to have an equivalent day to myself when not BF anymore. A whole day away would leave me in agony at the moment.

Dinner done.
News watched (still depressing!)
Thread caught up with.

Rach - I looked at the just giving site but it said your personal details are passed on to the charity. I don't want that. Is there anyway I can get a £20 note to you anonymously if you complete the walk on Friday night? (Best of luck by the way!)

today someone on my bank of desks left 2 mobiles at his desk which rang awful tunes incessantly for half an hour!

I've had that before and what I've done is just reached over and switched them off Unfortunately you can't find the 'switch off' button on humans that wander in!

Right, I think I just ought to go to bed and try and sleep this depression off. Maybe it's the full moon getting me all maudlin....

Evening ladies!

What a lot of upsets and hugs needed today - hadn't realised it was full moon but that explains a lot with my work too - all female environment - sure it's the hormones - especially our Head R Teacher - needs something to keep her sane and the rest of us too - why oh why can colleagues never do the sensible thing and leave us poor admin staff to pick up the pieces after inferring it was our fault anyway?? I only work 18 hours a week but at the moment I'm there another 20 - 30 mins a day - but of course can't claim overtime - not on an education budget! All will settle down as term progresses but for now I'm stressed and can't fly as well! Went for a cuppa with mum today just to have some adult conversation - so no flying after work and tomorrow need to go to the gym too - have to get back to that routine as I've lost loads of fitness over the summer when I couldn't get with the kids at home. what a whinge - I'll stop now!!

I have managed to tidy and S & S each morning - done 2 loads of WM - and dried on the line - so glad I'm not Pigpen - how do you cope! DW each day too. Rustled up leftover pork tea yesterday and hoovered all through the house. Drained pool thoroughly -still need to clean and dry before stowing away. Still need to get to the recycling centre but htat will be a Friday job. Need to dust and clean cupboards in kitchen and lounge, table wiped down. Packed lunches to be finished for tomorrow - breakfast stuff to put out - will get DS to do that before he goes to bed! Must glue insoles into his shoes tonight too!!
Well what a long post - will keep reading what I can but hugs to all even if I don't keep up with all your doings.;)

Thanks Soappie, that's lovely. I'll check that out (I didn't create this page but DH is a charity finance guy and did one for our wedding when we had charity donations so I'll check with him). I know you can definitely make sure the charity doesn't get in touch with you after, but the money does go straight to them so i guess they might get some details. I will PM you my address as I have a sponsor form too for money people have just handed to me!

pigpen

Kaz... sounds like there'll be some shenanigans under your covers tonight... pmsl.. you elbowing him and him grumbling and stropping is where my money is going..

Uniforms, shower and pub for me tonight... college at 9am so hubby taking the tiddlies off to school... HAHAHA!!

Where did I leave my list???

*wanders off to locate list*

diva - huge big hugs to you, that is such a difficult situation. I think you'll just have to love the ones nearest to you, and let them love you back loads.

ssl - good to hear from you, loads of luck!

soappie - hope the sun shines for you tomorrow!

michelle - you've done fantastically well today - I never did anything except emergency cleaning until my three were at secondary school...:o

froddington - good wishes to you and your colleague.

I had a very enjoyable hour and a half on the allotment this afternoon, although the forecast sun didn't materialise. I really do need to spend more time outside when I'm not working! Managed to weed a whole bed, and transplanted some baby lettuce plants to fill in gaps in the row. I'll do another bed tomorrow if the weather stays dry.
