    Morning folks

    Clean up again this morning, I just don't understand how so many bits can get on the kitchen floor and it need sweeping at least 3 time each day........

    This weekend I am home alone and just with 2 cats so I will be able to test the theory it is not them or me making the bits.!!

    When they all get back on Monday evening, I will know who to issue kitchen floor sweeping duties to!!

    Going to have a major flying session Saturday morning, as I have been lazy all week, and there will be no one in my way!!

    Hugs to those that need them

    PPI Party Pooper
    Morning all, no uni today as i have no afterschool care for LO, may pop in on my way to work though as i need to print some stuff off.

    Took LO to school and when we arrived headmaster was standing outside and directing us all through the side gate as the front gates of the school and surrounding area was covered in police tape! School opens right onto a large park and apparently someone has been raped:( Loads of police officers/cars about. Hope they get who did it, everyone was quite shaken by it.

    Currently on hold to the student loan company, have been on hold for 17 mins so far:eek: May go and start my ironing, while i wait for them to answer:rolleyes:
