Ticklemouse

Morning snowy, morning everyone else :wave:

My turn to get the brekkies today. DS1 however has decided to camp at my right shoulder blade, which I always find very disconcerting Why can't he go and eat his cereal and let me wake up in peace?

Ended up getting most of the last bits and pieces yesterday. Went to Lidl and stocked up on the 'nibbles' and soft drinks. Just need to source the cheapest supplier od Diet Coke (MIL won'tdrink anything else) and we're away. Will do a full reccy of the freezers and cupboards later and compile a list of things I must get. Can't be doing with finding no cranberry on the Xmas table That will take up lots of the day I expect as I'll give the cupboard a clean while I'm at it. Also need to start deep cleaning some rooms as I want to vax the carpets before we put the tree up (it's not going up till next weekend)

Other than that, Mr TM is out with his cadets again (made over £400 yesterday) so I shall be entertaining the boys too. It's too dark still to see what the weather is like, but we may venture for a walk in the woods.

Other than that, mammoth pile of ironing to do (will wait until tonight) but still 1 load in WM,1 in TD and 2 or 3 left to do And windows - may even get those cleaned cos the boys can help :xmassmile

OK, off to drink my :coffee: and have a surf.

See ya later,
TM

Morning Guys!

I know how you feel snowy, I used to get really stressed out by studying too. Are you doing an Open University course by any chance? I found the best thing to do when I was stressed by it was to tell a tutor as they are usually really good and support you in any way they can. My tutors were excellent both in the OU and at full time uni, they gave me 1 to 1 time and went through things I needed help with, and got an extension on the deadlines where necessary.


I woke up quite early this morning as the cat was prodding me and meowing, im sure she knows my routine now and the sunday must confuse her! I tidied up like I intended to and got the tree up so I could see what I need still, and the tree is awesome! The cat has been booked in at the vets for the 21st for her spaying and that is stressing me out a little as Im nervous as to how she will be and hope that nothing goes wrong. she is currently kneading my stomach and purring and Im going to send her for an operation - im feeling mega guilty!

Today we are off to the Bath xmas market and then to Dyrham Park as they have got some xmas things going on and I feel like I need to get festive today. Home made pizza's for dinner tonight as the boyf decided he wanted hm burgers instead last night. id better wake him up soon actually as I dont want him to sleep all day and i dont want to end up sitting in masses of traffic to get over there.

I think Ill have another tea first though!

Morning all,

Just woke up and am getting my DD ready for her Beaver Scout Christmas Church Parade...she's in the bath and I'm just here trying to wake up. Had a really long day yesterday and am work again this pm so trying to take things easy...

Breakfast- may be scrambled eggs or may just pop out to local cafe where two brekkies cost about £8 (treat for DH and I).

Lunch - Sandwiches

Dinner - Either Ready Meal or Sandwiches/Soup at work.

Have a good day.

You just reminded me, between you, talking about about meal plans...

..after pretty much emptying my freezer and using up all the things I never really fancied much I'm finally going to get the treat I saved 'til last. My last portion of Curry Queen's World Famous Sauce needs defrosting!

I'm going to be busy for a while because I might just sit there and watch it

Morning All

No prizes for guessing I'm at work. It's so cold here. Had a fairly decent night's sleep last night, better than that of late anyway

Got to get family chrimbo cards today and see if my new debit card works.

Jobs for later include writing remaining cards to send via post and wrap up some presents

Hope everyone's ok

elona

Feeling really cheerful at the moment.

We finished marking all the exam papers yesterday and tomorrow DH is back at work !!!!! DD is also at work and her sisters are at school.

For the first time in over a month I will have the house to myself and some peace and quiet!!!!:snow_laug :j :j

Having a late Sunday lunch at 4pm so have time to help DD if needed.

Just to let you all know i wont be around for a wee while, so no one panic and think ive fallen off the face of the earth.

I might occasionally read until im sorted but i dont know.

If anyone actually wants to know whats happened im sure if you ask squeaky nicely he will tell you.

Take care all you lovely OS-ers and i will see you soon.

Morning all,

The surprise party was good last night, and we got home about 1am. Got up about an hour ago and have just lounged around reading.

At 11.30 we are leaving to go for OH's aunt's 60th meal in a pub in a village. Should be nice. We are all paying for our own meals so hopefully won't be too expensive. After meal we will go back to OH's parents for the afternoon.

Haven't got too much to do today, all clothes have been washed and are drying, kitchen in clean, and the hoovering really doesn't look like it needs doing, I know lots of people hoover most days but as it's only me and OH who work FT, have no pets it really doesn't get too dirty so if I leave it till next weekend shouldn't be a problem.

Tonight I might try to plan next week's slimming class schedule so I don't have to worry about it during the week.

Really ought to get my butt into gear, had a shower last night so will just have a quick wash and straighten my hair so it looks semi-ok, and find something to wear!

Have a good day all.

I don't want to pry but just want to say that I hope things get better soon and that a lot of us will be thinking of you.

Ancasta, I agree with Elona! Don't stay away too long, we miss you when you're not around. Best wishes with whatever you're up to.
