    This sites slow, so is AOL and yahoo is completely to pot for my freecycle stuff, grump! In fact this site I've had the 'sorry there is a glitch' message 3 times now.

    Right, back from exam, went terribly I'm afraid :( anyway, took some of my own advice and went to the regional centre on the way home as the courses are starting to bore me senseless, wanted to know what I can do instead. Anyway discussed it with a student advisor and decided I'm going to do an OPEN degree, as is DP, this way we can choose to study things we enjoy and want to learn more about. I am considering child development style ones, he's picked some randomness to possibly do, but taking my own advice of doing something I enjoy instead.
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    Trouble is it is nice and sunny outside and there is so much that needs doing in the garden where I would much rather be. Does weeding count as flying?
    I couldn't get out in the sunshine much today so it will be on my list for tomorrow
    By George she's got it! :j
    my son had to say that once in a school play:rotfl: :rotfl:

    Lil_me I hope your exam went well and that the perfect parking space was waiting for you.

    Tag you could be a granny at 40 then:rotfl:

    Lilysue I hope your DS is feeling better now

    Kazw lots of people are finding the site slow - there is a thread I was looking at yesterday, could be due to all the icelandic financial turmoil added to the regular financial turmoil

    Zed I hope the pud turns out delicious

    Polka hope the little one gets better soon

    Serena love the new avatar

    Holly have you had your '3' problems with your car now, hugs hun

    Mudbath - getting better with the MBTs thanks

    Helped in school which pleased DS3 and his TA is lovely. He is at a friends for tea so I'm going to try to do a few bits off my list, get the washing in and find the clean bed linen for the kids beds.

    HHC at 2.30 anyone?

    I have the afternoon off so I am here.

    4. [/strike]
    This all took longer than half an hour because I washed the breakfast and luch pots, dried them and put them away, cleaned ALL the upstairs windows, brought washing in and ironed it all, although there is some drying on the line, mopped the kitchen floor (with the water that I then used for bathroom) vacuumed through dining room and hallway too, put out clean towels in bathroom and emptied the washer filter! AND I cleaned the living room to level three including wiping up a suspicious looking blob under one of the sofas which, on closer inspection, proved to be a dropped boiled sweet which had absorbed water from being left out and turned into a soggy blob.
    I stopped at 4.20 when I took DD dancing!

    Right now I am coffee-n-pc.gif and I think I deserve it! Just waiting for my doggybiccie then I have something to dunk!

    And for good measure today.. DD4 has come home with bugs.. AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!! She appears to have had a good day with her insoles in and is walking better.. even though she has fallen over and grazed her knee and wrecked her tights.. good job they were old ones!!

    Nursery said they have had trouble with DD5 in PE today as she is so floppy she was struggling with some of the activities.. they asked if there was anything they could do to support her which I thought was good.. asking for ideas of things to do as group activities to help my daughter is grand.. :D

    Dinner in.. cuppa needed.. and I must get these shoes off.. I am currently stretching my super wide evans shoes so they are wide enough for my feetsies... Why can I not have normal feet that fit in proper shoes?? The teacher at nursery was saying she buys hers from clarks.. I said to buy clarks I have to get 1.5 sizes BIGGER than I measure!!!
