Well I feel like I have nothing all week and I feel like a total hypocrite being here.. and leading the thread I feel even worse... like.. a bit fat fraud. (I need another dose of 'get a grip'... one sec.. *gulp*)

I'll go pay a bill it might make me feel better.. and I have the boots christmas books to look through so I'll go browse those in a minute..

I think I will feel better for having half term off college..

Bed time routines need doing.. suppose it all heads in the right direction.. I never got anything done I wanted to this afternoon.. I'll go find a list.. and sort one for tomorrow I think.. and I need to find the vacuum cleaner..

Pigpen, I got a bit like you are when I was in a job I hated - everything was wrong, nothing went right, I couldn't function properly, etc... It basically just got me down and everything was a hassle and I hated everyone (well, you know what I mean).
Is it because you are doing the course that you really don't want to but have to do? I know you're not enjoying it, and I would imagine having it waste your time when you obviously could be doing other stuff is getting to you?

I don't think you need to get a grip, but like you say, with the half term coming up and you making a choice of where you want to go next, you will have something to look forward to so that might help.

I'm rambling, but hope you get the gist of what I mean (I have trouble understanding myself sometimes)...

And no, YOUR lists don't get any shorter - now you know how we feel :rotfl:

lil_me

Oh P.S. I didnt stick his toes together deliberately, he'd cut his foot and I never thought to cover the toes :rotfl: he was like a little duck

Pigpen, running a house of 10 I am sure you've not done nothing, the clothes don't clean themselves and the food doesn't cook itself! How you do it all and college I don't know! Oh Boots Christmas book, I like those!

Argh that's reminded me, presents, I need to go get Matthew's birthday present aswell tomorrow. Going to get him a sand/water play table, he's a bit little yet but no birthday/xmas mid year and he has about everything else he needs now, his Mam can put it away for him. Got him some cute clothes too, inc Thomas PJs and fleece as he likes Thomas end up spending more on him than I do on my own :rotfl: but at least it's not cluttering my house

Sat drinking my non OS indulgence, Oasis, I know it's full of crap but I love the stuff my occasional treat! At least it's got no caffiene in, yes Rach I'm trying to reduce my intake too. I need to add my Netto spends onto my GC target, knew there was something I frogot. I have transfered the money about I was supposed to do on Monday

Oh I got something else today, distance monitor things. You get one for the child and one for the parent, then set the distance between 5 and 50 metres, the alarm goes off if they get past the distance set, got them in Netto (got one for Matthew's Mam too as I think they're a great idea) see if it helps with my escape artist kids, especially when we're shopping and when we are away as they wander, a lot. Definately use them when we go to Flamingo land in a few weeks too.

Right, bed time me thinks, starting to yawn now, good night all xxx

Evening ladies

Been a beautiful day here and I was stuck in at work in an office which gets very light light and certainly no sunlight

I’ve given everyone the night off as tea’s all cleared away and the bathrooms not looking too bad, only needs a quick swish and swipe and it will mean I get to relax a little earlier and catch up with you ladies (which I will reply to as I go along).

Hippy110 – last night with OH wasn’t a one off, he sat at the table with the laptop ALL day Sunday while I fed the WM, TD and oven ALL day!

Likklegibbon – that’s an insane time to go to bed

TAG – I think we have OH twins. I laughed at you with the flying when you are angry, you should have seen me last night with the oven shelves banging them then scrubbing them in anger

Poohbear – hello, nice to see you back

Michelle – hugs for your horribly early start and exhaust troubles

Toots – OH wont wear me down (well not this week anyway as I’m in ogre mode)

Polka – well done on cutting down

Hex – thanks for the hugs

Christmasshopper – well done, the small things soon add up. Oops maybe not

Bit delayed now as OH had to set up the new computer and me being on the net was slowing him down!!!


Healing vibes for peeps with poorly little ones, lilysue, polka,

Dusty – thanks for the message about vanilla, funny how you miss people, talking of which anyone seen JillD lately. Sending healing vibes for DS

Zed – Chocolate Fudge pudding sounds devine, recipe would be lovely

Pigpen – what a fantastic shopping trip, wow do we all need to take lessons from you

Lilme – I’ve found aol has been rubbish lately, always logging off and taking an age to get back on

Juliejim – well done on the weight loss

Rach – re the shampoo (and I’m not really up on the ingredients etc they just say theyre natural which is good enough for me) but I use Lush “Big”, it is brilliant and since I have been using it everyone comments on my hair and I have not had to use conditioner to stop it being flyaway.

To everyone who has been flying a massive well done, to everyone who hasn’t it doesn’t matter you have been doing something important – like getting on with your life even if it only taking time out to relax.

Hugs and hellos’ to anyone who needs them

Kaz x

Now off to take a peak at Lush online as the Christmas stuff was out on Saturday (good job I went in on Friday!)
