    Who let winter in? 160.png

    I've got DD reading her school reading book to me ATM. Forgot all about it, but I did remember her literacy and maths homework :rolleyes: I set all the alarms for this morning about 20 mins early so we can get it done.

    Plan for today:
    • Ebay parcels (when I get back from school)
    • Assignment
      • Q 2.5
      • Part B (1400 word essay :eek: )
    • Ironing (stuff for next few days)
    • Stuff ready for tomorrow.
    • Asda shop (looks like I'll have to book 7pm-9pm for tomorrow and put a note on that I'm out 7.20 until 7.40:rolleyes: )
    I'm sure more will crop up as it inevitably does. Best shift myself. :wave:

    Morning :wave:

    The sun is shining but it's very cold and quite breezy too brrrr glad I'm at work all day to save on heating lol. I've got the WM and the DW on t the mo, made the beds, got littley sorted so she's ready to take to her Dads, packed teenie off to College - hope I hear from the EMA soon - they ****** up (basically lost it) the first form so had to re-do it :rolleyes: It's costing me a fortune.

    Checked bank account online and it's a bit :eek: need to knuckle down and get savings in full flow again they've been a bit depleted as of late. Have to take a bottle of smelly back to Superdrug at some point this week - teenie wants something else but I'd already bought this - that'll teach me :rolleyes: so gonna swap it for the other one.

    Went to book places for a candlelight tour at the roman fort yesterday for 13 December - it was all booked up :eek: we're first reserves so may still get in. Scared myself silly watching M Haunted last night so took a while to get to sleep - I've got one heck of an imagination :D Looking forward to Halloween this week, must put 'buy pumpkin' on the list.

    Glad you all had fun at the meet-up, fab photo - Valli - you look exactly as I'd imagined you, it's quite freaky.

  • greenbee - hope the work situation sorts itself out. The dragon is my mother! we dont get on as I think I have said before but as is proper i will go and spend a few days with her - its a means to an end really - i want to go and spend a few days with my cousin and also my aunt and uncle but if I dont do Mother as well there will be hell to pay! And whats worse is she has no internet!
    sexy - nice to have you back this week - hoope the new job is going well - good luck with the decorating and moving - try not to get too worn out!
    Just a thought but perhaps we could arrange a huge meet somewhere next year during the summer holidays. Somewhere in the middle of everyone, make a whole day out of it, somewhere suitable for kids etc. What do you think?
    TAG I think this is a good idea - i could start saving now!!!!

    toots xx
    Peace will be mine
    could do better - must try harder
    Live each day as if its your last
