Morning all. Heating on here as its so cold. I'm shattered. It was gone 1am when I headed for bed and I was awake at 6am. Assignment isn't finished so I'm going to have to work on it now (once I've finished getting ready for placement) and at break and lunch time :rolleyes: Then a mad dash tonight to get it finished and printed out etc to post tomorrow lunchtime. Whatever is done by 9pm tonight will have to do.
Right, todays plan :- Placement 8.55-3.15ish
- Dishes

Hi
I haven't caught up as OH stayed over last night and i couldn't get on, i probably won't be able to catch up until tonight either as Ds2 won't stay in his room.:rolleyes:
I;m going to have to get a super duper gate that DS2 can't open as he woke at 3 this morning then wouldn't go back to sleep. He opened his gate and came in with us where he kept us awake most of the night and then woke us up at 6.30 by headbutting me in the nose:mad: . I would have just kept putting him back in his own room and letting him cry but i'm worried about disturbing the neighbours. They complained the other day about him having a paddy when i put him on the naughty step, this was late morning:rolleyes: .

Okay I've filled a bin bag full of clothes out of DD's bedroom so that can go across the road later. Also filled the laundry basket with bits and pieces so better get the WM on.

I've just logged in to my bank account to shift tax credit and now I have my bank account is in credit for the first time since *looks at her bank statements* September 2007 :j:j:j Just a pity I know I have a £88 payment coming out tomorrow, not to mention bills around about Saturday, and I'll need cash for catalogue orders I've put in
Also noticed they haven't gotten rid of my overdraft, its still at £2500
But my credit card doesn't look quite so healthy with only £330 available on it
Oh well, I best go clean my teeth. :wave:
