    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. :o

    Right, todays plan :
    • Placement 8.55-3.15ish
    • Dishes
    • Tea (something quick and easy, erm..... chicken kievs, mash & veg)
    • DD to Brownies for 6pm, pick up at 7.30
    • Studying
    G&B good luck with the exam!!!

    Best go clean my teeth and stuff so I can try and grab 10 minutes study time. :wave:

    Need to get back to old style in modern ways, watching the pennies and getting stuff done!

    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: .

    I'm loving todays list, thanks Pigpen. Ds1 has made a start already.

    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.

    Anyone fancy a HHC 8.30 - 9? I know it's a bit early for a lot of you but I've been up for hours!

    I have a huge pile of clothes on DD's old bed that needs sorting and putting away so that will probably take up most of my HHC.

    Me and you then holly - let's go!
