    Morninggggggggggggggggg..........

    DPs took DS2 to school on his way to the garage so I could grab a shower to try to wake myself up, need to go quickly dry my hair then walk them round there. I can't take them in the car because DPs put Megan's ramp in the caravan, grrrr, he knows she can't get in the car without it, what if I need to take her to the vets which is 12 mile away!!! oh dear not even midday and I am moaning :o

    Right, must dash, or they will be late, toodles!!!
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    My house is all dusty because I didn't have a chance to do much last week - family visiting and children off - so I've a lot to catch up on!

    Apart from the usual houseworky things I NEED to finish my patchwork bag for next Saturday - or at least make a good go at it. I didn't get to do anything with it last week.

    Tonight I'm starting a four week meditation course, and on Tuesdays I have yoga, so I should be really chilled out this week :rotfl:

    I saw this http://www.thepizzamaker.co.uk/ in the window of a local shop yesterday. I [strike]want one[/strike] [strike]need one[/strike] HAVE to get one. :D

    I'm convinced I have got gremlins 8.giffollowing me around, last week I lost one of my memory sticks, (they normally live in a small pocket in my handbag) I turned that handbag right out, it wasn’t there.

    Today, I thought I would use the other memory stick, and lo and behold the missing one is just sitting there in the small pocket! Grrrrrrrrrr

    Also I ‘lost’ on my computer some information I ‘carefully’ saved, I hunted right and low for 3 hours or so for that as well, and guess what I have found this morning, the ‘missing’ information

    Something odd is going on.

    DD forgot its toy afternoon today :mad: Apparently, they get marbles for working hard as a class, and when they get so many they get a treat. They've reached the target to bring toys from home to play with for an hour or so but DD forgot with going away :rolleyes: She's just got upset that she hasn't taken a toy in, so I promised I'd go back around to school at 10.30 (or sometime before 10.45) and take her some Barbie dolls/clothes/shoes bitty things :rolleyes: They're bagged and ready to go. Last thing I need is her getting worked up when she's feeling "fleh" as she'll make herself sick.

    Right, I have an hour - best study :wave:
