  • Started my disk defrag @ 2pm and its still only done 26%!!! Think i'll have to leave it running when I go out which isn't ideal.

    I'm not that hungry so the cannelloni can wait for another night - i'll just make DH some chops instead.

    Any takers for a HHC/HHI at 5-5.30?
    I'd rather be watching CSI!

    Yuck my hair is all matted and ick from plaster dust!

    Well we started doing the lounge, but then decided when the children came home to go to B&Q to get some boxes so I can start sorting and labling the basement so stuff can be taken downstairs. Now the lounge is a mess and in an hour we're off to see the fireworks!
    Fluttering about an inch off the ground, I may fly properly one day and soar in the clouds!

    what ever happened to separating the bad kids and excluding them!!

    Unfortunately that is getting more and more difficult these days. Often even after trying to exclude kids permanently, Heads are told they have to accept the child back in school.
    We don't need to do it perfectly - good enough is exactly that GOOD ENOUGH.

    Got to school today, and was met by what I can only describe as 'a wall of staff' :D They'd had a really difficult day with DD3. She'd been pretty off the wall all day.... Pretty manic, and refusing to do anything, and tearful when she was naughty and she'd been naughty, very naughty!). *ahem* *cough cough* Sorry teachers... Guess who forgot to give DD3 her ADHD meds this morning?! *cough cough* bad mummy!! :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

    Well, if they were in any doubt that the condition is real... today has quashed that!! :rotfl: and in the nicest possible way... "welcome to my world" :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:
