    Bah I'm miserable. Mr G was supposed to be working 7-2pm but he's still at work and probably will still be at work at 5pm when I'm supposed to be going out! So now I need to try and get hold of my parents to babysit, it's just a pain.

    Bit late but will join you, want to get some washing hung out and the dinner cooking.
    Fluttering about an inch off the ground, I may fly properly one day and soar in the clouds!

    Hello all, course went well this morning but while I was out DS2 was sent home from school poorly, he had been sick in the night but I pressumed from coughing, he's got a squiffy tummy to say the least.........ewww! DP had some guts about him for a change, instead of asking me to get him as I was on the course picked him up himself (he was in but wouldn't usually have done that) and took him to his dentist appointment with him (unheard of!) I've started feel a little 'off' aswell so looks like the bug we thought we'd missed is here, darn!

    AnW'sMum I did a spreadsheet for the same reason, I have much less bought than you but more than I realised aswell.

    Anyway, housework, well being on the course wiped out until after 1.30pm, have done some stuff since (not much choice got 'soiled' clothes and linen to get washed. Have reorganised some space and realised my stock of flour goes out of date in December so need to use it and stop buying bread! I've been in touch with some support groups about getting more info for parents on the course I am on, they are unfortunately a huge number of parents who have little/no info on support groups, help available etc etc so I'm on another mission!

    This evening will be me trying to catch up some more. I need to get the kitchen I have started finished, the reorganising and seeing what I do have being the most important! Hope everyone is ok, hugs where needed, actually no you can all have one like it or not because you are lovely (but I will keep the germs mask on)
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:
