Morning all

(((KC)))) - I'm sorry you had bad night - I hope you little uns feel better soon - as JW said I don't know how you lovely people cope with kids on 3.5hrs sleep

Had a crappy nights sleep also - due to the fact OH didn't phone before I went to sleep (he always does just to say goodnight - I dont usually let it bother me as I know that you can't stop in the middle of a firecall to say goodnight but after what happened yesterday to one of his colleagues I was feeling a little upset) Edit - spoke to him this morning - it seems the driver of the other car who is in hospital is a fireman's son who he worked with at another station

DW is on (reduced to half tablet - tried the soap powder on Friday but it didnt work - may need to put a little more than half a teaspoon in.

Got forklift course at work today - test this afternoon - brickin' it

B - cereal and HM biscuits
L - provided by work
D - chicken and spicy pasta n veg - all made ready to heat in micro

Budget to be done tonight - shopping list to be done based on freezer contents and cupboard contents

Snowy Owl - good luck with your exams today - same to Holstar and Dorry - not sure if you have exams

PP - did you notice that you Sky + may have changed

have a great day all

Love

Morning Everyone

Hugs to those who haven't slept well or just need one

Had my training session last night, and came away really downhearted. We're very much beginners in distance running (I'm was a sprinter at school) and so not up to the standard of everyone else. We asked what would be a good time for us and we were told anything. Which was really encouraging - not! I prefer training alone I think, at least I can go at my own pace and not feel under pressure to keep up with people who run distances on a regular basis

At work, where I've got loads to do. Had some praise as I got us mentioned in one of the local papers.

I'm so tired. Been asked if I'd like some time off, but I can't leave two freelancers who don't know the station here by themselves. So I'm going to wait till my colleague comes back in April. I'll be fine

Going to get some food now

Oh and I've lost another pound, so I weigh less than 11 stone now!!!:j

Morning

Went to bed at around 10.30 last night which was early for me, and had a fairly decent sleep so I dont feel as devastated as I did yesterday. (those with kids, I dont know how you do it! 3.5hours is just too little!). Hm jam on hm bread for brekkie (im still loving it!) and lunch will be a beef hotpot i prepared and froze last week in advance of needing lunches - clever) and dinner this evening is still undecided. I need to start getting the slow cooker out and use it in the week.

my indoor garden I planted last friday is looking good already, spinach and rocket are already on show and are growing massively fast so thats pleasing. All direct debits have been paid (checked online banking!) and not overdrawn, and pay day is friday so thats pleasing. All in all, things are good I spose!

Ill have my tea then get ready for work....
Have a good day all!

Morning all,

O/h packed off to work so now its just the kids to get sorted, there is movement upstairs from DS but DD is still in land of nod.

Need to pop into town for a few supplies after dropping DD off at pre-school this morning so will prob have a good scout around whilst there. Haven't really managed to get any bargains in the sale this year just wrapping paper and cards. :mad:

Hope everyone feels a little better later, have a peaceful day and take care,

Ice.

Morning all....

Haven't posted on here for ages, but read everyday....
Kixichick, try and put your feet up a bit today, videos for the children are a great idea on a day like this :rolleyes:

My OH is off today. He's going out for a bit this morning, which I'm really looking forward to. He's been working from home since well before Christmas and as much as I love him I really like my own space.
So I think I'm going to use that time to just chill

Got to do a bit of general cleaning today. Though also need to sort through some stuff for ebay...I'm a bit nervous about getting it done, don't know why

So
breakfast: cereal
lunch:sandwhich of some sort, maybe bacon
tea: chilli

Hope everyone has a good day

Not read the thread through yet (will do that at lunch time as I need to get DD ready for school now) - rather scared that I've woken up in a "Got to get the house clean and tidy" mood so I'm not going to risk loosing the momentum by having a cup of tea and computer time when I've dropped DD off at school, I'm going to set too then I can spend lunch/this afternoon on the computer sorting out the piles of paperwork that have appeared again!
