    I pledge to take the kids to school in my clothes tomorrow morning!!!

    Difficult to plan at the moment as I feel so awful, v tired but when I lay flat I keep coughing, thought I might try some alcohol, as it might supress the cough...what about chocolate does tha help???

    Must do by Friday wrap up neices bday pressie and make the family a Christmas card and wrap up 4 christmas presents. Sister in law coming to collect nephew from uni so I need to have everything ready so I'll save postage and they'll get their pressies for Chrimbo!!

    I pledge that by 10pm tomorrow night
    I will have started and hopefully completed Assignment 1
    And I will have added bows and ribbons to presents already wrapped
    and i will wrap OH's kids presents so that they can be posted in time (not sure of the deadline for posting eek)
    Love is the answer. At least for most of the questions in my heart,
    Like why are we here? And where do we go?And how come it's so hard?
    It's not always easy,And sometimes life can be deceiving,
    I'll tell you one thing, its always better when we're together

    Well uni assignment I can probably do in a day - just a case of tweaking
    Bows and ribbons - Ill do whilst watching Home and Away and Hollyoaks tomorrow.
    Wrapping the ohs kids presents - wont take 5 mins

    the Assignment could be my downfall but Ive pledged it so ill have a bash anyway
