    think you need some honey to soothe your tubes? or suck some throat pastilles?

    One of the cats was sitting looking at me over the kitchen table when there were flames leaping all over my kitchen!! stupid animal!! I threw him out when shrieking at the children to get out!!

    hope the children are ok and dont have nightmares - or you either for that!

    Another session completed but its mind-boggling boring for me and I'm nearly falling asleep so I'm going to give in and go to bed. :o

    Just thought I'd post this for those of you who aren't on my facebook friends list. I saw this on a Teaching Assistants website and was quite impressed.

    http://www.recyclenow.com/what_can_i_do_today/furoshiki_japanese_w.html

    To quote the website :
    Furoshiki is a fun and creative style of gift wrapping using a large piece of cloth to create elegant looking presents. The good news is, when the present is unwrapped there’s nothing to be thrown away!
    Now I'm going to answer this question on Voice over IP then I'm going to bed....
    Creeping back in for accountability after falling off the wagon in 2016.
    Need to get back to old style in modern ways, watching the pennies and getting stuff done!

    AND............You know the craziness of my life.. weeeeeeeeeelllll
















































    We just had 2 pumps of firemen running all over my house putting out fire....

    DS2 made toast, didn't switch off the grill and set my kitchen alight...

    Oh the fun!!!

    Yes everyone is fine.. the paramedic said so.. other than I have smoke inhalation



    Good god woman why didn't you say, you could have decamped here with everyone whilst I [STRIKE]gazed at the firemen[/STRIKE] inspected the damage.

    Triker hun... There is nothing good about a man with too many pockets and a shiny helmet! Am I one of those people who tends not to do things in moderation??

    What calamity can befall us next week I wonder...

    I have taken to laughing my toots off about it now.. DS2 was really funny... but he has lost it now.. he is twitching like he is being electrocuted.. I wish OT could see him like this!

    I have decided in the morning I am taking DS3 into the heads office when we very first get to school.. she will decapitate these little gits at school or else die of boredom with me taking him in and reporting EVERYTHING.. DS is also under instruction to go knock on her office door if the lunchtime staff do not help him when he reports incidents to them.. He told me earlier he lied and said he got confused over the swearing incident because he was frightened the little beach would hurt him!!!!!! I was astounded and told him off for lying.. I said no matter what he does, he must ALWAYS tell the truth because if people think you are a liar they will never believe a word you say.. I just hope he will tell the head about todays incident while I am there.

    Well I don't know what to say really, 'bout the fire and stuff. I'm a bit shocked tbh.

    Just glad you're all ok and kiddles and puddys and everyone is well and fine ish.
