Morning, really grumpy as i'd worked out how much i was due to get paid today and it should have been enough to buy my new washer dryer, but my work havent paid me my holiday pay for when i was off over xmas:mad: They never pay me right and i'm beginning to get really hacked off!

Sorry for the rant first thing but i was so looking forward to ordering it - i'm easily pleased:o

Jill - what a horrible bunch, you're better off out of it.

Right off to get dressed.

Right am going to give it a go! Not been flying to plan the last few days!
Tonite I have to decant everything from the kitchen cupboards as i am having new kitchen cabinet doors and new worktops being fitted tomorrow. Gawd knows where I am going to put everything! So I am going to be without a kitchen all day tomorrow! It'll be nice when its done!
Dont reckon theres any point in cleaning out the cupboards today is there, cos I'll only have to redo them after the workmmen have made their mess!

Tilli-Tot

Well done Somnium and flybabybunting
JillD - leaving is clearly the right thing for you to have done. What a horrible, horrible bunch of people you worked with!
Indigo - you really should eat something before you go to bed.
Christmasshopper - hope you're feeling better soon

Slept really well last night and feel quite chipper this morning. There's a deep, deep frost outside so I'm glad I'm off!

One load of washing already in the machine and I'm on my second cuppa. Already swept the kitchen floor too - but that's only because the dog decided to empty the bin for me!

Morning all..... if someone can find the pure caffeine drip can they pass it this way? I'm shattered today as I couldn't get to sleep until gone 2am I was so wide awake from studying (the 4 cups of coffee properly didn't help either ) but the house is more annoying than being tired so I'm still going to tackle it. Shouldn't take much, its basically hoover & dust through and the kitchen needs cleaning, oh and mop the floors downstairs. I told DD I was having a 'flinging Friday' and I was going to declutter her room, her reaction was :eek: until I pointed out it was going to be the cupboard of no return in her room then she let out a big 'phew' :rotfl::rotfl:

So my list for today:

Personal :

• Time sheet in
• Shopping
  • Holland & Barratt (only for tea-tree oil, blinkers will have to be applied when I go in there )
  • Bubblewrap

• Phonecalls :
  • Doctors for appointment next Mon or Fri. I am not attempting an after school one again
  • Phone plumber to arrange gas safety check (should have been done before Xmas but I've been too busy):o
• Ebay listings
  • Harry Potter swaps from yesterday (there are loads :eek: it gets harder and harder to fill these albums!)
  • Stuff not currently listed if I have time.
  • Package sold items (DD has sold 5 lots of stickers since New Year, and I'm selling 3 items ATM which didn't sell before Xmas on the previous 2 listings )
• Also to do but not ongoing today:
  • NVQ paperwork
    • Knowledge questions for units 001, 002, 003, 004, 005, 009, 016

Right, photocopying.... :wave:

Morning all! Well according to weather website thingy it's -8 and foggy (well the foggy bit I got from looking outside!!)

I am up, slow cooker is on and I am ready to go (once I get out of my really warm pyjamas and slippers!!)

I made the stupid mistake of getting on the scales this morning. Something I haven't done since I was 8 weeks pregnant.....If that's all baby then it would appear that I'm having a 5 year old!!!

JillD - once the baby is born please can I join your weight loss challenge thingy...won't be for a couple of weeks though

Also....although your old work people have been evil, at least it meant that you knew your decision was the right one in the end. Life is too short to be spending time with people like that and not with your little ones.

Off to get dressed now and will bring down bedding from spare room for washing

Morning everyone - a special hello to all the other OU'ers out there !

Well today I need to

1) Finish my OU assignment. Have a tutorial tomorrow so will hand it in to the tutor then.

2) Clear the dining room table. I use it as my desk for study and I can't see the surface of it !!

3) Plan meals for the next week. Not going food shopping till next Thursday if I can manage that long so need to look at fridge/store cupboard

4) Make a nice soup out of random items in fridge. Got 1 leek, 2 carrots, 2 potatoes and an onion. I hate soup with 'bits in', so need to make a smooth veg soup out of this. Never made soup before in my life.

5) Finish clearing bedroom floor up and Dyson it and the landing.

Speak to you all later

Good morning everyone :beer: DS has managed to spill a small amount of olive oil onto the kitchen floor. He's mopped up the worst, but it's still a bit slippy, so another job to add to the list :rolleyes:

I made a huuuuuuuge batch of HG onion soup yesterday (with HM goose stock) for today's lunch, and have started a batch of bread to go with it. I'll put a cake and a batch of buns in, too

Off to tackle my utensil drawer - I've washed the drawer organsier that's in there, but need to take a hard look at its contents and declutter

See you all later, Penny. x
