Mudbath - big hugs for you and yours.
Dusty - I am excited about the census too, but going to wait a few days as I don't have time to get sucked in now. House history rather than family history.

Just back from work, not much done yet but the kitchen is S&S, DW is on and some jacket pots in the oven. Really must drag my weary backside off the sofa and do something.

Oh I am so glad it's not just me who got excited when they heard that news! But I'm like you - until I've got time to do it properly (and a tidy house!) I'm not going to start looking again!

Managed 2 hours of my new course - it makes loads of references to the grammar book that I haven't got yet - it really annoys me that they change the grammar books/dictionaries for each continual course then refer to specific pages - they all contain the same stuff - just pick 1 and stick to it - we don't all live on lecturers money! (sorry rant over...)

Off to empty WM, reload and sling on the dinner - think i'll have turkey curry for tea as CBA to go to shops today so have decided to shop from my cupboards instead

Triker... I have painkillers and his revoltingness is going out about 8 ish.. if you need an hour or 4 off??

Box of treats posted off to little cousins in Germany.. and the ebay package has gone.

I HAVE to load the washing machines and TD and I have a bit of folding to do too.

I have no idea what is being concocted for dinner.. I am starving and just want to sleep..

Hubby has gone to see if he can repair GMIL's electric chair as it isn't working and she needs tipping out. So I am left home alone with the children again.. I so feel like a single parent.

I offered to have the daughter of one of my fellow students if she has trouble getting a sitter.. her daughter is 9 so will be fine fitting in with my brood.. Or if it is a night we are both in college she can come stay here with hubby and my brood I'm sure htey'll get along sure enough. I also.. probably an insane thing to say but her 2 sons are much older, 1 is in the army and the other is moving out and the uni she is going to is out of town.. I said her daughter can come here after school once she gets to uni if she wants. She doesn't have any family as such and if it means she can get through uni it is worth it.. it's only 2 years so not too drastic.. and I usually end up with extras anyway!

I'm also in college all day tomorrow assisting another fellow student with her assignments.. she was off sick and got a bit behind so now I'm dragging her back.. I am just mean I know... and I think we have an exam tomorrow.. I can't remember.. think it is though..
