    I'm in again, should be an easyish day tomorrow as did the kitchen this weekend so won't need too much work!

    pigpen - hugs for you and your sis and prayers for baby Tabitha
    L-L - all the best for tomorrow

    had a lovely evening with DH, once he'd got over his strop/bad mood (turns out he's worried and stressed about the next lot of exams as a lot more to learn and i think doing so well has put pressure on him in a weird way). We had a nice chinese, the champagne my mum gave us and watched our wedding dvd. lots of fun and happy memories!

    On the flying front, DH has washed up so that's up to date, i've made 2 days of lunches and dinner is ready for tomorrow night.

    My fingernail is now very black and still sore though throbbing less than it was earlier (poss due to the alcohol!). guess there's a chance it's cracked but not sure they'd do much anyway. Bed soon, DH has to be up earlier than usual tomorrow so I might take the chance of going alightly later. Walking about 5 miles otmorrow so fingers crossed for no rain!

    Just been thinking about what's on this coming week, can I give my reasons for non flying now?????

    Monday - GP's to discuss blood test results, this is bound to be low iron count but can't be that low as I gave blood the day after the practise nurse took the test sample! Tax return to complete, CTC people to call and car insurance (due 28th :eek:) to get quotes on. Take Miss A to cubs.

    Tues - Relatively free during the day, tax return, CTC, Car ins (as before!) and then MIL's for tea *see rant below*

    Wed - Ensure car insurance done, finalise tax return and CTC people if not already done (do you see a theme here???) W swimming lesson after school.

    Thurs - work, taking W to beavers taster session after work. Make sure W's pressies wrapped and all together ready for the morning.

    Fri - W's birthday, work, mad panic as W's Godfather arrives tomorrow!

    Sat - Miss A's swimming lesson, The Godfather :rotfl: arrives and then we all go to lunch at t'mucky pub for W's birthday with MIL *see rant*

    Sun - spend time with The Godfather before he leaves in the afternoon, homework ready for school and BREATHE!

    *RANT*

    I want to divorce MIL. As you all know it was DH's birthday last Thurs (which was a work day for me) I have had no messages answerphone, text or proper call from them at all, in fact the last time was Miss A's birthday over a week before in complete and utter contrast to the support you guys and my other friends gave me. Thought to myself (maybe selfishly) I shall wait and see how long before they call. Then I caved in as being W's birthday I needed to get organised as we don't have many free slots due to the above! Rang to set dates/times etc, MIL said 'not sure what SIL is doing next w/e, of she will be able to come' No enquiry to how we had been this last week :mad: Also annoyed that she assumed the invite was for SIL and her family as well (SIL tends to think the world revolves around her and her routine) arrrrrrrrrrrgh

    *Rant off*

    Evening all

    I've been removed from the list:cry: perhaps Pigpen saw the horror that was my house after a week of very little flying!:eek:

    Possibly bad week this week, too, marking exams (at least that should be a nice bit of extra pay :j ) and bfore school revision session for my rural scientists.

    Still, I did nearly the whole house yesterday (because we had visitors last night). Must go sleep - full day tomorrow
    I refuse to enter a battle of wits with an unarmed opponent:rolleyes:
  • Hello - i am in this week :T - I am not very domesticated (hubbie used to do alot but now on my own with 3 children so need to start a routine) so please be kind - i think level 1 only this week. DD wants a friend round for tea on thurs - this is a big event as before i worked till 5 and they never had anyone round - now I finish at 3 so couldn't really say no so need to have DD room under control by thurs!!

    In my new spirit of being organised tonight i have:
    Meal planned the week
    made packups for the morning (normally a 7.30am job)
    ironed uniform for morning ( normally an 8am job!!)
    Set table for breakfast so kids just have to roll out of bed and eat
    got girls to put school bags at bottom of stairs ready for morning
    picked up ds3 toys from front room floor
    SS kitchen surfaces - tbh kitchen lovely at moment as hubbie came over at weekend to see children and cleaned it for me but i have to get in routine so i can do it and still have time for everything else.

    So thats me - i will post to say how i am getting on am really looking forward to being in control - something i have never mastered!! Not sure how to post xmas tree or the lists but i will work it out

    :xmastree: Now found!!!!

    Night

    I shall do rach, needs more than S&S here though :o but I shall not stress about it, what is done is done and what ain't ain't :rotfl:

    Glad the mat arrived, I think they have all arrived now so there should be more shiny ovens out there in flyland from now on ;)

    Oooo Valli, good news Nescafe have debited my cheques, debits dated tomorrow :D (just checked my account) so I should be getting the goodies for my present stash soon :D

    And on that happier note I bid you all good night with a promise to get something done after I have been to the GP's (reminder for myself!!)
