    Morning all

    Nice to see you posting again phil, good luck with parents evening tonight. I would be tempted to say very politely that you are there to discuss the boys and their progress and not your personal situation ;) Hope the union have positive news for you and things can finally move on.

    Wooohooo 83rachel on getting the keys, always exciting getting a new place :)

    Not sure how much will get done here as I have to got to Morrisons and MIL's with her camera and a case they may want to borrow. Also want to go and see DH.

    Toots and Jo hope you have a great time today.

    Have a good day all x

    ETA don't forget it's April Fools Day ;)

    Didn't have a good evening yesterday. :(
    When I got home from work I found that my dog - Max must have had a fit in his cage (he's epileptic) and my clean kitchen floor was filthy again. He then went on to have another two fits so we had to rush him to the vets, where he had another one so they've kept him in. I have to phone in a bit so see how he's doing and when he can come home again.
    So of course this didn't leave me much time to fly before going back to work for the evening.
    On top of all this I seem to have pulled a muscle in my back / butt and I'm in real pain and the pain killers aren't touching it. Lucky I have the doctor this afternoon anyway.
    If it's not one thing it's something else in our house :confused:

    After a sleepless night, as both boys kept us up in turns, I have to find the energy to do something.

    So, I will .....

    1) make bread, then get myself dressed?
    2.) attempt the bathroom

    I checked gas and leccy for cheaper options. But we will only save, if we stay with the companies for a year. They only pay out the discount after 12 full month with them. :mad:
    As we don't know, if we are still here or not, there is no point changing!

    toots - I had the same problem with print outs from organized home. I got around the problem by changing the printer colour setting to greyscale using black printercartridge. No probs now!

    I wish Germany had a website like moneysavingexpert!

    morning Sleepy.gif

    well, i took my happy pill ystd before bed and i guess one won't change anything.
    i fell asleep in an instant (but i usually do) but dd had me up at 1.30 (bugs in her bed who were about to bite her?!?! :confused: - luckily we've put some fairy borders up recently and all the fairies made the bugs disappear :D) - but i couldn't go back to sleep properly ...

    sexymouse ~~good luck vibes~~ on their way. should be there in time!!! :T

    soappie oh, i know what's stressing me out. although i thought i had it half under control :rolleyes: because there is absolutely nothing we can do about it atm!
    we are in the process of emigrating and started this whole thing in feb07 - got the visas aug08 which was stressful in itself (collecting all evidence and waiting) - then we thought that's it: we can go now!' yeah right, ever since we are waiting for someone to buy our house - and that's even more stressful!!!
    oh well ... it will happen one day .... - it's just not nice in limboland :( - and a 3yr and 4yr old don't make it any easier either; and my back is killing me for weeks now, - and apparently a tiny pill can sort this all out :D

    and happy birthday to your ds2!!! HOBirthdayHBWishes12HL.gif



    froddi i didn't realise your class is smaller! then i guess definitely a good turn up!! :T



    i really need to do something from the list today - have slacked every days so far :o
    OH will take ds climbing in a little while which leaves me with dd.
    might be able to achieve something then ...
