Been for a jog (how about you Sunnygirl?), just need to get the DW done before I slope off for a bath and bed.

Sorry...letting the side down...not been Thursday or last night because I work 7pm til 11pm three nights a week and the only time I manage to go is in the evening after DH is back from work and the girls are in bed. Don't think I'll manage today as DH will be doing jobs in the garden so I'll be watching the girls and ironing then we're out for a few drinks tonight. Nothing too heavy so will make sure I go again tomorrow at some point. How far do you go? I'm in training for the Manchester 10K at the moment. Have done it twice before but I tend to slack off a bit in the Summer and Autumn and pick it up again in the winter so I need to train up again for it.

Have set the DW to come on in a bit when DH finishes showering (we've had a lazy morning)
WM been on already...need to hang it out to dry

To do:
Hang washing out
Finish lounge list
Finish kids room list
IRON, IRON, IRON!

DD2 is very tantrumey (is that a word?!?) today so might not get much done until she is in bed.

Glad your Dad is Ok Froddy.

Hi to everyone else.:hello: Time to get to it. See you later when hopefully I'll be coming back to request two more stars!!!

pigpen could you use a printer at the local or college library? maybe not so covenient but would save money for now? If you ever want something run off where you have plenty time you are very welcome to email it to me and I would print it off and post it to you.
I am very impressed with how you are getting on with your course work - goodness knows how you manage it - I like the others take my hat of to you.

embb WTG - well done with the flinging - thats all stuff that you will notice has gone - brilliant xx

lil_me hope you had good holiday andhave not now got lost under mountain of washing. We were away 6 days and I came back and dd 5 loads of washing and my machine is a massive Dyson so probably nearaer 8 loads normal size. How can small people get through so many clothes ......

After our last holiday (2 weeks in a caravan in Wales) on the suggestion of SIL I took all our washing to the launderette in the local town and got it all washed and dried before we came back. Have decided now to factor in the cost of a service wash into the holiday budget to get all the washing done either before we come home or drop it off the day after we arrive back. I figure if you factor in the cost of 5 or 6 loads of washing, drying, detergent, electricity, etc then its probably as much as 2 loads in the huge machines at the launderette. Plus you don't come back down to earth with such a bump!

Thank you for asking.. I'm ok mostly I think. finding it hard to get back into the swing of being alive though lol.

The whole house is a bear pit and I need to crack on and have no motivation!

I have one of the assignments almost done and was oping to get a cheapy printer to pound it off so the tutor could give it the once over on monday

Hi Pigpen, glad you're feeling better, I know what you mean about being in the swing of things, but you'll get there...

What about Freecycle for your printer? There always seems to be loads on ours so might be worth asking?

Well I've been to get the money out and they have dropped off the computers, so that's good - all done and working... :j So DD & my mum can be up and running for now...

Not done anything else though, been very lazy and have just sat here reconciling all my accounts - CC, Current account, Freemans, ect for the end of the month so I know what we still owe - just one more statement to come in before I can finish it...

I just CBA at the moment... hey ho, better get on...

I love my new washing line :j I've run out of washing for the minute to put out on it :rotfl: I've got a wash load in, 4 more to go though :rolleyes:

Just realised I still haven't signed my new tenancy agreement (supposed to be signed every 12 months) but my LL is away ATM so budget wise I'm going to have to go on the old housing benefit rates for now :rolleyes: Can't cancel it until I have a new tenancy agreement as I won't be able to re-apply :rolleyes:

BTW Piggers made a numpty of meself last night, went to regular where you said your sis works. Saw your sis so stared at her loads hoping to catch her eye for some reason she avoided looking at me. Anyway she came over to our table where I loudly said 'Hi, your Pigpens sister aren't you' and she said 'No sorry you've got the wrong person'........:o:o:o:o:o:o

very tired today. Went to a gig last night..lots of burlesque dancers and dubious 60s films as background..drove so didn't drink but still had to be prized from me bed at 11am with the promise of bagels.

Work tonight then a friend wants me to go clubbing as he's just split up with his GF.
Feel really selfish though as I just want to come home and crash. Got free cinema tickets for an 11am showing tomm.

I must be getting old. Once upon a time I would have done work, club, party and cinema with barely an afternoon nap!

gratefulforhelp_2

Morning all. Gosh, I dimly remember clubbing! Hoping to get some flying done today but feeling a bit pants still. Think is the medication rather than the illness!

Toots, have you a day off today from the treatment? Hope so.

Happy Saturday all.
