    My daughter texted with the latest on her GCSE expected grades, so am pleased to be able to say she's hopefully getting an A* on all english courserwork, and her science mocks came back as A* biology, A chemistry and B physics. Not bad poor thing is going through the mill at the minute and her final history essay was due in today (she only finished the previous one last night :( hoping the teacher will let her do last one today and hand it in tomorrow) SHe's had all the hassle of a Drama exam on monday that was moved to tuesday night and didn't get back till 9:30pm and for some reason while it was hanging over her she felt totally unable to write anything. It was all I could do to keep her cheerful.

    I've done sod all so far :o I'd better shift my butt and get cracking on some of the lists!

    i am in ... i am sure there is a HHC going somewhere :D


    i've done the kitchen and dropped the kids off including lunchboxes
    and the last hour i spent surfing for what i'd like to study!
    i did try an online course which didn't go too well :rolleyes: - and all the courses i'd like don't do the hours i can do (due to dh's silly shift work)

    i was just wondering: project management: is that really only a course over a few days????? it's quite expensive though :cool:

    hmmmmmmm

    oh well, i better go upstairs and do some damage to the kids rooms :D

    Morning ladies, not feeling up to par today :( Have a thudding headache, but I think that is a result of my ears finally starting to clear.. I don't have to have the t.v. or radio on a very high volume, and treat my neighbours to free t.v./radio..lol Weather here is warmish but not as sunny as it has been :confused:

    I've been brave and listed a few of my Wicca books on Amazon marketplace, not sure if they will sell but heck if they do it means I get some extra money to pay off the debts with. I'm now going to sort out all my Wicca books and list them all. They are only cluttering up the spare bedroom, in boxes, and I haven't looked at them for over 3 years now. So why am I keeping them..:confused:

    I have three dogs fast asleep down here with me - one of my dogs asleep on the armchair and Beth (the visitor) asleep on the cat's blanket on the armchair. Jet has been relegated to the small dogs bed that Beth brought with her..poor lamb. The cats are fast asleep upstairs as though they own the place - oh wait they do don't they..lol

    I don't have a kiddies room so am trying hard to think of what I can replace the levels with..any help would be appreciated..lol

    Time for one of these I think tea.gif
