Morning All

Dam Monday again, where does the weekend go?? Anway at least I get to return to some kind of normality during the week :rolleyes:
Off to work once I can get DD out of bed, to preschool and tackled the traffic!

Wish this weather would perk up a bit, if we don't get some sunshine I will be forced to have to spend money on going abroad!
Have a good day everyone

    Morning!

    Ryan woke up complaining about feeling sick - he says this every single schoolday morning so I didn't take it seriously.....until he threw up in the living room! :o

    Bad Mummy!

    So now he will have to stay off today and tomorrow at least, and school will no doubt think it's yet more evidence of my appalling parenting because he will now slip over the 5% absence target.

    :wall: :wall: :wall:

    Hi all, hope you had a good weekend :)

    I drank waaay too much on Friday and the combination of that and a big meal led to a poorly squirrel on Saturday.. OK by Sunday though and had a really good run - even though it started pouring with rain halfway through - loved it! I must have looked like a crazy person running along soaking wet with a big grin on my face! :rotfl:

    Maz when you pop on, got the bottle caps in the post on Sat - thankyou!! :D xx

    Feeling a bit Monday-ish today, not much work to do and computers are playing up, would much rather be at home!

    mixed i think it's fair to say......

    gym while erin was swimming on saturday morning

    me n Erin went to a friends 40th party on saturday night without Big G, which was a bone of contention with us... it was fine but not drinking (driving, and CD) and not being able to have nibbles does not a great party make!

    Sunday was horseriding with erin, housework in afternoon, and weigh in followed by chinese at night (oh the irony! lol) 3lbs lost this week and chinese was lush!

    Need to run 6 miles this evening while erin at brownies as haven't got my long run in this weekend... and have 10k next sunday...

    Oh, of course the party - have you kicked him up the *rse yet?!

    Good luck with the run tonight! I did 5.5 miles yesterday, so feel a bit more optimistic about the 10k at end of June now.

    If he's sick, he's sick, Snags, you could turn it back on the school and say it's a physical manifestation of the appaling stress he's been under lately.

    Got my house viewing today, panicking a bit about the £50 admin fee, wondering what it is for. If it's for a credit check, we might be in trouble, there are a few missed cc payments on there that will look bad on me. Will have to ask her straight out what it is for. I'm assuming it's non-refundable, if it looks like I'll fail that, I'd rather keep my fifty quid.
    Not an expert, but I try and contribute and I'll always listen. Middle child of middle child parents. I drink way too much coffee.

    Good luck with the house Ruby, good idea to ask in advance what the admin fee is all about.
