kazwookie that thread has to be a spoof :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

off to catch up...

ETA michelle sounds like a good outcome for the short-term. While you are being recommended books, try Bill Rogers' book "You Know the Fair Rule" may help you form some new strategies, and is a warm and funny read to boot. Would send you my copy, but I lent it to a trainee and he liked it so much I didnt get it back!Hugs.

Wednesday - Living pit, hallway, stairs!! Done!!:D:D:D
Level One
Level Two
Level Three

Up at 6am, as DD going to Thorpe Park with friends, then a day's supply - I am now falling asleep over the keyboard!!

Happy that I can post two days at a time, as I did the living room yesterday and the main bedroom today... I'll do the rest of upstairs on Friday - I'm not working - and as DD has already done her bedroom, that should be quicker and easier than usual!

Huge hugs to michelle - forget altogether about s****l, and enjoy some chill time with your family. Don't worry about your parents - if you had a broken leg, they'd expect you get it plastered wouldn't they? And at the moment, you are not quitting teaching - if you decide to have an extended career break to bring up your boys, then tell them that's what it is. I quit when DS1 was 6 months old because I couldn't bear to be separated from him(and the next two babies).I decided to return two years ago - he's now 19!! You don't have to have quite such an extended break! I would suggest that if you choose a break, keep up with your subject, and what's going on in the world of education. Then, if you want, you can do a returners' course - most authorities run them, and bursaries are paid. I would however suggest that you put any decision on hold for a few weeks - but please don't feel that you're burning all your bridges.

Please can ssl and jjef pass on love and hugs to toots. Jo, that was a really sweet thing to do.

Must go cook dinner....

No matter how much I do, no matter how much I clean and organise and declutter this F*%king house never gets tidy!!! I am so sick of being the the only one to actually do ANYTHING! OH sits on his lazy @rse all day on various games and crap on the internet, and then he wonders why I get in a bad mood when I come in and naff all has been done!!!! !!!!!!, do men just NOT SEE when the place is a pigsty!!!!! Then there's all his clutter and junk that he refuses to get rid of!! He hasnt looked at any of it for gods know how long, and he still insists on collecting more!!!!
And then there is the CONSTANT whinging from DS1 and asking for food, !!!!!! you wont eat the meals I put infromt of you!!! Your getting NO JUNK!!!
And the DS2 whining and screaming when he cant have EVERYTHING HE SEES.

I GIVE UP!!!! What is the point!!!!!!

ETA - Hugs for you Summermoon

Massive, massive, massive, massive hugs summermoon. I really do know how you feel. My DH is brilliant in so many ways but he's THE most untidy person! Luckily he has a study so ANYTHING he leaves out gets shoved in his study and then I shut the door. I told him, very calmly, I was going to do this. I do the same with the children (actually, I call them from whatever they're doing tell them to put their stuff in their room). Voila....my house is tidy (if not always spotlessly clean). Hugs again xx

I love tesco vouchers. DD is having a day out with us and a friend for her birthday. She really wants to go to blackpool pleasure beach which would have cost £200!!! Tesco vouchers saved up and paid for it in full! I'm happy!

S/s taking place before I pick dd up xx

Are we married to the same bloke?
My kitchen is full of his tools and I keep asking if he will empty all his stuff from the little shed into the big shed (that's full of his stuff also) so I can at least move some things into small shed.
My clothes maiden, ironing board and hoover are like ornaments as they get shuffled from room to room. :mad::mad:

Have a hug from me :grouphug:
