  • Well I didn't go to bed for a nap - I have S&S the kitchen - thought I would still be knackered after work even with sleep but at least some jobs will have been done before and I can sit down without feeling quite so bad.
    Found a pear that had gone soft and started to rot - loads of fruit flies around it. I stupidly picked it up by the stalk to carry it across the kitchen to the vegie waste bin . Needless to say the stalk broke and it exploded on the floor - a really yukky mess to clear up and i only cleaned the floor on Monday.......

    DS has risen from his pit, got dressed, duped his mother into providing more money so that he can eat at college and left to catch the bus all within 15mins - I wish I could manage even half as well as that.

    So I still have ages til I need to leave so have decided that I will tackle one of my 5 jobs - clearing the access to the utility room - this is major yukky and messy so may not finish it but here goes........

    Morning Lovelies! :wave:

    Pigpen ~~~~ positive vibes for some sense from senseless SW witch~~~~

    Toots hope you can catch a nap later angel. The blasted cat disappeared yesterday so I couldn't take him. He re-appeared at about 8ish last night. Sulking, and cheesed off with his head oozing (sorry if that's TMI ) I've cleaned him up, he's pretty cheerful this morning,and looks much better, so I'll take him later today.

    Well, I've been pretty quiet this week, and here's why:

    I've got a meeting with the senco today. We're doing a talk with the children in DD3's class on Fri. All about DD3, and why she does the things she does. I couldn't talk about this before because I was way too overwhelmed.

    The teachers talked to the class a little bit a couple of months ago, and gave the class a box to put questions in. Well, they've asked 137 questions! The questions are so profound and thoughtful. I spent all last Friday in tears. They've asked me how I feel being her Mum? And when will she get better? :(

    Oh dear.... *sniff*

    Consequently I'm in school today to plan for this talk.

    Breakfast now. :)

    psml :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: thanks for the laugh first thing in the morning!!! Trust me I will not be overdoing it!:D but I need to see whats needing done and if I can work out a way round it i will! Actually hoovering under furniture in the Lr is not that difficult - as the room has been stripped for decorating there is only 3 pieces of furniture and they are all on castors!
    Fingers crossed the olg hag SW has had a decent nights sleep and is human today!

    I slept quite badly actually.. I have smething fairly major on my teeny tiny mind so if she is a dragon she better watch out.. I feelt like carp.

    And be aware we all have our beady lizard eyes on you!!

    I'd have wailed on them too.. I am so pleased you are able to give the children this information to help them understand DD better.. you are very brave!!

    hope all goes well xx
