    we are going on the bus and i haven't used a bus in about 6 months so have no idea of the times(hopefully they won't have changed!!)
    Thanks for mentioning that - I keep forgetting to check the revised timetable.

    (Princess nurses secret fantasy about being SAHM but with nanny and maid...and no kids.)
    I was looking for a millionaire until I realised that a million would only get me the house... so I need a multimillionaire who can afford the staff as well :D

    My Mum still does that to me:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    She's not called Scary Soappie for nothing ;)

    I've been to the gym (not very successfully, I was feeling grotty), and had breakfast. I'm supposed to be going to the leavers service at the school at 10.30 but a. I can't find my name badge and b. it's peeing down again so I don't want to walk there... I also need to go to the shop to get bread & milk for my brother & his wife so that they can have breakfast tomorrow when they get home, bread and milk so that my parents can have breakfast on Friday, and yogurt for me. And it's wet outside.

    It felt like being back at school and being left out the loop IYSWIM?:cool:
    Aw, poor you.
    I suggest a good dose of gran visiting, and perhaps a nice slice of cake ** (of your choice) ?
    Hope you feel better soon :).

    ** ETA am making banana cake in a bit so a virtual slice is on it's way to you ;).

  • In my HHC I managed to do :

    washed up
    sorted out the washing - the stuff in the basket was yukky and smelly having been left while wet so that has gone back in the wash.
    Hung out the washing that was done and left in the machine - it is very windy here I have had to double peg everything
    New load put in the WM
    opened 2 letters from my regular 10 items
    hung up some more stuff that has been on the sofa for weeks
    Made packed lunch


    I must put away the clothes that are on the rail at the bottom of the stairs as if i put anymore on it the rail will collapse!:eek:

    Have also rung SHU and they have another course running (in Derby) in September so hopefull I can apply for that one.

    right off to work as I am going to treat myself to a coffee from McD's before work.

    Hope everyone has a good day
    See you tonight - I dont finish unitl 6.30 so will be in late.

    Oh :(.
    Would some nice cake not keep her mouth occupied (I mean that in the nicest way!) ?
    TBH I don't feel naturally up-beat today, but the thought of holidays next week is keeping me smiling.
    Anyone fancy an HHC about 9.45 ?
