    Morning everyone, after being back to work for one whole day I now have a day off:D

    Not for long though, Tuesday's will soon be my "Lou the student" days.

    List for today is......
    • Sort out paperwork and little bits of things like posting letters and going to library to pick up reserved books.
    • Take DS1 to get passport photo taken for bus pass
    • Visit Granda
    • Flylady for today and yesterday
    • Try to find decend match odds for £50 free bet
    • Put 5 things on Ebay
    Work was OK yesterday, didnt get much done as expected as hauled into meetings etc most of the day. Big changes ahead in FE which is quite scary stuff, many of our lecturing staff have been made redundant or are on reduced hours due to lack of government funding.

    Cant think of anything else to report but I shall be back later no doubt:cool:
    But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.

    Just having a nice cup of hot chocolate options (turkish delight flavour) and watching supersize v super skinny.:eek:

    OH suggested that we put the heating last night:eek::rotfl::rotfl::eek:

    Its still August, no way Jose!!!!!!

    Rain all day is the forecast, hope it gets out later for our walk.

    Yesterday I didnt manage all my list, I didnt get around to Ebaying, couldnt find a decent match for my £50 free bet or get DS1 for the photographs, he can go tomorrow when he comes into town to get his GCSE results from the school.........*bites fingernails for him*

    Had a little talk with OH this morning about small changes that are needed now I am back to work like him actually making the bed when he gets out of it so that I dont have to go back up and do it and him getting his packed lunch ready the night before instead of me making it....

    I am not going to run myself ragged getting up an hour and a half before I go to work just to make everyones lunches, see to the cat, wash up and about 20 other jobs while everyone else in the house gets up at the last minute leaving themselves just enough time to get ready and out of the door...........changes MUST be made!!!

    Good for you Lou, stick to your guns!

    Erm, making bed? Hmm my duvet sometimes gets straightened out before I leave in the morning but more often just sort it out before I get back in at night.. am I a slob? :o

    Fingers crossed for DS for tomorrow :)

    I am very proud of my son who did very well in his GCSE's today so he will be off studying at 6th form soon.

    We seem to have a tarantula spider living in our bedroom which has the speed of a superbeing..........I am sleeping downstairs tonight:eek:

    Other news.......I lost another 2lbs this week:D
