    morning all

    Evie woke me up at 3am, 3.30am and by 4.30am I thought !!!! it, she can come into bed with me! She helped herself to breakfast and we've had loads of giggles and babbles. Haven't ventured downstairs yet but today I'll be washing, hanging washing on line, going to story time at library, feeding evie her first cube of pear puree, taking her to baby massage and then collapsing when Wayne gets home (again)!

    Have a good day everyone

    I am off to the office shortly....one of the girls is off sick and one on holiday so I am going to keep the last one company. Might mean that I actually get some solid work done today.

    Its hard keeping up with the housework...grrrrr.....although I do seem to be winning...I am beginning to realise I am a little bit of a perfectionist.

    I will find out today whether OH's contract gets renewed for one final week or whether he is at home with me next week...I am looking forward to having him home but hope he gets a contract again soon...gulp...I have got used to having a regular income. Although it will give him a chance to do some things for me too....

    Ooo - good luck Beanie. I'm looking forward to getting a job so I can start debt busting again. They may have crept up a little in the last month or so:o

    Morning all.

    I've got a meeting with my health trainer this afternoon, but that's all for today.
    Unless I say otherwise 'you' means the general you not you specifically.

    don't even mention money to me, let alone debts.... i am skinter than a skinty thing etc etc....


    in other news.... went to retiral presentation for the peeps who do my running club... it was nice, erin was bored off her boobies but hey ho!

    then home, erin to bed and shared the remnants of a bottle of wine with my neighbour dawn, she's turning out to be a really good RL friend... then golferman texted and came round, bringing another bottle of wine since the first (and only) glass had gone down so well.... i stuck it in the fridge to chill but after a few minutes of chatting and giving golferman the once over for me, dawn went back into our own house.... she is literally thru the wall so not far to go!

    Golferman doesn't drink generally so wasn't worth opening it really...

    anyway he wasn't feeling great and was shattered so he stayed for an hour or so and i sent him home...

    then i called dawn, she came back thru and we hammered the bottle of chablis!

    Morning all

    I need to do some serious debt busting work too but have lost my mojo....it's probably hiding down the back of the sofa.

    Tigz - Hope DD has a lovely half day at school - it is all change but after a few weeks you'll love the peace and quiet. :D

    House is all sparkly clean for DH's boss and HR visit...I'm turning into my mother tho, I actually wondered if I had time to wash the nets before they arrive...:rolleyes: God help me!

    DD2 informed me last night that she needs new trainers....she's got PE tomorrow so I have to pop out this afternoon and find some, hers still fitted fine last week, hence not buying new ones....ah well, it's only money.
