Had a busy morning flying. Had a quick break to buy scents from White Company to make lovely clean living room even nicer. Found a 15% + free delivery code on the Vouchers Board so I'm a very happy flyer! Now having an early lunch as am playing tennis this afternoon. 3rd load of washing going round. Ironing to do later when clothes on airer are dry. I'm going to tackle the kitchen after the school run as I'm out all day tomorrow (hairdo and theatre in London). This is really motivating me.:D

Tennis was fab! Didn't get to tackle kitchen until after evening meal, had to pick up DS2 from after school club but did 2 errands on way home. Ironed for hour and half. DD1 said friend was coming home with her so I saved enough dinner for 2. All the rest asked for seconds and were fobbed off with bread. Said friend didn't materialise and DD ate in town. Grrrrrr! Saved dinner thrown away, microwave is broken and it's too complicated to heat up in oven when I'm always chasing time. DH away for another night, nightmare problems organising babysitter for theatre trip. DH has organised it - why am I so stupid to think he would organise babysitter as well? I'm trying hard not to scream with fustration. Little ones really played up at bedtime, most unlike them. We are all missing DH. Really must get cases out of loft and start putting clothes in them. Will spend all day Thursday making lists and packing. Will get up early to clean bathrooms tomorrow am.

toottifrootti

Funfairprincess - nice to see you honey

Jinky come on honey - you know that time is running out - you need to start packing up what you want to take and then you can clean round as you go and the time gets nearer. And speak to your boss - if she is that nice you will be fine talking to her - its worse to put it off (((hugs)))

smartie12 - hope you are feeling better

greenbee hope you get your work issues sorted as it sounds like a good job

SummerMoon hope the depression lifts and you begin to feel better very soon

MissHiggerty hope the letter works - fingers crossed

juliejim hope your DS and DD get better soon


Chris25 if you keep going back and editing your original post we wont see what you have managed to cross off! there are no hard and fast rules regarding posing and where you have your list - do what is easiest for you.

poohbear thats great news about old doggy (((hugs))) and good news for DH too:T

penny enjoy your 2 weeks off - you could do with the break - I know ita a bit late but glad you had a lovely day xxxxx Lovely wool and scarf!

froddy thinking of you honey and hoping things get better quickly for you - lots of love xxxxx

G&B thats fantastic news that Lo is home - we know she is a fighter so I suspect it wont be long before she goes back to work - now go and get on with your algebra or calculas or whatever it is (its beyond me whatever!!) xx

lil_me hope DS2's appointment went ok

la-la you shouldnt have to take that kind of verbal abuse- you should consider going over her head to an area manager or HR? I am not sure Daniel is entirely safe:rotfl::rotfl:

Lady L - we want to know how you are honey good or bad????? 1 post at 6.09am wishing Penpen a happy birthday isnt saying anything about yourself - ecept that you are awake aaaawwfully early!!!!

SS supergirl hi babes - good luck with the extra hours - hope the rest of the family are helping at home xxx

carlsberggal fingers crossed its not your DS - although he will be gutted!

Had a fabulous, lovely, fantastic, brilliant, all too short day with my lovely cousin and hubby yesterday.
So now I have a curtain pole and curtains in the LR, a roller blind and pictures in the kitchen, and other little bits done too. we had a meal out which was superb.

was at MacMillan today which was good - we made cherry and plain scones.
thats all I can manage - I am still cream crackered from yesterday but will be a round a bit more tomorrow.

Love and hugs to all that need them

night night
toots xx

Right.. think I am calmish now..

I have been given an appointment for.. you'll like this.. 8AM on Thursday.. that's not going to happen is it?

Who will get the children ready for school?
Who will take the children to school?

I just laughed at their total lack of competence and said I'll be there just after nine if they want me to leave I'll be more than happy to because I don't want to go in the first place.

While I was waiting a woman with a newborn came in.. obviously having had a section at slashers and said she had had to park in a disabled spot (there are loads more than are ever fully required) and said she was unable to walk from the other car park having just had the baby and not actually meant to be driving this soon anyway.. the lovely helpful smiling member of staff said.. "oh well if you are happy to risk getting a fine then leave it there"..

!!!!!! was the poor woman meant to do?

I swear they get worse every time they 'improve' a service!!

Anyway, I may not go back regardless of whether a miracle happens and I can get there at 8am or not.

Good evening all,

Going shopping was not my best idea ever - even though we had a great time, it took a huge chunk out of the evening and I'm too tired to do much else. I didn't manage anything from the list, but quite a few things from my own. Must do better tomorrow, though.

Today I managed to...

make lunch x2
put leaflets into 200 papers for DS1's paperround
WM x2
DW x1
dry clothes
cook tea (warmed up leftovers for myself)
tidy kitchen after tea (not much to do)
collect DS2 from friends’ house
go to shopping centre with DS1 and 2 – shoes for DS1 (didn’t find any), more pyjamas for DS2 (ditto) and a little notebook for me so I can start my spending diary (success!) avoid having tea there if I can – fed DS1 there to avoid cooking tea at 8pm
collect concert tickets – box office closed

Plan for tomorrow:

Wednesday ~ Kitchen of Grot and Diming Room of Gloom
Level One
Declutter and mop/vacuum kitchen floor
Level Two
Wipe the WM and DW
Level Three
Clean the hob

My list for tomorrow:
make lunch x2
find campbed
WM x2
DW x1
empty bins in the house
Get grey bin ready
dry/put away clothes
start spending record book
listen to DS2 read
start tea in slow cooker
finish cooking tea
tidy kitchen after tea
take DS1 to garden centre to enquire about part-time jobs (he’s desperate to stop doing paperrounds)
declutter floors (living room, stairs and landing, my bedroom)
hoover same floors
plan shopping and packing for the weekend!!!

I'm just going to read the last 2 or 3 pages of the thread, while I'm waiting for DH to come home, then it's bedtime. Take care, everyone.

It's to crochet this scarf to go with my new coat

Yes you should get it, and if there's any spare, you can make another one for me :D

When the hook is in the trumpet yes;)

mind you, I've just seen your FB post...

lala - sorry, I didn't realise you were still at school :rolleyes: I thought you were a grown up with a job...:p:p:p I think you need to have a formal meeting with a senior manager. Also consider talking to a union rep. I know its not long, and that you're all supporting each other, but this woman needs help :mad:

jinky - talk to your manager, unlike lala's she obviously cares about you, so return her calls and she should be able to avoid any issues resulting from an unauthorised absence.

Had a meeting with HR and my boss (by phone) today. He's still annoying me, but hopefully the issues can be sorted by HR/Occ Health. They've given me a letter to drop off for my GP (because of the postal strike) asking for information about my back problems. She won't be impressed, as rather than asking her to release relevant information they've asked her opinion on the problem, whether it qualifies under DDA, how it may impact my work, what the prognosis is etc... most of which she's not qualified to answer and has already told me that they need Occ Health to do it!

Anyway, I have an appointment for next Friday, so hopefully it will all be sorted by Christmas :rolleyes: I must remember to call the physio tomorrow to make another appointment.

Ankle is still sore, but I'm going to go to the gym tomorrow as I don't want to stop being active. I'm out in the evening again, so I'm not quite sure a. when I'll get to the surgery to drop off the letter or b. when I'll get any flying done!

Hugs all round... off to find the occ health statement from my last job and try to pack my gym bag etc for tomorrow.
