Oh that has put a smile on my face!
I leave the house at 6.30 every morning and I have to leave the uniform and clothes ready for both kids ready each night :rolleyes:.
However I don't mind, as my friend had been away for a few days with work once and when she picked her DD up from nursery, she was wearing jeans and a pyjama top! :rotfl:

:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:this made me laugh....

My OH moans that our life is 100 miles per hour...non stop.....its busy but I am the only one organising, planning and preparing to try and get it to go smoothly.....he is stuck firmly in the slow lane!! Dragging a one wheeled blooming trailer!!

My OH is exactly the same, does'nt understand why i have to be up at 6.30 am just:rolleyes: to get the kiddies to school for 8.45, when he can roll out of bed 15mins before he needs to set off for work :mad:, Drives me mad.

macgirl

Yep, sounds familiar :rolleyes:

£13 landed in the account yesterday from Ebay and another %.52 is on it's way courtesy of Virgin scratchcards

I'm a bit :mad: with myself today though. LAst week I got a parking ticket in a "free" car park where they have just introduced a ticketing system to stop people parking all day.
I managed to beg a ticket off a couple who were leaving, so planned to send it off with the fine and get off :cool:;)

But I CANNOT FIND THE TICKET!!!! And I think I'm past the 7 day period tomorrow, so the fine will be £60 :eek:

Why Why Why can't I get my act together??!! Totally p***ed off with myself.

On a happy note DD is Mary tomorrow - can't wait for that!

macgirl

Right, tonight I need to get on with things - and stay off here :rolleyes:

I intend to wrap all the remaining presents and make a list of any stragglers that still need to be bought - hopefully that won't be too many.

Write some more Christmas cards and post them all tomorrow (American and Aussie ones sent today :A)

Make a list of food needed for my Mum's party; I'm going to go to the butchers and order the meat tomorrow.

I need to go to the Post Office and post cards and get a quote for posting an Ebay item to the US.

I'm also on a mission to see the bottom of the washing pile - which is now doable with the help of the new love of my life - the tumble dryer

As well as that I'm steadily decluttering - so hopefully the lost parking ticket will show up :rolleyes:

Oh and I'm also starting - Phase 2 of "Get back into my Party Dress" before next Sunday :eek: This will involve 2 runs this weekend and no more than 2 chocolates (ok maybe 3 ) a day from the tins at work.

That's enough for now....

Wow mac, i thought i was busy, well done on getting christmas cards posted, i hav'nt even written mine yet, kiddies are on with theirs now.

I could'nt live without my dryer either, not very mse, but needs must when you have little ones.

Good luck on finding that car park ticket!!

In_my_dreams

Oh I hope you find the car park ticket, it is probably somewhere VERY safe!

Following on from my simple request to get son's uniform out, I collected him from his Grandma's today after work and he was physically holding up his trousers. Old dimwit had sent him to school in trousers aged 7/8 (he is 5!!) which my sister had passed on and were tucked away in bottom drawer with other bigger clothes :rolleyes: So poor son has been running around with his trousers halfway past his knees - what his school thinks of me I don't know! I wouldn't mind but Grandma took him to school and even she didn't notice!

I may have to join you on party dress diet but after I've finished the 5 Crunchies I have stashed away in the fridge :rotfl:

rupe34

oooh IMD - 5 crunchies - surely one of them has my name on it?

macgirl

:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: I feel your pain IMD!

Well the majority of the pressies are wrapped! :j:j:j But I did so with the help of a few Mini Chocolate Orange segments - Mmmmm mmm! (So much for the diet )

I have never wrapped Christmas presents so early - I have to say it does feel great. I can look forward to a relaxing Christmas Eve now - that's when I usually do it.

No car park ticket though It was all wrapped up together with the actual parking ticket (fine) - so I'm going to concoct some story about my DH throwing it out and pull out an Oscar winning performance of a frantic, yet honest woman and see where that gets me

Forgot to add that the best thing about this Christmas is that not one penny has gone on a credit card, for the first time in years :T :A
