VickyA Can you do the course independently? I mean not through work. It seems a shame if you've got the money & it's going to improve his income down the track.

It's so frustrating! He can do it semi-independently, on a self-study basis but some of the modules need some "hands on" experience which he can't get on his computer at home or work.If he did the course, but paid for it himself then it would cost £4k! :eek: However, it would be well worth it. I've been trying to give him nag pie, but it seems to be brushing over him :rolleyes: Evidently I've nagged him far too much

You may have to use the *reward* system. It works wonders.

Twink - I hope your daughters wedding goes well and the weather stays nice for them, and for your teddy bears picnic. I think I'll be getting back to the flylady challenge on Monday too.
PP - I hope all goes well for you at the hospital ((hugs))
Moggins - was thinking of you this morning and wondering if you were better. Glad to hear you are - isn't it a good job you'd set the FLC? Imagine if you'd procrastinated a while first.... Mind - don't think that's in you!

Didn't get to bed until about 2am, and overslept this morning. Now have a rapid bake on for todays bread (first attempt at a rapid bake) and chicken is in S/C. Planning to have a stir fry for dinner with some of it, and then a pie and a pizza on other days. I would never have managed to make a chicken last more than one meal before my OS days! Thanks all! :T
Going to do a quick dust today to keep up with the Flylady thing - not sure what else yet as I seem to have left my thinking cap in the land of nod....
G'day to everyone, and I'll probably try to catch up later,

Morning all

Am on Nelski's PC and have managed to log on as myself

We haven't yet got our @rses in gear to go out to Cheshire Oaks as we have been having a very leisurely morning drinking cups of tea. Took us a while to wake up - perhaps something to do with staying up till 3am drinking wine

Went shopping (noooooooo! ) yesterday afternoon at the Trafford Centre with Nels and her mate, and our current status report is as follows:

Nels
Shoes count: 1 pair and they weren't even in the sale :eek:
But hey they are gorgeous:D (Nels)
Belt count: 1 (which goes quite nicely with the shoes)
Bikini count: 1 (ready for next holiday)

Rzl
Necklace count: 1
Earrings count: 1 pair (to match necklace)
(Total spend on both of these: £8.50 :j :j :j)
Contents of Nels's THREE huge charity-shop sacks - sadly depleted (we're about the same size)

Off to swell the aforementioned numbers in a bit then over to TM's (TM - six bottles of wine? We're bringing a huge box of rose AND two bottles of sparkling stuff :beer:)

Right - shopping list for the day is hopefully:
Outfit for friends' wedding in September
New undies
Shoes for work
Summer tops
...and if Nels has anything to do with it, handbags. Plural.

Got to go (sorry to have not said much about other people's posts this morning - must be the hangover - so hugs if you require them!)

Rzl xx :wave:

CONGRATULATIONS
Metherer!!!

Kazoline - :T to your DS. Very impressive

Penny-pincher - hope everything goes okay today.

Twink - Congrats to your DD.

Moggins - ((hugs)) hope your day isn't too bad / exhausting. Take it easy so you don't get ill again.

Ageandjo - ((hugs))

Well my day has gone up the swany (to quote my mum ). About 10 minutes ago I got a phonecall from one of DD@s friends mums, they'd just announced on the local radio station (which I didn't have on for a change, typical :rolleyes: ) that parents at DD's school needed to go and pick them up ASAP as they had no water :mad: Seems like the work men who are putting in a new pipe along our road have managed to cut off most of the area so not only have I not got any water, neither has the local shops or school :mad::mad: Water board has said it could be 4-6 hours before its back on (according to a teacher in the school, who got that from one of the teaching assistants who had been to a local shop to see whether they had any water . The person in the shop just happened to be on the phone to the waterboard about something else at the time ) :mad::mad: Stupid workmen (to put it politely) didn't bother to tell anyone until 9am this morning when most people in the area would have been on the school run :mad: If they had said something yesterday to the school, they would have given the kids today off (tomorrow is a staff training day so it was going to be a long weekend anyway!) and I might have been able to arrange a trip out somewhere or even arranged with OH that we could go up to Wigan with him to work, we could have gone exploring / window shopping then met him back at work.

So for me today, no washing up/laundry, no cleaning of bathrooms or kitchen. Not worth me attempting to clean anywhere else as I have no cleaning cloths - they're all in the wash. Hopefully, DD can help me do stuff tomorrow, which will include the washing now. :rolleyes: DD is standing on the step watching the tractor which I'm assuming will be pulling the new pipe through :rolleyes: Got to go and watch apparently :rotfl:Later :wave:

(((((((((((((nicki)))))))))))

The schools just love springing things on us don't they? I got into school this morning to find that it is sports day on Monday and we have to send them in their sports kit because we are taking them straight home again afterwards so they can move their classrooms around. It's only 2 weeks till the end of term - couldn't they do it then? I've already had her home for a total of 8 days!!

Well done Joannas mum!

I'm feeling in limbo today as DS3 has 'volunteered' me to go down the school to help with sewing. I've no idea where he has got the notion that I know what to do with a needle from I only pray that I don't have to use a sewing machine - I seem to recall that everything I did in sewing lessons in school was perfect.... the reason being the teacher did it all for me to avoid me breaking any more machines:p

I don't have to be there until 2:30 so I kind of feel 'on hold' in the meantime IYKWIM:o

Thanks to everyone for the well done for my DS2, I'll pass it on when he gets home, I know he'll be chuffed.

(ps. my late night wasn't entirely due to last nights events, it was also due to my new addiction of playing on the MSE game. Sad or what!!!! :rotfl: )

afternoon everyone.

Thought i'd pop in for a quick break before doing more school work. I feel so hot again today, mainly from rushing around like a looney to try and do everything i needed to do today, and still having work piled on me by others.

I'm a bit cheesed off as i am working really hard, yet other teachers are letting the kids do nothing, and yet i will end up being the one who gets slated no doubt. I am having a bit of a dilemna with myself. I went in my colleagues room this afternoon and found her group sat with no work. So i told my head of department. He is quick enough to jump on my back with very little reason, and i think this is really bad, particularly as they know we have OFSTED in next week, and everywhere i seem to look kids think its one big social. Now i'm feeling guilty. Not quite sure why.

Plan for tonight is to write up 3 lesson plans, and try and mark a set of books. Best start soon as i feel ready for bed already.

Hope the rest of you are enjoying the nice weather.

Michelle,
xx

Afternoon all

andHugs to all who need them
PP good luck with the meeting, seems like the hair cut did you the world of good.
RLZ, TM and Neski: Hope you enjoyed cheshire Oaks and got everything you wanted and have a great night tonigh.

Well today has been abit of a spendathone:eek: for me didnt plan it that way but have got Il and Parents christmas presents and daughters summer clothes. I'm feeling pretty guilty but as these are spending I would have made anyway at some point I sort of going to let myself off the hook:j .

Oh is starting nights next week and we are always arguing about the house work so I'm going to write a house work rota so hopefully this will cut down on the arguments.
