dreamywings1

Thanks pigpen, soapie and Toots for the lists, im in again this week.

Not had chance to catch up on last weeks thread, will try harder this week!

Had a very chaotic week, cant wait till Thursday for my day off, im sooo tired.

Im on an early tomorrow so when I got home from work at 11pm I made the kids packed lunches for tomorrow, ironed school uniforms, got spag bol out of the freezer for tomorrow nights dinner, washed the pots and put a load of washing in the WM. Will be going to bed just as soon as the WM has finished as I need to leave the house at 6.45 in order to be at work for 7.30am. Very foggy here this evening hope its cleared abit by morning.

On the plus side ive had lots of phonecalls and texts from my blind date friend from the other week and he is taking me out for a meal on Wednesday . I was going to invite him round for a meal 1 night but dont know whether its too early to introduce him to the kids hummm dont know, what do you think?

OK ive waffled on enough

HUGZ to all

Hi all, I am in ish. Thanks for the lists and stars

Unfortunately manic week
Monday : conference I am really looking forward to, Lamb Enquiry developments for this area and roll out of some amazing stuff for developing school and parent confidence being invited and no stress of planning ahhhhhh bliss hope it's a good day
Tuesday : meeting then dentist for DS2
Wednesday : Getting garage keys and meeting with someone to discuss DPs club and some promo stuff (he's a BTCC driver so hoping he will do some publicity stuff )
Thursday : Conference I am dreading! Then swimming/cubs dash about
Friday : The day I thought I was free, until I found an unopened letter, DS2s OT assessment! Only a year down the line....pah! I wish DP would tell me when there is post, I need to phone them to confirm attendance tomorrow or they will cancel the appointment. Thank goodness we have no coasters unpacked or I'd have not seen the envelope when I put my coffee on it.

PHEW!!!

This week will be at home 'mission clear the decks' this will be a process of throwing things in the garage, using the lifeboats charity bag for a fling, DP completing my wardrobe which we built the 'carcass' today and me filling it I want to be able to clean without dodging stuff, vacuum the dog hair without moving boxes from place to place and unpack boxes without falling into another one!! I guess you can tell the house of blocks is getting to me?

Anyway. I will try my best to be in this week. Oh my tinternet should be live by the 10th yippeee!!!

Bother I have no idea where my suit is, actually no I think it's in DS2s wardrobe........but fluff knows where my suit shoes are......argh. I might have to wear boots as I have no leg coverage....no idea where they are. Poo I need to make DS1s packed lunch too as he says their chilli tastes likes something 'unpleasant' that dogs leave for us humans to pick up (he didn't put it quite so nicely, lovely child at school he's picked that phrase up from as he says it in a Geordie accent too.....hmmm)

Quillion did you try www.etyres.co.uk ? Sometimes packages can be quite cheap but the tyre quality isn't always great.

Back in again, so thanks Pigpen, Toots & Soappie

Thanks Pigpen and Toots and Soappie - I'm in!


I know he's in hospital, but may I ask what the problem is? I don't think I ever knew why he lives in hospital?

Hi rosepink
DH had a car accident 5 years ago, that left him with severe brain damage.

Pigpen.....Hi:D
DD is on the azithropine still, it seems to be working without too many sideeffects:) Her wheelchair should be arriving soon....hopefully we will never need to use it!!
DS1 is a typical teenager, he knows everything and the hormones are in full swing atm!!
DS2 has his teeth fixed after the incident involving a group of kids.....yknow when the wee girl caused all the damage by kicking him in the face...DPPs office sent a letter to say there was insufficent evidence to go to trial, but i sent a letter of complaint off so im still waiting to hear!
DS3 Is 10 on tuesday and asked if we could prospone his treat as he felt he needed to be sad for his great granny....which is fine!!!

Sisters 1 and 6 arrived home from sussex this evening, and they are heartbroken, sisters 2 and 4 have informed us that their exs are going to the funeral.....(sister4s relationship has just broken up as her fiance was sleeping with his work collegue and he told her about it after my mums 60th party then proceeded to sleep with her again 2 days after telling her he loved her etc) Grrrrrr im not happy about it but its not my place to say....but if he comes anywhere near me he will be met with a frozen shoulder and possibly a limp:eek:

mum loved the clothes:D and i just told her that i needed to do something practicle

(im sorry about the typeos!!):rotfl:

Morning ladies!
Toots, pigpen and Soappie for the lists and support.
Jinky my lil friend -
LadyL - Hope you are feeling Ok today hon.
Mumof4 - Thinking of you today, hope it all goes well. Your post yesterday brought a tear to my eyes, what a lovely family you have.
Quillion - I am sat here crying my eyes out after reading that poem. Thank you so much for sharing it.
Pollybear - my condolences to your DD and family, what an awful shock.
sexymouse - Of course I will send positive vibes for you on Friday. xx
kazwookie - I think Simon was a real coward. He has been slating those twins for weeks and now when he could get rid of them he doesn't. Personally I think it is all because he knows that the press are giving him loads of airtime because of the twins and he is worried about losing all that free publicity. Even I knew that if it went to a public vote it would be the twins that stayed. Ok, rant over.

So my lists today are:
Feed the cat at least twice
Brush the cat
Sort and delete 20 emails (they seen to breed if left alone!)
reply to emails
Clean bathroom sink
Spray bleach on the bottoms of the shower curtains
Email R
Fill WM and put on
Ring Dawn

Extras

Polish computer keyboard and screen and tv
Send friend link to article
Get OH to pick up boxes for clearing floor in office

Yet more sorting through the crate of doom
Finish complaint letter
Check smoke alarm
Ring Avon lady
Finish story.
Warm gentle to all who need or want them. And have a good day flying.

Mum visited on Saturday and we went out for lunch, as I was leaving the house, I noticed the remote on the sofa :eek: Its supposed to be by the TV when not in use!!! So, I HAD to put it where it belongs then noticed that I had to position it just right

Think I've developed OCD :rolleyes:
