Hi everyone!
I've had my piggy jab this afternoon, and so far feel fine, though there's a bit of stiffness and 'bruised feeling' - but no swelling - around the mark itself.
Let's hope it stays that way: I really want to get on with my studying tomorow (and a bit better than I managed on Tuesday!). Mudbath - are you still slogging away? Or am I by myself?
Would also like to substitute my front porch/entrance lobby for the Friday Kiddies Room task tomorrow, but the jobs would be very different... Is that allowed, Toots? I want to get everything cleared up and put away in the dry before the winter sets in, and it's a horrible mess out there... It *is* a sort of 'neglected room...'
[On the other hand, looking at the weather forecast for tomorrow.....! :eek:
May see what it's like first thing....]
Time for bed now - night all.
MissH

Good luck for tomorrow Zoe.
Pigpen i'd ask him if i were you. By some miracle i managed to get 1/2 of Ds1's trip money last year from his Dad. I'm still shocked he paid it but he wouldn't have if i hadn't of asked.
It was OH's last day in work today ( he's off now for 18 days before he starts his new one) and he went for a drink afterwards with everyone from his team. He popped in on his way home when i was half way through wrapping a Dalek bubble bath ( not the easiest of things to wrap :rolleyes:) so i've only managed to wrap another 4 things. I'm getting there though slowly.

Tomorrow I am looking after my friend's 2yo in the morning a sshe has a hospital appt. I am not sure how DD" (also 2) will take to having someone that isnt her bother or sister playing with her toys. So probably won't get much done in the morning. Keeping DS off school, he was still very pale today so I think there's no point in dragging him out in the cold and wet for the sake of a day before the weekend. Maybe he will provide some entertainment for the little ones.

I am hoping to make a start on the decorating next weekend while the chillies are at their dads.. and the weekend after the front room will be gutted so I can get the christmas tree in there.. and the weekend after that I may do nothing! (Actually I have the last of my christmas shopping to get done) and the week after that my new kitchen windows should be being installed... so the kitchen will need gutting.. the week after that I have the kitchen to decorate so it is all pretty before christmas...
after christmas I have the guttering, the girls room, the boys room and the back room to re/decorate..
Somewhere in the midst of all that I have 3 birthdays, all the presents to wrap, cards to write and up to now.. 3 hospital appointments, 2 meals out a governors meeting at school and one at KIDS... oh... and the grass needs cutting and the sheds tidying so all the garden toys fit in..
