    Glad you don't have to worry about the observation on top of everything else thifty - try to get an early night tonight, and if there's anything I can do, just let me know - you've all been so good to me, that I wish there was something I could do to return the favours.

    I've just finished writing the weekly timetable and just waiting on colleague to check over the other plans before I email them to the school office.

    OH has just called to say he's on his way home, so I'm off to make the dinner now - fishfingers, cheese sauce, baked beans and potato wedges. Yummy! Just the sort of comfort food you need on a cold and windy night.

    Will do a bit of cleaning in the kitchen whilst I'm in there - empty dishwasher etc as the kitchen doesn't get cleaned to my high standards during the week when OH cooks.

    Probably won't be in again until the weekend as can forsee a busy week again, but hope everyone has a fantastic week, and that black dogs run away. Happy birthday to anyone who is celebrating this week.

    Thanks to the 3 flyleaders for posting threads and stars and generally being supportive. Hugs to all who want or need them.

    Evening everyone,

    Started off well last week and then it all went a bit pear shaped :o In fact by Thursday it looked like a tornado had been through the whole house :o However.........I have redeemed myself a bit today. So much so, that tomorrows list is almost complete already!! :j:j

    Spent yesterday doing a 100 plus mile round trip to have a look at some kittens. It's DD birthday on Xmas Eve, she'll be 7 and she's been asking for months for a kitten. I started looking a couple of weeks ago and the ones that we went to see will be ready to leave their mum on Xmas Eve.

    It was so hard too pick, but we've got two little tortoiseshell girls. One dark brown and ginger and the other black, white and ginger. They are soooo pretty!! And before anyone says anything.......I've had cats before for many years....... so yes, they will be for life and not just for Xmas. Miss Tag is so excited and I'm just as bad :D.

    Right might do a bit of flying in a bit, but then again I might jump in the bath. :confused:
    Catch you all in a bit.

    monday list completed:rotfl::rotfl:

    I've just got my extras to do. Thought I'd get ahead of myself as all I had left to do was the dusting and vacuuming. Now I can concentrate on my elf mission tomorrow.

    It's not looking like I'll walk the stripy one tomorrow....she's cut the pad on her back paw (completely different paw to the one she hurt last week!). Let's hope she doesn't go for all four before Christmas! xx

  • Thanks to pigpen for the thread and the lists and to soappie for being there:A

    have left my catch ups on last weeks thread so as not to make this too long!!

    now to this week's ....

    mudbath and quillion thanks for post shuffling!!
    PenPen you are an angel!!!! thank you:A
    penguin83 hope you enjoy your days off and good luck with the assignment
    kazm the sleep would have done you more good than the hassles with DD! you can potter at it when she is not around - so long as you promise not to overdo it - or just make a list of what she needs to do so that she can tick them off?
    carlsberggran - well honey all you can do is be there for her just as you are at present - she will soon be of an age to make her own mind up and ex wont be able to stop her.
    signs of recovery I love your 'aims' in your siggy
    vanilla glad the plumber has got things sorted and you will now be warm - WTG DS2:T
    thifty honey moving house is the most stressful thing you have to do in life so cut yourself some slack - try to go with the flow and be as ready as you can be - if its meant to be it will happen and you will wonder what all the stressing was about - thought and prayers for your head - and no its not bad of you to be releived 'its an ill wind.....' and all that. and you will still have to do it - hopefully at a time when you will be less stressed too.
    pigpen WOO HOO!!!!!!!!!!:rotfl: You are on a roll - first for a star this week!!!
    mudbath - my goodness she is getting accident prone - you and her are not related are you??:rotfl: hope it heals quickly - not an easy thing as it keps getting dirty!
    AnW'sMum you cant post that - this is your tested patent you are talking about - how can I sing its praises if you dont make it work:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: hope both SW's make it to school ok - then you will have a chance to catch up a bit.
    lil_me oh no thats too bad - hope you dont feel too rough.

    off to do a list before an early night
    toots xx
    Peace will be mine
    could do better - must try harder
