    Congrats to MFD and Elle. :T

    Well i'm so dedicated to work- Not!. Three days back from maternity leave then booked yesterday off, to look after my poorley baby. Took Alex to the doctors, he has "viral infection" and fever. A wasted journey, really, was told to just give him paracetamol, but he's my baba and i had to make sure he was ok.

    Cue lots of crying and whinging yesterday and unsettled night again last night. Have returned to work today and have sent Alex to my mums, instead of childminders, for lots of Grandma cuddles.

    TFI Friday I say :rolleyes:

    Congratulations on being an Uncle Bruno :)

    Right, which one of you lovely ladies wants to go pick up Keira for me? It's dinging with rain, I have no hat or umbrella, and it's cooooooooold. I just know she's going to moan at me coming home.

    Blah blah pick me up, my legs are broken
    No, I have a sore back
    Waaaaaaaah my nails will fall off if you dont pick me up
    No
    But my teeth are turning black, you gotta pick me up!
    No
    Wahhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaah moan moan whinge grumble

    *Picks her up*

    Ahhhhh nice and cosy :D

    and me? :mad:

    I still haven't done the dishes, hoovered the hall though, still the living room to do, clothes to put away, dinner to make, meh meh meh.

    I'm seriously considering hiring a cleaner, but my flat is quite small and cluttered, does that matter? Do they do the dishes, that's the most important thing!!

    Right, the pressing work task is completed (with Molly sitting on my knee "helping" because Husband boogered off for a nap and left me to it) and now I am off for a bath, I think, or perhaps a toasted sandwich and then a bath.

    I do really want a toasted sandwich. And a cup of tea.

    Toby's Cousin had a card shown, but his parents missed recording it. I looked on On Demand and Iplayer but no luck.

    She would do it for free Weezl, except last time she knocked a glass off and smashed it :rotfl: I loved that glass, I pinched it from the pub :D

    Maybe I should just give my mum a few pounds to do it....

    I really just loathe housework! I'd rather eat OH's socks than wash a plate, and they stink!

    In other news, OH's mum is coming down with money for OH to do his twice a week lessons :rotfl: She paid for his sisters lessons so is paying for his and she said he should be doing it every night so he gets it done quicker....

    What a fortune though! They must make a packet, £30 an hour, - £5 in petrol, - £5 wear and tear on the car. So about £20 an hour!

    I'm going to apply for a job in a pub when I get home, it's a Fri and Sat night, 6pm - midnight. I could do that! well I've never worked in a bar but the timings are perfecto! I don't even need to work, I just want too!
