Ok, this weather is just not funny anymore!
Off work today as part of my phased return, feeling a bit more positive having looked through the dreaded emails and managing to delete most of them because deadlines/dates had passed. Whistleblowing issue is being looked at and it has already been agreed that temp manager will never shadow the doors again!
Think I'm coming down with a cold (again), really should start eating more fruit/veg and maybe take some vitamins!
Meal plan and shopping list for the next week needs to be done today.
Hugs to all - there are plenty to go around.

Decluttering DS2 and DS3 to school this morning - starting late but that's ok.
I CAN DO THIS.
Yes you can! Good luck with it.
Jill I did read your comment thanks sweeite. There is a facegroup book some of the oiks have set up with details of another kid (who I know quite well through work) getting setup for being snowballed at lunchtime. I'm going email the links to the head this morning, not sure what other staff will be in for the normal order of reporting so going straight to him on this occassion.
Hoping to get lots of my outstanding bits done whilst the kids are at school. so will be back later for a list update - take care out there ladies.

hall stairs landing (study) DONE
Just bringing my list forward. I have stripped my bed. WM x 2 (kids bedding plus bits) is in the WM; I have put the recycling out and have been shouted at by DS who didn't get up and started the RANT...
I am getting good at handling the RANT. Now I just say 'no' and refuse to do whatever I need to do to make his life run smoothly again because he failed to do something.
So it went like this. He woke up late, too late to go to his friends for a lift. Would I take him? No. (Bear in mind I am not dressed and car is iced up). So he laid down and said he wasn't going to school as he has no way of getting there. Reminded by me, that he has legs. Then his guilt sets in so cursing he finally got up and went out! Lots of moaning and muttering but by me keeping out of it it doesn't escalate into WWIII. He has two alarm clocks and a mobile...not my job to wake him up and turf him out! I LOVE my DS's guilty conscience. DD has one too!:D:D;);)
