Pigpen, can I have the day off then???..................runnin to escape flyin mules...........

Mumto5

Thank you for all the birthday wishes, I've had the best time - big party Saturday Night and a trip to London with my DH to watch Hairspray. I'm only 40 once and I've done it big style! I'm really behind with my flying. DH is away in America until Tuesday so I have to catch up with the housework and try to run my demanding family - 7 separate car journeys and one walk to school and back doesn't leave me much time to do anything..... I have a 120 mile round trip tomorrow so I don't suppose I will attempt much flying tomorrow. Off to s/s kitchen before I collect DD1 from work - the last and final trip of the day.

DW filled and done... governors meeting done... car is going in to the garage tomorrow @ 8am for a new cam belt, so I need to remember to dress in walking stuff and take gym stuff (will walk into gym and do weights, then go to running shop, then walk back) and also to muck it out before I go . So I'll be out till lunchtime... back just in time for my work calls.

evening everyone

I see you have all been busy flying today:T:T
I was out shopping with my support worker this morning and then went and got my haircut this afternoon and then NN came and fixed my security light - have also done all my daillies and wrapped bits that need to be posted tomorrow (next supported shopping trip)

not much of my list but it will improve by tomorrow night.

eeping one of each thing in the cupboard and going to store the rest in the garage until it is needed The log will be stuck to the inside of the cupboard door so I know what is where for.

sounds very organised and impressive :T:T what!!! 102 :eek: blimey thats lots of good intentions:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: well I guess you wont have to buy much for a while!!
macpep well done on the win:T
mozzy I know its not always possible but could you get DH to help with the lists - tell him if he helps then the work will be done quicker - you can both chill and will have MORE quality time toogether?
Diva hello honey - nice to have you back and I hope things are a bit better for you now. continued thoughts and prayers for Michelle and Tris
hypno huge (((hugs))) honey - I hope you have somewhere to sleep in the meantime - why dont you give the room a good going over and sort out and make it yours instead of one you shared - could you manage to give it a lick of paint? maybe turn it around and it will be your haven for chilling in now.
ceebeeby sorry for laughing honey but the vision of the hairspray fight made me laugh and youngest looking like a muppet!!!! well done for confiscating - that seems to be working for a few mums - WELL DONE on the wardrobe:T
Sarah 'return to work' are you going back after maternity leave - sorry for being nosey - just interested - when are you due back?
Jinky hope you survive the 40th and are not too under the weather tomorrow;)
hex (((hugs))) pet- that is not a good morning to have - and you need a citrus candle rather than a sweet/flowery one - even a plain one will help. hope the website is progressing and I would be chasing that BACS payment - I think it should be through by now if they have done it right ( rolls eyes!!!)
johnina your world is at least sane compared to here:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: on a serious note I hope you are safe walking about woods and hills with your ipod on?
Mumof2 if money is the important issue here at the moment then I would be inclined to go with the hall job and as you say its easily within your capabilities and comfort zone and you can keep your existing typing too. the baby singing sounds like fun but you maybe need to research whether or not there is much interest -could you do it part time after you have saved for the course???? (I see a few have already given you the same thoughts - sorry to be late!!!) go gor the admin job - I will keep everything crossed - be sure to tell us how you are progressing
Dusty glad you enjoyed the skiing - hope you are not so sore:T hope DS gets better soon and especially before the hols.
ragz Congratulations to you and DH and welcome to the world Abigail (lovely name) - thank goodness for your MIL and Sil and all the cleaning you did before - it is certainly going to make your life easier for nowxx and poor DS - I hope his spots dont get too bad.

Triker you can hide on here with us - I think you need some of these
gotnodosh for you too honey -could you get the court/solicitor to sort out a contact/visitation order so that he cant pester you - and that he has to be supervised when seeing DD - IMHO she shouldnt be around someone who is drinking either.
Ishtar well done to DH:T:T
soappie hugs for DD - is that the same one she split up with to come and stay at home -had she been seeing him again - or is this someone new - I think I am confused!!! you are only being a loving Mum but ...get a grip!!!:rotfl:
Valli sounds scary! hope the roads have improved tomorrow - DOH!!! what am I saying ....you dont go to work tomorrow:T
embb sorry to hear you had car trouble again this morning - hope it is better tomorrow xx

special love and hugs to Lady L
hugs to all the poorlies - large amd small

toots xx

Well, I have apathetically listed another 6 items on ebay. 4 have already got small bids, which is keeping me going, I just find it so tedious ... that's really lazy isn't it!!

...

I have come to the conclusion that I need a free food processor (none of my resolutions will allow the purchase of one!!) have tried hinting at NSNDH but I actually don't think he knows what a food processor is, so just looks bewildered.

Have a huge pile of stuff to go on ebay too but CBA to list - it's soooo boring...

Try Freegle/Freecycle for a food processor - I got a new filing cabinet from there today, just posted a Wanted and a few hours later was the proud owner of a nearly new **free** item. It's also fab for getting rid of clutter to a new home!:)

I think it is a nice list... I didn't put on there to clean under the rim on the loo.. or even to look at it with a mirror... *waits for Sarah to come back after doing just that..... *

*fires a long range @r$e-seeking mule at Toots because she left me off her Oscar list AGAIN!!*

I'm right sensitive you know!!!
