Great news pigpen on clearing your overdraft! Your ex what a numpty :mad:
Hugs to those who need them
i did post a few messages but darn internet kept on going funny . So if i haven't mentioned anyone sorreeee.
Well the plastering done for now, i made one of the wall units without breaking it , so proud of my little achievement.

Had a nightmare with the kids last night, spent 20 minutes berating almost breaking the banister twice, jumping on the sofa and what does OH do.sits there looking hangdog while i'm telling him off as well for encouraging the kids. Men i tell ya,

Right list then to get the kids sorted for school.

Morning everyone,

It's going to be a lovely and productive day today - I can feel it in my bones!!!

Just chasing kids out of door into the frost with bellys full of warm breakfast and all wrapped up like toastie bundles!


Toochoosy – I’m not sure about schools, but I know your local Brownie / Guides would love any pencils / pens / colouring books!!
Pigpen – I think I’m jumping in half way through a story, so apologies for any repeats. But if his name can’t be removed from the mortgage, does that mean he’s tied there forever and ever? If he’s such a KH, when the fixed rate comes to an end, presumably you’ll go onto SVR, does this not then leave you very vulnerable? Does he pay anything towards the mortgage?
Sarah – congrats on friends teensy baby, wow to seeing baby arrive!
Mumof2 – grrrr! For you on your behalf. Is it too late to phone the store and get them to cancel??

Ooooh, I think it worked!!!

Passing on happy vibes to everyone in the flyladying vicinity (Just to add in a totally useless bit of TMI - I just had to look up the spelling of vicinity, and the page opened up on Spectacled Cobra - it doesn't take much but I am so impressed with the Concise Oxford Dictionary Ninth Edition for having the word Spectacled Cobra) ... and on that note I'm off to fly xxx

Morning

AnWs - Hugs to you honey and TURN THE OVEN ON!

AnWs don't forget to go to work....:p oh and put the timer on...:D

Thanks I knew I could rely on you :T

The oven is on, well on timer anyway, 40 potatoes wrapped in foil and across 3 shelves timed for 2.45 hours at 180 degress.There is a bit of leeway to leave them on a bit longer when I get in.

Bow for the shower and work, have a good day all.

I think I may have asked this before, but not sure what the responses were???., do the teachers/assistants think that I could take in some colouring boks/pencils/crayons to the school to use rather than binning them...............?????, (will send them on to our class xx)?????????????

They may go in charity bag otherwise...... TIA xx

Our infant school has wet play boxes which have been much used this last term! - always welcomes top up donations of crayons, pens, paper, colouring books.

Ask local school? or Freegle/Freecycle? local youth groups?

Yes, afraid so. I realised at 10.30 last night and immediately logged on to Mr S's website - no good; had to be cancelled by 4pm yesterday afternoon!

Must go and get dressed, then got school run, take DS to nursery cos DH is in America so muggins is doing it, walk the dog then may see about a bit of flying before I do some typing work. DH is going to try to Skype me between 12-1 but we'll have to see if that works out.

Grrrr, I'm so annoyed with myself - I forgot I have shopping coming this morning from Mr S. I'd only put a few things on the list that I know we're running out of (£12 worth) so am being charged £6 delivery and I'm going to have to go out tomorrow and do a proper shop :mad::mad::mad: Haven't planned my menu or anything so will be busy doing that as well today.

Lesson to self: check the date of shopping and get it all finalised 24 hours beforehand at the latest. Live and learn don't you.

I've done this. Very annoying.

Not a secondary school. Maybe a toddler/play group?
Good idea.
