    Wednesday Star please T:D:Dts!

    Had builder round today to look at windows and roof. Had Warm Front round to look at insulation. In between times did Wednesdays list and managed to declutter 3 binbags from the :eek:Attic of Doom:eek:. Also got 4 items of school uniform handed down and handed 6 on ....more out than in:T.

    Today I finally feel that I might be making some progress - just a little - but I can detect that the house is marginally less cluttered and quite a bit easier to clean...Am I flying at last?!

    If anyone wants an age 7/8 Peter Storm Stormtech anorak in blue with pink bits, PM me.

    Hugs to those who need and hope tomorrow is brighter in every way.

    I have bought my class a present - the WHOLE class!

    I have bought a new spotty dustpan and brush for my classroom, because, of course, the last one I bought has been borrowed - again! :grr:
    dustpan update - they love it and are fighting to use it ;);) - result - one clean floor! I might have to but another set (only £1.50 in Mr M!)

    Is it better to go in tomorrow and Friday and risk not getting better, or should I take all of the week off? Just worried that the time off is next to a holiday so it looks bad.

    Well I think I'm going to head back to bed to keep warm.

    Hugs to LadyL - if you need to call me today, you know I'm home.

    Evening all

    Triker - sorry your meds are making you ill. Thanks for sharing that fact, very interesting.

    Sarah - I am happy for your friend that her baby is here safe and well, the last few weeks must have been a strain. I hope she gains weight fast and is allowed home some time real soon

    DS3 dropped at cubs and went into the sainsbury opposite to do a shop using my last voucher.

    I need to clear up from dinner and collect from cubs. I feel another early night coming on as I'm very tired.

    OH:- well you are not doing a very good job!, you can see in there now and look!!!:mad:

    Gues who is cooking his own dinner tonight?? :TI might remove bed room rights tonight as well! grrrr :rotfl:
