I have just been informed by DH that the dog has eaten DS3's shin pads:mad: That is something else for me to buy which was not in my budget:mad::mad:

Thanks Taxi,

Kids are at home today as it is an INSET day so at least I have the morning off:)

I must admit to buying some wine on the way home last night I now remember ( apart from the money thing) why I don't drink during the week anymore:(

Hope you manage to get enough money together for your bills and that your weekend is stress free;)

love

Thanks DC ,

The "plan " at the moment is to have 3 days off but will have to see what is waiting for me when I get to work later.

There is a big temptation to work over the Bank holiday as I could really do with the extra money but I also need some "me" time desperately:) . Its a vicious circle as when I am at home I feel i should be working and when I am working I really want to be at home:(

The weather forecast is not looking too good ( heavy rain!) so not planning any days out , other than walking the dog !

The boys are now fighting AGAIN so work suddenly seems appealing:)

Hope you have a lovely weekend , Sweetie;)

Love

Kids have gone upstairs... so peace is restored for a while. Dog is now scratching at door to be let in ( forgot about him for a minute:o) and I am now going to make myself some Tea, toast & marmite. AND I am still in my jammies;)

40somethingmum

What did I say about peace ??? DS1 came down on smelling toast, so I quickly spread some marmite on ( he no like;)) and then gave him a valuable life lesson on how to make toast himself . ( I will regret that soon I am sure) DS3 now wants toast:mad: .
