Greenbee - I sent you an email
- will look at it tomorrow.
Serena - thanks for your email...:A I'm putting that off too, otherwise I won't get any work done!
Triker - very well put. Pigpen - I hope you get answers to some of these questions.
Minimal flying once more, but I have finished the first draft of one of my 4 overdue papers and sent it off to a colleague to check. As I finished one last night, that means I've only got two papers and two presentations to sort out and I might actually be back on track!0 -
piggers - you have my sympathy, take care of yourself and your mum xx
How ridiculous, your poor uncle and those kids such a shame. at least now you all know, that's the main thing.
Toots:- I'll have a look tomorrow for you, there's a polish shop about 20 minutes walking distance away from me. I'll have a look in the Asian food store as well, might have in there.
when and picked up the kids fmor they friends house, had a nightmare as soon as i arrived. DS1's friend had a full on tantrum because i said he could come round tomorrow instead of today.By this time its was 6:30pm., OH had been at work for 13 hours and still hadn't arrived home (he always calls me when he gets back) so knew he was going to be shattered. I explained all this to the parents as i felt so guilty. His parents petted him up and glared at me, was so annoyed:mad:. If my boys behaved like that i'd have told them off royally.

Pigpen - what Triker said! I can't begin to imagine the thoughts going through your head, but go easy on the scrubbing and look after yourself.
I actually did get off my bum and made a start on our bedroom. :T In HHC x3 I managed to: change a light bulb and dust the fitting, de-web one wall and dust woodwork, dust top of my wardrobe, empty one crate of stuff (mainly photos and old postcards).
My side of the bed is now covered in clothes. Luckily DH isn't back yet, so I can get on with putting them away or at least sorting them. I wish I could hoover the floor I've cleared, but kids and NN wouldn't approve, I'm sure.
There's still lots left to do, but at least I can open my wardrobe door again, so putting clothes away shouldn't be a problem anymore. OK, best get the bed cleared now. See you all in the morning.0 -
Morning All :wave:
Not had time to catch up, hopefully will later, hope you are all well, gotta get cracking tonight and tomorrow, we are away from Friday thru until Monday and I have not packed a thing and am working Friday :eek:
Went to see the wee caravan last night and bought it, I am so, so pleased as we have saved so hard for it, we collect it tomorrow night as they still had a lot of their own stuff in it :T:T Unfortunately we are away so won't get a chance to "play" with it until we come back (Sorry if OT) but was so excited, had to share
Still sitting here in jammies and I leave in 15 mins :rotfl::rotfl:
Special love to Lady-L, Toots & Diva as always xx

DD has gone to work with DH today so just DS at home. Not sure what's on the agenda for today but I can imagine DS will want a friend round.
Soappie - posi-coping vibes for you.
Piggers - look after yourself shug
Mumto5 - that's what my DD does - that's why I've come back from my weekend away to a mountain of ironing which DH washed over the weekend - there was about 6 bits when I left!

Pigpen - so sorry don't beat yourself up.
Terrible night. DD2 started sickness bug at 3.45. WM on x3 already. Hours of sleep in last 2 days >6. I look terrible.
DSis called at 5.45 from the nursing home Nan is fading fast. My toxic father is booking flights to come from his home in Spain.
DS3's birthday. He is 6 today.
Kids have apologised. DH read the riot act to them in the car on the way to football. They are all grounded for the rest of the week. He means well but that makes loads more work for me.0
