    Just having a cuppa and we need to set off for the gremlins.. why does 3pm come round so much faster than 7pm?

    Baby bits put away and the shopping for DD's 1 and 3 is deposited in their rooms.

    Might get the other cardy for the baby sewn together later.. then I can finish the one I started yesterday. I bought wash powder so I can get all the bits washed in a few weeks when the grots are at KH's and it is decent weather.. I need another changing mat to leave at OH's mums and I am looking for a small box.. no I'm not I just had an idea.. the box the thorntons freebie chocs came in at christmas might do.. and if it doesn't I'll get a small stacking box from the shop round the corner.. small box to keep baby toiletries in for when we stay as his mums.. saves dragging more than necessary back and forth each time! I need a travel cot for there too and a few bits of bedding I think, though I'll take a sleeping bag back and forth with me.

    Best go get the beasties!.. back soooooooon!!

    That is sooooo true, the clock is def slower for those 4 hours!!!!

    I'm going now too.............

    Haven't done a thing today. Feeling rather grotty, no energy whatsoever. Been fighting to keep my eyes open all afternoon. Got to do school run in a minute, will see if that wakes me up and makes me feel a bit better eh?

    Hi all,
    I would be grateful for some advice.

    I started a 2 year course in September. Each year is paid for at the beginning of the year. I have enjoyed it but have found that it is a considerable amount of work. I have also found out that the next 'stage' will cost so much more than i can afford and will never lead to the job i was doing it for.
    I have 'put the time in'( i am a working mum) but am faced with exams in 2 weeks and nothing is sticking. I feel this is more than exam nerves and realistically, cant see myself passing more than 1/2 ( which would then lead to retakes and then not being able to continue with the 2nd year anyway)

    I dont give up on stuff but sometimes that just means stuff goes on longer than it should have!!

    I am thinking i should acknowledge i have enjoyed the last year but accept that i have tried to go too far,

    Cheers
    H xxx

    HHC at 2 carried on to school time, just back now and having a breather with a cuppa before doing dinner.

    I did manage to return all gibble to it's correct place, so a place for everything and everything in it's place, whole house. WM x 1, Airer x 1, TD x 2 (drizzly rain and overcast here), DW x 1, S&S Kitchen, LR, Bathroom, Toilet, hoovered through all downstairs, emptied and washed all bins, recycling done. :j

    Cheering up vibes to all fed ups and poorlies since this afternoon. I've got a Drs appointment tomorrow at 10 and an appointment with the continence nurse at 12.30. I've nearly finished my chart for her. I've written a list of moans for the Dr (AF related) so he is going to love me :D
