Goodness I can't remember that and I used to teach secondary maths!
oo was this praise for me?:D:D:D:D:D
Valli please may I pm you about school issues?
been offline as had to take DD to the quacks. She looks like someone has blacked her eye...yesterday's delicate enquiry (by me) was met by screaming banshee wails (AF) anyway phone call from school - it was causing her pain and problems so she now has AB's - medicine because we haven't quite cracked the tablet issue yet. Diagnosis is a blocked cyst - still looks like she's been on the receiving end of a right hook though...very swollen
Had long and detailed discussion with ExH this morning about DS's 'issues' with money - ie spending like an idiot then being skint/blowing £20+ on delivered pizza (as though he can afford it) - note to self - print out Teen Cash Guide and hand to DS...
because exH was delivering £20 that DS has asked to borrow to go to M'hall *rolleyes*
still, on the plus side, it was he who decluttered DD from school.
Ooh everywhere is clean - and almost all my ironing is done!
STARS PLEASE?
many thanks

I pottered about this morning and did a load of little annoying jobs then when Maria the cleaner came at 2 she did her usual things and then I got her to help me sort out a couple of things in the bedroom - it turned in to a mammoth job
we cleraed the top of the wardrobe and put back other stuff that isnt needed so often
we emptied the shelves and re-stacked with christmas presies, handbags, hats and scarves, spare toiletries, etc etc all nice and neat in my Ikea boxes and baskets.
we filled the blanket chest
we emptied a box stool and it was re-filled
we stuffed a duvet onto the bedsettee
we emptied a linen basket that was full of ebay wrapping stuff and that is now stored in the hall cupboard
my lappy now has a table
etc etc etc
then when she went i realised I hadnt wrapped a sale and it had to go today - so off I went with the big box to the PO and popped onto Mr T's and got something for my tea - I was only in the door 5 mins when my carer appeared!!!
Both Maria and I were jiggered - we did too much but I am pleased with what we did!!!
off to do stars!!
toots xxPeace will be mine
could do better - must try harder
Live each day as if its your last
