Hi all
Sorry I don't have time to come on here regularly but I am really pleased with myself this week I have been keeping my sink shiny - shock! What was really fab last night was that my bro in law popped round unexpectedly and my house was looking visitor friendly I had some beef, mince and meatballs that all had to be eaten tonight so bunged the beef in the slow cooker earlier, cooked the mince and meatballs along with a lovely big batch of homemade sauce Had the mince with said sauce and potato and carrot mini waffles for tea, having the meatballs with the sauce and pasta tomorrow, (yay - tomorrow's tea sorted)! Having the beef in 2 meals- cooked dinner and chilli or pie and that's Friday and Saturday meals sorted also - woop woop! Also I was so good earlier - went to loo and gave sink a wipe over while I was up there, so much easier now I'm starting to keep on top of things And it's catching! My youngest, (12 year old boy), came downstairs this morning after his shower, grabbed a dust cloth and wiped the coffee table over! I would never had believed that that would really happen if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes
So have to go now to sort school uniforms and work clothes then sort some paperwork for college
Hope you're all having a lovely week - catch you all the weekend if not before
Brightest blessings,
Jenny x

My room is once again full of random and miscellaneous crap..

Don't let toots find out... she'll be round to evict it again...

Hope you feel better soon. I had a miserable day yesterday and got really fed up with myself. Went to the gym this morning and a bit of boxing soon got it out of my system (probably not the ideal solution for you in your current situation though!)

Evenlya ll?

How is everyone today?
I woke up feeling violently, pretty sure its because of the new tory minister. I am so not impressed, can see it now. Education, health, emergency services cut. Council tax rises ( i already pay more than a quarter of my income in CT:eek:) to pay for the short fal.
Turned at the the school me and another politically active parent (i,e only me and her) felt depressed and saying "this is the end".
Had a run in with toxic former friend, who nearly threw my son and her daughter onto the road, just so that she could avoid me. The stupid bint grrrr, felt like smacking her, feel so sorry for her daughter. I stopped being friends with after she was very racist and called me a "white b****h because her eldest didn't want to get married. She blamed me for this as i am not married with children and hardly ever spoke a word to her daughter apart from "hello" as she got into a car and drove off.

AnW'sMum Thanks as usual honey xx I thought i had better tell the ladies of my idea for your new position - not quite the Cabinet - I think we should take over the bank of England and put AnW'sMum in charge! NO more stupid borrowing and lending and getting the country into debt!!!! of course the flyladies would get loans with no interest!!!!
Sunnygirl hope the foot heals enough for Saturday and then your next training:T
natty huge (((hugs))) and soothing drinks for that poor throat - maybe you should see about it because that has been a while - you need to look after yourself as you are susceptible to things when you are run down - like when you have been over doing it - like when you are cleaning other peoples house (even though she is a friend in need!) you are an angel but please take care of yourself xxxxxx
pigpen gosh that has taken a while to get sorted - and you really didnt need it hanging over you - and you will have to learn to say 'NO' now and then - you cant shoulder the responsibility for everything IMHO (you can tell me to butt out!) could you be needing to rest in bed that day - maybe squeak will be extra uncomfortable and your legs will have swollen or something! ooooh ooooh you said you were hormonal - get more hormonal and be really [STRIKE]upset[/STRIKE] hysterical that you cant go as it would be tooo much for you:(
LameWolf hope the driving went ok tonight

As Minster of transport, I here by do demand that all shopping trollies wheels travel in the right direction.

All baby buggies / prams etc are safe and they also travel inthe right direction.

All Minsterial air flights are forthwith banned, all Minsterial travel must be either bus / tube / trains, off peak and 2nd class, no more VIP 1st class, or special perks for parking etco n yellow lines.

:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
