Caught up with thread.

Long day at work, but fun - in a cutting and sticking mood today, so we have lovely posters of 'el dormitorio de mis suenos' (my dream bedroom) in the Year 7 rooms. And a lot of half cut up Argos catalogues.;)

If you are the parent of an 11-12 year old boy, please note that they require a White X-box, a black yellow sofa that converts to a bed, a gaming chair, and I-Pod. Nothing else.:cool:

Year 8 Parents' evening, home about 7.15. Now shattered.

I'll be flying again tomorrow - and I have to clear the side path along the house, as I am having work in the garden early Saturday morning - small extension to a the top terrace (that's a posh way of describing a small area of paving isn't it??:D) and starightening out the path - as I've now decided a square of paving would look much better than a quarter circle. I'm having a new washing line socket put in as well - which I've been waiting for OH to do for about five years.

Off to do the washing up now, as no-one else is volunteering, and then any rubbish on TV.

cycling yorkie - much admire your DD's courage. DS1 lost his two closest friends as a result of his illness - not so much the original illness, but the two or three years of episodes that followed...

Love and hugs.

newroadahead - welcome to the thread - I have sent you a pm with a few tips.
we have others who commute and work long hours too - there is no easy answer but I would suggest that you try to do a little each night - even if itsd just 30 mins so that you havent got loads to do at the weekend and you can relax - also training your DH is always a good idea:D

Well......shopping wasn't here by 5 past 9 and no call(..well, no message) to say it would be late. So, went to the local shop to get a couple of cans. Came back went out the back, with OH to have a ciggie and get the dog in. Came in and there was someone repeatedly knocking on the door and window......Tesco, and when I said he was late(9:25), he said he had been there for 10 mins, ooops, but if I had known he was going to be late I would have gone out the front for a ciggie and got the dog in when OH could hear the door (or vice verca).........

Anyway, I don't need to go to the shops tomorrow....(and Tesco haven't taken any money (yet)......
