    My ribs hurt.. :(

    Heaps of stuff listed for sale in various places.. it has to sell sooner or later from one place or another surely?!

    Just waiting for Mimi to get back and we will drop her off at KH's.. then food time for me and OH (I may send him off to the chippy!).. I told KH DD1 was revising for her english lit exam tomorrow because she didn't want to go.. she hates going because he talks to her in his 'posh telephone voice'.. she said 'I think he forgot about all the times he swore at me and called me names and the time DS1 punched him and broke the glass in the door because he was holding me up the wall by my shirt neck' She is also annoyed because he doesn't speak to her he just tells her all her disdemeanours and personal faults etc and then discusses her in the other room with his woman loud enough that she can hear.. then he wonders why she won't go, and why I won't make her!!

    chances are I won't be around Thursday though as I shall probably turn in for the INSET (unpaid - own choice *winces from arm being up back*) because it will be good for my professional development *rolls eyes* Part time is part time and then voluntary on top I feel *grumble*

    Does anyone know what sites schools advertise on for TA's or do I just go into the schools and ask? TIA xx
    You could send a CV round on spec, and look on your county council's online jobs site.

    Oh, the quote on the new look thread doesn't appear to work......

    I had quoted carlsb's post but it seems to have disappeared into the ether. Fortunately I think I can remember what I was going to say - it was along the lines of your Danny hun and how military hospitals are the best.... particularly with the pizza and beer..... and hugs on DD and the pregnancy - she should take it a bit easier.


    And Piggers, no wonder your DD1 don't want to visit KH from what you've said, he's being a bully and playing psychological games with her head. You need to speak to your solicitor about that...... (my exh2 was just the same)

    Well, my plans for flying this afternoon came to nought but I've done what is probably best. The weekend's decorating and gardening and walking into work this morning caught up with me so I just went and sat in the garden, in the sun this afternoon, reading a book with BB lying in the shade of my chair. Nearly nodded off at one point.

    So I'm going to do dinner and then have an early night. Which will probably be broken when DD gets home about midnight. But hey, I'm relaxed so that's what counts.
    I am the leading lady in the movie of my life
