    Good afternoon all, well not too much done here (but we are on hols :) ).....I have swept through the van, DD filled the second water barrel (she is a good girl, really), popped to the shop, connected the waste, made, eaten, and cleaned up after lunch. Also caught a little bit of sun and watched some tv!!!! DD has gone to see her friends who came out of school earlier and now I'm wondering what to do.....tv, sun or hoover the awning?????? Awning is not oo bad and can wait till tomorrow.....not a lot on tv so think I will sit out for anther 30/40 mins then see what I can do.....(cupboard fronts could do with a wipedown, and need to think about teatime.....

    Hope everyone else is ok and hugs to all in need xx

    I'll tell you what pals you lot are I ventured into the boys bedroom yesterday about 10am and never got out of there till 11pm last night. Did any of my pals come looking for me? No they just left me there to rot!:p

    But i bet it looks pretty darn fine now, wanna come do my boys room.:D

    I gave up the boys room once i couldn't get the bunk beds done.:mad: So they will be staying up for awhile. So i went for a snooze only for my mum to ring in a panic, there's a bomb scare outside the town and she was worried incase i was there.

    Right i need to give myself a good shake and figure out whats next.
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.

    Levels 1 and 2 have been completed today.

    I plan to do a proper update at the end of the week, probably tomorrow evening, and hope it doesn't look too much as if I've been a lazy little cub.:D

    Happy Holidays to all those going away in the next day or so.:wave:

    Oh hasn't got a job :( I understand that they are making cuts in the teaching profession and that they need to relocate permanent teachers but it is very unfair on the NQTs. There should hopefully be some temporary work coming his way but we just have too wait, I hate this uncertainty.

    Happy Birthday mummyto5 and mumofjust2

    Greenbee - good luck with it all

    Valli - oddly enough the littles think the TV etc is valid spending but they are thinking more about turning stuff off. My coffee machine costs far more than I realised :eek:

    DW is on, need to get the WM on. Must go back into the supermarket order and add some pegs so I can stop using the TD.

    Bin collection day tomorrow and mine is only half full. Time to have a jump in the bin and see what else I can squash in rather than waste money on a skip during half term. I do have such fun :p.
