Is it me? Have we been modernised? I must check in more regularly...

Decluttered lots of clothes today - more to do tomorrow. Still no money back from the builder, still no possibility of new builder. Shall I keep the scaffold as an art installation ask myself?

House is a tip so I will be back properly on Monday ready to do my lists.
Hope all are OK...

Germany have just won the Eurovision Song Contest - can't believe I sat through it all:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

PS. Nice see you back Penpen

Serves me right for cleaning the living room - DD has moved blankets and pillows in and has gone to sleep on the rug whilst watching cartoon after watching Fantastic 4 - Rise of the Silver Surfer.

Going to make her clean her bedroom tomorrow. [evil laugh]

I ended up in bed last night at half 8...:eek: but feel loads better for it.
I took the sander to the walls yesterday and to be honest it didn't make much of a difference so i'll sand it by hand tomorrow.

aj I hope its a good sign too - or are they just morons who tell you the arrangements in any case - just to confuse you?

Apparently they are just morons. Had an email from my lecturer, the Board of Examiners are meeting on June 15th and we will find out after that. Now need to find out if there is a date we have to submit our graduation application, not sure I want to temp fate and book everything beforehand.

Morning

It must be cooler out there as the heating has come on this morning :eek: but then again it is bank holiday weekend so it is the law for it to be cold wet and miserable! It's definitely cold, wet and windy so far although the sun is struggling to break through.

So far WM on and next load standing by, off to Sunday school soon.

Good morning

DS2 seems fine this morning and is playing happily with new toys. I'm glad he was still well enough to enjoy his party yesterday morning at a local playcentre. Not very old-style, but completely hassle free, especially given the wet weather yesterday.

ajmoney - keeping fingers crossed for you. I might follow in your footsteps over the next two years, if my boss supports me and can timetable my classes around attending uni a couple of times each week. There's an MA in applied linguistics I'm interested in. It includes an element of teaching english as a foreign language, which would be really useful. We have a small, but increasing number of students who come to us with limited English. Not that I need the extra work... 8 modules over two years with an essay each, followed by a dissertation.

I've got to go out later to buy a leaving present for our German assistant. We are meeting her in Sheffield tomorrow to say good-bye. Still need to choose a nice venue. Also must sort laundry, but I'm quite wheezy at the moment, so I'll pace myself.

See you all later. Hope you have a good day.
