    Oh wow.
    I have wireless :j
    So can post from downstairs (I tend to get 'stuck' when I go up to the/spare room study and spend/waste too much time)
    Wonder why I feel necessary to put in the 'spare room' bit? It is my study - that's what I use it for.

    Now just got to master using laptop pad.:rotfl:
    Anyway
    WM on
    Green bin out - they have changed our collection day and I nearly missed it - must try and get some more in before they get here.

    Morning all

    We have had a lazy morning so far as we were all watching child of our time last night (almost missed it :mad:) so Miss A and W were late in bed. I find it interesting as Miss A is the same age as those kids.

    Did loads of washing and drying yesterday, most of it got folded but there is some ironing to do. I kept going :eek: at the electricity monitor thingy that we set up! We might have to give up washing, drying, ironing, cooking...........:rotfl:

    So far today WM and TD on (so it hasn't affected me that much!)

    Off to jump in the shower and will then commence a HHC at 10am if anyone wants to join us.

    It's grey here today. DH still asleep in the tent in the garden, kids wanted to sleep out there but not on their own.

    I'll make him a cuppa and then shower and set the WM

    DS3 would like toast now oh and I have to get the neighbours rabbits in their run too.

    Morning all

    Woke up with a cold, so at least I know why I've not felt great this weekend. I'm in this week - thanks to everyone for the thread.

    Plan for this morning:
    start TD, WM and DW
    wrap presents for German assistant
    get myself and DS2 washed and dressed
    try to fit in other little jobs (oh dear, where to start...:()
    leave no later than 11.30
    take plastic recycling to Mr A's on the way to Meadowhall
    catch supertram into town to meet with colleagues/friends and assistant for lunch

    DH has a haircut to do and then he's promised to finally put up the rotary airer outside. It's probably going to rain now... I also want him to put all his clothes away so I can open the wardrobe doors again.
    I'm quickly going to sort the railcard now, as it will save us £6 when we go to Leeds on Thursday, then I'll get going with jobs. See you around tea-time. Hope everyone has a good day.

    Morning campers, well I got up with all good intentions :) Was going to put the washing out but it is horribly grey and miserable here, where is the sun?

    I've had some water and some plain biscuits - I had to take my meds but can't take them on an empty stomach but as I can't eat anything much at the moment I had to improvise. Now I feel sick again and rather iffy. So am heading back to bed - DH will have to amuse himself today again. Bless him he has been brilliant while I haven't been well, although not sure how he long he will be like this as it is wearing thin on me being ill so gods knows what it is doing to him..lol.

    Hopefully will be back later when I am feeling a bit better and somewhat less squiffy :)

    I did try to post last night but DS spotted what I was typing.
    His friend has told him his ex GF has split with the lad sh took up with shortly after dumping DS, who, some of you may recall was devastated (young love *rolleyes*) and DS has admitted he still misses her. He went on FB and she accepted him and they were chatting...
    nothing aginst him/them BUT not NOW not in the middle of GCSes

    Valli I have only just found out about ... as well, and that from one of my students.

    Will your DS listen to me? I will tell him!

    sexymouse WTG, I am sure that eventually the Governors will have to get off their butts and do something.

    soappie hugs, and I will pray for a new job for you that is right.

Oh was showing off and his hat fell in the water, it was hysterical watching him trying to get it back.:D Not so good was spending time with Oh's biological father who's a bit of a !!!!!!.:mad: I won't go in to it but i won't be spending time with him again, he was so rude to me.:mad::mad:
