Sunnygirl_2

Spent yesterday afternoon assembling our shed with DH. Just got to put the felt on the roof and it'll be finished. Could only do it when DD2 was asleep in the afternoon then had to stop until the girls went to bed. Managed to do a bit more but it got dark so had to stop. Unfortunately it rained this morning so didn't want to felt the roof until the wood dried completely.

Other than that I've done mountains of ironing and ran 3 miles yesterday morning. Planning on doing 6 miles tonight and putting a few things on ebay too.

I'll post a list...not to finish things tonight but to see what definately needs doing first next week.

My mum and dad divorced when I was 6, and it wasnt my dad who did the bad-mouthing, it was my Mum.

Same here - it's my mum that does the bad-mouthing and she walked out on my dad 12 years ago and then divorced him 4 years ago. She said some awful things and tried to make us take sides. (She first asked me to leave with her when I was 17!).

To listen to her sometimes, you'd think she was forced at gunpoint to marry my dad and stay with him for 35 years!

She really copped when I told her dad and I were going to Belfast :mad: I mean she's only been to Kenya, New York, Milan, Copenhagen, etc., and on a Caribbean cruise in the past 3 years!

Dad said to say she could come with us :rotfl::rotfl:


Anyway, hex and MOAM

Ready, Steady, Go .............

See you in half an hour!

HHC / HHP 5:30 - 6:00 anyone?

I'll join you - need several HHC's to get caught up on being away for the week. DS happily sploshing in the paddling pool - silly child insists that bathing in pants rather than swimmers is the way to go. Baggy pants - eww!

OK - quick cuppa - and lets go go go!!

Bank Holiday Monday ~ Bits of not very much!
Level One
Wash the manky windows you have ignored every week it has been on the extras!
Level Three
Tidy one cupboard.. any cupboard bt opening one which is already tidy and saying you did that one is not good enough

Extras

1. Ring/visit a friend or relly you haven't seen/spoken to in a while!

Managed to nip out when it stopped raining to plant some radishes, beet, spring onions, salad leave, peas and beans and potatoes.

Just managed it before it chucked it down again

Washing drying on the airer now

That's all for me this week - will be back on the new thread later on tonight, now off for some tea and then watch a DVD and paint my toenails a pretty bright pink colour

Afternoon all
I have had a productive day, especially in the garden, making the most of the last day of my half term!

Today have:
1. Vacuumed downstairs
2. Planted lettuce
3. Power washed the bird feeders
4. Put away all the stuff DD / OH leave lying about ... just watch them ask where it has gone before the evening is out
5. Took OH shoe shopping for new sandals ...... decisiveness is not his strong point!
6. Listed loads of DD's stuff on ebay to help her get money for college....

Now off swimming - not sure how I find time for work

Provided you got a C or above in Maths and English, which you need for so many things now.

we do the edxecel maths and it's tomorrow afternoon.

English seemed fine apart from failing to turn over the page and therefore not discovering a 3rd poetry question!:o but half the year did that!

Like I said before - born in the chinese year of the awkward child! Would get an A* for facebook and f"£$%^g around!:mad:

Mine managed all the questions she says.. unless she missed it entirely lol.. I'll go check what she has tomorrow... yep.. maths tomorrow afternoon.. and english the mornign after..

She already has an A in maths and the english is a forced resit.. we had told the school she didn't want to do it but her pig of a head of year 'accidentally' entered her for it because SHE wants her to have an A*.. despite the pressure of the rest of the exams.. I think it is damn unfair and wrote to the head saying if DD chose not to do the exam after we had said she was not to be entered we would NOT be paying the entry fee and they could dock it from HoY's wages!

Jo.... thank you.. if mine was messing about that much I'd simply tell him to bog off and he wasn't seeing them at all.. being reliable and consistent is part of being a parent to fail in those 2 things means you forego the title IMO.

I just want him to stop being so horrible to them and confusing them, for their sake.
