Morning lovelies xxx

Lots to do this week! Hubbles and NJ are down South so am taking the chance to get the flat ship shape for once and for all!

Last night sorted Nathan's room. Tonight is the wardrobes and clothes drawers. Tomorrow will be our bedroom and lounge (with the clothes away will just be a wee tidy and dust) and Friday is the kitchen (including fridge!) and Saturday morning I shall clean the bathroom, hoover through and hopefully get to sit down and do some beatifying in the afternoon:D In between all this I will be doing laundry, working full time and eating healthily:A

    morning all

    scary today as my car is in for its MOT so i am bricking it at the moment just expecting them to come back with a whole list of problems that i really cant afford to repair but need to since i work 30 miles from my home and am the only worker in the house so need my car to get to work.

    especially when on top of this i didnt even get a interview for that job which would have been perfect for me.

    and the fact my wee one is 2 in under a month (i am feeling old today)

    on top of this my mum and dad are leaving today to go back home and i am not going to get to see them (other than on Skype) till around august :(

    but doing a little dance i am going on holiday at the end of the month yipee

    Luc.........you're on Fire Girl!!!

    Glad to see you so well xx

    I am almost at the point of setting fire to all of these past exam papers.

    No pain No Gain I guess :o *wanders back to dining room table covered in papers hoping that something will sink in this time*

    Laters everyone.
    But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.

    The prize is a shopping trip on Sunday and having the place sorted will mean I can sit and chill after dinner is cleared away rather than feel I ought to be doing something...

    What exam you sitting Lou. I realised last week that I will probably never sit another exam EVER! Feels kinda weird...

    ha i have everything crossed at the moment for the MOT :s

    i know my step son is 18 in just over a month step daughter is 13 going on 30 and my wee one is just ocming up 2 in under a month just everything so scary,

    i still feel about 20 in my mind just a shame the rest of me carried on going although i am still not very old in reality just feeling it at the moment as i have been relegated to the floor whilst my parents have been visiting as my darling wife offered up our bed (not to bothered) since they are both disabled and we have a memory foam matress which is good for them, however she got the spare bed and i was volenteered for the floor since they are my parents

    Day 4.......and I've got severe cravings this morning....so need to distract.

    Do you think they'd mind (uni) if I went in earlier to get the bloody letter they're meant to be doing for me....I gave them the form and she said midday, but I want to get it sorted

    Have you got some polo's or somethkng Elf. You could go in early but they may not have the letter ready. Take some knitting or reading just incase.
