Piggers - that must be a relief with school not being over and done with yet

No, I could really do with it out now.. it is too hot and I am in pain, not sleeping well, not hungry, super-tired etc.. I was hoping to get beyond school finishing next Wednesday then at some point between half term and yesterday they decided school was to be open until next Friday.. I'm having a really crappy time with the children and just want things to be normal.. whatever level of chaos that brings us.. and be able to manage a day without cramps in my tum and feet in my ribs snd blubbering over nothing.. and once I start I can't stop!

Hi fly ladies, I haven't done anything from the list but I have been a busy bee:

I went to Mr T straight from work, feel like a proper flylady now as I bought my first ever bottle of stardrops!! (Very MSE too...only £1 and 33% extra free!). Then I came home, unpacked the shopping, portioned out the meat to go in the freezer andset th BM going to make some pizza dough. I then prepped some strawberries and raspberries for pudding and did the washing up. I've also been to get weighed and have lost 1.5lbs.....then came home and had HM pizza for tea lol!

Mother nature saved me having to water my veg patch....we've had plenty of rain here in Lincolnshire!!!

Went round charity shops try to locate a Haynes Manual for a 1996 Mk 4 Fiesta 1.8 Encore. Now The Bloke has one, can I find a manual? No chance.

Then back to find that KH1 has, despite the payment of 7 years of unpaid maintenance only going in on Friday, has already instructed the CSA to come after me for money in respect of DD1. The CSA people were very apologetic, but in some strange way I find it incredibly amusing that they couldn't get him for 7 years, but they are after me in under 7 days. Oh well, it's not as if I'm not liable for her - and I'm not a good for nothing scumbag who would rather make their child suffer than give their ex money they are entitled to for child maintenance. :A

Amazon for the Haynes Manual? Second hand?

And roll eyes smiley at the CSA.

Hope your parrot did well:D

Have restocked the sticks for the black dogs to chase and am investigating a "throwing machine" so the dogs don't come back quite so quickly...

meanwhile, have disposed of 39 objects in 19 categories (amongst other things 9 snowstorms to the charity shop and 16 hangers returned to the dry cleaners...) paid 2 bills on line and one at t'bank, been to a looong meeting in preparation for another one tomorrow, stripped the bed, put one batch of laundry away and washed another load. Went to 6 charity shops and came out with 1 CD.... and I don't have to worry about tax paperwork till September!:T
