  • eyelids propped up with matchsticks - woke for a bathroom visit at 2.30 - and DS wasn't in! Stayers awake until he came in at 3.40 then struggled back to get back to sleep!

    Consequently feel like goo this morning - and I have so much to do!

  • Maybe starting the day with a mug of tea in front of the 'puter is not a good idea.
    Got an email about a friend - not really unexpected but a shock when I read it all the same.

    If there is anything you want to do get on with it

    If you are concerned about your health nag until they check it properly

    Hello all! Been away a few weeks. DH has been off. He totally messes up my routines!

    Need to take children to school, return carpet cleaner (carpets look good! :D) & go to Morrisons & then I'll make a start.
    Will catch up later.

    Hope everyone is well

  • Morning! How is everybody on this not too cold but bloomin damp morning? I was rudely awoken by my daughters alarm going off in the lounge - when it should've been in her bedroom! Kids eh! I needed to get up anyway. Got another headache - no 4 in a row - I know what it is and have been to Drs b4 but nowt he does I just have to suffer these symptons every month like we all do :(

    It is Exam week at Uni this week. I only have 1, which is set for 3pm tomorrow - I have to give 3 drugs to a "patient" in the correct manner explaining all the drugs to the mentor. Sounds easy and it it really, but you can fail for little things not being said. I need to recap and revisit my revision on the drugs we will be using.

    Hubby is home today so that along with nerves I don't know how much flying I will be getting done today - I am pretty much on top of the kitchen so it shouldn't be long to do that today. I want to get the garage cleared and sorted tho. Having only moved in here in June it is still a mess and needs organising so A) I can find stuff and B) I can put my winter stockpiles in there and C) the Landlord is coming for a checkup on Wednesday eve.

    I have started My Christmas shopping and bought my 2 daughters their Big presents, just gotta pick them up on Tues (hence need a place to hide them - garage??). They are both having tvs in their rooms. Will be the first time they have had a tv each and will so stop the squabbling.

    Right off to start the day - both kids have been in the shower, one already decluttered off to school. The other one is getting dressed time for me to hit the shower and then crowbar OH out of bed to help me with the Garage/rubbish to tip.

    Talk later my luverlies xxx

    P.S. I got my 2 essays in on time last week. Feeling good!

  • Hello Ladies! I'm afraid I come with head hung low, haven't been flying for months and now I'm 25weeks pregnant with a toddler and the house is just lots of piles of stuff that I don't seem to have storage for!

    I dont want to be clearing the house when I start my maternity leave in 9weeks time, I want to be having some time for me as ds will be in nursery.

    So I need a good kick up the backside, and a huge amount of motivation, which left when I got bad morning sickness and never returned!

    Ds has tumble teds at lunch time, so about to go get some clothes on and get washed, get ds washed and dresses too. Then put the bin out for dustmen come and then start on the list.
