  • *shuffles in hanging head in shame*

    I have done not a thing this week, besides half hearted S&Sing and a few loads of washing. My head is well and truly up my bum. We will find out tomorrow if OH is getting paid for this month (his boss said the money would be in today and it's not, so not looking hopeful) and maybe find out today if he got the job he had an interview for last Friday today, which also isn't looking hopeful as he is under qualified and I doubt the company will want to train him. I want to crawl under a rock and come out once Christmas is over. DS1 has turned into a beast, with every other word being "No" yelled at the top of his voice and the baby is teething and generally miserable. Plus they both seem to think 5am is an acceptable playtime.

    Sorry for the moan but I thought I better explain my absence! I will get back on the bandwagon next week, once we know for sure what is happening and I don't have it hanging over my head. Hugs/spoons/sticks/assorted vibes to everyone x
    So, there are these boys,
    They kinda stole my heart,
    They call me Mummy

    Just wanted to pop in and say hello, had my Suitable Person Interview with Ofsted this morning to see if I am suitable to be a preschool chairperson... I've been doing it a year so I hope they say yes :rotfl:

    Just got home for some quick lunch before we have to go back out for preschool AGM, so much preschooly stuff in one day!

    Hellyboo - got everything crossed for you, I hope there is just a hold up with the pay and it's in there tomorrow. It's a horrible situation to be in, especially right before Christmas :( Let us know what happens xxxx

    Been working slowly through the house this week, spent all day yesterday in the boys room. It was spotless before they came home, now it's a mess again. :mad: Little swines will tidy it when they get home.

    DD complained because i didn't tidy her's so i'll spend hhc in there today. Mind you she is old enough to tidy it herself as is the boys.

    I also spent a good part of tuesday in our room but still have a long way to go there. No room to swing a cat, no storage, nothing.:(

    Today i've done 4 x washing, 3 x td, 2 x dw, taken all holey socks to the bin, cleaned the rabbit and hens out, put clean clothes away, printed photo's for my sister, sorted through birthday stuff (it all goes friday).

    Washing nearly all finished and then i'm gonna gut out the utility room, sort through a box of shoes, boots and get rid of loads of junk. :D

    CyclingYorkie biggest hugs to you and your family xxx


    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.
