    I just need to carry forward & remember I DID make progress.
    I had sat about feeling depressed & just couldn't make myself move till after 4pm. Off uni & not on shift for work, so home supposed to be study leave.

    Also got laundry & dishes done, scanned 70 photos for friend (thought better just get that done tho actually didn't want to break off tidying by that time!!) :eek:

    Is there a list for 2moro, I just need to get going with mine again (in the morning this time)! Cheers. :)

    Evening all, hardly done anything since my last post. DD came home from school in a foul mood...its hormones I'm sure of it :eek::eek: Regular pattern has emerged and she's complaining she gets week long headaches but this is the first I've heard of them :mad: She also refused point blank to go to the walk-in centre today with her earache etc. Between the mood she was in and the headache I had I wasn't arguing with her.

    I did go out to work this evening twice (but only once with DD), for all of 15 mins :rotfl: Great this @voning when its in my own street. DD stayed in and did her homework while I knocked at about a dozen houses (we live closer to one end which is the end I needed to collect in ;)). She had her mobile next to her if she needed me & she's got to be trusted at some point! So she text me to tell me that someone had put 2 books through the door...so I text her back that I knew as it was me who did it :rotfl: I got one back just saying "oh" :rotfl::rotfl: Then when I got back I couldn't feel my fingers as they'd gone numb with the cold 2 doors off finishing. So instead of messing around with my keys trying to get in I knocked on the window (my family all do that - its our way of saying "its us") and she didn't open the door! I had to try and open the letterbox and shout that it was me :o Her reaction? "oh, you want me to let you in?" :wall: I swear I could have throttled her tonight :o

    I didn't get around to painting my nails, but I've put my purple top on and lit a candle earlier for Diva.

    I should really be ironing clothes and making my lunch for tomorrow but I just can't be bothered. So I think its going to be a slimmer soup & fruit for my lunch (must remember my own mug :mad:). Now I've just remembered my beds not made so I'll need to do that while my bath runs :mad: Going to get my bag ready and set the clothes I need to press out. I think I just need a shirt... or it could just be a tshirt. :o

    Later :wave:

    lists up for tomorrow and wednesday.. we have an all day affair at the hospital tomorrow with DD4 so I thought I'll be tired and forget or stressed out of my tiny mind and forget so it is all done.

    Still not sorted bags for tomorrow.. but I will and I intend taking the pushchair and trundling up to tesco for food and hopefully get Miss Baloo to sleep in the pushchair!!!

    Back tomorrow afternoon/evening sometime.. I'm leaving Toots in charge so you'll have hell to pay if you misbehave!!
