  • Ok, I have had a manic week and am in from tomorrow, honestly, but thought seeing as I had time I would say hi and a little bit about me....
    I am 37 with a dh and 3 ds (18,17 and 13), I currently work part time from home, am at college part time and carer to my mum (with weekly doctor or hospital appointments) and am going to university in September to study journalism, also have a dog with a cruicate ligament injury that has weekly vet sessions to try to avoid a £4000 op and has just started weekly hydrotherapy too.
    I need to get into a routine, the house is not untidy or messy but in need of a deep clean in some rooms, I also try to get 4 sessions in at the gym a week, hope you are all well....
    Real men never follow instructions; after all they are just the manufacturer's opinion on how to put something together. :p

    Had an interview (with presentation!) yesterday, and census training today so I'm completely exhausted.

    Just managed to tidy a cupboard, can't bring myself to do anything more strenuous!
