    Good evening everyone.

    DH is away in Manchester of all places! DD2 has thrown a temperature and is in our bed. She got hit in the face today by a PC at the end of school today and has gone downhill fast. this is going to cause me problems as I don't have a scrap of food in the house and nobody is around to look after her while I nip to Mr T.

    I worked this morning then came home and tackled the kitchen, DH had made sausages and bubble and squeak and the grill pan was festering nicely in the oven. I've broken open a new scourer and it's now gleaming. I'll be home all day tomorrow so will tackle both lists.

    After school I had to go and sign the paperwork for my new car and went for my first physio appt for my bad leg - more exercises! There isn't enough hours in the day.

    I also listed 19 items on a Easy Beans Auction Yeah site:j

    I hate that more than the shower tray cleaning and just as much as you do :p Be blessed you don't have to pack for 4 (DH does his own and is a top packer)
    Does he have any tips? I think my problem is that I want to take less than I need to... once I've accepted that I'm pretty good (lots of tissue paper and shoe bags). If I didn't have to take shoes and have a need to wear something other than my suit when not working, it wouldn't be a problem...
    Governors meeting was really really long and will now require a lot of research work. Just having a well earned glass of Isla negra and some corn chips.
    Mine was short :) got the whole thing done and dusted in under an hour, but then no one knows what's going on with next year's budgets, so there wasn't much point in extending the meeting (finance committee)

    Based on a discussion at a meeting in January - the answer is no. We advertise in the parish magazine, but most of the reminders from county appear to go through nurserys & pre-schools. Having said that, I think that now its online there are a lot fewer of those, because they don't need to distribute forms.

    I've had a bath, CBA to do any work... just need to check up on the DW, then log off, pack the laptop and hope I haven't forgotten anything vital!

    Morning

    mummyof5
    not sure if you saw my response (post 240) you need to get an application in for your LO. The deadline passed in January but there is a link in my post to the online applcation form.

    It's my sister and SIL's birthday today so I need to nip and drop a card and present for them both at some point. Hoping Dad can help me with Miss A's new blind as well. Some dot 2 dotting to be done too.

  • MiL coming round just after nine this morning - Oh joy! So I need to get a wriggle on :eek:
    Tea dishes still out and dogs trashed the lounge.
    Luckily I seem to be okay this morning??
    Embb - Thats what I thought too, but really unlikely... although it would be nice :)
