Afternoon all!
First day off, so sprinting to catch up!
So far have done bathroom, kitchen, my bedroom and emptied the washing basket....raining in Glasgow today, so on the airer. DS decluttered to bedroom allegedly tackling physics past papers, but from the volume of singing think we are skiving! (inserts deep sigh smilie!) I feel another mommie meltdown on the not too distant horizon with this boy ! On a calmer note, he has been to see his "employability officer " at school today who told him he passed the test at college and will be lettered next week with interview date, has interview on June 3rd at another college, and has been registered with council to apply for apprenticeships.
Can't face the ironing mountain or living room today, so after a play on lappie will go and vote then think about dinner!
Hugs to all who need

Women starved themselves and men rioted and protested.. remember it was only upper class men who were allowed o vote initally!

I haven't walked the 2 minutes round the corner either

I have been ranted at by a mum from school though for half an hour because she became muslim while visiting her husbands family in Afghanistan a few months ago and has become a social pariah...she only had me left to speak to lol.. Apparently her 8 y/o was told by his best friend 'I can't play with you any more cos you are a blacky'... I told her to officially complain hrough the governing body.. it makes me so sad and so angry these little boys have been friends since they were 3 and are now not allowed to speak.. why do people want to raise their children hating others? Are we not all exactly the same?

I have done nothing today.. oh I lie.. I loaded the dishwasher this morning.. washed my hair and went for dinner with my friend. I fed Squeak chips and onion rings.. such a crap parent lol.

We have the endocrine nurse out later so Moomin can start her growth hormone injections.

feeling very virtuous - I have taken all of the keys off my keyboard, washed them individually and replaced them all. shame the caps are no longer working! Also dusted off my pilates ring dvd and did 20 minutes before 'watching' the rest.

If you want a quick laugh watch this

cuppa next and then to decide whether or not to take ds3 to get new trainers
