well I slept till nearly 2! I've tackled some frogs from my sickbed - a couple of phonecalls and emails done, have also finished a bit of my assignment for the BFC course and emailed it to my tutor, I've also meal planned and shopping listed for next week:j Seeing as I should be off tomorrow as well due to the 48 hrs rule and should be feeling a lot better I'm going to do lots of work on some competency stuff for work, my PDR and proposals for an audit and practice research that I want to do. I won't feel so bad at being off then.
I'm going to drag my carcass downstairs now and try to peel some spuds and get some tea on for the arrival of the squids and DH. Thanks for the virtual lucozade! I have been making do with apple juice and water0 -

Going to KFC turned into a nightmare. It took 15 minutes for them to take our order despite there being only one person in front of us, then another 10 mins to put some chicken & chips in a bucket. :cool:Then they gave us 4 less pieces of chicken than we paid for. Of course we only figured this out once we'd almost eaten it all. So i had to go and complain, the woman looked at me like i was mad but gave us more chicken. Ds2 was so naughty on the way home, wouldn't leave his brother alone and laughed at me when i told him to stop so he's gone to bed with no story. He's feeling bad now and has drawn me a picture with lots of xx's, he said to make me smile again.
I still need to get the washing in and put the rabbits to bed. I'll wait for Ds2 to stop coming up and down the stairs first and then i'll do it.0 -
Hello ladies,
What a week I've had. The place is a tip. I've not done any washing all week, or ironing, and there is a mountain of tupperware in the sink.
Still - 'tis the weekend.
I have been incredibly busy at work (unusual for me) and been out every evening, and DH has been home sick 2 days with man flu (roll eyes)
I am going to do a HHC now, then the rest will keep until tomorrow.
Congrats to Piggers, Mumto5 and well done Sammiell.
I have been dealing with a bullying case at work this week. I am SO glad that somebody has actually had the b@lls to say, I'm not putting up with this type of behaviour. I have been investigating and taking witness statements, and I hope that good will out.
Anyway - off to do my HHC. I won't ask for any joiners, cos you've all worked very hard today
I will be around tomorrow bright and early :jYesterday is history
Tomorrow is a mystery
Today is a gift
That's why we call it 'The Present'0
