fedupandskint

Well I'm back after a rather frantic 2 month period of uni juggling alongside work. Anyway its time for a study break for a month or 2 before I need to do some more and then am back in Oct for the final year.

SO I managed to get the sofa thick throw washed and dried today and half the bedding all hung out before work.

Cleaned the bathroom on the revision day, washed the bathmats and shower curtain and swept and mopped the kitchen and bathroom floors so what is left? Let me have a look for a list

Hi Chunky I'm fine - knackered but fine.

Hope your 'thinning' out' goes ok. S'rather quiet here tonight!

We lost Money Saving Diva earlier this year - she passed on 29 January after an OP was unsuccesful.
Sexymouse you'll remember - she's now Mrs Sexymouse.

(I remember MSDs 'date' because it's DD birthday - and it's the ONLY date like that I do remember - for the members of my family I can give a rough time of year if that - even my 'real' dad's date is lost in the mists of time - it was June/July around the time I got my job that I have now. Although I do know my Great Aunt (who I helped care for) died on the Friday of the week I started the temp job I had before this one, in April...and I was with her when she went.)

Aww bless ya hunny. Have you got alot on too? x

I am really sad to here about Money Saving Diva R.I.P

And SM becoming a Mrs SM, how cool. :T

As for thinning out this is what I have on and what I need to sort out!

I was secretary of cheer leading club my dd attends, I am now on management committee so that is done with I just say yay or nay now much easier!

I am for now Governor on 3 schools soon to be 2. This workload as eased slightly as 1 school is a new one so lots of interviews and short-listing. as been done. Its been a great experience though and has done me well in building my confidence back up, staying at home with kids for years I had none!

I am also secretary of Primary PTA and basically the chair without the title as the chair is pants and never attends!!! this I think I am stepping away from altogether as ATM I feel we should be renamed "school skivvy group"
As well as 2 part time jobs, 4 kids and a poorly dad! hey ho!

wow that's therapy isn't it. The power of seeing it wrote down is making this much easier!

Found the secret to getting stuff done! Having an empty house. Its great, I can potter about without being distracted.

So so far I've

cleaned the toilet
put a wash on
binned some mags
put black bag in bin, filled it
gathered the washing up and bought downstairs
watered and put chickens to bed
fed cat
wrote myself a list of things to complete including taxing car.
burnt some paper in fire
decluttered my sofa
tidied up some shoes
found some recipe books to mooch over



I've got the week off so I'm really, really happy.:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

Jojo_the_Tightfisted

Busy sewing the hems on the soon to be cushion by hand, as the machine is apparently up in the loft from when we moved in . Found the iron at the back of the kitchen cupboard (after 35 [cough] minutes )

After I've done this, I think I'm off to my pit because I am yawning loads.


Night all!

[stops to ask the ginger ninja what exactly it is that she wants, as her marching up and squeaking at me is baffling and annoying. Realises once in kitchen that leaving the cat milk out is a bad idea when this one can apparently read. Gives her milk and peace is restored. For 5 seconds until stoopid wanders in and realises the other one has milk. I am shouted at again. More milk. Peace is restored]
