Morning All

Well I did nothing last night when I got in from Beavers as I was shattered. SW tonight and I'm expecting to have put on. The dreaded O are arriving at school Wed and Thurs. I'm still tired and want to go back to bed.

Better get dressed and make a start.

Have a good day all

Hugs

Mawnin!

Thanks for all the advice yesterday about going back to work. I'll definitely look into the childcare vouchers, because we get so little help otherwise. It would need to be from DH's wages and he works for a huge company, so i can't see them not offering that (hopefully).

I am also going to ask about working when DH isn't working, like evenings or weekends. From what i can tell there is much of the work that could be done on an evening or at least a Saturday.

DDs free nursery hours start in April i think. She turns 3 on 2nd January, so JUST misses out on the January 2012 term. That should make a big difference to what we can afford, but unfortunately it's too far away to help for now. If my boss is a stickler for the hours he wants me to do, i may just have to suck it up and do the hours he wants me to do for zero pay knowing that come April time we will be in a better position.

Worst comes to the worst at least we will get £70 in tax credits for me staying at home and not working. I'd much rather work, but at least we do have that option.

Got to take DD to the doctors today, she has a dodgy rash on her bits. Seems happy enough in herself though.

Have a great day everyone!

Morning fellow flyladies

I am tryng to organize my daily routines, I have 2 big, high energy dogs who need long walks every day (about 2 hours).

I started a bookkeeping course 2 years ago, but my workload and hours increased about 18 months ago and I put the course on hold as I did not have the time or energy to do it.:(
Now 6 months ago I quit my job:) as working so many hours was not part of my life plan. I now work from home as administrator for DHs company. I thought I would pick up my studies again then BUT I had lost all momentum and just could not get started again.
now my course date is due to finish next month, there is no way I can get finished in that time so Yesterday I phoned and got a 6 month extension.

So now I HAVE to get on with it.
Most of the time I feel really tired (I have an underactive thyroid and a snoring DH) making it difficult to get my backside in gear.
How do you guys fit everything in? Housework, gardening, dog walking, work, study, etc.

AARRRRGGGGGHHHHHh :eek:

Monday disappeared faster than I had hoped and the only housework I've done is washed up twice and put shopping away! :eek:

Tell me about it, I didn't even get everything done on my daily routine list and was cooking dinner at 10.30pm last night :eek:

I'm just sorting what needs doing and am going to keep my untouched monday list to shame myself into getting into gear!

Just popping in to say thanks for all the posi-vibes yesterday. We didn't have tears - and she'd written more than she'd ever written before for that type of question!

So - Fingers crossed!

She has the rest of the week off - so she will officially be chiiling!

Off to wake her brother and strip our bed...

Unorganized

Ok, here we go! I MUST get on this morning, I have someone round at 10am who I don't know well enough to be a total disaster area! I'm just waiting for Little Miss to finish her breakfast, as if I get up and start moving around before she's finished she'll abandon it...
