    I am sorry peeps - i didnt mean to cause problems by commenting on the strikes - it was just the thought that went through my head - I should know better to keep quiet about things I dont really know anything about!

    I have been busy - I have done 200 free listings this month using 2 ebay IDs - and had some very good sales - I wish they would tell us if its free this weekend as i have stuff lined up - will prep it tomorrow anyway.

    unfortunately it means that I still havent finished my filing so thats the next thing as the bulk of my ebay stuff is done.
    Peace will be mine
    could do better - must try harder

    Evening! Work seems weird this week - I think we'd all been waiting so long for Ofsted, that we can't quite believe it's all over for a few years! Have been quite tired over the last few days (and the heat didn't help) but need to get some energy from somewhere before the weekend.

    Had GP appt on Tues and he seemed pleased with how things were going and I was brave enough to ask for the forms for CBT referral!!

    Need to update my list - kitchen halfway decent; front room needs a bit ofa tidy; bathroom not bad, bedroom a tip!! There must be some things I can cross off - I know I have done something from my one-a-day list at least!!

    I'm in the 'wrong' union so not striking!

    I'm in the 'right' one and not striking!

    Re the strikes.. tbh I am sick of hearing 'the teachers didn't want to strike they just did as the unions told them'.. well if they didn't want to do it they should have said no shouldn't they!!!

    I didn't do as my Union suggested - it's my decision not theirs. Incidentally, no staff at our school were out today.

    OK, so Squeak is mobile...and hungry...and you haven't seen the cat for a while...............


    :cool:


    Does Squeak actually have an alibi?
    :rotfl::rotfl: Made me smile!

    Good evening.
    Well, as predicted - not much flying done today :( The dog has been walked - and that is about it :o

    I seemed to spend most of the day curling DD2s hair! Then we had major eyelash stresses! She was still moaning about it when she left. But she did look lovely :D Not at all barbie, or like a doll on top of a loo roll :rotfl:She looked more like a Greecian Goddess, very classy (but I am biased ;)) I would post photos, but the lead doesn't seem to be working with my phone (since managing to retrieve it from the RoD!!)

    DS & I went to B&Q to check out insulation, flooring & boarding for the shed/summerhouse (we are trying to decide what to call it - options are 'den', 'retreat', 'studio' - open to suggestions :T) Need to measure up properly and then I can get organised (before the boys fill it up!!) Bought us a Maccy D's for tea, as it was only us.

    I have a splitting headache, so I think i will forget flying for tonight and go to bed early (DD2 staying at friends after prom, so don't need to wait up!) I think I will start afresh tomorrow. I am really pee'd off that I didn't get loads done as i had a day off :( If i sit here & look at it I will feel worse.

    Hugs & spoons to those that require them :)
    Night night all

    Thanks pigpen. I'll chuck it in when i go to bed and see what it looks like in the morning :D

    One third of one of 4 presentations done... Don't think they'll all be done tomorrow... Besides, I have massage, waxing and the dentist in the morning :o
  • Hi All loved your story Jojo especially the well I don't now hope his face dropped didn't sound like he was expecting that, if he's sturing up trouble and drink driving he's a waste of space anyways you can do so much better ;)

    Went shopping with Ds & DD this morning bought Ds new astro trainers and shorts / tees for football he's starting again on Sat he stops when its rains and goes again in the summer, can't blame him really lol . Bought gorgeous canvas painting from Wilkos half price which I then spotted in Next for £99 so bargin :p at 1/3 of that price I think.

    DD went to nursery in afternoon and DS went to go play at friends so got 2 hours of work done then worked again this evening after making everyone tea another 2 hours.
    As for flying my room is a bom but by 9pm when I was ready to do some tidying hubby was going to be he's up at 4:30 for morning shift supervising.

    Came down stairs to watch telly and decided living room was a bom so gone over Mondays list again, the only one I'd fully completed so far lol and its back to nice and clean so im going to sit down relax watch some telly and try and forget about the over rooms for now pretend they all look like this one. :D
