    My house!

    Been out for meal with colleagues tonight and cried through half of it so wish I hadn't gone. I had some nice flowers, a handbag and a key ring.

    Triker - hope everything goes well tomorrow

    Good evening :D

    Just caught up the thread. Hugs, sticks and spoon and oodles of posi vibes to those that need them, especially, LW, Toots, Greenbee & Triker (and little Triker)

    As predicted, not much flying done here. 3 loads of washing done, 1 dry & folded, 1 still on the line :o and 1 still in the machine. Food shop done after kids went home. DS walked the dog (I nearly said 'for me' - but it is the 'family' dog!!)

    I took Little Miss Sunshine & Devil Child to the local Sea Life Centre. The Devil Child moaned all day :mad: It really gets me down :( He is 6 (but the size of a 7-8 yo) and shouts and moans incessently. I make allowances for him, as I don't think he can help his behaviour - but it doesn't make it any easier. I had to move him away from DS on the beach, and he 'threw' himself on the sand, as if I had pushed him :eek: And then said I had thrown him!! :eek: (he is far too heavy for me to be able to do that!). He does this sort of thing a lot, and I tell his Mum. I think I may have to start noting it down, to protect myself :( I wonder why I bother! When we got home, Little Miss Sunshine told me she had a 'lovely day'. :T She is not 3 yet, but still managed to show me that trips out are appreciated. Makes it all worth it :)

    i am going to bed now, in the hope that I can start to catch up tomorrow. I have Devil Child all day again tomorrow :(
    Goodnight all :wave:

    You know that massage chair at the salon today?

    Well, I have revised my opinion of it. It is an evil instrument of torture.

    My back feels as though the splats have marched up it wearing hobnailed boots (and yes, they do have a habit of stomping up me when I am sleeping, instead of the delicate little tippy-toes that creep their way onto my lap unnoticed). I am sure the bruised feeling will ease off overnight, just like the time I had a shiatsu massage and felt like I was being murdered (until the following morning when I floated out of bed). But after this evening, I decided to throw caution to the wind and go home by cab rather than by bus, thus avoiding both having to carry the bass and be polite to strange people on the bus. Nice cab driver waited outside until I had opened the front door, turned on the light and waved before he drove off.

    This morning, I must do some flying, as I walked into slightly too much clutter for my liking. But not now, as I am off to my pit for a nice long snooze

    [shuts bedroom window and switches tower fan on, as stoopid splat has the hump and will start mincing around on the windowsill, trying to get out/fall off/fly like Dumbo if I leave it open for the noise of the foxes/bigger cats/people/birds/fairies/whatever to distract him]


    (PS, If anyone likes reading about the Management, I am glad - it's a nice feeling to think that it might cheer you up :grinheart)
    I could dream to wide extremes, I could do or die: I could yawn and be withdrawn and watch the world go by.

    Morning all

    Can't believe I'm the first one to post. Time to get DS2 up and take him to breakfast club. Then I'll stop at the market on the way to work for some fruit and veg. A colleague is going to join me today, so I'd best find the papers she'll want to talk to me about... They must be somewhere on me desk. :o More flinging and a bit of filing. :T

    Have a good day, everyone. x

    Thanks Greenbee - scary stalker :p

    He is working from home today so I shall mention iron. I think it is iron that blacksmiths use. He has made me an Allium from old rusy nails which needs fixing on a longer stick so that will do.

    Ironing *la,la, la,la I cant see you*

    Need to get the washing pegged out before I go, or shall I test the new regime and ask DH to do it.......
