I am SO looking forward to being childfree this weekend I havent had any time off for 2 weeks so it will be grand. Though where he gets off on not having them for 2 weeks at a time is beyond me! .. and disgusts me.. I truly never thoght he would be one of those who couldnt be bothered unless he had nothing better to do types.. I think it is very sad.

    Morning all

    I'm up earlier than usual (most gloomy day in ages, too) so I can do a bit of work before going through to school. I hope that everyone who has teens waiting for results will have cause to celebrate later. Must get a card for NN's son.

    OH is taking DS2 for his swimming lesson while I'm at work and later DS1 can look after him until I'm back. I've promised colleagues that I'd sort out some data stuff.

    This week's listy:
    find something for tea (chippy yesterday, so I'll have to cook)
    dry washing
    wash towels
    DW
    sort out flights for DS1's trip to Dublin
    research home insurance
    set up diary/calendar
    parking fine
    mark speaking tests
    de-flea cat
    forms for OH (DVLA and permitted work)
    find something for DS2 to keep Disney cards in
    school to-do list
    data work
    stuff to work
    do budget for next month (payday tomorrow)

    Have a good day, everyone. x

    Morning Everyone,

    I hope you are all well. Although I need to catch up on the thread.

    Last night I managed dinner (well, alright, I just heated some stuff up in the microwave! lol), put a load of washing on, put the clean clothes away, emptied the bins, disinfected the bins (at last!!) and had a general tidy (binbag dance type thing). After that was a shower and I was ready for bed! lol

    Oh yes, and finally remembered to sync my ipod so I have some new songs to listen to.

    Dit my bit on the metro this morning also. Went to sit down, only to find some lazy, selfish s0d had left their rubbish all over the seats! Grrrrrr. So, I gathered them up and took them with me when I left the metro, and threw them in the bin on the platform. That's what annoys me, there are bins on EVERY platform, at EVERY station, so there was no excuse for whoever the lazy s0d is.

    I also managed to book a grocery delivery yesterday, for Sat morning delivery. Just need to go through it a bit and add and delete stuff where necessary. And I did also remember to get a nasal spray for germy mcgerm germ at home and a few essentials (milk, squash etc).

    This evening, I'm going shopping with a friend from work. Her (now ex) fella dumped her last week, out of the blue, cos 'something didn't feel right'. I'm sure there's more to it, but he's too wimpy to be honest, so we're going for some retail therapy, and I need to get 3 X Birthday Presents, and 1 X new baby present (I looked at a Dutch Football team shirt for my newest newphew, but they are €60!!!!!! Pfffff).

    I've been writing down things i need to get on a post it note lately, when I remember them, so that I can refer to that and won't forget stuff. It's working pretty well :D
