No flying today, I'm totally shattered. My head hurts, my brain hurts & my back hurts. Lots to take in plus ridiculously awkward pc/mouse & phone arrangement on desk which apparently cannot be altered (hence back pain). Stuffed myself full of painkillers and hot bath running. Keep telling myself think of the ££, think of the ££.

House is looking like a student doss already and prob will do until the weekend. Do I give a fig? Hmmm NO.... do I want a tall dark handsome masseur and a huge bag of dosh to appear..... YYYYEEEESSSS!!!

I can't even shove anything in the WM as the damn thing isn't working
And the DW is being silly as well

why wait for 9 months when I've been working at home until they decide they need attention/repair when I can't be there

:eek::eek::eek: I have a meeting in my LR next week with the LEA. I keep getting more requests to join. The deputy head, TA, autism team (2 people), Parent partnership lady, amongst others. It is only a small room in our small house. I have been imagining who gets which coffee mug eg Spongebob.

I think I must devote the rest of this week to downstairs and then blitz bathroom just before DDay.

Dancemum runs around waving arms in the air and making strange noises.

Would this be a good time to teach him about saving? Doing jobs and saving the money to buy a new one himself? He might take more care if it was his money that paid for it?

He does do jobs around the house and saves to buy his own computer games or extras that he wants which would normally only be bought for him otherwise on Birthdays/christmases. I suppose I could suggest that if he wants one before xmas he can replace it himself. Thanks

Today has been a disaster.

i had to go into work early - it was DS friends birthday so friends Mum treated them to Mukky Ds for breakfast as a treat _pale_ so little one didnt mind.

Anyway, after work, DS had football so I ran to the post office, punted some ebay [STRIKE]tat[/STRIKE] treasures, then had to go to HSBC for a new secure key - I cant find it anywhere so think I must have chucked it in my clearing out... oops

Since I was in town, I went quickly to M&S and got a chicken and some veggies for £5, which using up some of what Ive got will do evening meals for us for a week :money:

Picked LO from football who then told me he he didnt think he felt very well but was desperate to go to pizza hut for his little friends birthday tea - so we went, when I didnt want to... I want to spend as little cash as possible and he said himself he didnt feel well. Anyway - as soon as he wolfed down his pizza he felt sick again. And as soon as we got home he started chucking....

So armed with my basin and mop bucket at the ready, there has not been a whole lot of flying/packing/decluttering going on....plus he is such a bad patient. Youd think he was actually dying...

Anyway, he is on the sofa, holiday a basin, with his quilt. Time of a glass of well-deserved wine for Mummy.... even if it is a school night

:cool:
