    Jellycat that's brilliant news :)

    It was a good job I had been flying all morning as I got a migraine this afternoon and had to go to sleep. Still feeling very fuzzy headed and I am trying to cook tea. I am attempting to make 5 very very small chicken pieces serve 4 people :D

    Well I have done the kitchen from top to bottom and has completely knackered me out and I was only working hard for about an hour!!! Dirty, stinky, manky bin currently in the shower soaking and I will no doubt have to scrub clean when it's done.

    Need to meal plan and maybe pop to the supermarket later, but we'll see...

    Ever wonder about those people who spend £2 apiece on those little bottles of Evian water? Try spelling Evian backward.

    Well, have just got back from our reccy. The car ferry was quite stressful - I've never done it before - its hard enough for me to drive onto the weighbridge at the tip :eek:. Anyway, got there in the end, so that we know where it is tomorrow. Drove around Torpoint - its so pretty! So we've said we'll go there when its a bit warmer.

    Tonight, I'm going to whip out my electronics notes and do a bit of cramming ready for my test tomorrow. :) God knows what for dinner.

    Evening all, was going to post while on computer course, but the naffing internet was down, so here I am, hope everyone has had a good day :) Fighting a loosing battle keeping the floors clean as the weather is just awful and dogs in and out! So will have to do them all (kitchen, living room and halls) before bed again!

    Well it's been the usual busy Wednesday, housework then dash out because I am late for computers, the tryng to finish what I started before I went out. In a better mood, had a long talk with DP yesterday, both of us got a few things off our chest.

    Oh my breadmaker arrived, not had chance to unpack it yet, might have to wait until tomorrow.
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    Not read all the thread - just a quick skim so far.

    So good to hear from you rcchdap1. Been thinking about you and Lily.

    I promise to go back and read properly later - kids and dh arrival imminent so I'll respond while I can.

    Been at work all day. Got my annual ratings letter today - no change from last year so that's good. One day they're gonna find out just how rubbish I am:rotfl: .

    DS wants to learn how to ski!! He's 4. I think someone at school must've been skiing in the holidays. It's something I've always wanted to do. But I'm trying and trying to sort the money out at the mo - and I hadn't exactly budgeted for skiing lessons/holidays. He might just have to wait.

    Speaking of budgeting - I've just realised DH gets paid this week instead of next. I thought that the extra money in the account was just because of this but when I update "THE SPREADSHEET" (to be said with da da da background music) we do have more money than I had thought we would (not a lot mind) Woo hoo. It's a first. Looks like budgeting and being a meanie is finally kicking in. Thank you all guys.:T

    Need to go and sort out christmas thank you cards. Should have done them last week I know. (if not before) Cheated a bit as I got DS to write and draw something and then scanned it in and I'll send it to everyone. Saves me having to do it all - one day kids will be old enough to do this themselves. (Yeah, like when DH is old enough to write his own christmas cards!):rotfl:

    Evening All

    Well done jellycat, 4hrs is a start. You might feel different, just having that little bit of independance. I sypmathise with you through your difficult time, and hope that your hubby doesn't upset you too much. Let us how how the chat went!

    Just in the process of doing a chicken curry for tea.

    Roll on bed time Im shattered, just hope that light doesn't appear again thru the night!

    Be back later xxx

    taplady you might not see this but I hope you do. Ask your son if he drinks coffee and/or cola during the day. Suggest he cuts all of it out. It could well be the caffeine keeping him awake

    Nytol causes drowsiness the next morning. If your son needs to be alert then don`t give it until friday night
