    Personal Challenges

    [STRIKE]Monday Trick or Treat
    DH is off work recovering from Under 13's rugby tour:rotfl:
    Have roped him in to helping move fridgefreezer and other appliances so I can clean under and behind them. He can give me aa treat afterwards too:D[/STRIKE]

    Monday the clock have gone back summer is officially over
    I know it is sad that summer is gone but we don’t want to keep tripping over flip flops on the kitchen floor to remind us of that. Today gather up all summer footwear, hats and lightweight jackets. Get rid of any that won’t be needed next year. Put the rest away checking that they are clean and shoes are washed, polished and reheeled if necessary – you will thank me for this when we get our first warm day next spring. Replace with gloves, scarves, woolly hats, boots and winter coasts. Check they fit and everybody is kitted out for the cold days which will be here soon.

    Big hello to all new people and how fab is it to see so many back again.:D

    DD was due for a dress fitting but they have decided she should be ok, so it's cancelled. Kids half choking each other so i'm gonna put them to work..or fling them outside.

    Right i better get dressed and make a start on the lists.....:D:D:D
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.

  • morning all.

    rubbish day here. woke up with a sore head and DS2 screamed all the way to school coz he wanted carreid but i he is too heavy then DS1 spent most of the time trying not to cry. last week one of the boys in the other p1 class convinced him to swap their money. to be fair it doesnt take my son alot to convince, typical people please, what someone says or asks him to do he will do. he asked for him money back but the boy said he sold it as the shop. the boy is a little s*d. he was at nursery with DS and was constantly on the naughty board, making fun of other kids just the usual "bully-type" stuff. wasnt happy about DS being friends with him but them being in other classes i thought it would be ok. by DS1 reaction today i think there is defo more going on that i was being told so i had to take a sobbing DS to his teacher this morning and she is going to speak to the other p1 teacher and speak to me at the end of the day. she agrees with me though that there maybe is more to it than the swapping of the money based on how upset DS got.

    had a fight with my dad yesterday and i know i wont get an apology off him even though he knows he is in the wrong and everyone else knows it too. spent most of yesterday crying on and off and today i cant even be bothered to move and do my face despite the fact i look like hell!

    anyway im off into town ot get out the house then ill be back and getting on with the list.
