    Actually, might swap this with Wednesday as the boys room would come under this category, and DS1 is at Pre-school all day on Wednesday so he wont be under my feet while I'm doing it...will see how I feel in the morning!

    Off to set the breadmaker and then to bed, night!
    Hx
    So, there are these boys,
    They kinda stole my heart,
    They call me Mummy


    WW 37lb (2 STONE 9lbs! :j ) lost since July, 11tybillion to go...
  • Wouldn't just be the 'friend' that was sleeping in the garden if it happened here.


    I'm quite content to have grown men sleeping in their cars or shivering on the doorstep if they can't behave themselves. If they haven't got the money to get themselves home to Mummy, well, they have a long walk ahead of them, as far as I am concerned.

    I'm done with being understanding and feeling sorry for them. Consequences of actions, innit? You p--- me off big time and you deal with the prospect of hypothermia as well as everything else. It's not my problem.



    Anyway, Minion survived, and I managed to offend someone who is trying to flog residential courses in music in Malaga. Great, sounds lovely, but the best part of a grand for a week? Oh, she says, but it's a four and a half star hotel and everything you do costs money, even if you stay at home. Not a flippin' grand a week, it doesn't! It may the bargainest bargain in bargainland's winter sale blue cross Monday Happy Hour, but it just ain't gonna happen. I did say it politely, but you could see she just didn't understand that £1000 represents more than a month's income after rent and council tax. Oh well, I'm sure it's very nice on her planet.


    And then someone asked why I don't just get a sheet music app on my iPhone. Er, because my iPhone is actually a £20 PAYG Samsung, not a £500 phone with a £45/month contract for 2 years. The surprise on their face.


    Never mind, I found 2 eggs in the fridge so managed to get something to eat and I am going to bed in a minute to console my poverty struck self with some sleep. At least that's free, if I can get it.
    I could dream to wide extremes, I could do or die: I could yawn and be withdrawn and watch the world go by.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

    I ended up with a migraine last night so I'm still feeling the aftermath this morning - hope I have a fairly easy day at work! I'm hoping to get quite a bit done tonight as I'm only popping to SW to be weighed as I'll have the kids with me so I'll be in all evening. Bin day today though so I'll be going round the house and collecting rubbish/emptying all the bins shortly.

    Dusty - hope today's a better day.

    Mumto5 - hope the work trial went well last night.

    LW - good news for you so that's more ammo for you to chase the BD away with.

    Piggers - hope you get it sorted

    Have a good day all

    Hugs

  • Good Morning All

    I actually slept last night - first time for a full night sleep since Thursday - Wow - but still feel shattered!! Collected DD from station late last night as her connection was late...

    Right - no flying this morning as still need to have shower and get dressed but have decluttered cup of tea and pain killers. I best get DD out of her bed as she has to make a start on clearing her room at the old house - I am leaving her there for the day while I go to work!

    I got suitable packed lunch ready for me so back on the plan today.

    Hope everyone has a good day
