    :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:@ MG's reply - not a particularly good day at the office when you have to 'slay' a naughty one (please please remember this IS a joke)

    Up and early again today - think I must be coming down with an illness as this is highly unusual for me. Positive matrixey thoughts for about 1.30pm today for another observation by the boss - woohoo:p Then off to my headhunted meeting with another school to share my wisdom and hopefully not my blushes - spit in mouth ready :o

    Oh Dear - I have visions of hordes of Matrixettes running around being fabulous with spit in their mouths LOL

    Up and getting organised to pop into the school for my polite but firm request.

    DS1 is practising his programming so I have a few minutes to get my thoughts together.

    Glad you've contacted the Police MG - even a call from them today might make the school realise that you are not going to be fobbed off.
    DS1 - if you read this - keep your chin up - and report any incidents to the teachers so they have a note of it. If you saw this happening to someone else you'd speak up........

    Anyhow before I run off to work (again....) my Round Tuits for yesterday were

    went to recycling
    posted PPI letters (which DH had deigned to sign)
    Frog phone call about caravan
    Pulled forms of t'internet that I will need in the next few weeks
    Investigated a phone number for DH on t'internet
    And actually cooked the tea from left overs last night - quite an achievement when you realise that my cooking skills are around nil........and I didn't chuck it out when DH came in, looked at it & said (& I paraphrase here) "Don't like that".........:mad:

    So fun is over for the day & once more I'm off to the corner of an office where talking is forbidden !!!!!

    Have a good one folks

    Morning peeps - feeling a bit meh today but had some bad news this morning about someone that I knew, I didnt know her well but did spend two weekends with her when we were both away with the same meetup group. She passed away on 29 Feb of bone cancer...she was younger than me as well:(

    Think I am coming down with something as I woke up with a sore throat this morning - not raging sore just a tad uncomfortable. I have blitzed up the carrots, onions and remaining stock from my chicken stew on Tuesday night and it is now in Sloth (slow cooker) and I will serve it as a soup tonight. Am off to the health trainer later to see what he says about my weight..there are days when I still don't eat breakfast but I am getting better.

    Oh Horace - the metaphysician in me would say - you got a sore throat from swallowing your words at the college session - the realist in me says, "Poor you - its your turn with the lurgy". Take which one you fancy and make sure you get better soon.

    In the meantime - yesterday I had a random throwaway on the blog that my windows were filthy! So in the spirit of the blog post I got up and cleaned the inside - outside is a challenge as they are not on the ground floor.

    Just got home to find the outside of my windows cleaned and a note from a local window cleaner ..... he was booked to do next door, but got muddled. So his note says "Merry Christmas", my fault, no charge .................. love your garden BTW.

    How random is that - my windows got cleaned for me for FREE!!!

    So everyone focus for me "a million pounds and the acclaim of the masses for us all " LOL

    Dear Me

    Just caught the news and they are fishing in the canal at the back f where I used to live in Bethnal Green for the head of Gemma McCluskie ..................... too darn near to home to watch something like that were you used to go and feed the ducks.

    Taught myself how to make Moong Dal Chilas today - a fantastic indian pancake made with ground up Mung Beans and Chickpea Flour.

    Inspired my lunch of 3 chilas, raitha, tomato cacumber, lime pickle and a boiled egg (not eaten at breakfast) I am cooking some of my AF Red Kidney beans to make Rajma curry for dinner.

    All from the store cupboard too - brilliantly moneysaving

    MG - I have followed your lead (it was actually planned for this week) and cleaned out my hoover. It has had a hard time with all the plaster dust and sawdust, and needs to be fit and well for the next round of sawdust (the floors are coming up in the bedroom as I type). So I have taken it apart and washed it, including bits of it that probably aren't meant to be washed.

    The fire is lit, and I've done some washing and had my ironing collected, so at least it is out of the way while things are dusty!

    hmm, think I need you to move in with me for a while and do my store cupboard.

    I have had a clearout too :) a toxic so called friend from my life, I have just phoned a supplier on sale or return to collect their stuff, onwards and upwards now :)

    I took my frustrations out on the house, now its lovely and clean, so I am now off out to get toilet paper and meet my friend for a cuppa and a natter.

    When I come back I'm going to surf the net for cheap flyers to advertise and try to find tutorials on word press so I can get going :)

    I NOW MEAN BUSINESS - so watch this space lol
