Wow! I want to join your book club Lara, home made pizza, champagne and puddings! Sounds likea perfect night to me

Me too!

As predicted the youngest is home full of cold with a temp. As his dad isn't working i thought it'd be reasonable to ask him to have him for a little while. I left a message earlier.....funny enough I'm still waiting for call back.

MG - how fantastic for your son! Hopefully that will give him a much needed confidence boost.

Good luck this morning, Marru. It must make it harder to deal with work when you have so much to deal with in your personal life too. Hang on in there.

Clootie - that is a list and a half! It's so satisfying to tick those jobs off though, isn't it? I've maintained my bid to declutter everyday. Yesterday saw some serious paper sorting. The 2 baskets of clothes in my room are slow progress. There's no way I'm going to get through it all. I've decided to get some more hangers and hang the lot up rather than wait til it's all ironed. Then I'll be able to see exactly what's there, cause at the moment it's hard to tell

The decluttering continues here also. Have now moved into the spare room/dumping ground. Am beginning to scare myself that I go into a room armed with bin bags.:eek:
Have so far mangaged to clear 1 cupboard and half a chest of drawers. 8 photo frames, my neices evening dresses(they can go across the road to her own room)loads of empty CD boxes and found the missing pillows:jroom now looks like a bomb has hit it. Coffee and then sort out my crafting stuff.

Ah see robsmum - you had me till the crafting stuff. You and I both know that it is a universal truth that crafting stuff is NEVER sorted.

Wonder how Marru is getting on - keeping calm I hope.

Filing done - and MOT is due end of April not beginning so YaY!!! cos if I have to scrap the car that is at least 4 more weeks of school runs taken care of.

Now that is so true! I decluttered 2 long shelves below my crafting ones yesterday. I didn't actually have the courage to attack them, as i know they need a whole lot of concentration and energy to do so

Good news re the car. Squeeze every last drop out of it!

Yay!!!!!

Oh, I particularly enjoy tidying up my crafty stuff. I untangled all my bits of thread and wrapped up balls of wool all day on Saturday. All neatly stashed in appropriately sized storage boxes and popped in the cupboard of doom

Sad eh

It's the other tidying up I hate!

Well done MG's DS1

Getting increasingly frustrated with medics... surgery asked me to call back if my voice wasn't back by tomorrow. Well clearly it won't be, so thought I'd make an appointment. Can't have one. Or on Thursday. They offered the duty doctor, but its the one I really don't like, so said no. Contacted my brother who said there is nothing I can do, just rest my voice for two weeks. What does he think I've been doing for the last three? And why is everyone so reluctant to look at it? Or realise that my poor boss at least needs some communication about progress, not just endless notes saying 'another couple of weeks'.

I have a work trip coming up in just under two weeks, and have no idea whether to cancel now or wait till the last minute and hope. I am completely fed up and worried that work will say that I can't keep on doing my job if I can't talk so need to go on sick leave... I can't pay my mortgage on SSP...

Well Done to MG's DS1:j

Hugs to Marru and to others that need one.

I am not surprised about the lack of knowledge about the UK - everything is dumbed down these days. Talking of dumbing down I very nearly lost my temper in class today as I have discovered that although I have been writing letters for years and years it would seem that I haven't been laying them out properly and therefore it was no wonder that I wasnt getting any interviews. I took one look at the examples of letters I had been given as to being the correct way of writing and then pulled them apart on layout, grammar etc. Please don't treat me as being thick - I have typed more letters than you have had hot dinners:mad: One good thing was my CV - it has been amended and it looks better (I had too much of some stuff and not enough of something else). I now have to type a covering letter and take it in to college tomorrow to prove that I can write a letter.

I do not like the tutor at all - the college are aware that all my handouts need to be printed on yellow paper but this tutor is adamant that my papers have to be on white paper - when I questioned it today, she huffed and puffed and made it sound like such an inconvenience that I just accepted the documents as they were. (Documents are easier for me to read if they are printed on yellow paper because my glaucoma makes the text bleed into the paper otherwise).

Can we remember the Primary 1 children that were massacred by a gunman at Dunblane Primary School. 16 years ago today. R.I.P. precious angels.

Horace - if you need them on yellow, you need them on yellow. GET THEM ON YELLOW - or complain about the tutor - she is stamping all over so many disability issues I wouldn't know where to begin.

Erm -cooeeee! Marru, you all right love? Do we need to do tea, hob nobs, chocolate, wine? Or is it a case of "so many men, not enough patios?" Hoping against hope that you had a result today - but if not we are here.

DS2 has just asked for "risotto bianco please" when I asked him what he wanted for dinner ..................... seriously, should he not be asking for chickennuggetsnchips MUM!!!!

Oh - and DS1 (the one who the teacher said has a spelling issue) - got 10/10 AGAIN (for the fifth time). Wooohooo!!
