    Kids all fed and homeworks done, boys away to their club so 20 minutes of peace before i have to go get them again..:D

    Kitchen is looking spotless and dw has been loaded with the dinner stuff. Wm has done it's last load tonight only one load for tomorrow, just remembered i need to put Rhys's bedding back on, he was soaking this morning. Must remember thats what happens when he sleeps in.....

    SS have been and gone, i think the 'case' should be closed next week. She has said that she thinks i cope well and that the kids are always top of my list so she's happy for the case to be closed. She did want to talk to the school but i said no and explained my reasons so i think she's happy enough to speak to the GP, HV and CPN. I'm so glad that meeting is over and hopefully it will be the last...:o
    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.

    Hi Jinky x

    I have done my own list for the first 2 days as I am going away tomorrow for 9 days. I was determined to be organised with going away so close to Christmas so have got all the Christmas presents although want to get another couple of bits for DH and have wrapped everything I've got. I wrote all the cards last night and DH is posting them for me at the weekend. We had wanted to put the tree up tonight but I would rather spend the time relaxing with DH so he is going to do it while I am away :D

    I should be back on the 16th weather dependant so will join in for the last week of flying before Christmas.

    evening all, been mia but still plugging away, preparation for work easing off, busy days, making xmas cards etc etc but not so much planning!!!

    I have done loads of flying today :D so feeling good, I have put away the washing and ironing, tidied the bedroom, sorted out the 'floordrobe', stored away my summer clothes and stuff that doesn't fit, washed and sorted out in the kitchen, re-organised the undies drawer and de-cluttered some grundy undies

    phew, off to bed now :)
    Go hopefully into each new day, enjoy something from every day no matter how small, you never know when it will be your last

    Morning All

    Awake ridiculously early again today but at least I got a bit more sleep as I was in bed for 8 last night I was so tired. I really want to be sorted for this weekend ready to go away. I'm going to have my haircut straight from work tonight and then I'll be taking DS football training so I won't be home until about 6.30 then, walk the dog, get the kids sorted for bed, oh and I need to eat at some point - kids will have had tea at my mum's - then it will probably be bedtime again.

    So I've done nothing on the lists so far this week.

    Nice to see some old faces popping in.

    Have a good day all

    Hugs

    Jue
