Pippilongstocking

Hay there it's results day today, woken to an early call.

Dd got exactly what standard grades she wanted all '1''s all 8 of them - clever stripey girl

ds got a 'B', and a couple lower results for his advanced highers both 'D''s which he's appealing as he got 86% in his prelim for one of them.......so we're talking to the school for an appeal.....he's a bit upset but hopefully we will get it sorted for him...


Well done chaps and good wishes to all with results today.....x

Morning chores again.....

Banks checked
Hens fed
Dogs walked
Cc's checked - until paid I can't make any payments so need watch these keenly.....
Must sort eggs for a chum
Sort another load for dump
Do a bit sewing for work as weve three big events on this week
Check emails and sort an amazon package
Hm brekkie, (bran flakes, currently eating out the cupboards)
Lunch sorted for later and a hm tea to scoff.
Might go into town combine dump with cutting grass (paid) and a couple other chores.
Raid polytunnel for illicit veggies :-) and I must not look at reduced bread but after veg raid might see what I can find for home fruit/veg as we've not much in
Need sugar for elderflower cordial making, must do that and need more stripey washing powder but do have vouchers for a local shop, but its more pricey, so might hang on to them......

That's me today a day off but lots to do :-)

Turns out there's something wrong with one of his marks so alls week, he's chuffed now.

Must do some updates!

Hope you're on the mend lt :-)

Have a great Sunday everyone....

Lemon_Tree

how can they just pass over the grief with 'something's wrong with one of the marks' it's shocking! but i'm glad they're sorting stuff out
I've had a good Sunday - spent it sat out in the garden reading not one but two books! shocking isn't it!

Pippi, have you ever come across one of these? Its about 2 inches long (not including the stinger) and makes a buss/hum sound when flying (high pitched and loud!). Seen these abroad but this is the first one I've seen in Scotland.

Sorry uni can't help! Never seen one before....looks nasty.

Lemon_Tree

definitely looks like you wouldn't want to meet it in a well light street Uni let alone a dark alley.

Morning all, I'm still in bed (how lazy) up soon as poor haggis will have crossed paws. Peedie is still snoring on my bed, haggis is in prison (his lovely dog cage, which he loves) downstairs so we get some us time.

Today, list on the small things bit done, largely packing, decluttering and paperwork.
kids back a week today seven weeks have flown by! I hate it when they go but it only seems fair they see their dad and family.

Thinking of a new diary for focus with a move/smaller house and life changes that all that will bring, need to keep Focussed as the groceries among other things are creeping up again. Might scare myself later and go through the statements and see how much I actually spend compared with the £200 budgeted.

After that I may need another lie down.

Right puppies to walk then a cuppa then machine back on, more cleaning/packing.

It's blowing a hooley out there so best wrap up, how I've missed sideways rain......

Have a great day, whatever you're upto,
