I am abosolutely shattered!!

Did another 3 loads of washing today, and the machine is still going.

Had to go visit mother in law for her birthday today. (BORING!!) I spent the whole afternoon thinking about everything I could have done in my house!

My mind has turned to mush from listening to grandmayap all afternoon.

But well... loads of washing done.. and folded. Only 3 items to iron now..

but enough is enough. I'm beat.

denise - thanks yes it was fun, though most people were on coke (to drink hehe) for some reason, so my mate and i felt like the naughty ones!! :beer: i will be pleased when smoking is not allowed in pubs here too, i always feel extra rough after breathing it in all night!!

in Bournemouth the kids are in school next week, break up for half term at the end of the week.

i haven't been at home today, at OHs now, am pretty shattered after night out, fell asleep earlier should get a good sleep tonight though, and can lay in tomorrow morning

I'm in Scotland. Kids broke up on Thursday but back on Wednesday. I tend to take hols when they are off. You know I am lazier when I am not at work tbh. When working I know I need to be organised and tend to try and be that way BUT when off I have time to do things when they need done so nowt gets done lol

I live in Scotland (east coast) and my kids are off on Thursday 15th for inservice and Friday and Monday for half term, so only a few days for us

Mine are all off this week too.. I forgot! lol

So they get to spend all week in the dirt DH has created this weekend.

I've just bathed 4 of them.. the dirtiest 4.. I'll do the other 2 tomorrow.. and the oldest 2 can do themselves! .. Is there just me that has to physically wash an 11 year old?? *sigh*

I did my piece of pig in the slowcooker.. TNG you get a reprieve.. it was fabulous.. thank you chucky.. I know where to come next time I need culinary advice! I even have enough left to freeze or eat tomorrow in sarnies.

My mother is almost convinced to buy a slowcooker now!! She asked if they are all as big as mine! lol.. I did say no you can get normal sized ones too. She was quite impressed with my flesh cooking in it she thought they were just for casseroles and suchlike.

We have the frame to mail the plasterboard to and the door frame in situ now.. DH is hoping to get some plasterboard on tomorrow and the carpet cut back into place too.

So, the saga about what colour to plaint the walls ensues!! DS3 wants it yellow like it already is.. even after he went hysteriacl that we painted it yellow in the first place.. his hatred of change excels his hatred of yellow obviously!

here in Fife our kids have had their half term last week and go back on Monday:j

Not much flying done today as we haven't been in which means that not much has been messed up;)

Uniforms ironed and ready for tomorrow, freezer full with food for next two weeks and all tidied and ready for tomorrow, going to watch 24 and then have an early night, see all tomorrow.

Im in Cornwall, and my two are at school next week, half term the week begining 19th Feb. Mind you, the 2 girls i have in the holidays from Plymouth, are here next week, as over the bridge half term is this week!!! Strange that everyone has different weeks, you would think they would have them at the same time!!!
Anyway, had a busy day today, but not much flying - did clean upstairs (including the bathroom floor), ive made tomorrows packed lunches, and im just waiting for the WM to finish its second load, so i can hang that up - but thats all.
Actually, reading that back, i feel like ive done quite a lot, so thats good!!!!
Right, WM sounds like its finished, will hang that up, then im going to watch that new thing on BBC2, the verdict (or the BAFTAS, will see what i fancy!!!)
Night xxxxxxxxxx
