    Squeak just asked for "yeah-yos".. OH asked what she meant.. erm.. teletubbies lol... He was not impressed but I was amused

    I look after a 2 year old who likes to watch 'hey hey!' every morning after the school run while I have my breakfast (the Tweenies :rotfl:) I love the way their language develops :)

    I have been working for 10 hours today, so not much flying done :o
    I have cooked dinner (twice!), and cleaned up after (the first one, anyway :o), baked brownies, washed up, swept up debris from under 2 year old's chair & wiped the table. The toys have all been put away & the house is back to normal for the evening :D

    I also emptied all the bins this morning, put out recycling & food bin, washed the food bin & cleaned out the cat litter tray. DH has cleaned out the rabbit, taken the dog for a run & done ALL the ironing :T

    Tonight I need to do some more study, and book myself onto a conference in Northampton in Feb. I will also need to book a hotel room for myself, as I don't think I can drive there in time for a 9.30 start, sit through the conference & drive back again without falling asleep at some point :eek: I will probably just book the hotel where the conference is, as that would be easiest :)

    DH delivered my chaser letter to my non-paying parent yesterday. Still not a word from her :mad::mad: I could take her to court, but it is a lot of hassle :( Why do people think they can ask me to look after their child, and not have to pay me!! They wouldn't expect tescos to wait over a month for their money, so why should I? It is a business, not a charity!! :mad::mad: (sorry, rant over :o)

    Ok - where's my books...? :)
  • Not much flying at all today. Wednesday is officially migraine day, fourth week in a row I've had a migraine by the end of Wednesday.

    Evening all

    Busy day so not much flying. I have

    Ordered DS3 birthday present
    Seen on my EON bill that our DD is going down £46 in March - very happy
    DS2 has been invited for interview at one of the 6th forms he wants to go to, the most competitive one so he is very happy.

    Off to do the list for tomorrow and tidy up the kitchen from dinner.

    Not meaning to sound rude but could it be time to tell MIL it's time for her to go home?

    Haven't had time to do anything at home today :o
    I had the normal running round for my Dad to do.
    My friend and I have been to the council offices and sorted out my council tax arrears :)
    And we have also sorted out paying off another debt :)
    And DD1 and went shopping to Mr T's this evening, I hate food shopping but DD1 was a great help and we got round without me panicing :T

    Earlyish night for me tonight, hopefully it will be a better night sleep
  • She's flying back on Saturday Wendy :D. And when she comes up at Easter it won't be to bad as I will be up at my mums or my mum will be here and mIL won't be staying with me.

    I did all the bedrooms today and dusted and vacuumed through downstairs too. Still getting rid of things around the house where I can. It feels so nice when somewhere looks clearer.
