    Aaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

    Teenage mega meltdown the sequel.

    DS3 caught out lying to me, then lied some more.

    Cat stole some raw meat again.

    DH out of the country.

    Worst of all no wine or beer in the house - to the kettle it is.
    Gin? :cool:

    It's ok, you can tell DS3 and the cat that they drove you to it...

    Decided to order some hoover bags instead, at least I've done one thing off my list.

    Morning all!

    Lovely quiet house - the citronella collar arrived for ASBOdog - it works a treat! He seems calmer too - he really has a loud piercing bark which was getting worse! Typical stroppy 'teenager', he used to bark if he didn't get his own way or if he was trying to get you to back down over something - he's now a lot more attentive, as if it's focused his attention? We will see how it goes!

    Got lots of ironing done last night and cleared out a kitchen cupboard - unintentionally! I was looking for some pudding rice (none found!) but came across a few packets that had seen better days - so a double wall cupboard is now considerably clearer. Nothing to be proud of really, I should have kept an eye on things.....oh well!

    School business didn't get finished last night so it's back for another session next week - no rest for the wicked eh!

    Hope everyone escapes the rain today - apparently weather will be 'unsettled' for the rest of the month - wonderful!
    :j Almost 2 stones gone! :j
    :heart2: RIP Clio 1.9.93 - 7.4.10 :heart2:
    :p I WILL be tidy, I WILL be tidy! :p

    Morning All

    Well so far I've had a bath and that's it - I need to get the kids up next and get ready. Beavers tonight and I still feel like I've got stuff to do and my printer ran out of ink last night so I need to get some more today.

    Mumto5 - Good luck today - you'll be fab!

    Have a good day all

    Hugs

    Thanks for the good luck wishes. Interview is at 10.

    Hope you have a fabulous holiday Bossymoo

    I slept really badly - I guess it's nerves. I've now got a horrible decision to make WHAT DO I WEAR?

    Not much flying done yesterday with my manically busy day. I did see my very pregnant sister in town with DS1 and we grabbed a coffee together. She was brilliant with him and has certainly given him some food for thought.

    I sorted out all my shoes yesterday. I keep them in their boxes where possible. It takes up alot of space. I need to get rid of some. Fashions change and they haven't been worn for years:o

    :o:oMy name is Mumto5 and I am a shoe addict. :o:o
