    Morning All

    My hours at work have been increased from 25 to 30 in September so more money but it means I can't pick the children up from school anymore and I shall have to make arrangements for them. Oh well 3 days to go and then I can put my feet up/ attempt to sort this house out and get some flying done! I've got a meeting tonight so I need to go out about 7.30 and I need to collect some tombola stuff first. The kids have parties at school today which they decided to inform me as I was having a bath last night so I've now got to sort something for that so I may be nipping to Mr As before work.

    Hope everyone's feeling better today.

    Have a good day all

    Hugs

    Why is it kids leave it till the last minute to say that they need extra something for school, ie food / fancy dress / clothes / money etc etc. Not having kids I seem to miss out on this:rotfl::rotfl:

    Daily type stuff done
    Off to my agency job today, as someone is not coming in for what ever reason, I have never worked there on a Wednesday before so it should be interesting to say the least to see the difference between a Wed and a Weekend!

    Have a good xx

    Morning all :D

    We've broken up for the summer :j But I'm still up early as I had a delivery for work :( DD however is getting some much needed sleep so I'm trying to keep as quiet as possible (aka doing computer based stuff :p) to allow her to sleep ;)

    Its been a long week and I find it hard to believe its only Wednesday but I have loads to do so I'll be getting on with it in my pjs today. DD has asked if she can have the day in bed watching DVDs when she wakes up. I think this is a brilliant idea as I've not managed to clean downstairs properly for nearly 3 weeks between hospital/school/DD being on the sofa or asleep in bed or a distinct lack of energy on my part :eek: It also means she doesn't have to be going up and down the stairs to the bathroom so can give her shoulders a bit of a rest. I must remember to set some alarms so that I can do physio with her as well. We've been so busy the past couple of days we've both forgotten. :o

    Plan for today is to get downstairs sorted, and maybe see if I can complete this weeks fly lists so far today. Its a good job I live in a small house :rotfl:

    Wed:[STRIKE] Delivery arriving[/STRIKE]
    Thur:
    Fri: Hospital?? (need to ring to check to see if DD does have appointment or not - can't remember what they said on Friday)

    Washing up
    Laundry
    Make beds
