  • Today I made a list of all that needs to be done, but haven't actually started it yet rolleyes.gif . Did do my dailies and paid work though :p. Tomorrow I'm only working breakfast club so should be able to crack on with the list. I have 1 week to get my entire house spotless, even in certain drawers and cupboards:eek:, incase they get opened by nosey neighbours.

    Evening ladies...

    Glad to see you have all achieved a lot more flying than I have! :o

    I did WM this morning, and that has been TD. Cooked a whole chicken in the slow cooker before I went to Uni and we have had tea! Thats honestly about it! Well, his homework has been done! But mine has not, although I have watched about 1000 online videos in preparation for classes.

    I was exhausted last night, fell asleep on the sofa about 7pm! So went to bed about 8.30...slept right through until about 4.30am when I kept waking up having the most awful nightmares!! Ive never had bad dreams for years, Who knows why!! So this morning when I got out of bed I still felt tired and drained and horrid. Since I got up, its just been one things after another all day long...but Ive realised I get no bursary in October. So no income for me next month! Should have looked at the small print more carefully...

    DS had a strop when I collected him from school cos he didnt want to walk home, but I cant afford to take my car and pay for fuel and parking in the city centre every day! I didnt need hassle from him too! CSA called and were just the icing on the cake. Useless...

    Sorry, thats all turned into a bit of a whine! Oops... I didnt mean to! But thats how my flying is getting on!! :rotfl:

    Think Im just gonna write today off, go to bed and start again tomorrow. Im off uni tomorrow so hopefully I can catch up on both housework and homework... fingers crossed.

    Take care xx

    I have.. ordered a new phone (iphone 5 that I really don't want but nothing else other than Samsung S3 fit the requirements).. *bad bad piggy* it is £9 a month less though so there is a saving there!.. forced DD3 to do her homework.. *evil wicked piggy*... DS3 forced to go to bed at a sensible time.. *nasty piggy*

    It is frostbit in here tonight.. naughty child left back door open.

    Squeak has a spreading rash as well as her evil eczema.. it looks like bites but they are appearing at different times in different places but I don't know how or where from or what else it could be.. I see a dr trip with her.. :(

    Laundry shuffled

    I am now going to make a cuppa and do my knitting and OH can watch battlestar galactica cos I love him so I'll let him! :p

    I've had to go and buy Fa*ry wa$hing liquid. DS3's eczema is in a bad way. Reading back on the thread I saw Pigpen was commenting about it. I use Neal$ Yard calendular cream on mild patches of eczema, and their Stelaria cream on more angry patches. I only give in to the HCortizone when they have both failed. We get through industrialial size quantaties of D!probase. Give it time and DS3 will become allergic to it. We have had lots of other emolients and he becomes sensitised to everything.

    Not done much flying today but did bake 2 cakes. W/M has completed 3 cycles. I've decided to isolate DS3's items and only use the Fa*ry on his clothes, sheets and towels. Dusty I really agree about the change of season being a trigger.

    I've been Mum's taxi service tonight because DH didn't sort out DS3's lifts to football training. It's just another disappointment on top of all the other crud.

    Work tomorrow and I will tackle the shared bedroom again. I got it about 75% done last week:o.

    Goodnight. See you all in the morning.

    I am savloning her, and she had metanium on it earlier.. her face is so sore.. I'll do you a pic tomorrow.. she is funny, when I put the cream on her I have to sniff her and tell her she is delicious.. she gives me a fave the lifts her arms up she is most amusing :D

    I've got DW loaded and another inch of knitting done, it is a beautiful pattern but it is quite time consuming .. I may have to start sewing my finished ones up.

    Morning all. A very early morning for me, I'm NEVER up at this time normally, but we had a panic in Jazee's Joint this morning, when DH got up for his early shift and couldn't find his false teeth!!

    The house has been pulled apart. On the plus side, I didn't get the master bedroom completed yesterday, so I can now do that in a short while. We have a bedrobe, floordrobe, chairdrobe. What a mess.

    Anyway said teeth were on the placemat on dining table, they blended in so well with the pattern (I obviously have no taste) that we both walked past them.

    Panic over, I decided to stay up as I have an earlier than usual start at the paid stuff today anyway.

    My list (optimistic as ever):

    Wash up
    Sort out master bedroom
    Vacuum LR
    Walk dogs
    Ironing
    Catch up on odd jobs left from lists this week

    Have a good day all.
    Spend less now, work less later.

    Morning lovelies! :wave:

    Jo How are you going to mamange without an income next month? :eek:

    piggers Poor Squeak, hope she gets sorted soon, it sounds horrendous x

    Well, I've been on the sick list this week :( We're ALL bad :eek: DS2 has the most horrendous cold/chest virus going on and decided in his generosity to give it to me, littley's been sent home from school being sick, I've give my lurgy to OH and DD1 has a viral infection in her mouth and throat and is looking a bit like Pete Burns at the minute due to a mouth and throat full of ulcers :eek: oh dear! and on top of all that AF shows her flamin face so I'm crippled! Pah! no income for me this week from work, so now I'm trying to money juggle AKA rob Peter to pay Paul and feed us all on absolute zero funds. What fun!

    Kinda done some dailies this week, between me and DS2 we kinda did the DW, WM,TD and I kept the snotrags at bay and OH cleared the LR coffee table each night before he went home, but no flying has been done.

    I'm in two minds wether to go to work today as I'm so desperate for the cash but I'm at the stage where I feel okish till I do something then the sickly sweats start...and I've still got the cough from hell...oh what to do. Sometimes it really sucks being self-employed :(

    So after that uplifting post from me I'll skulk off and go finish my brew :D Laters x
