    Bonnie that would be classed as harassment in my office. Do you have a hr department? Maybe find out what the sick policy is, and keep all the text messages. Sounds like your boss needs a training course...

    Well, I have fed the tots, done the kitchen dailies and a hhi. Didn't think I'd finish the ironing but discovered the pile looked so big as there were toys underneath it :D happy days.

    Got some new thread for DS little tiger so might make a cuppa and stitch some more whiskers, lol x

    Just a quick post - I have to put on warpaint for a foray to W@itrose in a mo.

    Outdoor Flying done - Mr LW thought he was going to play Conflict Desert Storm on the PS2 after his lunch - til I informed him that we were both going outside to play with lawn rakes and a wheelie bin.:D Got loads and loads of leaves raked up; it's not perfect (no point in aiming for perfect as there's a load more to come down) but it's a lot tidier.

    Does this make me as Evil Wife?:rotfl:

    Gotta dash - hopefully back later on.;)

    Wilf - Im sorry... You asked me before about what sells on Gumtree...

    Im not sure to be honest! There are far more household goods and furniture listed on there than on Ebay in my local area - but no one has bought mine! Im going to list again now at the end of the month as people might be waiting for payday... fingers crossed

    Back and feel exhausted. Didn't buy anything, designer outlet centre so not my thing but nice surroundings.

    Just having a cuppa then need to think about dinner and I may or may not fly.

    Dusty our local outlet centre is really hit and miss so I know what you mean.

    DS1 managed to sleep through his alarm for a job interview. Words fail me. He is desperate for cash so I really can't understand him. We keep him very short so that he's hungry to earn his own dosh. He owes me for his phone bill and the next one is due in 5 days. I warned him to get up twice before I went to work. I think he may be depressed, I really am worried about him.

    CY How are your girls doing?

    It's like winter out there :eek: :D The forecast snow didn't materialise though (hurrah!) the Beeb weather dudes are full o' s***man lol although It DID hailstone for a bit brrrrrrr.

    Been to work today, it's my only full day now, but just had a quick tidy up and what not so house is all good, if I don't look at it lmao nah it's ok just needs sorting tomorrow to get it back up to the standard I'm happy with.

    Got DS2's friend staying for a few days until he gets his own flat, he's like part of the family and a lovely lad so not bothered. They've both been for an interview at a new Hotel today so possi vibes would be welcomed if there's any going.

    DIL is now 10 weeks pregnant and is in and out of the hossy at the minute cos she can't keep nowt down :( she's lost 2 stone in 2.5 weeks :eek: feel so sorry for her, anyway she's had a scan and it's not twins :rotfl: phew! :D

    DD2 and DS2 both been poorly this week, DD2 has a virus up her nose, was much laughter when we found that out, she's off her **** on pain killers and anti's :D DS2 going to the Docs tomorrow cos he's sick of being bad, he usually just puts up with stuff like I do but he's had enough.

    Erm......gosh I've written a book :o oooh oooh, DD2's Wedding Dress arrived today, it's divine and a bargaintastic deal taboot (Ebay shop) she's Soooo MSE it makes me rather proud :A

    Finances still carp but jobs being applied for, a smashing one cleaning at a school which would be just the ticket, gonna finish off the application form and email it off, will be asking for possi vibes after the closing date teee heeeee!

    May go and unload then reload the DW, then clean the kitchen.
