went back into the study and fired up the desktop to reconcile my finances, a whole months worth of receipts entered, phone calls made and cancelled automatic renewals on house insurance and breakdown cover - this will force me to shop around for better deals in the next few days :eek:
paid some of credit card bill, need to check if I have an empty card to tart what I can't pay as I don't want to apply for another card and be turned down and spoil credit rating so I will have a look at that next week when DS back at nursery
as he was determined to climb up onto the desk and wrestle me for the mouse......not happy bunny

I did attempt the frog that is the venetian blind in the ensuite today, but after getting the film of loo roll lint off the first 3 blind slats, I could see that condensation has made the metal slats start to rust/corrode so in fact they look worse now I have started to take the lint off.......so I may have to lobb it and put something else up instead, so put that on the frog list.

Started window Eb@y shopping for a pair of indestructible shoes for DD3 as the shoes I bought for September have no soles and have split along the sides :mad: but I need to make sure they don't fall foul of school uniform rules

DD2 is off out , and will be back Sunday when her Dad comes to visit, so I may have a set to on her pond worth of frogs in her room tomorrow:p

right time to quit now, night night flyladies and gents

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...

Thank you :A Sick policy is I should inform my LM asap with details, which I did. I kept her informed today, twice, by text as I have no voice lol and we have no company email. I had no reply I did have text from young volunteer not happy I wasn't in work or been in touch with her to explain myself!! !!!!!!... Really upset I do loads of unpaid work for this charity incl mopping up sewage on a BH...

...Tomorrow is another day

mumto5 big hugs xx As you prob know depression is essentially an inability to function... so if your DS is suffering I wish you strength xx do pls pm me if you need xx

jo what a crock of sh*t ... keep the faith... and as embb so rightly says, karma is always your friend xx

I have cleaned both loos and done washing, drying & DW, plus general tidying

Sleep well xx

so you were burning the midnight oil too Pigpen?

I couldn't sleep at about 11.30, so made a cup of tea and just intended to pick up DS toys from living room, but before I knew I had cracked out the hoover....and have been flying all over til just now! Housework in the middle of the night only happens when I am in the early stages of labour - I have another 13 weeks to go so this had best not be history repeating itself!

Funny how much more gets done when I don't have DS's help!

Right this time, I am definitely going to bed and sleeping...catch up with you all in a few hours

bossymoo

Urgh why am I awake?

"keeping your legs crossed" vibes for skint breeder, hope baby stays put for some time yet x

Well I woke at 4, it's freezing. Been to tuck the kiddies in. They feel warm even if the rooms are cool. And now I can't get back off to sleep. For some reason I keep thinking we've missed the nursery photographer. Doesn't even matter, they are so expensive! And, I have a camera, don't I?

Will try again.

Morning all

skint breeder - fingers crossed baby stays where it should for another 13 weeks
bossymoo - school photo proofs came home with my kiddies yesterday, 1st time in about 3 years that they have turned out ok, I'll buy 1 and then copy that for pressies :]]

Plans today are -
drop kids at their Dad's
go to Lidl and buy Chicken Kievs for 64p
go to Toys R Us and redeem the voucher for the free lego, hide it away for DS who at nearly 10 has just decided that "actually Mum, I've always liked Lego, its you who doesn't like it!!!" so that means I'll have to get him some for his birthday and here was me thinking I had succesfully gotten away with it:[
go and collect the material I've been offered on Freecycle, apparently there's lots of it which is great cos DD and I have some sewing projects planned and if its free material she can practise as much as she wants without me getting flustered over bought stuff being ruined :]]
Finish tidying upstairs
plan this week out with free/cheap activities for the kiddies

I'll not be following the lists much as its half term and I just don't do housework and school hols lol [yes, I know, I don't do housework and non hols lol]


Have a good day everyone

Helen

PS CY - how's your daughter after the Doc visit
