  • Good evening :D

    I have submitted my essay! :j Nearly 3 1/2 hours early! :j
    I will need to start on the next bit now - but it can wait until tomorrow.

    Well, I have been working all day. Kitchen looks ok though. I had an unannounced visit from my network coordinator this morning, but all is ok :) I also had a chat with Bubba's mum when she picked him up (I only had him for a couple of hours - and he was asleep for half of it!). Today was his last day, as she is packing up school :( I am sad because he is lovely, but also that it is a shame she isn't carrying on. Going back into education after abreak will be harder for her - if she ever does it. It is such a waste, as she is a bright girl :( I am also a little sad as I am £160 p.w. down :o On the plus side, I will get a little time back, and it will be easier getting about with only 1 or 2 little ones, instead of 2 or 3. I may just see if anything turns up over the winter, and advertise in the spring. It will make dog walking easier! It was Bubba's 1st birthday today, so at least I got to give him his present :)

    Today I have done 1 load of washing (washed,dried & folded). emptied several potties & washed out, wiped round the toilet several times (3 small boys, 1 large one!), cooked 2 dinners, emptied hoover, vac'd up downstairs, washed up & put on the DW. Oh, and Miss T & I walked the dog and did our best Peppa Pig impressions in muddy puddles :D Sometimes I love my job :p I have also sprinkled Bicarb on 2 patches of smelly carpet in the hope that some of the smell is absorbed :o (darned cat! :mad:)

    Off to update my list for tomorrow, and make a plan of action (or inaction! :o)

    I am going to update my list for tomorrow,
  • Took eldest to see Skyfall - in a word - brilliant!

    Sat in front of TV this evening when kids came bursting in - all manner of police cars and vans and an ambulance came down our road! Lights flashing......

    Kids happily entertained for an hour.....

    Isn't it just brilliant, cyclingyorkie. We went last weekend and everybody played a blinder of a role. Can't wait to see how Q's role develops - I think he is my secret crush!!:D

    /COLOR]


    If it's gone, it's done - trying to get ahead as I am working 10 until 1 tomorrow.

    Got the 3rd coat of paint on the walls in the kitchen today (started it in September doh!). It would love it to be done by the time the inlaws arrive on Saturday, but OH wants to do the wood panelling in the eating area as he is better at it, but I know I will need a pair of size 9's to kick him to do it. I might start it tomorrow and time it to be in full flow when he walks in and hopefully, he'll whip the brush out of my hands ;)

    I feel like I'm multi-tasking tonight. OH and kids have gone to bed, I'm loading CD's onto iplayer to declutter my CD's to musicmagpie whilst chatting to you guys and watching Hoarders and Nigellisima on the planner. Might even go and pop the kettle on and spoil myself. My HH Me time is about 2 hours so far :beer:

    Hope everybody has a great flying day tomorrow if I don't get chance to catch up with you all.

    TMD xx

    Hubbie says it's old in terms of the Android software and not a good buy he says wait 10-14 days and see what is about then.

    Thanks Dusty, I will do that, TBH I'm not good on the technology, I only really want it for films. music, games and a little browsing xx

    Hi ladies, I've fallen asleep on the sofa watching catch up Dallas.

    Today I have been mainly washing and putting clothes on the maiden.

    DH worked from home and tidied the kitchen. He put his back out brushing his teeth on Saturday and is in a lot of pain. He's seen our osteopath friend tonight and seems to be more comfortable.

    I have a day at home tomorrow. I'm going to compile a to do list. I may be some time !
