Morning!
Kiddies being annoying. I've got some "time off" later when they go swimming though. I need to:
Get up in loft and tidy the Xmas decs away, just shoved through hatch weeks ago.
Get out in conservatory - get rid of 2 bin liners of playballs that haven't been played with.
Also sort the big box full of gibble, light bulbs, sandpaper, that DH stashed.
Make a birthday cake :eek:
I wrapped his birthday bits last night, but do need to help his little sis make him a card.
Just having a coffee. Then need to pull myself together. DD is trying to shove her drawing board in my face and DS is going on about watching peppa pig. He doesn't even like peppa pig.
:mad:
And breathe...Bossymoo

I have no car to get kids to school or to get to work. I hate snow and ice! I would walk but will have to get cabs now and I resent the money it will cost. The engineer has arrived to do the cracked windscreen on DH's car. My employers car was dead when I went to get it last night.
Must get a move on or kids will be late!0 -
Morning!
I go away this afternoon :j I seriously need this "me" time.
Plans for this morning, once DD2 has left for school
Finish coffee
Load DW
Unload WM
Finish packing bag and collecting up other stuff that needs to go with me
S & S living room so the girls dad doesn't think I'm a total slob when he picks DD2 up after school
Check tyre pressure, adjust accordingly
Panic I haven't got everything I need to take
I know there's not much on that list but I won't be able to stop myself checking the thread inbetween0 -
Well the snow has finally hit us here and DS1 is severely disappointed that the schools are still open (for the moment anyway). DH has gone off to do the shopping as I didn't want to take DS2 out when weather is bad incase we get stuck and also if the school does close I wanted to be at home for DS1. Hope it clears before tomorrow as I have to go and get my hair cut and I am not wanting to cancel that again.
Skinty - hope you and Holly had a nice first night at home and that you are taking it easy.
Hugs to those who need them.
