    Happy Birthday JackieO :bdaycake:

    So much to do in the house today. Stew on the menu for tonight but I'm fasting as per 5:2 diet. Unbuttered toast and two poached eggs just consumed :)

    More work on my university personal statement today.

    That's basically it. Feel a bit rubbish for posting as it's so uninspiring. :o

    Have a lovely day everyone. :)

    sistercas fingers crossed for dd's exam

    happy birthday jackieo :bdaycake: sounds like your having a wonderful birthday, enjoy it :)

    Today's much the same as yesterday.
    More packing,:eek:
    take ds2 to see the OT and the dentist :o:eek:
    sorting through paperwork
    making chops for (going to invite dad)
    really need to do some flying but with boxes everywhere it impossible.

    Already done two loads of washing and drying them now.

    Two of DS2's baby teeth are virtually disintegrated and pushing onto his two teeth surrounding it, checked it again last night and its looks its infecting the other two teeth. So think its going to be a major job, my fault for not making him him go. Its taken me six months to get him and appointment and to agree to go.
    Know fine well what they going say, he's having too much sugar and not brushing his teeth.
    Eh no he's brushes his teeth, but takes me an hour to do them. He has mouthwash so its not that.
    Sweets basically none existent, once a week if that. Then i'll be told its because he's having too much pure juice and fruit. Honestly i can't win.
    I know my teeth are bad are rotten and need sorting out but that's me drinking coke from a few months old to age 18 constantly. I did it to myself, my kids don't drink fizzy unless they in a pub or restaurant.

    Well better get back to the grindstone, got soundgarden blasting out, so got good music at least:p

    :bdaycake:Happy birthday JackieO, hope you enjoy being spoiled for the rest of the day, am glad DGS loves Glasgow when he visits, am rather keen on it myself!
    Nothing planned for today, its trying to snow this morning so won't go far, leftover chicken to turn into a pie for dinner and am contemplating clearing a corner of my bedroom, although every time I look at it I just walk out again!
    Have a good day all!
    RIP Iain

    Good morning everyone :)

    Happy Birthday to Jackie O :bdaycake:

    I hope you have a lovely day _party_

    Have managed to cut strong painkillers down to just bedtime and am managing on paracetamol and ibuprofen during the day. This should stop me snoozing my life away.

    Have sold a lot on ebay so may try making some small parcels today and DH can do the big ones when he gets home and take them all to the post office tomorrow. More clutter gone and money towards debts :T

    Well wishes for all sick people and pets and hugs for those who need or just want them. Keep warm and safe and have a super day :)
