    So much for vitamin D ... I have felt worse the last 3-4 days when it has been sunny :( I am a right old mizzbag this week. I know a lot is down to the school situation .. Tiddles started the new school today.. she demanded I mooch down to the classroom with her and didn't even say goodbye!!! Cheeky moose! I have asked the lady in the office to sort her a pe top a sweatshirt or cardigan and a school polo top.. and just present me with a bill so I need to buzz to the bank at some point.

    The head at the old school has asked me to go in at 2:45.. no doubt just to make me blubber some more!! I feel like that is all I have done for the last 2 weeks! They just don't seem to appreciate this has been a really difficult decision and I've really struggled with it. I might just ring as say I can't make it tbh.. I have to be at opticians with DD2 at 4 and the parent partnership at 7 and the beasts are supposed to be at KH's for dinner so I need to shift them too.. and cook dinner.. I really don't think I can fit her in as well without doing myself injury... that sounds like a good excuse to me.. I might stick with it.

    2 loads of washing to get through and a lot more still to shift from the hideous work surface in the kitchen.

    Best get the mini imps washed and dressed.. they are in yesterdays dirty clothes after both nappies leaked overnight again and we had to do the school run!!

    I'll join you at 11 tmd as ive still got pots to wash because ive just jogged round the island on wii fit. sort of impressed as ive not been on for a month eaten like a pig (too many crisps and easter chocs) and id only put 2lb on. so i still only have about 2 stone to lose according to that LOL, i think that would get me back down to BC (before children weight) i cant imagine being that size again so im not really trying i just want to be fitish

    just had a coffee and rang mum and friend. after the call to my friend i needed a happier talk with someone else. weve known friends for ever so are close to them and their kids. they have a really difficult and sad situation going on at the moment - all we can do is let them know we are there for them but i do wish i had a magic wand that could cure all ills. Especially the B&$*&%D one that starts with C.

    So sorry to hear that :(

    PUK number now written down just in case

    I am sure a different puk number is needed each time you need it unlocked

    Skint - Wow - that was some cooking session you had, I do mine 4 weekly & it saves a heck of a lot of time:T
    TMD - Happy Birthday to your DH :bdaycake:

    I had a serious case of CBA last night, DH had already done stairs for me, also another baby announcement last night, we have 3 now in my family, due June, July & November :D ohh I love babies, cannot wait :D

    I am over my :mad: from yesterday, phone has been returned, re-packed off to recycle company today (hopefully if DH remembers) oh and of course ebay refused to remove negative feedback, I have left a response to it though, let people make up their own mind

    DD has no new outbreaks, and is healing really well, I think she has been very lucky & she is making brioche today so will be back at school on Monday I think.

    i asked the person i was having the live chat with that and she said with the phone and sim card that number would work again. but i will know what to do if it happens again and wont be so wussy about doing it.

    glad you got your phone back macpep - sorry that it caused so much hassle and stress

    2 ebay items selling.. I would like them to go for a little bit more, but never mind.. space is at a minimum in here at the moment so anything will do.

    Waiting for WM's to finish.

    Might go find some food.. I am starving today for some reason.

    URGH.. maybe I won't eat.. the baby just tried kicking the cuppa out again, and my yoghurt.. it is a great big whopper (like Squeak and OH!) so food space is like space in the house.. non-existent! Word of advice to those ladies without children.. do NOT breed with someone 13 inches taller than yourself! :eek:

    Hi all

    Time-out in between doing the bedroom and the spare room, as Mr LW is wfh tomorrow, and will be taking me to the hand therapy clinic for another wax treatment tomorrow afternoon.

    Mrs mp - I don't think I've said yet, apologies for being late - healing vibes by the barrow-load for the young lady with the awful C diagnosis.

    Is there anything left to say that can't be dealt with via email or on the phone? I suspect not - I'd cry off if I were you. What can they do - send the press-gang to drag you in for a meeting??:o Best of luck to Tiddles in her new school, btw.:o

    Mr LW's new trousers washed and out on the line; he has the other pair on today, and nearly went out of the house with the label still attached.:D
    I swear that man has had more new clothes in the last month than I've had in the last two years!:rotfl:

    ETA Ooh, I nearly forgot - Hoppy Birdday to Mr TMD:beer:
    If your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)

    Aw, thanks for all the Birthday wishes for Mr TMD - he says "thank you".

    Bathroom squeaky clean, more filing done, made lunch and scoffed it, just about to put a birthday cake in the oven. Poor OH. We never send cards to each other as we believe the money could be better spent elsewhere, however, the mantelpiece looks rather barren with only 1 card (from his Dad and StepMum). It's not like his Mum to forget :-(

    That's why I've decided to make him a cake, so at least he has something. I've ordered a book on Self Sufficiency that he's been after for ages and that hasn't turned up either. Poor love - not the best of Birthdays. The day will pick up later when we go out for Dinner and then to the Cinema to watch Star Trek.
