Ive sort of hung on to loads because i thought they might need it again but logically why would they 4 of them have left school, i remember the eldest laughing when i rang last year and asked her if she minded if i culled a few high school math french science etc exercise books - she did laugh and say but what if one day i need to refresh my memory on french verbs or remind myself which way the battery symbol goes in a circuit diagram. She was taking the pee wasnt she:o

Evening all! Paid work for me all day, every day and really don't feel like flying when I get back and it's all dark and cold...lit the stove (no central heating!) so it will be toasty in 10-15 mins, perfect for relaxing in front of! Have done a few 'bits' though, will save the remainder for the weekend. Looks like I'll have a busy one, but as I am trying hard to 'clear to neutral' when I do stuff (knitting, reading, scoffing biccies, getting ready for bed, etc) I'm finding things are much quicker to do!

Dining room tidied
Mogs fed
Going to do 15 minutes in the kitchen next.

Fortunately kids not pestering for food yet as Aga is warming but not anywhere near cooking temp.

DS3 is much brighter an said ' you was right it was a morning thing I was fine once I settled into the day' Music to my ears. Let's hope this will reduce tomorrow's suffering or at least give him belief that it will pass.

Yes, she was - but your reply could have been 'google it then!'.

Anything and everything can be found on t'internet;)

BTW I had to google nurses uniforms (pictures; then and now, for a similarities and differences exercise as we're looking at Flo. Nightingale) - well - SOME of those nurses must be a little...erm...chilly:cool:

Evening all, I haven't caught up with thread so hope everyone is ok.

Busy at the paid stuff today, but in the mornings this week each room has now had attention, so I can have a lie in before the paid stuff tomorrow and enjoy a day out with DH on Saturday.

Bring it on....

DS1 has decluttered work top in kitchen, and also his stuff in living room, and I have carpet again!

OH has washed all the towels.

Work tough going this afternoon, as two classes that are unavoidably taught by supply staff on other days are forgetting how to behave in class. I shall be waiting outside the last lesson for five of them tomorrow! They thought it would be terrifically funny to run out and not stay today. Phone call home as well I think.

Hugs, sticks and spoons as needed!

Hi all

Busy, busy day. Up at 6.30am, did the ironing and put mealballs in sc before work. Did 4 hrs at job no 1, had a meeting with DS1s consultant, then 2 hrs voluntary work. Home, family fed, cleared up, sheets changed, dusted and hoovered in bedroom then 1.5hrs paid job number 2.

Bit disappointed that OH has only done a half day today and I came home to find the dishwasher needed emptying and washing still in the machine when it had been bright and breezy outside. Our little chat about him helping more has worked then. Sigh.

Right, I am in bed so I am switching this off and going to sleep. My boss keeps telling me I look tired and it kind of feels like a criticism (or is she just being kind?). Either way I do need an early night.

Oh and 3 loads of wet washing sitting downstairs. Its a good forecast for tomorrow so I MUST hang it out before I go to work!

I've been so busy this week! I've not even looked at the list .
Met a friend who had a shock diagnosis of breast cancer with bone mets just before Christmas. She can't believe it, nor can we. She only went for the scan because they couldn't figure why her back wasn't healing. Now they can't even operate. She had no idea she had a mass in her breast despite checking them regularly . It's just so sad.

I'm getting my list up ready for the morning so I can just potter my way through. I'm hoping that I sleep ok tonight, my hip's playing me up something rotten.

New babies, and new flyladies, welcome! Black dogs, bog off. CY, well done to DD, dusty, well done to DS2 and gentle squeeze for DS3.

Will pop in and out through the day tomorrow and waffle some more.

I've been out for tea with friends, one of whom is moving back to her home town. So we did the whole leaving gift thing dinner was very nice. Have some Christmas presents for the small people too.

Aww. My mum babysat, and I've checked on kiddies, DS fast asleep with his fave little ted up his pj top. He didn't look very comfortable. little tiger now is liberated and on the pillow

Mum even washed up for me :T

Very chilly out tonight, and could not see the northern lights as was suggested on the news earlier...
