Right, there is something to go......hurrah.

Money has been moved around on the balance transfer merry go round, it's bad but not impossible as long as I do the next transfer on time .........lots of mystery meals out of the freezer and store cupboards for a while :money:

Pigpen, I also have had to do a bunk on Parent's Options evening this week, although in fairness I read DD3's report and went and saw the teachers last weeks Parent's Evening, but I just couldn't justify going there again and watching a dull powerpoint for 2 hours with DD4 and DS bouncing around. We've both been there, done it and bought the T shirt so I wouldn't give it a second thought.

[/STRIKE] about to have a study night for my homework for my group BD on Monday, the course finishes soon, so I should really make an effort to hand something in;)


I have had some parcels arriving from last minute sniping on the bay of E (before the plastic melted) so DD4 now has some proper clothes. I am part way through sorting her smaller sizes 6-9 and 9-12 to go up in the loft, but there is still some washing outstanding, so there might be some stragglers to bag up. Once that is done, I will sort her wardrobe out properly, then I can call that done.

Right, a quick lurk, a quick brew, then homework......I feel I should be putting the radio on and time travel back 30 years:rotfl:

Happy Birthday to your DS Dustykitten xx

YORKSHIRELASS

Birthday wishes to those celebrating and hugs to those poorlies. Been awol, just had a mad couple of days at work and I am so tired. Will catch up on a bit of housework tomorrow, the house is OKish but if I dont make an effort it will soon slide into chaos.

Went to see some friends tonight so it was a sort of night out , well it was nice and chilled out anyway.

pigpen

I am far too tired to walk up the stairs to bed... SO much to get done this weekend and no energy at all!!


Job 1... finish knitting the top for Dot and see if I have enough yarn left for shorts..
Job 2... find the kitchen and paint the ceiling.. see if I can manage to get it done without falling off anything and breaking myself!

DS3's DLA has been sorted.. so pleased it only took 2.5 months this time after the pee-take of 6 months last time!! DD1 is having him for a weekend in a fortnight to that should be an interesting experience for all concerned!!

Welcome Historybuff.

I'm off to a real flyer this morning. I've already fed the dogs and me, made packed lunches (yes I know I should call them pack ups now), done a meal plan for the week and sorted/cleaned the fridge and freezers.

Time to get dressed, do the village shop, walk the dogs then spend the day cracking on with the gardening.

Have a great day everyone.

Just decluttered breakfast then we have a few library and shopping things to get done this morning but I need to make a list or will forget.

Have a great day everyone. xx
