He is working an IT dept of a school. His school trousers are grey and I though black would be best/expected?


I'll go on a chazzer search on Friday.. I'm skint until then..

Ex runs the IT department in a school, he wears black pants (only as he lived in black), smart shirt & a tie.

Today I have updated my work accounts with last weeks income (only as there were loads of coins and I've been putting it off I now have bags of coins to pay into the bank though ) but I still need to properly breakdown May/June invoices, updated the household accounts, worked out a budget (in theory, note I said THEORY, I should have my overdraft paid off next June. But then I've been having it cleared in 12 months since DD was in year 4 and she's now in year 8!), done numerous loads of washing/TD, moved my 2 livingroom paint samples to the other end of the room and now I'm not liking either colour , and spent this evening watching TV with DD

Tomorrow I plan on clearing the ironing pile, putting all the throws back on the sofas, get the end of my invoice breakdowns done, sort out the mistakes which need fixing this time around for work, make sure my paperwork is all up to date for work on Thursday morning, sort out the music on my phone as I am sick of listening to the Gl3e soundtracks which for some reason are the only songs on it atm before I have work on Thursday and make sure I have a decent tea on for DD when she gets in from school. The choir is doing the new intake (current year 6 kids) day tomorrow and then going into town singing for the afternoon. There's that many things going on atm with the choir I've lost track so no idea why they're going to town :rotfl:

I should really head for bed. Just going to finish reading something then I'm off. :wave:

Evening everyone :hello: and hope you all had a good day. I'm in mourning after the Rafa match

Pig-pen - I agree with Bonnie that grey trousers are okay if you can't find black so long as a shirt and tie, polished shoes, clean nails and hair.

My brain waved at me.. DS2's prom suit!!! I don't need to buy one!!!.. a shirt he will need still and a tie he can borrow one from his dad or from OH.. he has a nice striped one . .. Panic somewhat depanicked! ... and everyone said I was daft buying him a suit.. I knew it would be used again!!!!

Picked DS2 up some nice new shoes in Clarks sale and a couple of pairs for the girls to grow into.. Couple of bits off their list of needs. Bother.. I still forgot to give Moomin her new boots.. I shall put them somewhere very visible.. They need the raise on but we will get there!

YORKSHIRELASS

Morning everyone, mm, deep clean day - should it be bathroom or utility? Or maybe both.

Skip arriving today for our ongoing garden clearance project which is very exciting.

I didnt join the challenge thingy but have decided I need to get fitter. I seem to have slipped from running 2 or 3 times a week to doing nothing.

Right, paid stuff first, got to move myself!

charlies_tribe

Good morning all. Had a quick scan through but there has been so many posts since my last that I've lost track of what I wanted to say. Hope everyone is ok.


Jazee congratulations! It will be a long time until I reach that day.
Yorkshirelass we are hoping to get a skip in today too, but for the house clearance, hoping it will make us move faster as we have to fill it before they fetch it.
Mumto5 sending lots of hugs. I remember the feeling well. DH stopped when we found out we were having DD but it took 2 years of lying and hiding packets until he fully stopped. It led to so many arguments and me constantly checking his pockets and for the smell, I did become a little obsessed. Its been over 10 years now though with out a single one.


Yesterday was spent with a trip to the pet shop after the pup chewed up her collar, freezer shopping, freezers sorted and every item written down. Then back into our bedroom and I have a huge pie of rubbish and a huge pile for the charity shop and a huge mountain in the living room that needs sorting through.
Took dd to doctors for the all clear so called into Tesco for some bin bags,will start bagging it all up later.


Right, kiddies have just got up. Better go get them sorted.
Need to sort living room today as have my nephews this afternoon and then think I need to tackle the bathroom.


Just to add, June challenge not quiet complete so will carry it over this month.

just_the_two_of_us

Morning all - thanks for the congrats re weight loss Ionafan and LynneJK - but may have been premature because we went to local W*spoons for steak night last night and I'm afraid they are much better with chips and a bottle of wine!!! Today is a new day however and good breakfast has been demolished.

Pigpen was OH under the influence when he bought that tie? My DH had some really really gross ones when they were in during the 80s!!

Not sure what to do re deep clean today as only have this morning before vol job 2 pm and need to do the several HHI and catch up on Monday and Tuesday first.:eek:
Got it - will deep clean Hall stairs and landing - mainly because they are relatively free of "stuff" and quite quick to do - then I'll be able to spread out from there - well that's the theory!!!!

Have agood day everyone x

ETA will carry over June paperwork challenge to July please and add lose 4lbs weight by end July

Dustykitten

Morning all

Feeling a little better so I'll have another day of resting and pottering.

I've compiled all you deep clean ideas into Post #1 so no excuses for lacking ideas.

Mumto5

I've searched his car as he used to smoke to keep himself awake with all the travelling he does with work. No evidence discovered. I've looked at his receipts and can see no evidence. I think I am a bit paranoid:o

DH has done the school run. I've decluttered the chest of drawers in my bedroom. Lots of stuff bagged up for the school fete.

I need to get dressed, DS3 is back to hospital and I need to pick him up from school at 9.50.

Good day wishes to you all .
