I had a productive hour before the school run. Picked ds1 up and nipped to the shops before swimming. Came home and did reading and spelling practice. Then made dinner, put kiddies to bed and then did an hour of work. Hubby then made me put the laptop away and chill out with him for the rest of the night. I did put the dw on before bed and put some clothes away. The kitchen is looking great and the living room, landing and bedroom are not looking too bad so my aim is to get them done tomorrow

Bossy big hugs sweetie, you sound really fed up, thinking of you and the little moos.
Had a reply from MP with stupid response from hospital - they have picked the wrong person to lock horns with and lie to!
Alvin is very clingy tonight.
I've stupidly agreed to join another committee, when will I ever learn, like I have free time for more meetings.
Put my foot in it tonight with a parent not realising they are a young widow. Not been one of my best days with taking the radio home from work and leaving some papers there.
Bed I think.The birds of sadness may fly overhead but don't let them nest in your hair0 -
The dog's eaten the sausages I got out for tea!
Wendywitch - hope you soon feeling better
I don't really use Facebook any more. I used it for a while when my son was travelling but we now stay in touch with Whatsapp and he also has a tablet he takes with him.
I used to be very involved in local and regional politics but not now I live where I do. I have always respected other's political and religious views and usually find it best not to get into discussions about these with others. Some do seem to get quite 'hot under the collar' when you start talking about these. It was especially like this last year when we had the vote here about devolution - I just stopped talking about it !!
Finished making the big pot of Bolognese and also a vat of leek and broccoli soup from yesterday, portioned and froze most of it - rest was eaten today/will be eaten tomorrow :j
Was at work again today - ran late again :eek: so didn't get much else done apart from keeping kitchen up.

It makes a change for me to be the first to post in the morning
It is silly o'clock. I woke up an hour ago, dying for a cuppa. I drink decaff tea, but am still wide awake. However, I have made good use of the time to deal with some more paperwork. The mountain that erupted on Monday is gradually being eroded away.
Will try to get another hour's sleep before an early start for our trip to London to see this exhibition. I'm very excited, like a big kid, because it includes one of my all-time favourite sculpturesWe're also going to meet up with DH's sister for tea.
At least I should be able to catch up with sleep for 2 hours each way on the trains, and there's wi-fi on board so I can keep an eye on you :rotfl:
Have a good day, everyone x0 -
You beat me!
Am on break. I have had a banging headache since I got to work last night. I think it's this place. I have had one every shift I have worked for a couple of months! I have 2 jobs I'm applying for. 1 I emailed tonight to see if they would consider a 1 year secondment :eek:!
After I finishe here, I have gym, must then go to tip and chazza shop to empty my full up car. I hope to find a tray of eggs in it. I bought a tray on Sunday and can't find them anywhere. I have £10 in my account and it's not payday until 22nd.
I have to make sushi after I have done all of this little lot, then sleep for a bit and then(!) get up, take kids to piano and do cubs. Not too busy a day then eh?!Debt: 16/04/2007:TOTAL DEBT [strike]£92727.75[/strike] £49395.47:eek: :eek: :eek: £43332.28 repaid 100.77% of £43000 target.MFiT T2: Debt [STRIKE]£52856.59[/STRIKE] £6316.14 £46540.45 repaid 101.17% of £46000 target.2013 Target: completely clear my [STRIKE]£6316.14[/STRIKE] £0 mortgage debt. £6316.14 100% repaid.0 -

Yoga this morning, haircut this afternoon and I need to collect DS3 from school cricket.
In between I must do a food shop, flying and paperwork and try to remember to go to the dump after yoga as it is very close by. Oh and street party meeting this evening too.The birds of sadness may fly overhead but don't let them nest in your hair0 -
Morning all. I haven't caught up with the thread but just this page and I'm worn out reading. Ionafan - have a great day. Kaz - hope you feel better soon.
This morning I'm going to give the hobby room a quick clean, then gym, bath, and walk the dogs before the paid stuff.
Have a great day everyone.Spend less now, work less later.0 -
