  • Who's up for a 30 mins cleaning/ tidying session at 12.30. I'm going to tackle the craft room which I have been procrastinating about for weeks.

    First though a cup of tea :)

    How did you get on Elasticmoney. Are those bathrooms sparkling? :)

    I get so annoyed with myself when I think that a job that just took less than half an hour has taken me about 3 weeks to get around to doing. On a more positive note the office/ craft room is now clutter free, 2 bags of rubbish binned and papers filed and shredded. Gave it a quick whip around with the hover too.

    Have to pop to the vets now with a poorly pet and then back to give the fence a second coat of paint, weather permitting.

    Then for the nice job, call my mum and arrange tomorrow's girlie day out.

    and the slide into pitdom starts...

    Hello everyone!

    DW x 1

    how pathetic am I?

    heard, on the traffic this am that there was a fire 'near Meadowhall' affecting the M1 - and I was stupidly excited because I could see the smoke plume on my way to work - in Derbyshire!

    Elastic well done on so much clearing

    Frizzle glad the boy is back on his bike

    Mr MP lovely knitting, tried to learn how to K1, P1 YO before every stitch in the car at cricket but it went messily wrong - I think it is too advanced for me!

    Really tired after a day at the paid stuff and cricket, only flying has been washing up and sorting out the medicine cupboard.

    Still tomorrow is another day so I will fly, shop and govern.

    Hi all,

    Lovely knits, Mrs MP

    Odd day here. Dropped the kids at breakfast club then it took me more than 90min to drive the 5 miles to work :eek:. The parking meter spat me a ticket then flung out my money and more besides, leaving me £9 in profit :money: but on the down side I missed two meetings. Oops.

    I decided not to carry the stress through my day, though, so it did pick up. Came home to find my mum here, had a cuddle with the baby and got sicked on :rotfl:, got weighed and lost 1.5lb, and that's about it.

    Couldn't be bothered making tea - littlies had pasta and I had crumpets, since I'd not had my syns.

    Loaded DW and picked a few bits up, but that is my flying contribution done for today :o

    Early start tomorrow but I will try and flap a bit after the paid stuff...

    Away with the fairies :beer:

    Strange day today. Got in work to find there was no water. At 8.30 it was decided to shut as no toilets etc so kiddies all had a day off. Water was soon fixed so all staff stayed for 'training' and had some time to so some sorting! So home by 4 today! Result!

    Still only got my basic list done but hey ho at least I tried!!! Lol!
