Morning, so I took the dog to the park this morning and he still wasn't right, so we went to the vets and he has infected anal glands and a temperature So he now has a weeks worth of antibiotics and antiinflammatories and I need to take him back on wednesday to see how he's getting on

I also took ds school shoes back to M&S as the sole fell off last week, they refunded no problem, although I duly spent that on a couple of jumpers

Yesterday we made quite a bit of progress with the fair - we now have a comprehensive to do list of everything we need to get done before the event - absolutely tonnes to keep us busy!!

This morning I have done 2 lots of washing, cleared up, now I need my shower then hoover through etc before ds is due back at 11.30. I may go and get the dog from Mums this morning and take him down the beach for a bit.

Ds has broken the pedal on his bike, Lord knows how, it's literally snapped in half :cool: so that needs fixing too. I popped into Sainsburys last night and got some food bits to keep us going so no food order being delivered today.

And another week has passed ... ds has not been good this week, he is excluded on monday so I will be staying at home with him too :mad: He is a very stroppy teenager at the moment, I text his Dad yesterday to let him know and he hasn't even bothered to reply yet :mad: :mad:

Tesco shopping should be here within the next half an hour, then it's an afternoon of watching soccer saturday and hoping we can pick up three points

I had another viewing yesterday but haven't heard anything yet, guessing they weren't interested either.

This morning we went and registered at the cash and carry, so that will be useful for the Pta. Guess I should go for another weekend to do list

Today I am going to try and clear most of the list above, take the dog for a decent walk and do some housework. I also need to go and buy a chicken as I forgot it from the tesco shopping for todays roast :cool:

Morning, so today is a work from home day and it feels very strange. So far I have cleaned and tidied the cupboard under the sink and the hall cupboard. I have also finally installed the printer that I bought about 6 months ago so at least now I can print homework off for ds.

I am going to sort my banking in a bit, I have a few other bits and pieces to fit in too; pay in 2 x cheques, take the bike to the shop for a puncture and lights, get bestie's son a birthday present for Wednesday, buy a 9v battery for the smoke alarm.

Other than that it will be a bit of housework, work emails, some Winter Fair work too.

I've paid in the cheques, we go back and collect the bike in twenty minutes, all ds work is done, ironing is done, I've had a bath, paid ds paper-round money into his savings. So all that is left for today is to make dinner, watch the footie tonight, and potter

Sounds like working from home is productive for you BBaM. Hope that your dog is better now.

benbenandme

Thanks Alison, yep the dog is fine now and his fur has grown loads already so he looks more like a puppy lab at the moment

I've made a chicken pasta bake for dinner using up the leftovers from yesterdays roast. There will be tonnes leftover - I'm not very good at reheating stuff, can anyone help please; I roasted the chicken yesterday and have put the leftovers in the pasta bake. Will the leftovers be okay if I nuke it in the microwave tomorrow?
