I'm loving my Star Wars PJs - big baggy t-shirt and leggings with Star Wars pictures all over. I wear them with my big jumper and am so cosy! Quite often I get in from school and put them straight on when J not around as once I've shut the door behind Z when she's in from school then that's it apart from letting the dogs out for their toilet. Your onesie sounds lovely Narco!Flymarkeeteer: £168 and counting0 -
CY hope op went OK sweetie x
MMM well done for being positive - the right thing will turn up I'm sure
Was up at 5 as S was sick; there's something going around school but he's looking much better now. Today is an inset day at school so I was planning for him to be off anyhow.
Thanks for vibes for later. I went round taking pictures on my phone yesterday which I can use as evidence. I just want the counsellor to see I'm not a nutter, just living with someone who denies that he has a 'holding on to stuff' problem.
Best news though in that almost finished my hat; a few more rows, weave in ends and I'm done. Not going to bother blocking it. Going to go straight onto another one though as found a lovely Star Wars hat pattern (for free) on Ravelry and I have the yarn. Can't wait to get started :jFlymarkeeteer: £168 and counting0 -
CY - Thinking of you.
LW - Those dogs are adorable! I'd happily fall behind if it meant getting to spend time with them
Mumof2 - Yay Whiz! I think I might have to look into lessons for Zack, there's only so much I can learn from utube and reading booksHope you're appointment today goes well.
Bossy - Glad to hear you're feeling a bit better.
Well my plan to get the books out yesterday went pear shaped. The printer decided to play silly beggers and not print stuff properly unless it was set as "best photo" quality which is also the slowest printer speed. Then it kept dropping ink in random places on the print outs so I had to print extra copies. :mad: I finally got the books completely finished at 4pm as DD got in from school in a murderous mood so I dealt with that first in case I needed to get in touch with the school again. No need thankfully but that took me until nearly 7pm. Then it was cold, dark, wet and very windy so I decided not to put the books out then.
Todays plan is to clear the ironing pile as I need my clean clothes and they're at the bottom of the pile, have a shower then put the books out (all 70+ of them) then come home and clean. I was going to go to the bank after taking Zack out for a walk but its way too windy and he doesn't even want to go in the yarden so playing/training with him is on the agenda as well. I'm not even going to post a list just now as I need to do the whole house so I'll post it later when I'm back in from work.
Time to get the ironing done....if I can get Zack off my knee :rotfl:Creeping back in for accountability after falling off the wagon in 2016.Need to get back to old style in modern ways, watching the pennies and getting stuff done!0 -
