  • DNMS thank you.....

    Well, I sorted out an eBay issue where someone wanted a return and refund but never sent the item back. eBay found in my favour! One annoying thing off my list. Continue to house hunt. Job hunting has gone quiet as I have to make sure it fits around children (one at school f/t, one goes to nursery in afternoons and then the baby) and don't want to get them settled with a childminder and then move. It's such a messy situation.

    After school run I will spend the afternoon cleaning, sorting kids toys and clothes, washing, cooking and then settle the little ones to bed.

    Oh, it started snowing here not long ago and is freezing!!! X

    Evening all :)
    Been awol for a few days, as I am still recovering from my weekend away :eek:. Not nearly as much fun as it sounds, just didn't get any sleep :(

    Anyway, today I have:
    Walked all journeys
    Not spent anything :T
    All HM meals
    Used up most of the fridge contents in a huge ham and veg soup and a chilli - not much more cooking needed this week, and lots of bendy veggies used up :)
    Picked some rhubarb from the garden
    Done some surveys and checked FPL
    Had heating on this morning though as it was so cold - it was more like November than the end of April, really cold wind, and we even had a hail storm :( Off again now though, apart from the bathroom and airing cupboard :)
    Despite this, pegged out 2 lots of washing in between rain /sleet / hail and got it fairly dry. Now finishing off on the airer :)
    Still not managed to contact the electrician we were recommended to get the power point the dishwasher is connected to fixed, so I am washing up by hand only. Don't mind to be honest, but need to get the electrical problem fixed. I will try another electrician tomorrow. I don't think I will be using the dishwasher so much in future though :)

    Hope Ziggy and Foxgloves are ok, not like them to disappear :(
  • Curled up on the sofa, wrapped in a blanket feeling sorry for myself. Feel like I may have caught the bug. DD is being an absolute monster at the moment, specifically with me. I am at my wits end with her :( 3 going on 13!

    Hi everyone _pale_
    Still feeling utterly rubbish, and I'm literally just stopping. I wanted to check in quickly on here before I got to bed. Shattered doesn't come close. I haven't read the thread yet so hope that everyone is doing ok.
    before it gets out of control.
    So today I will:
    [STRIKE]:think: check banking and PAD[/STRIKE]
    :think: make a start on the monthly shop online as it's payday on Friday :j :( No time
    [STRIKE]:think: only spend on milk and a trip to the vet with naughty tortie[/STRIKE] £50 for the cat :eek:
    [STRIKE]:think: try not to stress[/STRIKE]
    [STRIKE]:think: stay drugged up on paracetamol[/STRIKE]
    [STRIKE]:think: meals from stores[/STRIKE]
    [STRIKE]:think: full day of teaching[/STRIKE]
    [STRIKE]:think: finally finish marking these blimming tests[/STRIKE]:j:j:j:j
    [STRIKE]:think: eat mindfully instead of eating rubbish because I'm stressed[/STRIKE]
    :think: make time for exercise :( Not well enough
    [STRIKE]:think: 7000 steps for my Bounts[/STRIKE]
    :think: attempt to finish crocheting my cuddly sheep. :(
    Remainder of the evening consists of catching up on here, watching tv and getting some sleep
