I'm at work and I'm p!ssed off totally with it. Sick of my work mates and their 'better than thou' attitudes. Have done my share of swearing this morning! Can I join in the crying too, please, cos that's just what I feel like doing!

*Big Hugs* Denise.

Don't let them get you down, you don't need to have attitude to know that you are by far better than them, just look at all you have achieved :T

Morning Flypeople,
I just wanted to send a big hug and some positive vibes to the Cry Club ladies, sounds like you're all swimming against the tide at the mo. I hope today is better and the colleagues and kids with attitude let up for a bit, the impish kids blow off some steam at school and you get a clear head to finish assignments and other loathsome tasks.

Off to work early today to make up some flexi after bailing early yesterday and feeling loads better after a very long sleep.
Have a useful day.

PS quick question for the day from me.. any easy ways to get rainspot marks off a suede coat without spending a fortune? Ta in advance

Morning all

(((HUGS))) to lil_me and DeniseNZ hope you are both feeling better today/tonight and so glad that you managed to get part of the assignment done, fingers crossed for you this morning.Been thinking lil_me that the letter you have in support of your housing app from the psychologist and your DS's SEN paperwork should be proof enough if they really don't believe you (I have no idea how much paperwork a SEN takes to set up but I imagine it is not insubstantial)

Better go and get dressed or we will be late for the school run.

See you all later

Level 3
Wipe light switches, sockets (make sure they are not switched on!!) and banister
Clean any other glass like mirrors, pictures etc
Tidy shoes, coats and bags .. wash any that need washing in preparation for cold weather!! See if there are any that don't fit, past their best or just plain uncomfy which could leave the house!
Extra Mission:
Pick one or more of the following tasks:

• Paperwork clearance.. spend 15 minutes minimum sorting through those piles of paper.
• Vacuum under furniture you can manage to move without hurting yourself
• Clean a window or two.
• Get yourself a bag or box, go around collecting things that are not in the place they should be, then put them back where they should be, or better still give them to their owners to put away themselves

take washing baskets back upstairs (I've been doing that for 6 days)
Do dishes

torianut you've done loads already :T

Just nipped to the shops and boy is it cold, mind you walking around in summer sandals doesn't help matters so gonna have to put thick socks and decent warm shoes on my list of things to buy next week. Brrrrrr.

OH's coming round in a bit so gonna see what I can get done beforehand as usually my momentum goes out the window when he turns up, I've always thought it rude to carry on with what you're doing when you have visitors, even if it is only OH, I can't help it lol

Will have a blast through and see what I can get done, better get going....xx

Morning All,
I was up at 6am cleaning my oven....what have you done to me???!!
Gonna crack on with my list now, just finishing my coffee.

Hope you all have a good day....

Right.. today is a new day.. it is sunny and blooming freezing.. I FINALLY got my shower.. hubby is up fixing the loo.. we think it is the overflow pipe for the new boiler that was installed last week.. if it is we shall be sending them a bill for fixing it.. that would hopefully cover the cost of hubbys new glasses.. is that exceptionally dishonest of us?? Considering hubby has taken a morning off work to fix it? He is usually charged out at £150 an hour!!! (I wish he did get paid that!)

I got DD5's winter boots today too they are adorable..

No doubt I'll find another half a million things to do too!!

You have been possessed by the scrubber-bug!! lol

It kept me awake for the first week thinking of all the things I had to do the next day.. but once I got on top of the worst I started sleeping better and my house looked better and I stressed less.

Morning all. Matchstick-eyed here today - next door decided to have a domestic at 10pm last night, until gone 1am this morning :mad: Got to the point where I was going to go and hammer on their door and tell them in a very unlady and inpolite way to shut up or else I was going to be flinging stuff into some rather unpleasant places:mad: Finally got to sleep and then woke up at 3.30am and couldn't get back to sleep until gone 5am, then OH's alarm went off at 6, mine 5 minutes later. Result? One very tired, teary (due to tiredness), and cranky mummy here today :rolleyes: I am so tired I couldn't even bring myself to go for my morning walk, I came home, brought the ebay boxes down from the bedroom (only the stuff I'm relisting though) and now I'm going to see if I can drink a "blue charge" from Asda, if palpatations start then I'm on multiple coffees instead :rolleyes: I can't sleep during the day, our road is too busy and I'm always worried I'd over sleep.

Anyways, I'm going to leave the livingroom until Thursday as it's our office space as well:p I'm going to tackle the ebay boxes (5 of them :eek: ) then the stack of paperwork belonging to DD thats under the stairs, and I'm going to make it a lazy day - tea is already decided on, burgers in buns ala McDonalds, but homemade. That way OH can help me make them Then again he might not be in the mood to help, his school has got OFSTED in today for 1 day and everyone is panicing and making his life hell (and in turn ours, although I can understand why so it's not as bad as it could be)! Why does it never rain but pour here ATM?

Right, kettle or can of bluecharge? :think: :wave:
