Thanks

Hairspray!!!! No I haven't gone mad. Cheap value stuff from Tesco, none of that nice to hair stuff as doesn't have enough chemicals in it. Make sure you clean the drum aswell or it'll be on your next load too, aswell as finding the pen or you will have more blue things.

likklegibbon sorry just about to log off but seen a desperate Mum so popped in again. Off to bed in a mo, no more packing allowed here as need to tackle the boys room and it'll wake them so shhhhh!

Good luck for the interview Rach pen will probably chip off once it's cooled down. Thanks for the reminder about massages, need to phone our carers centre aswell to change address, will book a therapy session while I am on the phone for after the kids are back to school and the move is over, full massage for £7 I think it is

Night night everyone (good morning Denise )

Good luck with the interview Rach.

Plasterer is going to be here soon, and he'll block my access to the kitchen, so I may do my study this morning as it really needs a good tidy and clean, and then do the kitchen once he's gone.

Vets for me first thing this morning, going to be fun trying to take 4 rats there all of which need to be in separate carriers

just popping in to make sure i don't go in to work too early on my part time day as i normally do, although i need to be a bit early as i have loads of work to do. I am just trying to spend some time doing what i want.

yesterday was manic. I taught 4 lessons, had lots of people pestering me wanting me to do stuff from the second i walked in. Didn't get chance to think all day. Also noticed my wages were wrong, so i then checked last months pay slip and that was wrong too. Shows where my head was last month. So i am dealing with loads of management carp and not even being paid to do that.

stayed late for detention, none of the kids turned up, then the science technician confessed to me that he hadn't actually handed in the slip i asked him to, so it wasn't the kids fault but that wasted 2 hours.

then, picked charlie up, half hour drive home, copuple of hours playtime

then cooked dinner after his bedtime as DH was very late in for work - came in just in time to plate it up for me.

then did 2 hours of marking. It was then 10:20 and i wasn't starting planning lessons for today then. by the time we had washed up and both had baths it was 11:40, and then i kept hearing charlie whimpering in the night (teeth i think).

this morning then up at 6:30 as usual, and have managed to get a washload on, get DH to load my car up for the day, and charlie dressed. I had now best get dressed myself and get ready to head in as i still have quite a bit to do before i can start teaching at 11:15. i look forward to the day when i can rock up at 11 and spend the morning peacefully with my boy.


No wonder we all get so grumpy at times when life is so busy.

Hugs all round, i did read all the thread for stress relief this morning. Can see not a lot has changed really as we are all still snowed under.

Michelle, x

Morning lovely ladies (and fellas if there are any?).

Hope everyone managed to get some sleep last night. Sounds like I missed the party as I was tucked up by 10pm last night, and feeling a lot better for it this morning. Fingers crossed that headache will not return as it was still lurking last night. It's dull and rainy here this morning, despite the weather forecast showing no clouds over Sussex this morning, so will have to shift all of the stuff on the airer and clear some room for the new washing as I'm conscious that I've been lazy and used the TD a lot recently.

My big tasks for today are to get this job application done, as the closing date is tomorrow. Congratulations on your interview Rach.

Right, off to find breakfast, wash my hair and then find my list and application form.

Catch up later.

Morning all. Just checking emails and then I'm off back to bed - I knew it wasn't worth going there straight away as the binmen are here doing the alleyway and they always park right outside our house :rolleyes: I'm exhausted. Having strange dreams which I can't remember when I wake up but I keep waking up during them wide awake then I drift off again, only to wake up about 30mins later :mad: I'm putting it down to everything I have going on ATM with OH and I splitting up, and DDs reaction to it (obviously she doesn't want us to split up and now she's not looking forward to Christmas as OH said he's going to start looking for his own place after then - she's even said she doesn't want Christmas this year cause she doesn't want daddy to leave us:( ). All we can do though is talk about it.

Right, the binmen have gone so I'm off back to bed to see if I can make up some of the sleep I missed last night - I cannot function on 3 hours sleep :eek: :wave:
