Hello mumof3, you!!!8217;re very welcome here.
Head feeling better. DH is off tomorrow so I!!!8217;ve decided to have a long weekend off from job searching.
See you all tomorrow.Spend less now, work less later.0 -
I know my card details. And have just looked suitably alarmed at Himself happily brandishing a new contactless bank card. Not because I have a problem with them, but because he just looked too damn happy about it, as the old one didn't work in a lot of places due to overuse *chip and pin only, with a dodgy chip) - which saved money.
Decluttered one 13 hour day today. It's a new record - last time there was a big event, I was on the point of walking out with an 'And you can stick your ****ing job' by 4.48pm. Today, it was 1.06pm. But the offers of various teenagers to thump the person making my life a misery cheered me up immensely, as they'd noticed without me saying a single word - which gives me hope for their futures, as they are observant and relatively sensitive towards others.
Been told I can come in later tomorrow because it's another late finish. Which is good, but it's not going to touch the amount of overtime I've done already. But the complete screwup at five to five with the only people able to sort it happily on their way home over an hour previously completely vindicates something I had said was essential to be sorted by last week.
Himself is just sorting out another takeaway because, apparently, I need to eat. Try telling that to work, as my packed lunch has been sat next to a radiator all day and is now being binned before it kills me off.
I can't wait for Easter. At least when you have your own, you do kind of like them and any unpleasant habits or attitudes are largely your own fault, one way or another. But when you're dealing with other people's, you have no say in whether it's normal to throw food on the floor, beat others around the face if they sit in the identical chair that another has decided is theirs at all costs, help themselves to other people's property or urinate over the seat and floor of a disabled toilet because it's 'not fair' that the kids' loos are covered in S*** and P***, blood and sanitary products before they've had the opportunity to cover them with the same substances.I could dream to wide extremes, I could do or die: I could yawn and be withdrawn and watch the world go by.Yup you are officially Rock n Roll0 -

Howdy y'all
Gentle day yesterday as it was a significant sad anniversary for me. I snoozed, ate and bumbled (great description) about until school pick up, then cooked a mighty fine roast chicken dinner...even if I do say so myself...
I even played dominoes with Tiny. His Gruffalo set, natch.
DH worked late, so I got to watch the last episode of Altered Carbon which was brilliant. I feel I'm a soul born either 500 years to early, or 300 years too late. Can't decide which lol.
My small people break up the end of next week for Easter. I've booked Small into football club camp for the whole fortnight, so just need to [STRIKE]farm out[/STRIKE] entertain Tiny.
Ooh, I did Hoover the ENTIRE ground floor yesterday. Forgot about that. *proud*
Hugs to all xxx0 -
morning :wave:
More fling bumble done in the living room last night and this morning :j - switched to a pile of DS's gibble and I've just found 95 euros :money: Good thing I'm [STRIKE]fanatical[/STRIKE] pedantic about keep/recycle/shred/bin and didn't just consign the entire envelope containing last year's travel insurance - single trip - bumph to the bin :eek:
I've put the 'diplomas' DS 'earned' whilst on holiday last year in his room - he was the 'Barbie of Benidorm' apparently
I've topped up my Mother's Day flowers with water, and I'll feed the birds and put out the recycling before I go to work.
Hope you all have a good day.
