    Thanks for the congrats everyone. I don't know when I start yet - I've got to ring up tomorrow and sort everything out. She wants me to start asap though so I'll probably end up doing both jobs for a couple of weeks.

    I've done no flying today and tomorrow I'm in school all day then work in the evening so we'll have to see how much gets done.

    Pleased to hear Matthew's so much better.

    sexymouse - glad you're feeling excited about tomorrow - you'll be great!

    Catch you all tomorrow

    DS1 has been a complete pain in the @@@ today, he wants a lighting storm McQueen thing and this is how it went today.
    DS1: Mummy i want the car, will you get me it today?
    Me: Santa will bring it for christmas if your good.
    DS1:but santa can't make it because it's to hard to make.
    Me: santa can make any toy
    DS1: but i need it now cause tom has one
    Me: you have to wait till christmas
    DS1:well i'm not your friend any more
    (laughing my head off at this stage)laughing-smiley-014.gif
    Me: i don't really care
    DS1: well tom has one
    Me: tom maybe got it for his birthday or christmas
    DS1: well he didn't
    Me:well then he's a spoilt little boy and your not
    DS1: well i'm still not your friend so there and your not the boss, daddy is and i'll ask him to get me it.
    ( still laughing with tears dripping down my face)

    Well he got home ask hubby and of course hubby said he has to wait until christmas and DS1 said "i'm not your friend anymore and your not the BOSS" screamed it.laughing-smiley-014.giflaughing-smiley-014.gif

    I know bad mother (gets a slap on the hand) but he loves to whine me up, this has been day in and out for a month now. Boy he's funny.
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
