    Michelle.. I think I was bit of a pain for most of them as well.. but I do like to clarify a point or 12!! I think NOT asking questions is a sign you aren't REALLY interested or don't understand.. in the first case they shouldn't be there and in the second they should say so!! I hate it when people sit there and say nothing!! BUT as we know.. I'm just odd! lol. the next meeting is 20th November so plenty of time to sleep in the mean time.. and it is in the morning so that might be better for my tiny brain. That said.. the session did overrun by an hour.. and 45 minutes of it were probably my fault! lol

    LMS.. I got a new note pad.. I did of all the things I needed to make lists for.. then I wrote 17 lists.. spanning about 40 sheets of paper.. I then gave the children a sheet each and asked for them to write a christmas list which I then stuck back in my pad.. then I wrote new lists updating my old lists.. so on and so forth.. my hubby thinks Ineed help!

    Evening folks, this is me just getting ready to fly...groan..I've only been home form work half an hour so had a cuppa and a bit read of the posts then I'm off to do the kitchen and whatever else I can manage in half an hour.
    I'm starting to suffer since the clocks changed, I just want to go to bed when I get in and can't get up in the mornings. It's not as if I'm doing any more than I ever do. It's lousy and I'm a grumpy bag when the sun goes down.

    NewmrsL, glad you've got hubby back for 3 weeks at least.
    Rach, hurrah for your interview!
    Sexymouse, sounds like a challenging first day but I'm sure you'll find your feet.
    Juliejim, I agree with the comment made before. You need lots of co-operation, that's a hell of a long working day.

    I'm going for a half hour challenge at 8 if anyone wants to play?

    Rumblytum, I work full time and this is the only way I get stuff done. I used to spend my weekends doing domestic stuff before I came on here.

    :eek: oh my god that is so me!! Are you my long lost twin!!!

    I've got a hardback notebook at the moment and it goes everywhere with me in case I think of something so that I can write it down :o.
    I've bought a big diary instead of a notebook for next year so I could disguise it from family and friends and I've already started writing notes in it :rolleyes: .

    work tops, cupboard doors, floor all washed down. Hob and grill pan done. Last nights dishes done and put away. Small appliances and windowsill wiped. Stinky cat feeding mat washed too.
    I had 2 minutes to spare so I've moved dry and wet washing round the radiators and put my 'jamas on while hot!

    I'm going to make some supper now. I'm seriously getting addicted to oxo as a drink, I've had two today. Apart from satisfying a salt craving I wonder if it's better or worse than tea?

    Catch you later if I can stay awake after 9.

    Juliejim, hope you got lots done!

    I'm back!

    I've tidied the LR floor - still haven't found the remote though!
    Dried and put away dishes
    Emptied TD and put bedding away
    Emptied WM and loaded TD
    Loaded TD
    Sorted some papers out for recycling.

    It's a start - I need to hoover the LR - in fact all the downstairs - but the hoover is upstairs in DD's bedroom so it can stay there until tomorrow. I think I'm going to do some ironing so I can stay on top of it - or shall I just go to bed? I know it's early but I'm shattered! On the other hand I seem to get more done at this time of night when DH is on a night out. I wonder if he'll be home before I go to work tomorrow seeing as I haven't seen him since yesterday morning.

    What have you done Solway? Cleared all your lists?

    Can someone please come and find my remote for me - CBeebies has gone off now and it's not my first choice of channel at the best of times!

    Jue

    You posted at the same time as me Solway!
