Lil_me, you can do a email list thingy where everyone can reply and what not and everyone on the list gets it. just to confuse you more
Well GP said that DS2 has STILL got that virus... thats oh, 3 months now? Oh and he was a little toe-rag! Ran about wild... so did DS1 (who got himself locked in the loo first and is now not going to Anchor boys for his troubles)
Oh and the conversation that went something like this...
GP 'they look like they are a handful, do you get enough help with them?'
me 'well... yeah, I guess.'
GP 'Is it just yourself in the house with them?'
me 'no! Their dad is there, but he is at work just now.'
GP 'Does he give you enough support when he is there?'
me 'of course he does! Honestly, they do usually behave' *nod head in sincerity trying to persuade myself that they do behave while making my way to the door dragging kicking screaming children behind me*
So now the GP will no doubt report me to SS for being a poor-put-upon-mother-of-two-wild-children (AKA BOINKS). :eek:
Dinner is on, I have coffee, a DVD is on for the brats, DS2 looks fine now:mad:

Tia.. I think I'd have said if I had concerns about their behaviour I would have brought them about it rather than the fact one of them is ill!!! They are boys.. they aren't nice they are full of beans and ALWAYS behave like loonies whenever and wherever you go.. unless you go see the psychologist about their behaviour in which case they are angelic!!!
We just saw a child whalloped by a car and scraped into the back of an ambulance.. That was great fun explaining that to the 6 and 5 year olds... he had smashed ALL of his front teeth out of his mouth!! oretty bloody.. poor lad!!
I've done my mothers shopping.. apparently she couldn't get parked.. and doesn't know how to use her leggies!!
I've sneaked some money out of the bank... *grin* I can go to the pub!!! WOOHOO!!
I went to the shop and scrounged some leaves for the rabbits.. and they gave me a whole little cabbage.. so that's in the pan for dinner.. a free cabbage!!! I got half a bag of savoy cabbage too so I may make a cabbage soup!.. poor starved bunnies!!

Went to the school today and they were soooo nice. Got DD registered so will have to wait and see if she gets a place. Then went to the nursery attached to the school which usually has a big waiting list, but because she's nearly four they offered her a place starting tomorrow:D I'm going to get 3 hours of peace every afternoon!!!!!!:rotfl:The trouble with the world is that the stupid are cocksure and the intelligent are full of doubt.Bertrand Russell0

Phew, I'm about done in for today!
I've finished off the odd jobs in the kitchen I left on monday. Just waiting for the last load of washing to finish, then I'll clean the WM tray, and that's all the kitchen list done!
I bought some marigolds the other day (a very fetching green pair), cos all this flying is making my hands dry and sore. They're working a treat, but kind of make me feel like Kim & Aggie off 'How clean is your house'!
I've done all the living room, apart from the dusting, which I'll leave til next time. The windows are sparkling on the inside, although the dirt on the outside is spoiling the effect. I can't clean outside at the moment thou, it's dark and raining!
The nets are all sparkling white and clean again. I've hung them back up damp, the slight weight of the water pulls them down straight so no need to iron, and they will only get chewed up in the TD!
All that's left for today is...
*Dry all washing.
*Iron it all :rolleyes:.
*Cook and eat my dinner. (Not sure what to have, something with mash I think)
*Put bedding back on bed.
*Have a shower.
Then an 8 hour shift at work!
Right, off to peel some spuds and dig in the freezer for something to go with them. I might make a start on the ironing while they're boiling away too.Debt Free as of 17/01/2009 Turtle Power!!

Hi peeps
I feel really guilty as you guys have been so busy and guess what I 've done nothing again today
I went to my mums this morning and she kept me for ages talking, then went to have haircut but when I got there the girl was on her own colouring another ladies hair and said the wait would be 40mins:eek: . Decided not to wait and go back later, took DS to the barbers down the road and had the shock of my life, normally theres a little old man in there listening to Saga on the radio who has now been replaced by a young woman who listens to Radio 1!!! Apparantly he sold up and retired a few weeks ago. We had a nice chat and she done a better job with his hair than the other one.
Went to DS school for his target setting day and waited nearly an hour cause his teacher was running behind. :rolleyes: Anyway he's doing really well, he got mainly A & B grades and he his working at his target levels, so he his expected to exceed them by the end of the year. His teacher was very good and I'm really pleased with his progress.
After that I went back to the hairdressers and got my hair cut - finally. By the time I got back it was nearly 5pm, so sorted tea out and just washed up.
I just don't know where the time has gone today.
See you later
