    :j Yeah! we are back. Can check on what I forgot to do yesterday now:o !

    Quick morning dash off to make pack ups.
  • Morning Everyone

    Well what can I say about yesterday? Ex-OH came round as it was his day off and asked me if I wanted to go and look for a xmas pressie for DS while we were both off work and he wasn't with us (didn't take much pursuading mind :rotfl: ). So we went out and came back with nothing except ideas!!! It was just so nice to get out of the house and into the freezing cold fresh air.

    So I'm playing catch up today, I've already done DS lunch for today and the dishes from last nite (really got to get out of this habit) but fell asleep on settee watching "I'm a celeb", luckily I've recorded it for DS so please don't tell me what happened ;) !!

    So today I've got to go to some shops to pick up some bits n pieces, do kitchen and whatevers on todays list (I aint looked yet).

    Going to have some breakfast, sort myself out and get to the shops before the crowds.

    Catch up with you all later

    I watched I'm a celeb too, it's not the same without the live feed on TV though.

    I've hoovered the kitchen and spare room (next to it) sorted out some rubbish for the bin then took the bin out for the bin men. Made my second cuppa for the day, shouted at teenie umpteen times to get out of bed lol and sorted littley out. Got her parents evening at tea-time, anyone else hate these things?

  • embb - I love the show and look forward to it all year (Sad i know!!) I'm not sure what I'm going to make of that american model. She scared me!! :rotfl:
    DS got a target setting day tomorrow which apparantly is like a parents evening, however he has the day off school and we got to go in at a set time, then be told his progress so far and his targets for the year. Apparantley they repeat the process sometime next year to see if he has met the targets he has been set. I just get told the same thing each time i go, that he is doing well but needs to push himself some more :rolleyes:

    So far had breakfast and shower, just need to dry hair and get out to the shops. Forgot I need to go to the tip first, got a couple of bags of rubbish in my car that have been there a few days :o

    Better get on I suppose. See you later
