    Morning, ((Hugs)) to all that need them.
    Not started my list yet, just having breakfast and doing a quick s&s in the kitchen. It was gleaming yesterday until hubby got home:mad: Wont take too much to get it sorted though. Also got my assignment all done yesterday so needs posted ASAP:rolleyes:
    Will start on list soon(ish):D
    Can use the time DD is at nursery to do most of it because i have no uni work to do til Monday, giving myself the rest of the week off.

    Morning everyone!

    Was woken up by the agency at 7.30am and when I called back, she said that she'd realised that I wouldn't be able to do cover this morning as I'm working this avo, and times wouldn't work out! :mad: Why did she not check this out before she called and woke me up?!! :confused: She didn't even appologise for waking me up! It wouldn't have been so bad if OH hadn't been watchin a DVD in bed last night til really late. :rolleyes: I've told him that he's not allowed to watch films late on a school night any more, or he can watch them in the TV room.

    Think I've worked out where I'm going this avo, and have tracked down the nearest petrol stations using petrolprices.com cos petrol is a lot cheaper in Hampshire than West Sussex for some reason. Still nearly £1/litre, but ours is over £1 now.

    I must actually make an effort to do some flying this morning, as I made a feeble attempt yesterday. First stop, breakfast, getting dressed, and then running the hoover around the flat.

    Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.

  • morning everyone.

    Tuesday is my favourite day of the week i think, as going into work later feels so good. WM has been on with charlie's wet bedding, and me and charlie have just had a lovely breakfast together and had a bit of a play.

    the best bit is charlie slept all night, and didn't wake up until after 7, so i feel a bit better. I am really looking forward to having tomorrow off work so i can catch up a bit but lets see how that works out in practice.

    Have a lovely day everyone. I need to get us ready now and then head off out. In reality that will probably take at least 40 minutes, and i want to do some work at school before my lesson at 11:15.

    Anyway, free hugs all round. See you all this evening when i won't have to do any work in the evening for a change, so i may attempt some flying instead if i am not too shattered.

    Michelle, xx

    morning all :)

    i was just catching up with the thread last night when the site went down. looks like the same is happening tonight too, so i am gonna make myself go to bed early! i am such an idiot, i sit here almost falling asleep!!

    lost 2.5lb last night so was really chuffed - that's 6lb in 2 weeks. am aiming for another 7lb by christmas but that might be a bit too hard, we'll see. last weigh in is 17th dec.

    made an appointment to have my first dress fitting with the private lady on 7th jan - much happier with that timing :)
    got to do an assembly in an hour then shopping with friend :D so better get on!

    Well, I was a lazy sod last night, but Prison break was on and Michael is just too hot to miss! Cleaned the sofa's and sprayed one with stuff.

    DS2 sick again this morning after his breakfast, so spent ages sorting him out. Just canceled the OT as he will be going back to bed if his toast stays down.

    I'm just planning on mopping the floors down here and getting some washing done, might stretch to ironing but that's it.

    so anyway... :coffee: ???
  • Ok has anyone got the best solution for giving the settee a clean. Would like to buy a new one but waiting until DD has gone paste the messy stage. Maybe in another 15 years then :lol:

    Don't like using to many chemicals as I worry about what it will do to the settee. It is only normally material not leather or anything.
