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.The trouble with the world is that the stupid are cocksure and the intelligent are full of doubt.Bertrand Russell0 -
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?!!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.

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.

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: ???0 -
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
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.
