Morning all

Tried to get on earlier but site wasnt having any of it.

Pigpen - Navy will do. I suppose i am a bit biased about the army :rolleyes:. Spent 7 years in it, dated 3 people who are still in it, went to university and made countless friends who are still in it with most of them having done 2 tours of Iraq and Afghanistan!! But one of my best friends bucked the trend and went Navy (and is a pilot!!) so i suppose that would do!!
Rach - congrats on your new house
embb - congratulations Grandma!
Tiamai_d - woooooo hooooooooooooo enjoy Christmas debt free!!!

Finish decorating the house with the Christmas decs!!!

Didn't get round to doing littleys bedroom last night - there's a surprise lol I did however hoover all 3 bedrooms and the landing whilst running a bath, then had a soak. House is fine (other than littleys room) so just dailies to do this morning and I've already done most of them. I've got family coming up for the day today so I'll be out somewhere nice for lunch (oooh get me) it's a rare occurrence so I make the most of it lol.

morning everyone.

think i will mainly be doing some school work today as otherwise i will feel no
benefit to having been off a week when i go back next week. I am trying to avoid facebook today as there is a freak from school who used to scare me then who is pestering me a bit. I keep ignoring his friend request and his messages, but he isn't taking the hint. I don't want to go as far as complaining about him, but he does scare me a bit. He used to write pornographic stories about me and be a bit of a fruit loop, and i can't be doing with it.


so far today:

• DH woke me when he crept out at 6:40
• charlie didn't wake till 7:10 - result
• got me and charlie up and ready - charlie had a bottle
• charlie dropped off at nursery
• stopped for petrol on the way back. also got a newspaper for a treat later, and some banana milk, and a loaf so i can eat something proper today
• eaten my breakfast in peace.

I really need to do these things today:

• lab plan for next week- email in
• lesson plans for next week
• review modules that need doing before xmas - 4 of them
• mark set of y9 test papers
• mark y8 books and 2 homeworks
• change our bed
• make cowboy hash in the SC for dinner
• wash up the days pots
• talk to sister again about what games to order her boyfriend and my brother for xmas, plus what we will actually buy for mum and dad. 24 more days to get it organised - so scary stuff.

things i want to do, but reallistically will delegate to the weekend

• clean living room window as it is grim
• wrap some xmas pressies

Good morning (and goodnight Denise of course)

Jue, I don't know how you have so much energy so early! It takes me until after the boys are at school to wake up properly.

Michelle that would give me the creeps aswell, if he keeps at it then I would complain.

Any spare bacon butties Aimee? Could just fancy one and have no bacon sob, might have scrambled egg instead

DS1 being lazy toad and is still laid in his bed watching tele, so won't disturb him by pulling his sheets off just yet. Ds2 gone to school, he did try moaning about anything possible to stay off because his brother was.

Need to tidy the kitchen, looks like a bomb has gone off in there, piles of paperwork, boxes with presents in I need to sort out etc etc...

Morning all

Michelle - that bloke sounds VERY strange and would definately give me the creeps:eek: .

Lil_me - the photo idea is lovely, I am sure they will look fab!

Dusty - Hope the Cava did not leave you with a headache:p

Right DD1 slept through last night and despite us trying to getting her to have today off school she was determined she was going in. Which I am really pleased that she obviously is really enjoying school. DD2 will leave her at home and see how she is monday. She was really weird in the night, no temp but kept moaning and groaning in her sleep so I only got a couple of hours sleep again (why can men sleep through these noises ).

I am gonna have a half hour challenge as really made me focus yesterday. Will put cbeebies on comp for little so may have to help her every 5 mins.

Need to get the bolognaise out of the freezer as making a mousakka for tea plus want to do some baking.

So will pop kettle on, make a coffee stick the xmas CDs in, which I have only got to listen to marys boy child by boney m 50 times so far as thats the one DD1 is obsessed with:rolleyes: .

So anyone up for half an hour challenge?? or are you lot all being good and doing your jobs already?

I'm fine thanks - just about to leave. See you all Sunday night - be good and fly your little socks off.

Right that's it. I need bacon! I'm going to go to the farm shop and get some, I have some money left from this months grocery budget and I am going there anyway so will treat myself (Ok and everyone else). I best get some rolls out of the freezer before I go.

Been having a rock morning, watching VH1 80s rock, drooling over some of my favourite men, Bon Jovi (what more can I say, I don't care if he's short), Van Halen (Oooer David Lee Roth, scrummy) , Whitesnake (David Coverdale....drools...met him when I was little) Just so annoyed that BonJovi are not playing up here on the tour next year
