    Checked all the presents, wrapped one - the last one I have to give at New Year - god I am cr*p.

    Going to hoover now and then write a list whilst I have my lunch as to what I need to buy (still lots but I recon I am 65% of the way there nto including food).

    No you don't... School nurse said .. 'I am CRB checked and there is no way I would risk my job'.. I said.. 'How nice for you.. Ian Huntley was CRB checked as well.. and I'm so glad you are bothered about keeping your job rather than making sure children are fit and healthy..'

    I am really horrible sometimes.. lol

    :rotfl: :rotfl: bet you made her day :D Some people just do need telling sometimes!

    I'm cheering up and I've made a brew YAY!

    Socail services already go to her house I think - not sure. They may have been informed when DD1 had an object thrown at her in the street by the daughter (age 9 :eek: ) and phoned the police, they had to go and get her from work, then she pi**** off and left them alone again. Stupid thick cow!

    Oooh .. I'd be glued to the phone and on first name terms with their social worker!!!! I hate it when people do that.. there is no way I would leave even my 12 year old in the house unsupervised.. even when hubby and I go to the pub our 16 year old is in.. and if he isn't my sister is here.. or one of us.. I wouldn't even leave my 13 year old for any length of time.. maybe an hour at the most.. and she is very sensible.

    And why am I freezing????? I don't want to be freezing.. I've whizzed the heating up.. added another jumper and may just take Henry for a walk.. then caffeine and a snooze I think. Tiddles is in her nest already with a beaker of hot chocolate and a dummy and 17 eeyores!

    I need a list to focus my mind:

    Tuesday Living Room, Hall and Stairs

    Level 1
    Remove clutter from the floors, making sure stairs especially are safe
    Check fire alarms are working!!!
    Level 2
    Vacuum floors and sofas
    Dusting, even if it is around things
    Clean TV, other electricals and cabinets
    Level 3
    Wipe door handles and banister
    Move objects so dusting is more thorough, dust them before putting back
    Vacuum under furniture (only if you won't hurt yourself doing it, don't want any injuries) Just did this and purple pencil got stuck in the hoover so I have purple lines all over the wooden floor now:mad:
    Extra Mission:
    Pick one or more of the following tasks –
    • Sort through any books or magazines lying around, put them where they should be, if there is a library book due to be returned then make sure it goes back or is booked out again
    • write complaint letter now
    • box of stuff outside DS3 room
    • buy more stamps
    • finish posting cards
    • Paperwork on desk
    • Create xmas list of what left to buy
    • buy bulb fibre
    • move halifax money
    • pay in cheque
    • christmas card Mum

    I want to start feeling christmassy and really fancy going christmas shopping but think I might be dangerous in this mood. Do I go shopping or not?

    LJD1.. yes go.. you will be quite ruthless and not buy carp that people won't want.. best time to go.. plus you won't be shoved about in the manic crowds because you'll be giving off growling vibes that will ward them off!

    Thanks Pigpen....I will go with your words echoing in my head! Do not buy what I don't need, do not buy what I don't mean, buy all sorts of tatt and carp I don't need......
