I've come home with 'Thursday' written on the inside of my wrist and can't remember why.

LOL at this! If I really need to remember something I always write on my hand, but it really perturbs my kids, they can't imagine that I woud have done it, so they always say "who wrote on your hand Mummy" in worried voices bless.
Did you ever find out what it was supposed to remind you about ?

lol bebee.. I know how bad they are.. I think they do IQ tests for the jobs there and give the job to the lowest scoring applicant!! I WAS thrown out.. lol.. the back door after being ushered into an 'interview room' .. I think it was like the big brother room though where you have cameras on you or one way glass and 100's of people watching you rant and rave., hope they get their brains in gear soon. I ring and the first thing I say is.. 'put me through to your supervisor!!'.. they ask what it is about and you say ' you woudn't understand it is way too complex for your little brain to comprehend!'.. or you demand to speak to an organ grinder because 'you don't speak monkey!'.. which is fine until you get through to Delhi and they take it as a racial insult!! :rofl:

Lil_me.. poor pooch.. my mother has one which was mistreated.. it is unbelievable the amount of damage some owners do.. they should have the same dome to them!!

Well, a productive evening here.

DH helped me hoover/sweep the whole of downstairs, and we have had a good put away of the toys that were cluttering up the living room and we hadn't put away all week cos we are lazy bints. :rotfl:

Then, someone knocked on the door selling a 25kg of potatoes for a fiver, so after DH had said no, i then sent him chasing up the street to get a bag, and potatoes will now feature heavily in the next few weeks meals - bargain eh - at least 15 quids worth or more at supermarket prices i reckon, although DH is very dubious we will eat them.

packed lunch for tomorrow is made, as we will be having an early start - DH needs to leave at 7:15 so i pretty much need to be ready to leave by then.

pigpen tiddles looks like a little girl rather than a baby now doesn't she - a definite change from the piccie of her aboard your ironing pile last year.

I did have more to say, but my memory is going. Must be old age. 29 in April, so is there anyone who's birthday wasn't in April or January, and does it say something about our star-sign types if we are all such obsessives about housework???


Managed to watch Martin this evening, although it kind of wasn't what i expected, and i didn't enjoy it as much as other stuff of his. Then watched the single parent programme on 5, and that persuaded me and DH we wouldn't want to voluntarily do that, and led to a bit of a maudling conversation but we quickly got over that,

Feeling knackered now - may try and go to bed, although fingers crossed i will not be awake at any time before the alarm clock - 4:30 yesterday, 5 this morning, and if i do, i am going to drag my sorry behind out of bed, and force it to do some marking or ironing. so that may persuade my brain to let me sleep.


Nighty night. God bless.
See you all tomorrow.


Michelle, x

Good news however, is that the OT is referring us for a new banister on the stairs for DS2. Who knows how long that will take though.

It took 6 weeks after I applied to S Services for mine then only took two days for mine to be fitted. I find they have changed my life as before I came downstairs in the morning and had to be helped up to bed at night. Today I actually went back upstairs this afternoon for something I had forgotten . :j

JillD, my GP now knows to read my hand or to ask what I have written as I used to go and forgot I had a reminder note in my pocket!

I did no flying at all today but have been to a funeral and also bravely sat beside my 17yr old while he drove himself to the hospital to get his dressings changed on his knee. :eek:

Pink Fairy, goodnight, for when you get chance to read this, it might take less time than you think, I was only suggesting add the living room when you do the kitchen because that was on tomorrows list but....that 5 minutes I can fit in....dining room, kitchen, utility, conservatory, living room and front hall....set a timer, you might be suprised how short a time it takes to do a 'quick' vacuum round. No bragging here either, sitting room is over 20ft each way or something stupid and the conservatory is 14ft by 12ft or something daft, I know exactly what you mean about more space=more work as I learned moving from a 2 down 3 up end terrace to a detatched house.....grrrr bloomin dog hair means I do all the downstairs at least twice daily.

You're right, it wasn't quite so long at all. Very little done yesterday because of DS's physio straight from work and not much done today as I was in Pontypridd all day, then drove to Yate to drop off a package. Tomorrow, I'm at home. I've phoned in "nearly sick". I'll be working from home, as I have no voice, so can't do my job! It'll give me the chance to catch up on a few things though. Keep the tips coming, I'll get there.

she'll always be your baby, and that is definitely allowed - forgot yours was december - see i said my memory was going.

Must be those pesky pregnancy hormones again.

lil-me just read about your DH.Bad luck there, hopefully some resting it will make a difference. It always rains doesn't it for one of us.


your earlier post about DS1 had me thinking as well. Our school day was disrupted today as we had to keep our forms, and then my y8 class had a woman from the LEA teaching them, and the autistic lad in there, who i have to say is a real trouper and doesn't normally bat an eye lid at small changes was having a real worry about it, and it made me appreciate a bit more what some of you go through with your kids on a daily basis. To me, it was quite minor.

I also had to break it to one of the autistic boys that i wasn't going to be his form tutor from April as i was going to be on mat leave, and he really was struggling to handle it, mainly because i couldn't tell him who would be his form teacher or where his form room would be. Well it is a new school building that they will be in from September. It was hard.

Anyway, not going to worry about it now, but will perhaps have a brief chat to the SENCO or his LSA about it when i see them next.

Really off to bed now.
