Right

cream put on DD1 back
Medicine given
Read 4 stories
Mopped porch floor
Tidy dishes in kitchen
Just run bath for DD1 with bicarb in it (sure i remember someone saying its good for itchy stuff )

Just gonna take my cuppa in the bathroom while I watch the littles.

When they get out I will make the coffee cake that I have a serious craving for.

Likklegibbon - you have my sympathy on the OH front. This morning I was on the blow up bed with DD1 (again) with both littles in with me. DD2 started on she wanted a hot chocolate so he was making that and a cuppa and then DD1 wanted some vaseline for her lips and he started moaning on how he was trying to get ready for work! Yet come Saturday when i am off to work I will have to get the girls fed, dress, hair done etc as well as myself before I set off. Men - HA!!

Nicki, lovely to hear from you sounding so positive too, I wouldn't have started my degree either if it wasn't for this thread! (Sometimes, like when I have just done 2 hours of study I could curse you all :rotfl: ) Good luck!!!

AnWsMum, just tried to catch you on MSN before I go to get DS2, big hugs, it's done now which is the main part, one more step in the journey completed, go easy on yourself today x **shakes empty malteser packet** Well you could have saved me one meanie!

Well done some studying, part of the cheat in me has been focusing on the stuff I find easier and leaving DP to do the bits he's better at, so then he can help me with it (:o I didn't even install the programme right so no wonder I was all confused ) anyway, we're having to work that way as we only have one set of books, because OU have sent DPs stuff to the old house grrrrrr!! they changed his 'mailing address for correspondance' but not his 'materials despatch address' dozy berks!

AnW'sMum

*secret stash of maltesers for lil_me * thanks for the hug, really need it today. Well done on the studying, a good start made. Don't forget tehy easy bits need doing just as much as the more difficult bits. I'll be kicking around on MSN tonight no doubt.

I can't stand children telling tales!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dusty - I didn't get the shoes. I couldn't bring myself to buy them when the ones I already have do function so long as you have plastic bags on your feet as well (inside the shoe not outside). The ones I like are walking type shoes from clarks (told you Pigpen wouldn't approve) and they're gortex so very waterproof. They're £50 and my dad has given me half the money towards them. I'll try again next time i'm in town.

I bought a hideous green and black swirly mini dress. It's truly awful and cost me £3.50. Don't know if i'll be brave enough to wear it as a dress so might put a skirt underneath it. See how brave I am on the day.

TUT!!! ... I do have SOME sensibleish shoes you know.. I'm not a complete twirly!!

AND I want a pic of the dress.. I bet it is gorgeous.. I LOVE 60's/70's clothes.. damn I'm funky.. and I hope you have the necessary wig to go with it? You are supposed to wear shorts underneath it

Hi Folks,
Lunch was lovely, for pensioners but I sneaked in and it was £3.50 for two courses and a cup of tea. Saw old friends that I lost touch from when doing my masters, working full time as a teacher 35 miles away and had 4 secondary school age kids and a depressed husband who was a workaholic too. I just feel like I am getting a bit of my life back. MSE has helped us deal with the debts and the needing to work our b**ts off.

I have made my batter for my pancakes and I want to put in writing that as of midnight I am giving up alcohol for Lent. It will be difficult but I feel I need to do it. (Except our Wedding Anniversary on 18th).

Mudbath I wear the same sort of shoes as you. I have to where I live.

Right must take dog out for quick walk before it gets dark. Ta Ta!

Still to do:-
Mop floor
Bring back in all utensils and wipe down at same time
Sort fridge
Wipe down radiator
Wipe rest of skirting boards
Vac hall (3rd time today - d**n this dust)

I feel like a house-elf *sigh*
