Thanks boddy.. she is still flopped on the sofa burning up and looking floppy. I'll keep her home tomorrow anyway. she is lovely to have about.. lots of cuddles and she's quiet!

Junk food for tea.. I got a chicken out of the freezer but it isn't defrosted yet so that'll do tomorrow.. so we are having potato fritters, peas and fish fingers... junk food!

Hubby has gone to work for the 3rd time today and is under strict instructions to be back for 5pm as I have to go out at 5:30pm and we need hand over instructions! Yes, just like care home staff!!!

HHC anyone.. 4-4:30pm??? I need to shift off the chair!!! I don't feel like I've done anything worthwhile today!

Chicken(free range;) ) in oven, potatoes peeled, and large cup of apple juice spilled all over the floor:eek:

Why do they always wait til you're in the middle of things before they make a big mess??

This week I have got all my days confused. Not only flying days/rooms but also appointments. I have had to decide to just do what I can see needs doing and start afresh next week. Because I thought it was Thursday yesterday I complained that my veggie order hadn't been delivered and it still hasn't come today. I rang friend last night apologising for missing swimming and she tells me it is today!!

Plan for today#
HHE
27 fling in playroom
Collect items for selling on e bay
Boil wash for towels, tea towels and dish clothes
Dust lounge
DS3 to vacuum whole of upstairs for £5. Seems like a lot but there is a lot of floor clearing in boys rooms. I only have one boy at home and three messy rooms!
Look for shed on internet
Passport application

likklegibbon, thats a lovely cross stitch. I am beginning to feels a slight urge to look out my old unfinished cross stitches. I do need something to do in the evenings now that I have given up alcohol. DD wanted to know if it was wine or alcohol I had given up. I was tempted to say 'wine' then I could still drink vodka etc. but, I am attempting to be good and lose weight too.

I'll join you all - little late but I'm going now - honest.

That is so lovely - I've been tempted by that one myself but have promised I will not BUY ANYMORE CROSS STITCH ITEMS until I have completed Frenderick the LIterate, finished the Lizzie Kate's AND the quilt they will be part of AND stitched the Bronte's and Jane Austen samplers I have had waiting in the wings for oooooooooooooooo a-g-e-s!

Have bee ntrying to post a picture of my stitching but couldn't get any of the photo hosting sites to work for me :mad::mad::mad: so have opened a blog on google to post them from...see if this works...(if you click on the photos they do enlarge a bit)

Hello, I keep reading bits then slapping my own hand and restarting work. Done loads more study today, relief that what it says will take 2.5-3 hours took me 1 hour might not be as bad as I thought, actually so far it's been a bit easier than the last course, weird, expecting it to get much harder tho. For whoever asked, yes I am doing Maths degree.

Anways cleaning wise, done my bathroom, tidied my PC desk then messed it up again with study stuff got a mountain of dry laundry to put away after a marathon laundry session yesterday and the day before (took until now to dry) Vacuumed downstairs and the stairs. Done all the usual dailies. Booked Dogs both in for grooming (£30 for both!!!)

Hope you are all ok, hugs to the poorlies inc Pigpen's DD and I hope you told the school to **** (insert rude word) off. As far as the 'late' goes, I picked on this at my sons last school, it depended what mood the teacher was in/if she could be bothered to do the register/if she wanted to send the register early when it came to deciding if my son was late. As governors we decided that a late mark would only occur if the child arrived later than a specific time, not when it pleased the teacher....

I love the cross stitching, but I am not patient enough to do anything like that, nor do I have the ability to actually finish things.

I bathed the dog, he is all fluffy and smells of baby powder now. The bathroom is soaked! He jumped and made me drop the showerhead, so it landed in the bath spraying water straight up, right in my face, and over the ceiling, and over the window...but he was very good.

I have to find dinner for the kids, think it will be cereal, they has some soup earlier.
