G&b hope you are feeling better soon.

Well I made myself do an hours study when I got back from walking DS2 to school before I even plugged the internet thingamy in. I finally got stuck, which I knew would happen at some point as it was being too easy, mid way through question 3. So have left it now as I had studied for 1 hour and 4 minutes without a break and did get question 2 finished aswell as making the start on 3. Will go back to it later. Grrr. Will have another bash from 10.30am to 11.30am or go onto the next question and come back to it if I get annoyed with it.

Right, housework, washer filled and started, DW emptied while getting the boys sorted and that is about all I have done so far, will hang washing out before next study and slosh some stuff in the bath etc. I wiped over the desk before I started but there is no hope in me keeping it tidy as I am using 3 books etc to work on.

Good morning everyone,

Vanilla - Well done for passing your exam.

G&B - hope you are feeling better soon.

ORF operatives - Good luck with your mission!

Pigpen - If you want more (oh forgotten their proper name) the doberries for the stairs, try phoning round local scrap metal merchants (prob not the sort that take cars) DH had some in last week (but were brass plated) but they are already away (markets were up last week!) I have asked him to keep an eye out but he doesn't get them in that often.

lil_me - Hope you have a better day today.

:j got kids to school early - normally when we *have* to be somewhere at a certain time the main road gets closed off - like ds's nursery graduation :rolleyes:

So dropped DH off, drove home, DW, WM, TD ---> coffee and a quick catch up.

ok better go and get something done, see you all later.

Got in from work last night tired and aching. Looked at the posts and honestly Mudbath and Pigpen you really made me laugh. Didnt post as I realised I neeed to go to bed when my head started drooping over the computer.

Starting with todays list then a catch up with the week. Off to my vol job later.

Kazmeister Thinking of you.

We call them parrots too. "Why is there no aspirin in the jungle? The parrots eat 'em all!"

Just off to get some now - got a blinding headache.
