Bills paid.. that was todays BIG job.. I just need an extra £400 a month coming in and we would be fine!! I might make hubby get a second job

I am just working through who else I have to pay this month.. but the loans, mortgage and utility bills are paid.. insurances come out on Monday that leaves the mobile phones.. credit card.. store card and 3 catalogues.. (8 payments in all) *sigh* best work out how to fit those into the budget!!

Then I need to find todays huge long lost...

AFTER I've drank a cuppa and S&S'd the bathrooms and kitchen and done the dailies I think..

What colour shall I have my nails painted today? They are bright pink at the moment!

oh there is a big Jay sitting in the tree right outside my window - he is on the kids slide now

Fab dusty! We have a jay that visits us and i've just seen a bullfinch which we haven't had in a while.

Kimberley - is the new oven a gas hob and electric oven. I thought they only did those high numbers on electric but like you say, they've probably changed things.

I'm not doing the list today. Just going to do bits of tidying. House is pretty clean. I've got my swap treatments in a minute so looking forward to that....not sure what to have though, i'd better decide quickly. Working this afternoon and then going to look round a local gym to see if we'll become members again. Children are stopping swimming lessons and have stopped riding so we're going to join a gym to take them swimming as we go so often it's cheaper than going to the council one.

Speak later xx

I think parent bashing should become a national passtime. Last friday schools PTA sent home 350 requests for mobile phones for fundraising using a company which rewards the pupils with really carppy prizes unless they manage to collect sufficient phones to provide everyone in India with one in which case they get a nintendo Wii.

The award for impatient parent of the week goes to the stoopid stoopid heffer who collared me at 8:50 this morning to point out that although she'd donated 50 phones to school on monday (yes 3 days ago) she'd yet to recieve her prize. She'd phoned the company who do the collection who hadn't recieved anything from school and wanted to know what the problem was and could I organise to get them off today and as they're only in Macclesfield (about an hour away) perhaps I could drop them off in person. Apparently its not very fair on the pupils to make them wait such a long time.

*runs screaming into a brick wall* not like I didn't have anyting planned today but since I'm on a coffee break please please please can I have the web cam address for ORF. Otherwise I'm going to have to brave the detritus that is the daughters bedrooms. On with the industrial thickness rubber gloves. Will open window to let out all the parps if I manage to venture that far into the room without impaling myslef on a Barbie. Why is it that Barbies have such sharp pointy toes? and why does the law of random probability dictate that when screached at at 2am by a vomit covered child thou shalt stand on not one but too of the things in the dark prior to placing your hand in a pool of vomit ?

moo2moo.. not unlike the box of DD1's bedroom gibble which I strategically threw myself at 4am last Saturday???

the last 3 mornings DD3 has come in my room to tell me has been sick in the toilet.. in it.. not on the floor or anything.. so today I snapped.. well next time do it on the floor then wake your dad up but LEAVE ME ALONE!!!!!!!!!!! AARRGGHH!!!!!!!!!! I don't ask for much.. just a tiny amount of weight loss (ie 3 stone) and a full night of unbroken sleep!!!!!!!!!!

Bogs cleans, bathroom and loo twinklng DW on so the kitchen is reasonable.. I'll finish it later.. and the TD dragged half out of the middle room.. now I am going to have my nails painted so f*** the lot of them!

Oh yeah and had a tense moment at swimming. People have this REALLY ANNOYING habit of jiust leaving their stuff in a cubicle when they're not using it Today DS left the lesson a couple of mins early as he was crying as he was too cold. So as everyone else was waiting for their child at the pool entance I was trtying to find a cubicle. DS was crying and shivering, DD1 was whining and crying, and LO was in the pram. I was trying to find a cubicle near the pool exit as I wait for my friend's daughter (long story). So I got to the end of yet another row of full cubicles. Got fed and just thought stuff it - I am going to use this full one anyway. So I start getting DS dry in it. Next thing this mother who I vaguely know from school who I'd been chatitng to at the start of the lessons comes out and gives me the filthiest look ever and says "ER those are are things in there." as if to say "you stupid idiot" or "you ignorant git". And then she stood there with her one 4 year old and watched as I gathered up the swimming bag, the crying DS, the whinging DD, and dragged them out whist pushing LO's pram. So not only did she use up a cubicle, but she then made me feel like I was the one in the wrong, gave me a filthy look, and then made us all move, and all 30 minutes after having a very nice pleasant conversation with me. I was LIVID :mad: :mad: Snotty cow. If it had been a total stranger I would have handed the stuff out to her and said "well there's your stuff then" but I just dont want to get into an argument that carries on into school from here on in. :mad: :mad: :mad: aarrrghhhh I am still fuming from it.

They do the same here. I have a bad habit of picking up the bags and placing them outside the cubicle. There are notices up everywhere telling people not to this. A few times when DH has been with us I have grabbed up the stuff and took it to lost property! One woman tried having a go and had the door slammed in her face. Then outside she was parked next to us... in a disabled space with no badge (we were in a normal space) so I made a comment about how she must have that disability 'Up Her Self'.

I need to bathe DS2, get him dressed, fix my hair, decide if I can be bothered putting make up on, go to asda.

I have a horrid headache, my sore bits are worse today, lying in bed was uncomfortable so I got little sleep, DS1 is off school today too as his voice started going and he was hot, he is now fine.

right one HHC see what I can get done.

Morning everyone.

:mad: :mad: :mad: Trying to get through to NPower. I hate the press no 1 for this and 2 for that. I want to speak to a person.

Not much flying done yet. I have been to the gym though. I did do a wash last night though and thats hung up now.

Need to dash up the street and get Mothers Day card etc. Will do that shortly as the wind is getting up here and its forecast for gales again. Woke up with a sore throat and the sniffles this morning.

Hi :hello: to any newbies. Hugs to all who need them.

Tiamai_d With you on the HHC.
