I can see why your view is clouded pigpen, all i was saying is that they are not all bad:o

lil_me

Morning, AnWsMum and nicki, thinking of you both x Daffy's back out (son named that one) it's one of those pretty ones with lots of petals, but not too many, see how technical I am with the names of flowers!

Bother!!!!! I'm so keen on paying the cards off that I have OVERPAID by £84 something ARGH!!! Somehow I missed putting a payment on the snowball thing, so that minus the interest charged leaves the £84 overpaid. I am now wondering if they will just refund it, we do need a couple of things like new calculators for our course, maybe some sort of washing line as the one I have is old, nasty and ready to snap aswell as being in the wrong place, but nothing I can think of that will cost that much. See the old me would have bought something for the heck of it, now I'm as tight as a kippers bum hole.

Washers on second load, I put one on the line but we now have grey clouds, just my luck! DW filled inc last nights plates I left on the bench

Day goes something like this from now, pay bills online (and don't overpay anything else!) study time, Tesco at about 1pm, collect some freecycle things for Matthew's Grandma at 2pm, back to post office on way to collecting DS2 from school, dinner, swimming, washer back on when back from swimming, more study, collapse in a heap!

Somewhere in the middle of that need to put the massive pile of laundry away, vacuum through downstairs, see to dogs stuff/walkies, wipe kitchen over etc so I suppose as it's already lunch time (did scrambled egg on muffins for brekkie/dinner combo, yummy!) I best get a wriggle on.

Pigpen I will have a think about the PM and send you one back later, will find DS2s reports etc.

Lil_me.. thanks! He isn't there until the 17th so no hurry...

GnB.. I know.. I was just explaining why I am so down on them.. the neonatal consultant we had at Leeds was fabulous.. saved DS2's life.. TWICE within 3 hours! If I had any more children (which due to internal damage from surgery is most unlikely.. especially now I am supposedly menopausal as well!!) I'd go to Leeds.. there is no way I'd have a baby in the hospital here.

Tiddles collected.. lunch just doing.. oooh sounds like post! I am waiting on 2 ebay payments!

pigpen

ooh.. I've just received a physiotherapy appointment for JB.. I didn't know I was waiting for one.. where did that come from????? PMSL.. it is in the same place as the OT appointment for DS2.. so I have

17th Ot with DS2
18th Growth review with DS2
19th physio with Jb..

I may have to start claiming back travel expenses!!!

pigpen

ARGH.. another meeting .. this time 13th.. right after parents evening at school!!

and a postal order.. I don't know who from or what for.. why are people so thick?

Did sweet FA yesterday! So I had to catch up today. I've decided the wiping of paintwork is going to be a once a month job for me.

Have no major jobs to do today, apart from the usual sweeping of the lounge/hallway/kitchen floors as the children seem to get crumbs all over the place!

I'll check in later to see how it all went for AnW'smum, other than that, I'll see you all tomorrow. Childrens' rooms - oh what joy!

pigpen

Had another flinging session... a carrier of clothes for nursery and a carrier of dressing up stuff.. and a carrier for recycling.. and a few more bits for charity shop.. started a new binbag for there. My middle room, if I bothered to find the floor under the scrappy bits would look amazingly empty.. I may get the shovel out of the shed and shovel it into a box.. lol...

Anyone know where the pirate top and the knights top have gone?.. Oh.. and the spiderman trousers!

I know you are all watching out for it so.. AnW'smums latest HERE..

AnWsmum.. it'll soon be over babes.. and I'll be grey and have wrinkles.. (((hugs))) for you all.. stay strong and we are all right there with you, in our yellow underwear and cardies and wearing our flowers!!!!

Have just been on my first "wedding dress" look round - have seen one I like, but it's a bridesmaids dress instead and a two piece so I could wear the top again with jeans on a night out!!!

I must admit tho', I seem to be missing the "dressie-up bride gene" - couldn't even bear to look at the 'proper' dresses - will have to go somewhere different to look next week with a different [STRIKE]victim[/STRIKE] willing volunteer

Must try to grab a quick nap before night shift, tho I can't switch my brain off. Oh drat, uniforms still in TD - better go i**n it

Hugs to AnW'smum and Nicki - will drop by again later x
