    DD has gone away with ex (only to his parents where he's living ATM) and I'm lost already:o

    Sorting out stuff that I listed on Freecycle yesterday (9pm most "claimed" by 9.30pm :eek: ) and now about to tackle the ebay pile just for something to do. Looks like I'll be spending the night surfing ebay as I have 6 boxes to work though and still the bedrooms and kitchen to sort :rotfl: Oh well, at least I know I can just leave things lying around without DD wanting to reclaime stuff :rolleyes:

    Really not in the mood to fly at all today or at all over the next few days :confused: Mind you after a goodnight sleep (will remember to switch off my alarm :p ) I'm hoping I'll wake up slightly more energetic :rotfl:
    Creeping back in for accountability after falling off the wagon in 2016.
    Need to get back to old style in modern ways, watching the pennies and getting stuff done!

    Evening everyone.

    Not a huge amount of flying here again, managed to get 2 loads of washing done, will need to get DH to carry the basket upstairs for me to hang it up though as it was too heavy for me.

    Managed to sort out some more of my classroom, entertain DS till bedtime, and now i am pooped. Also, popped to the shop and got some choccies for the department for supporting me over the past few weeks.

    DH has cooked dinner again, although we are just doing a bacon and tomato sauce with pasta.

    House is a mess - Nursery had made baskets with the kids, and DS knocked the glitter off it all over, and i am so poopered i wasn't getting the hoover out, so it will be there now till tomorrow or Friday morning. :eek:


    Plan is to slob this evening, and then tomorrow when we have our form for the day, i will do some more classroom tidying and marking. Almost there. ;)

    Quitish day on here today.

    mudbath glad to see you survived the mini-op

    tracey - go you. also, that garden sounds a nice place. I have no commitments once we hit the 26th. I may wimp out of taking DS on a meet up though, as he is so energetic at the moment. Saying that, if you were taking DS, they would play together wouldn't they. Let's get something organised.

    right, dinner is ready. Off to eat and rest.

    Michelle, x

    Soappie – feel quite important I made your tea decision LOL hope you enjoyed it

    Tracy, thankyou for deciding for me! And I've not enjoyed it yet because it's not ready yet (we tend not to dine until nine) but is all prepped and in the oven. I made the most enormous pot of rats tails which won't all be eaten tonight, but what's left over, I can nuke up and have for tomorrow's lunch with some toast. And well done you :T for chatting to the neighbour. And I'm glad the funeral wasn't too trying.

    Mudbath - glad you're home safe - even if you are probably flying in a different sense because of the drugs :D

    Pigpen - I pre-empted other things yesterday as well and also did the bathroom and the PC area so tomorrow I get off lightly too

    Anwsmum - hope you're coping OK. You're probably going through a post traumatic stress thing after the inquest

    Hi ladies,
    Shan't be flying for a couple of days now, my son (he's 16 by the way and should really know better:rolleyes: ) just announced at 7.30 this evening.

    "oh mum, by the way can you please make me a Jedi robe by Friday"

    Bless his little cotton socks, I don't think.
    If by any stroke of luck I get it done tomorrow I'll see you all Friday.

    All have a good day tomorrow.
