I was sure I'd posted in here this morning, appears my post has been lost in Cyberspace.
HAVE YOU ALL CHANGED YOUR CLOCKS??!!!
I still need to do the one in the bedroom, must not forget or we'll be late for school tomorrow.
Pollybear pleased you now know what's causing the problems with your dog, hope the treatments help her.
juliejim, my partner is the same, weekends are my main 'issue' with him as he's away most of them with his car stuff etc the boys seen him for 20 minutes yesterday and he was on the PC then so not exactly spending time with him, he'll be back well after they go to bed tonight.
nicki that's one heck of a list, good luck!! Pass some of your motivation this way please

Not made much of a start, motivation currently at ZERO! Late night, couldn't sleep, then DSs up several times then they got up at 6.45am (would have been 5.45am old time so a bit better).....so feeling very tired. I'm going to spend half hour or so on this months budget after lunch, work out bills etc, then work out a to do list, best check what didn't get done yesterday and add those too I am hoping the boys will help but that'll depend how they are feeling I think.

well I didn't go to bed.. I went to the pub and got home at 3:30am.. (before the clocks!.. or after.. I forget lol) I ate my chips in bed.. wished death on some retards who had smashed in the front of their car and were driving too fast down a busy street.. and I grassed on some d**weed who was smoking in the pub.. I being totally antismoking took great pleasure in doing that!

All in all a good evening.. the first 2 drinks went down in one.. I sang a duet in the loo.. that was hilarious.. I've not done that in years!!

Off to collect a freecycle mattress for a sprog so I best go get dressed and instruct hubby which bed to dismantle... might have to comb my witch wig too..

See you all in a bit!!

Slept in as late going to bed and couldnt sleep.. in a bad mood but wont go into why. Suffice to say im sick of selfish people and for once would like people to wake up and smell the bloomin coffee that im 38 weeks pregnant tomorrow. (By OUR dates im due today!) Theres things that i was promised 9 months ago that havent materialised by some people and other people seem to forget i MIGHT just need some of OHs time and attention too - whilst im understanding about him needing to look after his parents while they are ill...me and baby are part of his family now too so he needs to be able to be there for us too and there is more than just him in his family so they could share the responsibilities a bit more! i just feel totally fed up and wondering if anyone really gives a monkies about this baby except me and OH... as we seem to be everyones last thought and priority.

Suppose better get on with my cleaning.... i clean best when upset and stressed... therefore house will be sparkling by tonight.

Sorry for such a down post.... just needed a vent.

Speak later. xxx

MW, TD and BM on, dishes all done for now. Need to clear out kids rooms to find school uniforms for tomorrow and find school bags(don't have a clue where they are).

Right back to kitchen..

I survived Littlemeisters birthday sleepover last night - just

Last seen back on page 27 I have been busy - honest pigpen as house apart from the bin and my room was all sparkly clean for the party (its trashed now of course). Have had a computer crash and was then doing party preps so darent add up what I've spent on it and I've blown the grocery budget but I did make her monster chocolate birthday cake myself and have not even had chance to turn computer on let alone catch up.

Hope you are all ok and not in the need of massive hugs and the like but if you are :grouphug: :grouphug: .

Just having a cuppa before carrying on with the roast that we are hoping to have before my brother comes to rescue his two and then I have to try and do something with Littlemeisters floor which currently has her bed, a double mattress, 2 single mattresses and two inflatable mattresses and all the bed linen spread across them, full of party poppers, crisp wrappers, chocolate bar wrappers, biscuit crumbs, candy floss and goodness knows what else on it!

And I'm back at work tomorrow and have done NO washing this weekend and will have about 15 loads with the extra bed stuff! Think I need to get the dadmeister on board as laddomeister will be at WORK :rotfl: with grandad.

Oh and finally put Nannys ashes to rest (alongside my dear grandad) with my dad ceremoniously hoofing her casket down with his foot :rotfl: , it was sad but typical and I know Nanny would have laughed.

Prob wont get time to get back on today as if I sit down I'll crash as was still telling the partymeisters to shut up and go to sleep at 330 so bed was around 4 (normal for pigpen then ) and was up at 8 :eek:

Take care all and will see you back on next weeks thread

(((johanne)))

Don't work to hard and make yourself ill.

lil_me

Kaz, I was wondering how it'd gone, hope littlemeister had a great time and is helping you with the clear up :rotfl:

johanne ((biggest squishy hugs))

I've still not done much, I've done most of the finances parp and everything looks pretty much ok for next month however may just have jinxed myself there, somethings bound to go wrong now isn't it! I've got a list and it's so long I'm not even going to attempt typing it up and posting it!

gunsandbanjos

((Johanne)), dont try and do too much and make yourself ill. Try and rest before baby comes(easier said than done i know!)

Picked up LO from granny and grandads, just had a cuppa then starting on my hovel:D

pigpen

Johanne.. sit down.. or else!! The baby will come in her own time, those who choose not to be with you.. it is their loss!! You should be looking after yourself and not worrying about anyone else.. stuff the lot of them.. you are doing the most important job in the world at the moment.. growing that little person and don't you dare let anyone else forget it!!! There is a magic word that words wonders it goes.. 'No!' .. please use it at random and as often as necessary and I am certain that your family members checking up on you here will feel sad that you haven't asked for support, they do love you.. even if they are a bit odd soemtimes.. you should meet my family.. they make the Addams family look normal but whatever we are together. Enjoy the remaining few days of your pregnancy and whatever isn't done will simply have to wait!! ... So long as your hospital bag is done and you have food to eat and the bills are paid nothing.. and I mean nothing.. else matters a jot! big big hugs to you!!

Hubbys wages have gone in today so I've sorted this months bills, ordered DS1's phone replacement and sim, paid of... 3 things.. scottish power (for now!), the work loan!! *TADAAAA* I am VERY impressed with this as it has taken me 5 years to pay off £3000.. they weren't charging interest so it was no hurry! That releases £100 a month back into my pocket!! La Redoute is paid off.. torn up and cancelled and deleted.. and I am impressed.. the student loan is down to £800.. that is next on my list to be paid off.. that'll free up £150 a month!!! a massive amount of money!

I am now off to Spasda to buy a duvet for Tiddles and new pillows for... DD1, DS2, DD2, DS3, DD3, DD4 and DD5.. Everyone then?? ... lol all 7 need them and I need a duvet for DD3 as well.. hers has been pee'd to death. I may have to nip in Boots to.. then I can update my points.. I have £106 already and another £1350 to go on at least.. wonder where my vouchers are.. ?? I'll find those first.

The new list should be up later today... I'll do it when I get back..

I need to rush around th ehouse changing clocks as well I'm getting all confused lol..

See you all soon!!!

All the washing is dried, folded and put away. It's been a lovely day here with warm sunshine, nothing like the forecast at all! Sometimes I think the weather men would do better by just looking out of the window

Been up to The Works and got my new crossword book (and 3 other books!) and into Woollies and bought a plant for my garden pot that was empty. I've got an olive. I'm not expecting olives, I wouldn't really know what to do with them if I got them, but I'm hoping for a nice evergreen plant.

I'd love to put the vacuum round but DH is still watching television

Took the dog for a very little walk, she normally tries to race you round but she just walked very sedately and tripped over her feet a few times. I guess she still feels a bit dizzy.
