lil_me

My feet are really hurting and my hands are starting to blister, I swear studying chaos, hectic life or not this house is staying clean and tidy!!! Well it was clean, ish, just most definately not tidy. I'm going to start on my room tomorrow, after I get that implant thing shoved in my arm, finish it on Wednesday hopefully. Then that'll be most of the unpacking finished I think.

DPs gone out leaving the PC on and all the windows open in the conservatory which means because I am a short I am going to have to clamber on the sofas to close them. Getting a little chilly now. Has been glorious today however, walked to the school without even a coat on. Managed to get a washer load dry OUTSIDE! Wouldn't think this time last week we had snow.......

vivw we drove home with one through the sun roof on the old car :rotfl: have you got any friends/family who bring a work van home on a weekend?

Right, think I will start to prepare dinner then kick double trouble into bed, something we've skipped with the visit, DP having to go out and having arranged someone collecting something he's selling (:D @ selling another toy, but as he's got his eye on more, never learn will he?) mean we're eating about 9pm ish.

25% off Chester Zoo at lastminute.com (hope this link works - first time I've done it like this)! We got a 2 for 1 voucher for Chester Zoo only about 6 weeks ago but can't seem to find it now. I think it was through UK attractions but the offers aren't on their website anymore.
Edit: Don't think its working - try this: http://www.lastminute.com/site/entertainment/daysout/event-product.html?eventID=470785346-1&catID=95187

Cheers for that luby lou xx

As some of you may recall, there was the bizarre phone call yesterday about someone who'd died but then suddenly hadn't. Well, he's still hanging on by a thread it seems and consultants have apologised profusely to the family for the premature pronouncement of death. This situation is sad but he is in his 70s and has had a good life.

I've just been dealt a bit of a side-winder and am having to sniff back a tear or two. I've just received word that one of the Royal Marines who was killed in Afghanistan yesterday was a young lad I knew and who I had a lot of time and respect for. He was a credit to the yoof of today and was so capable he should have gone far.....

I think I need to go and find a G&T......

I need the boxes out from under the bed before I can dismantle it

I need sll this ebay stuff sorting through... I don't mind doing the listings but I do mind doing all the sorting... 11 boxes is a bit much!
