Afternoon all

Happy Birthday Michelle.

Some snow last night and a little earlier this morning but it's all melted now. Sun is in and out but it's still cold.

One load of washing done and hung up indoors.

Monday is my kitchen day, so that's all been thoroughly wiped down, tops bottoms and fronts, all appliances too. Vacuumed right through downstairs. Dusted living room and computer desk.

And I still haven't cleaned the oven......and I'm still not going to! I am going to order the new one in the next few weeks, but I probably won't clean that either. I do the hob every time I use it and the grill (when it used to work) but I just can't make myself do the oven.

Took the dog out for her little walk, she had a long sleep after that.

Think that's all for now. Dentist tomorrow

Happy Birthday Michelle!

Hang it out in the sunshine.. it fades REALLY quickly... it should wash out at 60'.. or at least almost gone.

Be glad it was yellow.. the pink one NEVER comes off!!

Just waiting for the kitchen and hall floors to dry and then on to lunch. Really cold here so postponing trip to town but still have to do the orthod later so can do a couple of extra tasks whilst out.

Birds are really busy tidying the garden picking up lots of twigs and roots from the dug over soil

We were watching 2 magpies out the front yesterday collect roots and OH said:
'do you know which one is the female I do?'
'how do you know?'
' it's that one looking at the other saying I told you to pick up that root, no not that one the one over ther, that one is too short, no not that one it is dirty, get that one over ther'

Dusty thank you, you've turned stress tears into tears of laughter posting that, I've not laughed so much in ages, even told DP (who I rarely share things from the forum with) who said 'sounds about right' after laughing himself.

Right, stress tears, we got the CD, looked at the 2 months worth of work and asignment that's got to be in within 2 days and I cried. Me and DP then discussed it, we can't 'bodge' our way through this one as we have done in the past and need to do the work, then would be chasing our tails for the rest of the year trying to catch up, do 2 other courses and the 'normal' stuff. So I've phoned student support and withdrew us both from the course, then shouted when they said we'd only get a 60% refund explaining it's not our fluffing fault and I don't expect to be charged ANYTHING, that this happened last year, getting materials AFTER the assignments were due and I am not putting up with it again. Oh but I will keep the study materials if they don't ask for them back then we can study in advance for the January 2009 start one which we'll have to do, when we have the study break Oct-Jan :rotfl: may aswell use their muck ups to get a head start!!! Such a huge weight has been lifted, I feel like I can breathe again, felt suffocated by it all this morning. Guess we should work on the one due in on the 16th now, then start the one for the 30th....

Michelle, give them hell honey!!!
