    Evening everyone

    Another hard day at work today the pap we've had to deal with mostly caused by a number of managers all trying to hold rank with us in the middle suffering the fallout :mad:

    OH at home tonight as on days tomorrow so cant do overtime tonight.

    Chicken curry all eaten and DS delivered to Tae Kwon Do. Just uploaded a double CD onto my mobile so I can have music and decent(ish) ring tones.

    Now need to chase DD to get sorted, bathed and in bed for 830 as back to school tomorrow.

    Kitchen list also to do so doubt I'll get time to do any of iron mountain which I did have distant thoughts about.

    Hope to catch up on all your events today later so might catch you then.

    Kitchen here I come
    Mortgage, we're getting there with the end in sight £6587 07/23, otherwise free of the debt thanks to MSE help!

    kaz - have pm'ed you

    sharon_1970 - :bdaycake: Happy birthday!!

    moo2moo - Go for it! I stayed full time at home until DS2 started school, then was offered gardening during school terms only, and really enjoyed it. I'm back teaching now, and had great support from my three to do the course.

    -nicki - I wear smart trouser suits, M&S and Principles (in the sales!), with ordinary t-shirts or blouses - not low cut! I tend to be more smartly dressed than the permanent staff, and feel it's better to be slightly smarter than not. Comfortable shoes, not too high heels, you'll be on your feet a lot. A lot depends on the school - some of them are better heated than others!

    hex - hope you feel better very soon. I must have read the thread too quickly and missed that you were not well.

    I've been far more energetic and motivated today, probably because the weather was brighter. I did the sittingroom and hall, also the accounts for March :eek: I've spent an absolute fortune!! At least I also earned a fair amount, but I wish I'd transferred more to my savings account. I took the boys into town,. and bought a pair of shoes for DS2 - Vans, he's happy. So am I, they were reduced in the sale. Then, after lunch, I finished digging over the area where I'm going to plant the hedge, and hope to get the plants in the ground tomorrow.

    Mrs Ginger.. I am very nice really..

    I'm sure you are!!! I think you deserve a medal (or at least a very large bar of Dairy Milk) for taking on the role of governor!!

    I'm not achieving very much 2nite - apart from playing on Club Penguin on behalf of DS who is saving up for an igloo upgrade and needs me to make more pizzas to get him some more coins. :confused::confused: Still - I earned 500 coins on Pizzatron. I am now regarded as a 'cool Mum' - praise indeed from a 6 year old!

    Evening All

    Hope everyone's had a good day.

    Took DS to a party straight from work so didn't get in until nearly 7 so just got the kids in bed and caught up with the thread.

    I need to put the WM on and do some ironing so that's where I'm off to now.

    Catch you later
