Working on the kitchen and its going surprisingly well considering I have to keep stopping to go and see to DD. Did the nhsdirect self-help as I was sick of her moaning and not believing me when I said she needed to rest & drinnk plenty :rolleyes: - According to that she has "flu" symptoms, but she's also constipated which isn't helping and dehydrated :wall: She doesn't get sick by half measures :rolleyes: Looks like she might be off school tomorrow as well as her temperature is pretty stubbon ATM

There's hardly anything left in my cupboards, I thought I had much more than I have and I haven't thrown any food out :eek: I guess I might put in a big Asda order and fill the cupboards up completely so that I can come up with some more meals as at the minute I have packet mixes for pasta bakes, some pasta, rice, a tin of beans and 2 tins of tomatoes but loads of herbs and stuff like that :rolleyes::rotfl:Could really do with some tinned fruit and veg and things like that. Will have to see..... :wave:

Am a real failure at this flying lark. I still haven't started my tasks for today.
Left home at 7.45 this morning and got home about 5.00ish. Have cooked tea and washed up , and then closely marked several A level essays.
I still haven't prepared all my lessons for tomorrow, made up tomorrow's lunches or done any of my flying tasks...........

Evening all.

Mudbath good luck for tomorrow. I remember when I had my cast off (old style plaster one) my arm felt so light afterwards, it kept raising up in the air on it's own.

Off to bed in a minute and hope to sleep better than last night.

Well you obviously don't bank with Barclays!

Evening everyone

Back to work today but feeling really bleugh! Is it just post-holiday blues? I sent off a load of paperwork to Head Office by courier last week. They're supposed to photocopy it and send to our funding partners. They only sent it to the wrong partners!!!:mad: They have to recall it and send to the right place. My colleague said could we not have it sent to us to forward and I said I thought HO should sort out their own carp!!!

Johanne - big hugs to you. Please take care of yourself and the baby. (I think your MIL came from the same gene pool as mine!) Regardless of what she says, only do what you are entirely comfortable with, not just because she wants things to "look right". I hope all goes well for you.

Off for a bubble bath in the hope that I feel more like work tomorrow! Night all.
