Morning Flyladies

Sharon I hope you get some results today hugs for your poor DD
Soappie the sun is coming out in your street

Serena DS1 is 14 in Year 9. It is KS3 sats he is doing. I am sure he will do well but he is taking half of his GCSE's next year (something his school have introduced to deal with what they call Yr9/10 dip) so I wanted him to revise to practise sticking to a revision table for next year. I've decided to leave him to it now (not in a nasty way) but like Lil-me said maybe I'm making it worse.

DS2 is off sick - temp and aching (I think form hurdling) and full of cold. Poor child was on for 100% attendance and is missing a maths challenge which he wanted to take part in but he is in bed.

Plan for today -

Tidy kitchen and do the drawer
Pus WM on
Living room - hoover sofas
wet wipe
hoover stairs
Family room - needs all day really
Post office
Food shop
online orders

No after school stuff today - yippeeeeeeeeeeeeee

MANY apologies.. but todays list is now up.. and just for good measure.. so is tomorrows!!

I have Tiddles at home until Tuesday and have a meeting at 6:30 tonight so it is chaos again in here.. I am bunging a film on for Tiddles and zipping off to get at least 1 coat of paint on in the boys room.. hopefully I'll get 2 on though and a licking on the skirting! I do have a weekend list which I'll get on tomorrow night in between flapping about like a goon!!

DD1 nicked my pc last night.. I got on long enough to get kicked off again!! She was doing coursework.. then DS1 nicked it too.. I wouldn't mind but they both have their own!!

I am aiming to get a good pile of this junk on ebay today.. but what doesn't get listed won't and I might well just fling it in a bag and send it to charity shop... I am feeling that way out!

I only have 1 stair in my house, from the corridor down into the kitchen, I have just slid on the mat & fallen down that one single step :mad:
I think I have twisted my ankle, luckily I already had an icepack chilling in the freezer. But now I feel sick and dizzy, and I'm getting pins & needles in my toes.

God all I want to do is go to bed!!

Builder is making good progress, ceiling is done, he's just finishing off the wall. Not long now hopefully.
Whites are now in TD, nets back up and darks in the WM.

Morning ladies - hope everyone is doing well today!

lil_me - thanks for the website! I will be having a look at it today. I must sort myself out!

Big Hugs to PinkFairy, soappie, Vampire Addiction, chunky79, and anyone else who needs them.

Thanks to Chasing Butterflies & tiamai_d for the strawberry tips! Just a quick question - what are the hulls? Please be gentle and don't laugh!

Boddy - re: EFT - My mum and auntie own a hypnotherapy practice in the US and they use EFT a lot. They introduced it to me while visiting and I'm hooked. It is amazing! I have studied and read up on it for weeks and worked on a friend last night. Do you practice? How did you find out about it?

Glad to hear you're resting Michelle - sending you *baby hurry up* vibes!

Sharon_1970 - Hope your DD is ok. You've done the right thing. I can't believe the school didn't look into it. I hope the police deal with it sooner rather than later.

Hippy10 - EFT session went well, thanks! I was practicing on someone else. EFT should work even if you don't believe in it. The only time it won't work is when you don't address the root to the problem (which may not be related). I would definitely recommend trying another session and make sure you tell the practitioner anything that comes into your mind - even if it isn't related at all. Some people practice EFT over the phone so, you don't have to go far!

Ok, I suppose I need to go and get my list sorted for today. :rolleyes:

First things first:

Call & book photographer for wedding
Book appt for this weekend at Wedding dress shop for bridesmaid
Get a picture of the cake on internet and send to MIL to be

You dont have to post anything, usually for the first month it is recommended you just keep your receipts so you have an accurate idea of what you spend right now. Then set yourself a new lower target for next month. Its all about getting your spends down to a level that is comfortable and affordable for you. No-one on the thread will judge you for what you spend. Everyone has different targets and circumstances. I like to follow the thread as i get loads of good ideas from it, but you could just lurk if you wanted HTH

I go on the GC thread and have been waaaaayyyyy over for the past few months . I'm doing a storecupboard challenge this month to try and rein in my spending.

Thanks for the list Pigpen - just what I needed :rotfl:

Sharon - That is shocking - although it sounds like you are ready to sort them out

Soappie - Glad you are feeling better.

ok well *almost* 2 months after I ordered it I now have lino in the kitchen AND utility room :rolleyes: I feel so dissapointed that a/ it has taken so long and b/ the lino infront of the fridge looks really bad we had to keep pulling everytime they were supposed to be coming with the right size...

Morning alll

Well its been a hectic time here. Couldn't sleep from worrying. Eldest daughter got punched in the face by a girl at school a couple of weeks ago. My DD didn't retaliate in any way. Anyway I rang the school and they said they would action it. They didn't come back to me. This other girl is a known trouble maker there isnt a week goes by when she isn't involved with at least one fight. Well last night she attacked my daughter again. This time on the bus on the way home she punched her in the face four times. She has a lovely black eye (my DD is 13). Well I had enough because obviously the school aren't doing enough to deal with this other girl, in my opinion she should have been excluded a long time ago. I have therefore contacted the police and they are now dealing with it. They said it is common assault. Funnily enough they even knew exactly where the girl lived and who her parents were. Sounds like there is a history there. Anyway I am hoping something happens this time. I am also going to go into the school this morning and stamp my feet a bit I think.

what a little b1tch!

Hope you go in to the school and get them told! Good luck! :T
