    sorry to say, I have done nothing, as in house cleaning. I have made crispy cakes, 2 loaves of bread that didn't rise much, must be dead yeast, did a big Asda shop, talked on the phone to sister and friend and support worker at DD school, collected kids, cooked tea, and tried to get reconnected on the internet, played up all day. But cleaning, no, not one bit tidy or clean. Sorry..

    Anyone else got that weekend feeling?

    Still hanging on in there. Don't know what is going on, but it is peeving me off hanging on waiting.

    DH checked the MFI bit that had been delivered, and this one is damaged too. Will leave to him to deal with as i really can't be doing with any stress.

    denise is that the end of your first week - how did it go? You will soon get yourself into some new routines, and in the meantime don't be too hard on yourself.

    nicki well done on the weightloss and the ebay listings. Same to tia and pigpen. Don't know how you can be bothered to be honest.

    soappie we had a window made into patio doors, and it was a bit messy but not as bad as you think, apart from next door moaning that they cut through the bricks at 8am and it made their house vibrate. :rolleyes:

    chunky your poor brother, not what he needs. :mad:

    Right, evening in front of the telly i think with my feet up. DH is still a bit too stressed to have the baby yet. Work is a bit of a nightmare at the moment, but when isn't it. It's a good telly night though.

    Michelle, x

    A friend from another forum who knows I'm on a health kick has just sent me this in an email and its put me off cola for life! :eek:

    Blah, I don't like fizzy pop, I usually only drink water or tea, and for a treat fruit juice.
    I will only buy coke occasionally when I treat myself to a bottle of vodka :D

    Sharon - I'm glad to hear your DD's situation is being dealt with and hope everything is resolved! Hugs to you both.

    Oh well, meeting over so best go and start on my "assigned" tasks, preferably with a :coffee:. Night all

    I just want to say a HUGE THANK YOU to everyone who commented re the situation with DD1. I really appreciate your support.

    I have spoken to her head of year and she was not even made aware of the first incident which I reported to the deputy head so I was a bit annoyed about that. However she has taken statements from DD1 and all the witnesses this will be passed onto the other Deputy head that I spoke to yesterday and he will be getting back to me tomorrow. She said they have to let the police carry out the investigation initially. However the girl and her sister were not in school today. This is a regular occurence whenever she is involved in trouble they take a week off hoping it will be forgotten about. Also I just wanted to say that this is not a bad school. It is one of the highest rated schools in South Wales and housing in their catchment area is significantly higher than the rest of this area. So it just goes to show that it isnt just inner city schools that suffer.

    Also as if that wasn't enough I have just found out that the ATM machines at our Morrisons have all been cloning cards for the last couple of days. There was a police cordon *sp* around it earlier so I have had to ring the bank and cancel my cards and wait for a new one now.


    hugs sharon. i'm so glad this is being sorted as no-one deserves anything like this. sending massive hugs to your dd too xxxxxx

    mudbath - there's loads of support and information available for the school through the advisory service in the county.

    Phrases like Behaviour for Learning are currently fashionable.

    dusty - thank you!! PS re your DS, I bet he's sick of revision in school - they are doing so many tests in my son's school, he's really fed up with them. I've just suggested gently that he's goes through any bits of his science that he's unsure of, and left it at that.

    hex - is that your wisteria?? It's lovely!

    I already have watchers on my ebay listings and they've only been up an hour :D:rotfl:

    Need to get back to old style in modern ways, watching the pennies and getting stuff done!

    Evening evryone.

    Oooh you lot have done a lot of chatting today. Have just quickly caught up.

    Sharon-1970 Glad its getting sorted re your dd. :mad: The cloning and you having to get new cards.

    X_raphael_xx Glad the ankle isnt too bad.

    Ashbart Im not intending to set up as a practioner re EFT but will prob use it on friends and family. Did you get good results with your friend? Ive known about EFT for a few years. I have a lot of friends in alterative therapies and EFT interested me. Have seen some very good results.

    Nearly slept in for work this morning havent done that for ages. Had a phone call from my sister and cousin. They have been to see mum today and she is quite upset. Will go down tomorrow and see whats up. My DB has just rang and said they wil be here mid afternoon. That gives me plenty of time to get shopping and tidy round.

    Trying to remember what else I meant to write but its gone. So big hugs to everyone cos its nice to get a hug.

    Off to check what washing is dry before I get sorted for bed.
