    HHI
    Start guest list for wedding

    Meet up with friends tonight to discuss making invites

    Reasonable start -will do HHI out in the sun from 4-4.30 - lots of clean but crinkled laundry sitting about - I might cheat as well and sling it in the TD on fast iron first to get the worst of the creases out (god i'm a lazy mare).

    Until then will have a little wander on here :D..................

    Ooh, forgot also cleaned out my naughties cupboard and organised it - looks like Big Gibbon has been troughing the chocs on the sly - I feel smacked legs coming on :D, especially as I am trying hard to be good so I won't look like a satin balloon on the wedding pics.

    back with my brood.. they were almost unruly ont he way home but better than they were any day yesterday.. I popped in boots for my mothers shampoo and realised I had no cash so had to use smoe points.. but my mother will give me £10 cash so that'll sort lunch money for tomorrow.. and Tiddles is staying all day at nursery tomorrow and I'll claim the £7 back as 'childcare' .. shouldn't be a problem.. plus I'll not have to rush back from college. I just realised I am going to be out all day tomorrow.. bet I end up in a beer garden on my own lol.. hohum.

    Hhhmmm.. I have a dilemma.. I lost touch a friend a few years ago.. she moved house, I moved house, I had a baby, she had a baby.. real life took over and we were no longer in walking distance of each others houses and with school runs etc we kind of fell apart.. she has just contacted me on facebook.. bit of thinking to do there!

    does anyone know when the year 11's finish school for their study leave? they wont tell DS when it is.

    Most schools don't!!!

    Ours say they have to be in school to revise between exams and just have free periods when they have completed the exams for each subject.

    Phew, outside windows washed, I even did the glass on the front door, and the communal hall door! Scorchio out there! I need to buy some suncream as I could feel my feet (in sandals) and the back of my neck burning. I hate getting sticky hands when I have to put it on thou.

    Just got time for a quick rest before the 4pm HHC starts.

    There's a lot of naughty kids today, I had a couple of drivers grump at me today. Do you think it's the weather?

    In my old school (7 years ago now!:eek:) Year 11 was studying on the school grounds. Year 12 the kids were allowed off site.

    Right off to start 4pm HHC! Ready, Steady, GO!

    but to teenagers, all us [STRIKE]old[/STRIKE] grown up people are stupied, know nothing, don't have a life, have no taste in music or fashion and are just plane embarsing. we are just here to clothe them, cook, clean and feed them, not to mention hand out all that money that they still think grows on a tree, even when they are 16. my DS asked me if he could leave home the other week to live wih his mates in a city centre appartment, when i asked how he was going to pay £200 a month for it while at college and who would do is cooking, he said he would get a job to fit in a round it and that he would cook, he can't even turn the cooker on here. :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:
    Back on MSE again! to take control of my finances and not let it control me. :T May grocery challenge £41.96/140
