• Cancel SKY TV after tomorrows game

poohbear - isnt the game on ITV as well? I'm assuming you're meaning the Champions League? Just to let you know, I phoned to cancel the sky sports as couple of weeks ago and they reduced the amount for 3 months. Will go back and bargain at the beginning of the new season

Ditto to Holly!! That'll be me in a couple of months

Kaz - I was going to ask last night what DoE meant, (didnt want to look thick :rolleyes: ) but its just dawned on me its possibly Duke of Edinburgh?

Well did the ironing - even the backlog of DH work shirts that I have been pretending does not exist for a couple of weeks;) . Just need to run the hoover through and all done.

Spent the afternoon playing hairdressers with DD2, then she wanted me to get in her bed while she read me a night night story - nearly fell asleep till she shook me to get the playmobile house down for her:rolleyes: .

Feel like I have been a complete pig today. To be honest I have probably eaten the same amount as I would of on a normal day before I started being good but still feel yuck about it. Maybe just a jacket spud for tea.

Think I need a cup of the hard stuff (coffee that is - maybe one will not hurt).

I am £100 down today so not pleased.

DS1 was late for school cos DH changed the alarm from 7.40am (so I could have 1 snooze) to... 8pm!!! :mad:

Took him down in the car after shouting, arguing, throwing strops etc, went back to my car and saw the back tyre was flat. Went to change it for the spare saw a huge nail in the spare! I admit, I have never checked it so must have bought the car with a nail in the spare, also it passed an MOT with that nail! :rotfl: So £100 for two new tyres.

Then went to college to hand in my bursary application, but have to go back on Thursday.

Phoned the place we got the car to attange a repair for the clutch start and the passenger window that refuses to go up or down. Still under warrenty though!

Re-named my car the Gold Digga, only last week we were £420 on new brakes!

Handed form into nursery for DS2.
Washed dishes
S&S kitchen
1 WM load

Now I am going to head to teh butcher for chicken for chicken curry, then while that's cooking, hoover and mop the floors and clean the sofas as I didn't get around to it yesterday.

Off to do some more work, then maybe a bit more flying later, but I'm up for an early night. The neighbour who woke me at 2.10am shouting was at it at 6.05am today. I knocked on her door and her response to my (I have to say the way I was feeling it was very restrained) request to remember how early it was, "Well, it's my 'ouse an I 'as ter shaht a these lot coz they've gorrer be ready fer school coz I've gorrer go ter work, an I don't smacks 'em, see? An I'm a shahter of a mornin', see?" Oh well, that's another one for the notebook for the council. They'll only ask that you keep a record of incidents, (they did with previous occupants of the same property that another neighbour complained about)

:wave: - maybe back later. x
