    I'm in again this week, hubby on sofa sleeping and DS2 watching tv. Hoping to get to level 3 for all of this week. It's really cold here today and cloudy so i'll be watching the washing line all day.

    Hello all newbies.
    Right i should make a start while everyone is quite, back later to update.
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.

    The children are back at school today so I can get the house organised without it being made a mess behind me :eek: Kitchen is easy enough - but I'm not going to open the window. It's chuffing freezing today!

    Happy Birthday hippy110.

    So far today I've

    Put on two loads of washing
    Made dough for two loaves of bread
    Started sorting out my fabric stash. On Saturday I sorted out a big storage box of paper - old school exercise books, notebooks, plain papers etc. Got rid of anything which had been used and put all the plain in one drawer so the children can use that instead of my printer paper for drawing on :mad:. All the lined paper and notebooks are in another drawer, so now I have a spare storage box I can put my 'scraps' of material in for patchwork etc.

    So now I'm off to do the kitchen and finish sorting the fabric. See you all later.

    By the way gunsandbanjos - a BSc in Maths :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:. Otherwise known as "Dead Hard Sums" :rotfl::rotfl:. Rather you than me :D. I'd love to have done something like archaeology (I know, no jobs in that) or become a librarian. I did do a proofreading course but can't get any work doing that.

    Morning all

    Quite a productive morning. So far I've got 2 loads of washing on the line. Taken the kids to school. Renewed my tax credits. Confirmed ds appointment at the hospital. Made a doctors appointment for me - my knee x-rays are finally back. Got some website work to do this morning and will attack the kitchen later. DD has a friend for tea tonight and DS has swimming so cleaning will have to fit around that.

    Have a good day

    Shell - thank you hun, muchly appreciated. I'm trying to stay positive but DH is convinced that its all in vain, and that come the end of the month we will be back in the UK no matter what he does. But he's still fighting and not going to give up without a scrap so thats the main thing.

    Right have spent the morning playing on the computer, off to get DD2 from nursery then flying. But have done a load in the WM and its drying right now so will be half done when i get back and can get on with the laundry mountain lol.

    Plus got a phone call from DD1's school, when she got off the bus she managed to walk face first into the school gate and now has a great big bruise on her face. She is so accident prone, i feel really guilty because when the school said she is okay, i burst out laughing.

    Pigpen - please give me a slap!
