    Well WM is on, S&S'd the kitchen, done the dishes. Relocated an amazing amount of crap from my living room. Most of it was hubbys(Mr 'i'm never here so the mess cant be mine':rotfl: ) LO is playing happily in her room with the new dinosaurs i bought her today. Rabbit not been cleaned out yet cos she's sleeping.
    Emailed uni to double/triple confirm my place:o I'm going to be like an excitable child for the next 10 weeks or so. Do you think hubby will let me go to freshers week:D

    Dusty before you think I am completely strange sending my children to school Xmas Eve it was actually youth club, confused myself there when I reread it.

    Poohbear well done!!! You deserve something nice happening.

    Pigpen Happy Anniversary :D

    Well I think I have turned into a dormouse, I just can't keep awake without yawning my head off and wanting to go to sleep. I've been like this for weeks now, ache all over and feeling tired ALL the time. I've ended up dozing off again this afternoon when I should have been studying. I am considering going to see my GP just incase, it's getting dangerous sometimes as I am nearly/falling asleep when I have the children to look after on my own which of course is not good.

    Right, studying again, got out of going to the club with DP thankfully
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    Nearly time to take DD to Brownies already :rolleyes: Tea was a portion of chips and sausage from the chippy :o Called into the hairdressers while I was there and made an appointment for Thursday lunch time as they had none for tomorrow :D Just going to get it chopped this time, I've given up on the idea of going blonde again until I can get rid of all this dark (almost black) brown ;) So back onto the hairdyes, but only semi-perminent this time ;)

    pigpen - Happy Anniversary!!!!! :D

    Need to go to Asda while DD is busy, but I'm only taking a small bag with me this time! So whats left on the list....

  • Hello everyone - Happy Anniversary Pigpen! Bonsibabe - sorry to hear you are having a hard time of it with resettlement - keep complaining - the moment you stop they will think they have won!
    Suziq - must be a very worrying time - hope all is progressing well with pre-op tests.
    Heavenleigh - congrats on the birth of your little girl, Johanne too in case I forgot to say that in an earlier post (even if you don't support "the Peoples Club";) )
    Poohbear - congratulations on winning the wii - I have entered loads of those competitions on the compers board, but they have only resulted in LOADS of extra spam e-mails!

    Did the living room, conservatory and hall this morning and gave a quick S&S to bathroom and kitchen. I went to Sainsburys this morning and by mistake bought the TTD strawberries for £2.99 a punnet:eek: - however they were the nicest strawberries I have ever tasted so I might have to buy more (eek! not v. moneysaving then...)

    I just wallpapered the chimney breast in the living room and today when I was doing the room there was loads of bits of dried nose picky snot on the side of it - DD2 has the most disgusting habits.....

    ((hugs)) to those in need; hope you are all having a good evening.
