    Did you bet against Bournemouth then? :D

    I went to the match as I've just started working for Opta Sports as an analyst and they gave me this fixture. Lovely club that really look after people there. I'll be down there again this Saturday for the West Brom game too hopefully.

    No, it was on one of Saturdays games :D I thought we did really well in the first half last week, but my prediction for the result was spot-on so no surprises.

    Hopefully 3 points today but we do have a tendency to slip up in the so called easier games.

    Today we are going to ds train club, then some revision as he has exams this week, a bit of footie watching via the sofa then I'm out for a friends 40th tonight and ds is staying at Mums.

    I have a few other bit and pieces to fit in today too but nothing too tricky :) Swagbucks goal has been reached already too :T

    So this week has been long and tiring, a member of our team is signed off and I'm picking up quite a bit of her work. We also had parents evening this week and I came home shattered.

    The next night I came home to the best surprise of my life ... ds had noticed I was tired and had decided to come home from school and tidy the house for me :j :j He'd tidied through, emptied and reloaded the dishwasher and hoovered :T :T :T

    I was so so happy and it's still making me smile :D:D It's also made my saturday morning house list much quicker and easier this week, so I have so far managed to clean the bathroom, clean the downstairs loo, clean the hall, tidy the lounge, tidy my bedroom, filled the dishwasher and it's doing it's thing, second load of washing is in, windows are open in every room and there is very fresh air coming in :D

    Still to be housework wise: finish clearing the washing mountain, hoover through, clean the conservatory, clear the paperwork pile, clean the kitchen. I also want to empty the junk out of the car, fill the windscreen washer thing, go to the Post Office and do my Super 6 :D

    Hopefully 3 points today but we do have a tendency to slip up in the so called easier games.

    And very nearly did again. Awful first 70 minutes then Ibe's goal went in, the crowd really got behind them and bang, Stanislas smashes in a free kick.

    Still, a 2-1 win is a 2-1 win, no matter how it goes. :T

    Yep definitely not a classic, but three points is what matters. Last week we played great and got nothing, this week we were poor and won :cool:

    So today has been a very lazy day - last night a friend came back after our night out and left at 4 this morning. I am so tired now, ds came home and woke me up at about 8.30, so very little sleep was had :eek:

    I have managed a nap on the sofa but I still haven't got dressed yet. It was looking like a surefire snow day tomorrow but the snow has melted quite a bit and we've had a text to say at the moment they're planning on opening school unless we get significant snow tonight. Best snow dance moves being prepared in our house right now ;)
