Hi all,
A fell at school today and hurt her knee. I had to go and get her and take her to minor injuries so left work at 11am. It was lucky as I was only doing audit work today, but I'm going to have to find time to do it next week. No seriuos damage to A's knee just bruised so relieved about that too. Got a day off tomorrow with H as she has another inset day, looking forward to that.
Glad the interviews are going well sparkling. The flooding sounds awful. We've missed most of it here thankfully.
How is C hazeleyes? It must be awful to suffer with migraines at such a young age.
Pq, so pleased that A's injury wasn't too serious. Can you do the work from home tomorrow, or is it something that can only be done at work? Have a great day with H. Will A be off now too?
C's headaches are a worry, but there's not much I can do really, other than what we're already doing. He had a slight one at school, was wearing his glasses, (as now told him to wear just for reading) so, he took them off immediately. I used to be on tablets for mine, so in three weeks, and depending on how many times he's getting them, I might suggest some sort of meds for him. If they don't work, then think of something else.
Floods sound terrible Sparkling, and obviously effecting the workers. Hope your son makes it home.
Terrible winds here, and the rain was lashing down earlier. A horrid, dismal day for everyone I'm guessing.
Good morning everyone and here is hoping for a better day
Sparkling I was thinking of you yesterday and wondering about the floods. You are right not to worry about the insomnia...what about the teeth clenching...do you do it when you are awake? If you do, it is worth setting up a system where something beeps quite regularly (mobile phone? clock? kitchen timer?) and keep reminding yourself. If you imagine you are blowing out candles on a birthday cake then not only are you doing a really big EXHALE but also the way you have to have your mouth, you have to unclench. Hope your son got home safely.
Hazeleyes, it is hard when C has ongoing health things. My youngest had migraines over about a year. He would have to be in the dark then would eventually be sick and feel ok again. I have to say that I soon realised that they were made worse by him being on the computer too long (playing a certain wargame) He grew out of them after a while but anyway I did ask the GP and he said "oh we don't tend to give migraine meds to children" and basically said there was nothing he could do. Now I know your GP is more thorough than most but just to tip you the wink. Did you have a better night yourself?
PQ ohhh such a worry when they have accidents, I bet your heart sank. Do hope you enjoy your day at home with H, are you doing anything special?
Anna, I took your advice. Cup of tea at 6 then a drink of lemon at 8 and managed to get up only once in the night. I have realised that I go to the loo just because I am awake, so last night every time I woke up I made myself settle again. The reason I wake up so much is hot flushes. I wish it would get colder at night! (winning the award for Least Popular Person in the Chatroom now!
)
Well I am going to a Thanksgiving buffet party tonight, given by an American friend. Everyone has to take something so with Baldrick-like cunning I got in first on the list and offered to get some lovely fresh bread from the bakery (no cooking, Louise 
) so I am off there shortly as soon as it opens.
Massage was lovely. Youngest is off to Newcastle for the weekend. Eldest is in bed with that Norovirus, but at his house, not here. He is doing ok and does not require my nursing services, thankfully.
When I know I'm clenching my teeth, I put my tongue in the way - at the front of my mouth. It hurts then... 
It works! My colleague and I have been discussing forgetfulness etc, and it is because of the quantity of things we're coping with at work.
Yesterday boss who needs a thump has told me I won't have a desk as I'm hardly there! I've downloaded all the stuff I might need onto a memory stick and will put that onto my laptop. I'll just take the laptop in with me when I go to do work then. I'll be deleting stuff on "my" computer too. Silly bits and pieces that have built up over time.
I'm moidering...
It's anice morning here, but such a lot of rain forecasted for over the weekend.
Glad you enjoyed your massage, and enjoy the buffet tonight Louise.
How's A this morning pq?
Hazeleyes - it's Friday!!!!
A is fine today. Knee slightly swollen and stiff but she can walk without limping. I've packed her off to school with a note to get out of PE, which she was dead chuffed with. Having a quiet day with H. She's into NERF guns at the moment so we have been watching clips of NERF gun action on you tube !! Having a new floor laid in the kitchen later which will be the final part of the work, had to spread out the final bits as I ran out of money! It will be completely finished then 
Still not sleeping well and had a very strange dream about ex moving back home 
not in a nice way either so woke from that in a bit of a cold sweat.
Sparkling, are you getting ready to build an ark yet?
Hope everyone else is well and has that friday feeling
Hello and happy Saturday to you all!
PQ I have such crazy dreams, sorry you were unnerved by yours. But WOW I am delighted to hear about your kitchen floor, the last bit after all the upheaval and hard work ooh I don't like the look of Nerf guns, eek.
Sparkling it will be a big change for you with work and I know your emotional attachment to it. I was listening to a report on the radio from your neck of the woods about flooding yesterday. Hope you don't get too much rain over the weekend.
Hazleyes how are you? Hopeful? Kiera? Looby?
I improved my sleep last night by discarding my (summer) quilt and reinstating a cotton throw as my bedcover The "buffet" last night was in fact a turkey dinner! The kitchen was massive and gleaming, like in a showhome, and one of the ladies was in a chef's outfit and you went along the line and helped yourself, there were things I had never seen before like corn pudding and green bean stew. I met a few new people too, which was nice.
Wonder how youngest is getting on at Newcastle? (shudders in slippers) When I dropped him at the station I said "Enjoy yourself and BE GOOD" He said "I think that's pretty unlikely mum" so I added "Ok then, please try not to get arrested or get One Of Those Diseases" Parenthood seems to throw up lots of new challenges, however old they get!
NERF guns aren't my favourite either, but they are all the rage at the moment, H being a bit of a tomboy is totally enthralled.
I shudder at the thought of parenting at that stage louise, you seem such a cool cucumber about it all, its great you're here to share your wisdom
Another parkrun completed, and the rain held off which was a bonus, although it was rather chilly! Hope I've shaved a bit more off my time again.
Got my 2 ex Sil's coming round for dinner tonight, going to cook that prawn and squid dish again as its really quick and easy, it also looks a bit fancy so gives me chance to show off a bit Having been told for years that I'm hopeless in the kitchen it feels good to spread my wings a bit.
Hope everyone has a lovely weekend
Such a shame, but the girl we offered the job too didn't accept as the pay isn't good enough. It would have been great with her in the office...
I can't see me doing hour I should be doing this side of Christmas really. Can't really afford to up the wages, as it would mean my colleague would have her wages increased too...
Ho hum...
Hello all. Yeahhhhh, it's the weekend. Pouring down, but I don't care!
Louise, your evening sounded lovely, and quite posh! Hope eldest is feeling better, and youngest has a great time in Newcastle. No arrests or diseases guaranteed I'm sure.
Hi to everyone else using the chatroom.
I've been frantically trying to find stuff on net, to help lower children for the observation day. They have to be seen to be working independantly, which will prove difficult for my table, so I'm writing things down to help them in some way, without having to ask for help (that's the plan anyway!) Am sure things will run smoothly, but not holding my breath yet.
hi really cold today, last nyt ad mate round. watched wrong turn4, ad couple glasses champagne, ad gud nyt, stayin in today,spendin tym with mi son, not seen him all week,xx
Kiera I know you like champagne, maybe we will start calling you Marilyn Monroe
Good luck in your search, Hazeleyes. What independent work do the children have to do?
PQ my boys would both have loved those guns! Ah yes, your squid, they will think they are on Come Dine with Me
What a shame about that girl, sparkling. It sounds as if you feel it is really hard to get a satisfactory solution to what is going on.
Thick fog all day here. The roads are unbelievable as there are four local events going on at the same time...and some bright spark has decided to do roadworks. Yesterday teatime it took me 50 mins to to a 15 min journey.
TV night tonight: Strictly, XFactor and Jungle. Youngest has texted so he is still at large, phew 
What a grey day, has not stopped raining, so dark and miserable here.
Louise, the children should know about connectives, verbs etc, and be able to discuss a topic between themselves, but on my table, they just don't. They should be able to make notes, and then use those notes, plan everything out, using WOW words, openers, paragraphs, basically, everything. Most of the things are somewhere on the wall, but again, they want me to do it for them. I have written out exactly what verbs, adjectives, pronouns, nouns, imperative verbs, adverbs, hi-lighted them, and given examples, so hopefully, this will help during the observation. The idea is, they SHOULD then be able to do it in a group, and on their own. Half the time, they don't use punctuation either!!
Had a quiet day here really. Worked on homework, yeahhh, I've done loads of washing, watched some stuff with C, and now I'm dead on my feet. Didn't sleep well at all last night. Awake at 1.30, watching TV until 6 ish, then awake again at 8.30. It's a nightmare really. No wonder I can't function properly.
Good morning all. Not sure if today will be a good one, as of course it's the dreaded Sunday!! On top of that, it's the dreaded H word. Good luck with yours Pq hehe. Actually C has done most of it, so only a bit to do. I've got loads waiting in the wings for me, so will tackle the ironing first, ggrrrr.
Very blustery here. Think I'd rather have the rain, as this wind causes all sorts of damage.
What's everyone's plans for today?
Good morning everyone
Hazeleyes any chance you had a better sleep?
That seems pretty complicated what the children are expected to do, sounds as if you have been pretty thorough. Hope the H isn't too much problem today, nor the I (ironing heh heh)
Bit of a disaster here. I had gone to bed but just before I switched out the light I (luckily) went to check the clock on the boiler as it keeps losing a lot of time and I thought I had better alter it. Opened cupboard where boiler is....gushing water! Turned off stopcock and drained taps and rang British Gas, luckily I have a Homecare agreement thing with them so they will come today. In the meantime I have no water. Again luckily, I had two large bottles of spring water (bought them when the water company was doing some upgrades this summer and told us there was a chance of occasionally having no water) On the shelf beneath the boiler were all my sheets and towels, most are wet so I have put them in the unusable shower and will await normal service so I can wash them all. Thank heavens youngest is away, the moaning and groaning would have been worse than having no water!!!!!!!!!
Awww Louise, I do hope they come early, and sort it out. It's an extremely good job that you checked it. I'm so impressed that you did all of that, stopcock and draining taps. I'd have no idea whatsoever. Don't even know where the stopcock is, let alone anything else
What time is youngest coming back? Let's hope it's later, rather than sooner. He'll probably want a shower the minute he gets in the door
Oh no louise thats a nightmare! I'm like hazeleyes, don't think I'd know what to do. I let my british gas homecare go last year as I was making cut backs, but having heard your story I think I might reinstate it.
My weekend hasn't quite gone according to plan. H has been ill with a tummy bug so spent most of the day looking after her. The girls were supposed to be with their dad today but he's cancelled as he's ill too. So I've had to cancel my plans which I'm disappointed about. I wonder if he would cancel his arrangements if I get ill, doubt it somehow. Had a good night last night, the squid went down well, I too had a couple of glasses of champagne kiera, very nice . H is much better now and has had some pancakes for breakfast. The sun is shining but its very windy.
Hope your sunday goes well this week hazeleyes, the H hasn't been done here but I've changed tack with it now, I just remind A it needs doing and ask her when she intends to do it and I leave it up to her,so far she's done it on time and I'm not stressed.
Who sings that song 'here we go again?' Conversation went like this.
C 'can I go on the playstation?'
me 'Do some of your homework, you only have a bit to do, then you can go on it. That sounds like a plan doesn't it?'
C 'I've only just got up' (hour and half ago)
me 'like I said, if you do the homework now, then you can go on the playstation'
Out of the room he goes, in a huff, saying stuff under his breathe. I ignore, within 5 mins he's sat at his desk. Is this progress I wonder? I'm sure he'll be back in soon, saying, 'can I have a break, and go on the ps for 10 mins!' I'll wait and see, hopefully I'm wrong.
Ironing finished, so dusting and hoovering next 
Sounds like progress to me, well done you .
That sounds good for the homework with both households. That muttering, Hazeleyes...oh yes I remember it well. Deep breaths and stay calm!
Pq I am sorry your youngest has been poorly, fingers crossed that you and A won't get it, there is a mega bug going round at the moment, my eldest was sent home from work the other day.
Stopcocks, usually under the sink, have a look here for some info, seems a helpful page. As for boiler insurance, I nearly stopped mine, glad I didnt, but lots of people offer it nowadays , see Martyn Lewis on the subject here
Well am still waiting. Youngest not back until Monday night, thankfully.
I hope you don't have to wait too long louise. Thanks for the links, will check them out later
Hope they sort it quickly Louise.
All running smoothly and quietly here. No kick offs, homework was done, hey presto. I was busy cleaning, hanging curtains etc, when a lovely friend phoned. That's put paid to my housework now, once I stopped, didn't want to carry on
We had a lovely chat, and she has suggested a tonic called Metatone. She's made me promise to buy some So, having dinner now, only sausages, but delicious. Have also made chicken curry for tomorrow night, and mince for Tuesday, so that is great guns for me. As most important chores are out of the way, and C was near on perfect with homework, I shall give him a game later. Won't tell him just yet though. He's had a bad head too, so that is nearly gone now.
Hope you're all having a good day. Pq, how's H doing now? Better I hope.
Sparkling, any news your end?
Thankyou for the link Louise, will check that out. Hope you're not waiting too long before there's water again.
H is much better thanks hazeleyes. She's playing a NERF war with A and her friend. I'm hiding in the kitchen watching Him and Her on iplayer, does anyone else watch it, I think its hilarious
I've done the ironing and cleared up the kitchen...wonder if I could sneak in a cheeky kittle nap 
Ooh I have never seen Him and Her, what channel is it on? Glad H is better.
Engineer just gone, phew. A plastic part within the boiler has split. A new one has to be fitted tomorrow. In the meantime I have central heating and cold water, but no hot. Can't face a cold shower so will be taking the kettle upstairs for a top to toe wash shortly, and then another in the morning. Washing machine on with the first of three loads of wet towels.
You have done well with all the chores, Hazeleyes and hats off to you for cooking ahead
Hi louise, its on BBC3. Glad the boiler is working again, all be it without hot water, but at least the house is warm. My friend told me about bucket baths. You sit in the bath with a bucket of warm water and a jug and wash that way. She's indian and this was the way they bathed when she was a child as they didn't have much water. I've tried it when we had no hot water, its quiet good.
Just starting dinner, roast chicken drumsticks for us tonight.
I watched Him and Her the other night Pq, absolutely hilarious I have to agree. Last night, we watched Not Going Out, on Dave channel. Do you watch that one?
Glad you have heating, and at least cold water Louise. Tomorrow, it'll be as good as new.
Have played Simpsons game with C, now we've both bathed etc, I've told him I'll play Harry Potter on the playstation (me and my big mouth, hehe) That will take me to his sandwich time, then I'm off to bed. Been a busy day, and a busy week ahead.
Made ommlettes all round here this evening - well not oldest as goodness knows where he is (could be working until 6pm), and fussy youngest who has had chicken dippers and a waffle.
My Mum would swear by Metatone hazeleyes! She'd buy it for me if she thought I was run down. It sounds as if you got loads done though.
I should be seeing my aunty tomorrow morning, but the weather forecast is not so good. I shall see what she says later when she phones up.
Have had itchy pets here, so a mega bathing, spraying hoovering afternoon. Apparently instead of things going quiet on the flea front as its winter things are going mega chaotic. Anyhow, pets seemed to have stopped itching, otherwise they'll be sleeping in the garage.
Went into work yesterday as I didn't get a chance to do an invoice. I've brought the unsuccessful CVs home to send emails from here. Otherwise they'll never get done.
Hopefully someone we liked will say yes to the job, otherwise I'm not sure what will happen.
Feel so sorry for all those going through all these awful floods.
louise luked wot appened to marilyn monroe lolx
Good morning everyone 
Ooh kiera I only meant champers was glamorous. Maybe not Marilyn then? seriously who would you like to be like....who is your role model?
PQ that is great idea with the bucket bath (but I don't have a bath, we have a walk-in shower, I was too much a wimp to have a cold one) I will have a look at that programme, thanks for the tip-off. Hope the girls are both fit and well and ok for school?
Hazeleyes your Sunday worked out better than you thought, that is good. Fingers crossed for the observation. How is C doing?
Sparkling hope the weather is not too bad for you today. Hope you get to see your auntie. EEEK fleas, that sounds like a major operation. Hope you got the emails done.
Well youngest will be home tonight. Today I am doing errands (bank, Asda, trying to hire a little oil heater to put into damp smelly airing cupboard), awaiting engineer then later I am going to a tea party..one of the counsellors is leaving where I volunteer so we are having a little do for him at a cafe in the town.
Morning all,
Itchy pets are a nightmare sparkling, we had a flea infestation a couple of years ago, they were everywhere, in the carpet and sofa, took me ages to get rid of them. Hope they are all scratch free today.
Good luck with the observation this week hazeleyes, do you know when it will be?
Have a good day louise, I hope you get the heater sorted, its a bad time of year to be trying to dry things out. Hope you enjoy your teaparty.
I sent 2 grumpy girls off to school this morning, both were angling for a day off. I gave them a pep talk and packed them off, I felt bad but I have had so much time off recently with them 
. The rain continues to fall here, and I am reminded that I have a hole in both of my work shoes, wet feet all day for me again
hi louise aw i no im messin, she was glamourous,i love katie price, no alot people dont like er i always have, well raining ere ,was in the nyt as well, did i say started exmas shoppin, thts gud for me, last yr was exmas eve, got my eldeest daughter 2 tickets to go and watch example, she loves um, got my 2 sons new game each, for ps3, its astart and im gona put my exmas tree up this friday, gona get in exmas mood, why not, and im out this friday nyt, big dance nyt in club i use go few yrs ago,x
Kiera, we can call you Katie P! It is so fab that you are starting to do all these things in your life. As for doing the shopping on Christmas Eve last year, I am surprised you got any done at all when you think what was going on in your life. Wow how far you have come in 2012!!!! Your daughter likes Example? I always pretend to get rappers' names wrong to tease my youngest, he gets cross when I say Tinny Tempah and Doctor Green haha
PQ you did well to get the girls off on this rainy Monday morning. I hereby order you to get yourself some new work shoes, just one wiggle of my magic wand and hey presto two £20 notes will appear for you.....oh dear, my magic spell doesn't seem to be working today DANG!
So I have got a little heater for the airing cupboard and the washer is on full pelt to get everything back to normal
I got the emails done, and a few letters written (only C&Pd...).
I did get to see my Aunt. My daughter came along too as she had the first lesson free.
It's raining.
Hope you're ok hazeleyes and that you get things sorted today ready for tomorrow. You'll be fine though, although I'm sure those observing will enjoy it! No banging head on table as you did in the interview mind...
PQ - I hope you're able to sort out some new work shoes. Horrid when there's holes in the soles.
I hope your boiler gets sorted today Louise.
Promise, no head banging Sparkling. Can't promise no banging kid's heads together though, hehe. Glad you got to see your Aunt.
We had a quick practice run this morning, as it's all go tomorrow. Kids on my table were great, hands up continuously (great stuff) Am hoping Head doesn't perch on my table and ask me questions. That is my worst nightmare, aarrgghhh.
Pq, I have that problem with holes in my boots. That'll teach me for buying the cheapest ones Put some plastic bags inside, that should keep them drier! Hope the girls aren't grumpy on their return.
Louise, enjoy your tea party. Hope you've now got hot water.
Enjoy your day everyone. Nearly over (not that I'm clock watching of course)
I just went to get the 16 year old from college as they've closed his - I think tutors live the other side of where the A55 was closed last week. Daughter is still there...
I come home to find 13 year old and his friend home. School closed as an Year 10 pupil has died of an asthma attack. I didn't know the pupil, nor does my son, but I'm in tears. How incredibly sad.
Youngest has asthma, and has been in hospital a few times since he was a baby and it can be so frightning to see. My heart breaks for the family.
hi aw thts awful, my 11 yr old son as asthma,he ad a attack, wot a shamex
That's awful Sparkling. Asthma also runs in my family, and I've watched one of my nephews having an attack, and ended up in hospital a few times. It's terrifying to watch, and awful for the person having one. Cannot imagine what those parents/family are going through. Bless him.
Having made the dinner for tonight, yesterday, it's been lovely and relaxing here since we've been home. Swotting up on a few things for tomorrow, then will dish up.
Rain lashed down when I went to collect C. As soon as I saw him, I knew something was wrong. Another bad headache. Had one yesterday, which was equally bad. Nurofen in him as soon as we got in, a dark room, and he's as right as rain now (excuse the pun)
I wonder if he's frowning when he concentrates...
Glad you have the dinner sorted. I'm sure tomorrow will go really well. xxx
Thats such sad news sparkling...asthma attacks can progress so quick sometimes. It makes you realise how precious life is when you here things like that.
The grumps carried on when they got back hazeleyes, but I didn't get involved and its now stopped and happiness returns......
H told me about a big fight between 6 boys in her year today, 2 of them got suspended, it sounded awful...they're only 8!!!!
It's incredible at such a young age isn't it Pq, but i've witnessed so much since C started school, that nothing surprises me really anymore. If they are like this now, what on earth will they be like once they reach Secondary school?
Sparkling, there wasn't any concentration going on this afternoon. No lessons, it was a fun afternoon! That theory out of the window then, but thankyou for eliminating, which is what I'm trying desperately to do. Am at wits end, but playing it down in front of him. Poor little man.
Chicken curry was delicious, all washed up too, and sat down in time for soaps (a first in a while) My eyes are dropping now though, so going to bed to watch TV about 8ish. Still raining, hope it's dry tomorrow!
WOW it was quiet in here yesterday, no-one was in here!!!
How is everyone? Hazeleyes, I agree it is worrying about C's headaches, I know you have his eyes checked regularly, my youngest used to get it after a conbination of Maths lessons and then too long on the PC. I had occasional migraines as a young woman and they were hormonally related. Do write down everything he eats when he gets one just in case there is a link. Anyway GOOD LUCK for your observation today
Sparkling great that you sae your auntie and I am very sad to hear about the young lad. My friend's son was in a group of friends when he was about 12 and one night they got hold of a bottle of cider and were drinking it on the school field and the alcohol affected one of the boys badly and he had an asthma attack and collapsed in front of them, sadly died later. I sometimes think it is an illness that is not taken seriously enough.So how are things at work? Have you chosen another candidate for the job?
PQ that is bad, those young lads being suspended. My own personal feeling is that if troublesome kids are sorted out at primary school level then it is a lot better all round. Secondary schools are usually very tough on discipline, they have to be when you think about it.
Well the boiler was mended on Monday and I went to the tea party despute the pouring rain. Yesterday I did some errands in the morning, had an Argos voucher so got one of those magic tablecloths for when there is plenty of gravy and wine around over Christmas haha, also got some socks, all mine had become de-elasticated, and some new cereal bowls. I know how to live! Then saw my counselling clients and went to housegroup (church group)...laughed so much.
Let's hope the worst of the weather is behind us, my heart goes out to the poor people who have been flooded out
Hi,
Had my flu jab on monday and haven't been feeling great since, may be a coincidence, but either way feeling rough.
Glad the boiler has been fixed louise, its horrible when things like that are outstanding. Sounds like you had a busy day yesterday.
Hazeleyes, will be thinking of you, with all the prep you have done I'm sure you'll sail through today.
Sparkling, are you any nearer to getting a new member of staff?
Ordered some more xmas pressents on line last night for my nieces. My parents are coming for a pre-christmas visit at the weekend so they can take them to my brother's and save me the postage.
Sorry that the flu jab has left you feeling grotty, PQ. I have only ever had it once and I was poorly too.
Good for you getting the prezzies sorted. I have finished my shopping and most are wrapped but that got put on hold as everything from the airing cupboard is in piles on eldest's bed. It is all clean and dry again but I am still drying out the cupboard with a little heater before things can go back in and I get to see what Christmas stuff is on the bed.
Christmas?? I haven't even given it any thought, just can't get my head round things at the moment.
Louise, I'm glad the boiler is all sorted, and sounds like Christmas is too, in your household. I'm impressed. That goes for you too Pq. Well done ladies.
Observation was good. Our class got good/outstanding, and the Head said, how well the TA's worked on the tables Getting the children talking, getting ideas out of them etc. Commented on how well behaved the kids were. Little did they realise, the lad sitting next to me was digging a hole directly in front of him, on the table No lectures please, but my tooth has been playing up since Saturday. Some nights in so much pain. I am petrified of the dentist, so left it till this morning, then knew I had to do something. I fibbed a little, rang the dentist, said I was in agony, but couldn't take time out of work and could they just give a prescription for antibiotics. Thankfully, he agreed, but on the understanding that only this once, and also to go and see him. Hmmm, we shall see
Well done hazeleyes. I never doubted that it would be any less as you are perfect.
Work. Well, the new girl starts on Monday. Boss has now decided she can help him with measuring, keeping an eye on jobs and making sure houses are cleaned after work done and to do minor things like fill holes around pipes.
Colleague and I are giving her a month as she'll get fed up of how she's going to be running around (even though he's ordered a new van for her). She'll probably ask for more pay too. Meanwhile, colleague and I will be in the same situation we're in now.
By 2pm hysterical laughter had set in. I need a Plan B.
Have had enough - which is nothing new.
I have a headache.
Panto with the Scouts tonight.
Oh dear, flu jabs, tooth ache and headaches. Right take the rest of the year off Your cars will come and collect you at 11am tomorrow to whisk you to the airport and we shall meet for a month of sunshine, sea and chit chat in the Caribbean, our treat.....(I wish!)
I hope that everyone is tucked up cosily now, except sparkling who will be enjoying the panto (oh no she won't.....oh yes she will!)
Well done hazeleyes for an outstanding report, now go and take control of the situation and please visit the dentist, before anything gets worse.
Hey Anna. She will go to the dentist (oh no she won't!) Shall see what happens after the antibiotics, which I'm pleased to say, I now have started. The Caribbean is just what the Doctor ordered I think. Wouldn't it be great though? Dream on ladies, dream on!! I'm all cosy and warm, having had a wonderfully hot bath. Just eaten, so unless the maid turns up, I shall be doing the dishes, and I've promised myself that I shall get into bed, in time for Emmerdale.
Sparkling, enjoy the panto. I'm sure you'll all love it.
The wind is howling here, and it's soooooo cold. It's getting worse ladies, so brace yourselves!!! Roll on the summer.
Ooh Hazeleyes poor you, toothache is one of the very worst pains. Hope the antibs help. No wonder you have not been able to sleep in all that pain but WELL DONE on your observation session, sounds as if you all did well, and you even manage to disguise the boy boring a hole in the table heh heh
Sparkling did you enjoy the panto? Which one was it? The situation at work is laughable, well it would be if it wasn't so awful. You will just have to wait and see...I think that is called "having the long breath"
PQ how are you feeling? Hope you and the girls are OK.
Well there is a thick frost here, I hope everyone is wrapped up warm.
I'm not going to worry about not sleeping, or I'll be worse. I also know I'm teeth cletching, which is almost worse. I know it will ease off once things sorted. What ever shortfall in hours I have at work I'll make up with self employed stuff... Really glad to see that the candidate we liked off the CV is really nice. A few more interviews tomorrow though.
What a day. Loads of floods and men cannot get back on to the island. Detours galore on the island too as the B roads are well flooded. Dreadful day rain wise, loads of work cancelled and cancelled work for tomorrow too. Boss twitching over that! Colleague made rather a big mistake, but looks like we've got away with it. We were doubled up with laughter, although would probably have been sick had it not worked out. Sorted, and future stuff will be in my job description.
Daughter should have been going to a gig in Wrexham, but hasn't, thank goodness. Hadn't been able to contact her ages as I needed to know what she was doing. Wasn't getting a bit frantic. Oldest is getting anxious as he may not be able to get home from work...
Such fun.
