ok! lol I get called in to work early (well last friday i knew bout this so i did have notice!) was asked to work 7-8 this morning to do the last bit of tidying/cleaning due to main man being on Duryduty (thats now on it's 3rd wk! but any ways!) i get to work for 6:50am and looked up! there was stars still in the sky, the sky was still 80% black the moon (which was beautifull) was still out! and all the lights were off! :O no one was there! so was like blimey! this don't half look spooky with all the lights out and the nice night sky in the back ground! 5 mins later the main cleaner turns up! :D lol
so that was laugh number 1!
Laugh number 2! going round cleaning the classrooms and everything (in me scruffs!) and realise that it's gettin on to 8:20 and the other teachers start turning up! and one the nicest teachers that always makes a point of chatting to me and the other ladies! but she looked at me and said "WHAT! on earth you doin in at this time of morning?!" so told her that i was doin the last bit of the cleaning! and she looked at me and said you sure do look better later on in the day! (well i hadnt had a shower, hadnt straighted me hair, hadnt done anything other than chuck some clothes on at that time of morning! so i sure DO hope i look better in the afternoon when i get back to school for my dinner shift!)
Laugh number 3! i'm on bell duty! (so i'm ringing the bell to let the children know that it's time for a class dinner to go in! (we have card monitors that run out with cards and i have to ring the bell when i see them to get the childrens attention!))
Any ways! i'v been telling the other children that they shouldnt walk up and down the grass bank as it's slippy. and even told a child off cuz i'd told her 3 times NOT to do it! so there was me takin a line down to the dinner hall and i had to catch up with the front of the line as they were messing so i steped 2 inches on to the bank and whoosh! i'm on my bum arnt I! hahahahha! so I end up with mud EVERY where! hahahaha!!
now they say things come in 3's! well i'v had a 4th! (and only reason why i laugh is cuz if i don't i'd actually cry at my totally and utterly stupid mistake!) i'v just booked a little holiday for me and my son in the summer holidays and was like right i'v got the £50 deposit in my bank so will pay for it all now! go thru the whole details and everything and was like yup! thats all good! pay for it get the confermation eamil thru .... only to find ..... the holiday i'v booked is a WHOLE month EARLY!!!!!! OOPS! i'm hoping that butlins will be able to change it tomorrow when i phone thru!
ah well! i'v got the ironing pile to get thru before i go bed! so i'm goin to head off and do that tonight!
chat to you all soon xxx
Hi hatz
I bet you wished you hadn't got out of bed that day In fact all of the things are a bit "better laugh or I will cry", aren't they?
I imagine that Butlins will be able to change it if you ring them straightaway, good luck with that and let us know how you get on 
FEWWWWWWWWWWW! i phoned butlins and had a laugh with them about my stupid mistake! and THANKFULLY! :D they'v managed to change it! i'v not lost my deposit or anything :D WHOOPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP! hehe! all's good! holiday now booked for JULY! and not june! haha! thought it was a bit cheap! they have how ever chucked an extra £100 on top of the price! (due to school holiday season!) but there we go! i got an extra month to pay it all off by! :D one great thing about holiday! you can pay as and when you got the money in your bank! so long as it's all payed by 23rd may! (for me!)
You know what! thats one thing i'v never ever done! burn clothes while ironing! one my friends managed to do it and ended up calling the fire brigade as the whole iron, clothing, ironing board and the patch of carpet it was all standing on went up in flames! (she'd totally forgoten about the fact if you leave an iron on clothes for too long it'll burn and cause a fire! (p.s! she's VERY accdent prone! she was cooking sausages one day in the fring pan and they had a knock at the door so she went to answer it then forgot they were on the stove and boom! 999 fire brigade please!!))
but any ways! i'v never done it! lol and touch wood (knock knock!) i never will! did how ever do 2hrs of ironing and only 1 item out the lot was mine! :O and that was me bra that i'v been lookin for!!! 1/2 a bag of my son's stuff and the rest of it was me mum's and step dads! :o and they wonder why they dont have any clothes to wear!!! THERE ALL IN THE IRONING PILE! and what sort of a thanks did i get??? ... step dad came down all grumpy cuz he could hear the tv and barked "CAN YOU TURN THAT DOWN!" (it was on 10volume which is quiet!) and this morning i had to turn to my mum and say i'v done all your ironing including that pile that was there! and she just says thanks :O the cheek of it! oh and the washing machine that i managed to get empty and the dryer that i manged to get empty are now filled with there stuff again so i'v got to wait till i can put my stuff in it which was the wole reason behind emptying them in the first place!!!!!!!! ah well!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
lets see what happends to me today! well i need to go in to town to get some money out to buy my son a couple more jumper for school, i could do with some more tshirts and i think thats about it! lol i could do with some more trainers but they can wait! i'm still just about warter proof on my feet! lol so they can wait for a few weeks! I asked job centre about when i should see this money! (the £250) and the lady was actually VERY helpfull! :) (well in a way!) she said that she'd hear a from a few people that it could take up to 5 weeks for it to come thru! so i'v only got like another week or so to wait! reason behind the 5 weeks! they found that people were coming off job seakers to get the £250 maybe cuz they found a job and 2 or so weeks later they were back at job centre cuz they quit the job! so they stopped givin it out straight away and now wait for a number of weeks to show that you are still in the job and not goin to go back to job centre after spending the money!
any ways! need a cuppa and some breakky! gona put the telly on and then at some point i need to sort me rabbits out and pop in to town! lol :)
chat to you all laters! xxx

well nothin really funny has happend to me today! lol just been a kinda normal day! so it's pretty good! did turn up 20 mins early for work tho :O! haha that was funny but i had a few things to sort out like order my son a new jumper and hand over 2 lots of paper work so that took 10 mins then the hall was empty and the dinner staff started putting tables and chairs out so i started to put the chairs with the tables ready for the mad dinner rush! lol did 1 row of about 12 chairs then the other ladies turned up! so they started to help me too! lol Then it was on to the bell duty! i got a nice big blister on my hand from the bell but at the moment in comparason to last time i was on duty my arms arnt to bad!!! lol
well i'm heading for an early night just got a few more things to sort out then off to bed! lol nighty night night!
Hi hatz. I'm sure it will take a bit of time to get used to the different glasses. Be careful with the school bell, don't want you hurting your arm again!!! Hope you and your son have a good day. I'm doing my volunteering this morning at the school, so need plenty of clothes on. I sit in the mobile classrooms, and they are absolutely freezing. Am cold just thinking about them hehe. Catch up with you soon.
awwww hazeleyes! our school got rid of the mobiles about 2yr ago now! but i was brought up with them and so really got use to them! (plus the fact that me and my best friend use to sit infront of the radiators!!!! (untill the spiders came out to say boo!)) and was hardly ever cold! lol even in the deepest of winters when it was FREEZING out side we'd be ok in the mobiles! hehe!
HAHA! funny comment! (only cuz it's not my clothes! (or my sons!))
i was emptying the tumble dryer of my parents clothes and EVERY thing i was pulling out was covered in spakley gliter circules! i found the cause! my mum has a pretty pair of sparkley pants, and all the glittery bits have come off (pretty much!) haha!!!!!!! so they'v now got VERY glittery tshirts, socks, pants, boxers! haha! everything that i was pulling out was covered!!!!! THANKFULLY! when i put my stuff in afterwards there's not a trace of these glittery circules on my clothes so i'm happy with that! :D hehe!!!!!!!!
ah well! i'm off for the night! the bell week is goin good so far!!! i was told what the nack was with the bell altho now the inside bit wants to go round in circules rather than up and down to make it dong! haha! but the kids hear it and come running! (most the time at least!) still get a few that come in and say have such-a-such gone in yet! ... it's either yes, yes AGES AGO! or no! haha! I'm just bout there with my eyes and glasses altho i think i'm still gettin use to the fact that my right eye is being pulled in to working order again! i keep gettin a bit of eye straine in it and it twiches alot!! so will be givin it a week if it's still not 100% i'll pop back in and just have a chat to them and see what they say! best way really! lol
Right! i got to head off, need to find a few things (inc my tweezers to take these cattapillers off my face! haha!) and get sorted out for tomorrow CHINESE NEW YEAR!!! tomorrow and were goin to celebrate it!!!!! got a few fire works and a lantern and were goin to have a chinese tea too! :D
nighty night night! :)
Hi hatz
Glad you have got the hang of the bell, we don't want you hurting your arm again.
Oh dear, there were glittery bits all over the laundry and now your mum has non-glittery pants! 
hehe! i'm still chucklin at it now! haha!
here go! funny moment! ... asked my son to get my shoes for me (meaning my trainers!) and he comes in with my boots. now these boots arnt too high but do have a 2inch heal on them! and are tiny bit too tight around the toes! so i turned to him and said oh! am i wearing them today then? he said YES! :( as i squeze them on my feet! i did manage to walk up to school and back but soon as i got home i had to get my feet out of them! haha!
when we were at the top of the street 1/2 way to school my son keeps thinkin that he has to take his teacher a leaf for a pressent! (thankfully on her side it never reaches her!) so we were having a bit of a barmey about that this morning and i said that his teacher dosent want a laef as a pressent! and really she dosent need a pressent! he turned round to me and said mummy! ... sometimes i love you! i turned back to him and said yes sometimes i love you too .. but the rest of the time your just a pain in the bum!!!!!!!!!!!!!! hahahahah!!!!!!!! (he know's i'm only joking with him!) altho he is a total pain in the bum sometimes! haha!
catch you all laters i'v just straightened my hair and got to get the rest of me sorted out and ready for work!! ooooooooo only today and tomorrow left at school! :D whoop!
evening all! don't you just love kids ay!
at school we'v got a small fence that just fences off the nature area so the kids don't get in and trash it! well there's a panel missing and one the lads i think he's about a yr 4 decided to see if he could squeeze thru it! i called him to me and i said you know your NOT meant to be doing that don't you!!! and he turned to me and said! ............. OWW i'v got sore nipples now!!! do you want to see! i put my hand up and said NO I DO NOT WANT TO SEEEE! and walked away chuckling! hahahaha!
i have to say i'v had one VERY funny week! :D but least it's made me and a few of you laugh too! :D
Kids....you never know what they are going to do next, do you? 
Hope you and your little monsteroo will have a good weekend, what's on the agenda?
well today started off good!! went down hill after dinner tho :( we got up at a reasonable 9am! (we woke up at about 8!) had breakfast and all that! and then we went out and cleaned the animals out which the monsteroo actually helped me with today! putting the sawdust in and all that! i showed him the new babies (which still stands at 3!) and he was really happy and pleased to have new rabbits! then he played with his foot ball for a bit while i sorted some other bits out and then we came back in cuz it was rather windy and starting to get wet! so we came inside!
the washin up needed to be done and so i pre washed all the plates and bowls and said to the lil man come on then! jump up on your chair and come do this washin up! :D and yes he stood there for about an hr and washed all the plates, bowls and then said he wanted to do the cups! so i said ok then! :D so he did all that lot and me mum found a toy out the present box and gave that to him as a thank you! i finished of the washing up and as me mum needed some milk i said i'll pop down town with the monster to wear some energy out of him! but this is where it started to go down hill :( walked (he scootered!) in to town and we went to the paper shop to pay the papers where he got him self a little can as he was thirsty and then we headed round to sommerfileds/co-op and he started playin up round there wantin to push the trolly and all that but kept managing to side track him and gettin him to look for the stuff we needed! and then we went down to the self service part which he loves doin so i left him to it and i packed the bags!
we headed off out and he got back on his scooter and we crossed the road and he was doin really well really happy and everything doin as i told him and he got off his scooter to go round the corner were we cant see who's coming the other way till it's too late! then for some reason he just didnt want to know :( he went to go across the road when i said were goin to the bus stop, then he wasnt lookin where he was goin, he kept goin really fast, then when we got to the bus stop i told him he cant go riding round as the amount of times he's bumped in to some one it's not worth it, so i took the scooter off him and he played up really badly! i told him pleanty of times that i didnt want him to ride round and he would have done, then for some reason he bit my arm and then dug his chin in to my arm really hard (didn't help with the fact that my arm was resting on the metal arm of the bench i was sitting on!) so he got told of for that.
when we finely got home (what was only prob 10 mins but felt like forever) he was playin up here kept gettin in me mum's way and so i tried to tune him in to some work incase it was the fact he was board, he ended up doin half an hr's work with his spelling book! we then went on to the magazeen that he brought and we did some work in there but then said he'd had enought of that and we moved on to his books from school which he did in about 2 mins cuz we'v had them since weds! he has a habbit of not being able to read them to being able to read them all the way thru and not stopping! so there's me putting a note in his book to keep these stories then he'll be able to read them thru! as tho he remembers the words of by heart after i'v read them to him!
then when it got round to tea time he just was really naughty there's no other words for it! wouldnt give straight answers to any questions, i gave him a warning at the beging to behave him self and he just never did, my step dad warned him and then he got just plain rude and bad mannered so i grabbed the food that he was messing with out his mouth chucked it on his plate got him down from the table and sat him on the stairs! told him what he was doin wrong and said he's got 4 and 1/2 mins there so he'd better stay there!
time was up told him to go say sorry to my mum and step dad sat him back on the stairs to have a chat with him and said he'd better go eat his tea! 5 mins later he'd finished it!
but yes! we'v had a horrible afternoon really still don't know what the matter was with him or anything but he's now in bed and hopefully we'll be getting a better day out of him tomorrow!
Yes, hopefully you will have a better day today.It can be a mammoth task trying to entertain them all day, sometimes it is best to let them play on their own a bit and chill. it's difficult to tell what sparked him off but it sounds like the time out really helped. Hope you had a peaceful night!
well today we had a day back to normal with my monster! :) so we'v had a happy day unlike it was yesterday! so it must have been one of them days yesterday!
not really done much today just been sorting a few things out and everything! you know what i cant actually think what i'v been up to today!!! haha! i know i'v not been out the house! watched CATS AND DOGS earlier with the monster, parents went out about 2-3 ish and then came back again! lol then me step dad dropped off for about 3/4's an hr! which made me tired so i dropped off then he snored and woke me up so i only got 10 mins kip! haha! but i was wide awake after that ... just tired again now!!!!
and really now's now! lol fancy some chocolate ... wonder if we have any round the house some where! hehe!!!!!!
Top news! ... my mum's actually asked me to start looking for my own place!!!!!!!!!!!! haha! she's not given me a date thankfully but yup i'm now looking for my own place and seeing what there is out there! haha!!! :)
hatz, do go to the housing office in the Council. If your Mum is wanting to leave, this will mean that they could well add you to the housing list.
Your Mum could write a letter to say she wants you to leave for you to take to the office. She'll hate doing it, I'm sure, but it could well help...
Yes that is right, sparkling lime, a letter is a great idea.
I know a move towards independence is something you have been thinking about for some time, hatz. How do you feel about it?
i'm poppin library tomorrow so can print the forms off cuz i cant get to coalville just yet! so goin to have to do it the long way round (as they say snail mail!) i just met an old friend of mine who said to get in touch with someone else cuz she seems to think that one of there properties is up for let, (altho she has said this to me before and when i asked i got a very cold NO in answer! but there we go! lol) when i see her again i'll ask and see what she's up to and everything with it! she's having some work done on it at the moment so just got to wait and see i guess!
blimey is that the time!?
The bus has gone up in price today so i'v made my self a consious (how ever you spell it!) desion that i'm not goin to go on the bus unles i'm late for some where or i'v got too many shopping bags or there too heavey for me to carry, so i'v walked in to and back from town today! :D feeling pretty good bout it just got to grab some dinner then head off to work! all my over colleges are all ready there in a first aid course which i don't have to do cuz i did one at end of last yr and there wasn't any places left (well i gave mine up for someone that dosent have a certificate!) so i get to do mine next time round!
... where can i go to get a load of boxes from so i can start sorting out what seems like a whole house full of stuff in my bedroom so i can start getting rid of what i REALLY don't need and the stuff that i need to keep and can box up???? any ideas!
Right got to get sorted and head out x x x chat laters x x x
Hi hatz
ASk at the local supermarket if they will save some for you. Also you could try going on your locial Freecycle or Neighbours United to ask if anyone has any to spare.
cool thanks :) use to be signed up with freecycle but it all got complicated so just disconected it all! but will ask at supermarkt see what they got if anything!!!
mum's come home with the paper work i was goin to print off tomorrow so that will save me a job of doing :D hehe!
Hi hatz. This all sounds exciting for you and your son. I do hope you're able to get a place of your own soon. There's always packing boxes offered on freecycle, so maybe it's worth going back on it, or as Louise says, the supermarket, or even corner shops.
Hope you have a good day.
okdokie i'll have a look back in to freecycle and see what i can do! .. just a case of picking things up!
as for a corner shop! ... it got turned in to a house!!!!!!! so our nearest shops now are town! lol but will be investigating! ... gona as school if they got any boxes i can have! see what they say at least! :D
Right i'm desprate for the loo and need to get sorted out ready for work! :) catch you all laters x x x
Hope you have a good day, hatz
Your stepdad would probably help you pick up boxes
i asked about in school and one the dinner ladies said that they still got theres from when they moved! :D so she's bringing them too me at school tomorrow then will drop me off at home after shift tomorrow! hehe! (saves me the 5 mins walk with them all!) cuz apparently they are big and not sure how big they are but she had to measure them to see if they would fit in back of her car :O (she's got one of the box type cars!) lol but will see tomorrow!
well told my son that we need to wash his hair cuz he's been playin in the leaves at school! and so i said come on then lets go wash your hair took his tshirt and vest off and he went to get in the shower!!!! daft batt!!! lol so we ended up washin his whole body today and his hair! which ok only takes bout 5 mins to do really! hehe!!! blow dryed his hair again and he's gone to bed a bit of a fluffy top lil man! haha! will have to wet it down tomorrow if it's still really fluffy!
oooooo i just thought!!! it's a short month this month :D only 20 days left hehe! 21st us lot have a half term week! :D and go back in on the last day of feburary! hehe! ooo i get paid a bit earlier too! :D likeing it even more! hehe! got 2 holidays to pay for! (well 1 to pay for and 1 to find some money for!) parents have said were goin to go over to my uncles for easter in sweden so need to get some money in for that! my plan is if i get it changed bit by bit in to the swedish currencey i wont be tempted to spend it over here cuz basicly i wont be able to! haha! so can save it up a bit too!
any ways! few more things to do got to check on ebay things! my mum's sittin there doin chroette (i don't think thats how you spell it! haha that type of knittin you do but with a hook and you loop the wool round and can make blankets ... babies get a lot of blankets made for them when there bron and such like!) my step dads gone to sleep with his glasses on! and the cat's got a sore foot cuz he decided to see what my mum's cup tea would be like if he put his foot in it!!!!!!!!!!!! monsteroo is in bed and i guess asleep!!!! so i'v now got a nice relaxin evening, goin to find something to eat as i'v not eaten much today and tea we had soup 1 of which was really nice but the other one i wasnt keen on (was sharing 1/2 with me mum so i'v only really had 1/2 a bowl of soup with a bread roll!!!) so kinda gettin hungry! ... but then-again! it's tuesday i wonder if i can pinch £1 of me mum cuz chip van will be round shortly! :D WHOOP! :D
Hope you didn't burn any clothes hatz, hehe. What a day you had. I really hope Butlins will sort the date out for you. It will be lovely for you and your son. Is it just the two of you?
