Morning Ladies,
OM - Testosterone in skin! Love it. Definitely agree!! Aren't teenagers lovely!! I have to admit we do not do the "grounded" punishment like a lot of DCs parents as I feel as I am being punished then as much as them! We do the Mobile phone/Ipod/Computer thing too.
Get to that paperwork - It wont do itself!! (Although I am now going to keep quiet as I have a feeling that comment could come back and haunt me and bite me on the bum when I ahve to do all my financial paperwork in April.
Hi to SC and TC are you both mouse free yet? In my experience getting a cat increases the mouse issue. I do seem to acquire daft cats though. They are good at bringing them INTO the house, then dropping them and allowing them to run under the kitchen cupboards and the cat gets bored with his playmate before it is dead, so I then have to catch the horrible little creatures and throw over the garden fence! - Shhh dont tell the neighbours!
Hope SC's daughter is improving and getting back to feeling better.
Hi to MM MrsD , PMPY - good to here from you again, take it easy.
DWM - We use the lloyds pharmacy repeat service for our repeat prescriptions. All I do is pop into the local chemist when a repeat is due and it is ready and waiting. No waiting for three days and three trips into town!
swan78 Good luck with the bedroom!
Aberita - Glad the school enrolment went ok. Can they actually turn a child down for not being able to catch a ball and stand on one leg?
My ideal job would be to be a librarian, I just think I would be useless, cos I would want to read ALL he books!
SR - Sympathies abou the noisy digging of the road. I did get strangely used to it and felt as if I had gone deaf when it actually stopped...... although maybe I am just strange!
Ellie Hope you enjoy your day today. Sounds busy, but fun!
Right, well yesterday on the way to get the results I asked DD what she thought she might get, just so that I could gage how to react, if in doubt. conversation went along the lines of "If I get less than a "B" I will be disappointed, but I didn't actually do much work and I did rubbish in the exam!" So , she got a "C" and was devastated! Perhaps it will teach her that she cannot coast through life and always get A*s. Anyway a trip to Thorntons coffee shop and she was smiling again, but not helped by her brother arriving home ecstatic that he got a "B" in a GCSE science module after getting an "E" in his mock, just 2 weeks prior to the real exam! He had not even told us that he was getting the result yesterday because he was scared he would do rubbish and thought we might not need to know!
So an odd day yesterday and I felt as if I was walking on eggshells, but hopefully lessons learnt all round.
Sandwich marathon has been completed for the last time this week - YEAH!
Freezing cold here today.
Manic day at work today. Two deadlines with two different jobs to complete today. I feel as if I am on track and should have it all completed by lunch time, If its all done I plan a lunch out to celebrate!! But there is always the potential for it all to go horribly wrong until I press that last button, in which case it may be a beans on toast at 10pm!! But as little flying as I can get away with!
Have a good Friday everyone!
