Bollocks!

You lot have distracted me, I meant to put the oven on so DH's dinner would be on when he gets back from taking the dcs swimming so it won't be quite so obvious I've just been drinking wine and MNing.

TheArsenicCupCake · 24/09/2010 20:01

:) that's what we are here for.

SauvignonBlanche · 24/09/2010 20:04

With a bit of luck oven will hot enough for some enticing smells by the time he gets back. Do you think it might be a bit OTT if I put a pinny on? Wink

Siddles up to the bar and orders a coke. DH at work tomorrow and my wine night is Saturday.

NM, nice going on the play date!

I am slowly working up the courage to ask one of the dads at school if his DS can come for tea at mine with DS2. Might be brave enough next term.

TheArsenicCupCake · 24/09/2010 20:08

right.. I have hot choc, work is sorted enough to deal with tomorrow, pc is turned off ( I'm all comfy on the sofa with my phone) .. I'm ready :)

slm.. That made me giggle.. Mostly be ause I would have to explain it to ds :o

Nowt but a bit of manky old sherry to be had in the house tonight, so I guess I'll go get a cup of tea to have while I knit. I'm up for an early night, anyhow, since last night's wind and rain kept me awake. The kids actually slept through it.

TheArsenicCupCake · 24/09/2010 20:12

Do it 5inb ! it'll be fine :)

my boys are with their dad tonight and dd is at a sleep over.. Dh is at work and all I can hear is nothing.. It's bliss!
Barring the headache from hell has now turned into the runny nosed cold from hell.. So I'm not on the wine :o

5inthebed · 24/09/2010 20:13

I should be doing DS2s Cerebra computer grant form....I jsut don't have the will power. Might do it drunk tomorrow Grin

Didn't realise there was a turn on tonight,did we have to buy tickets at the door?

TheArsenicCupCake · 24/09/2010 20:16

Good couple of days here. I started back at uni yesterday, and already might have my film sorted for this term. Following on from my adventures on ice with my mate, I'm hopefully doing another documentary, this time on a wheelchair basketball team in the area.

I may have to have a go, all in the name of research you understand and because it looks like jolly good fun :)

Getting my hair done tomorrow (dying it purple!) then meeting with the team secretary in the afternoon to discuss the idea. People at uni seem interested, and are giving me some great advice. Bit nervous because all my other films have involved people close to me so this is a bit outside my comfort zone as I don't know the man, or any of the team in fact.

Oh, and boo! Going to have to wait til October to find out if DSA will fund a software upgrade I need because the man who does it is on holiday out of the office til October.
