Hey buddy!!
ReplyDeleteI've got loads to tell you x x x
Will ring you when I've got a minute! Xxx
DeleteWhat a busy week you've been having. I'm looking forward to reading more of your posts!
ReplyDeleteHello ;-) thanks for commenting!! I'm a bit sporadic at posting but feel free to rummage in my archives!!
Delete:-) Sounds like you have been having a good time! Glad you sorted the phone at last!
ReplyDeleteJ x
Oh me too!! Bloody kids!
DeleteWow...you made me dizzy just reading that list. Maybe I should list all the things I do each day/week because sometimes it seems I achieve nothing and then I think back and realise I did this and that and that and this and I've actually hardly stopped. Even when I sit and watch TV I generally have knitting or sewing or something else going on at the same time. BTW, did you really mean to write 'gang-banged'...you do know that has sexual conotations? Sounds like you've been dealing with the usual mess that is the beginning of a new school year, though...frenetic as always. Hope things calm down a bit as everyone settles in. Well done with the healthy eating amidst all the chaos. I've slipped a bit lately and been comfort eating. Still just within my target allowance but at the higher end and feeling the extra few lbs around my middle. Keep up the good work. Love, Helen xx
ReplyDeleteHelen, that's the EXACT reason I wrote the post. I sat and thought I was being so lazy as I'd not done anything!!
ReplyDeleteI do know what gang banging is !!! But according to the child I was talking to ... Me and you probably know it as
All Pile On!!! Totally innocent!
Just discovered this post after I had posted a post with nearly the same title, but your week so far is MUCH more interesting than mine!
ReplyDeleteWe are going to have to disagree here!! Yours is easily the more interesting!
DeleteGo girl, but take it easy on the rowing machine, don't want to get ahead of yourself. Love the fact you sorted the phone, often pretend to be someone else to get past 'data protection' at work. Bake off was great last night, did you see Doctor Foster afterwards, good start to series
ReplyDeleteSeriously Marlene, I'm so unfit, five minutes was all I could do without having a coronary!! Doctor Foster was excellent- the bonus of dark nights is that the telly gets better!!
DeleteWell done. You may continue.
ReplyDeletexx
Cheers!!
DeleteGoodness I'm shattered for you :)
ReplyDeleteGoodness I am tired for you
ReplyDeleteJane, I am a MACHIIIIIINE!!!
Deleteoh your blog posts are so good.
ReplyDeleteThis one has had me roaring with laughter in places, going 'aww' in others. School life is tough for teenies sometimes. :o/
Getting up for wee at 3 really cracked me up. My time is between 1 & 3, every night. It's good to know I'm not alone!
hurrah it's Friday! x
We could set up a 3am weeers club!! Although last night - not wanting to brag or anything- I SLEPT THROUGH!!
DeleteFlipping Heck Rachel. How many days have you been back at work :) Glad you've finally got the phone sorted out. And what is it about 3am wees? If I only get up once in the night I'm doing well. xx
ReplyDeleteThat was 2 days - when's half term???
DeleteYou do make me laugh. Even homeschooling brings it's trials at the beginning of a new school year. This year's trial was me forgetting to buy a pencil sharpener ready to start the years work with! How do boys break so many pencils?
ReplyDeleteI'm with you, Radio 2 all the way x
You will have a drawer somewhere in your house that will be hiding at least 5 pencil sharpeners!!
