there are 24 of us online at this exact moment. i'm a stay at home mom, whats your excuse for being online at 09.45am ;) :D.
;D
Shift work!
ain't got a lecture this morning!
First customer not till mid morning.Should be doing housework ;D
I'm at work, but since I'm the boss and there's no one else here I'm entitled 8) 8) 8) 8) 8)
I am retired or as my other half would say retarded. Not dressed yet, better get cracking. This web site is addictive.
so far all good excuses ;D. Borlotti yes this site is addictive, I've run out of new posts and I'm reading archived posts now :-[.
I run my own mortgage brokerage.... and was at the forefront of the credit crunch! Things are a little bit quiet at the mo, when the best advice is mostly "wait a bit"...
But I'm taking Annabelle swimming in a bit. And then need to work out how to earn some money!
no class this morn,so doing allotment work instead,my other job!
Recovering from a slipped disc.
Still not fit enough to sit behind a desk for longer than 15 minutes, but will be back at work next week I suppose.
I'm a stay at home mum too. Both kids are off sick at the mo. This is my sanity check!! ;D
Dr insisted on putting me on sick 6 weeks ago, won't let me back till all is well..I am going crazy here XX Jeannine
Oh well ,time to go,fed up watching Bloomberg to see how poor I am these days :(
yep I'm off too. time to go mulch the asparagus bed, have a great day everyone, bye catch you all laters.
I am working after as fashion. Researching fairground rides and the way they are decorated.
The end result will be a wrought iron gazebo with seating like the old watzers and decorated with as many LED's as we can fit, painted in that showmans style.
But It gets a bit boring downloading hundreds of images so I switch to the lappy for a break.
I work from home ;D
But i have been too the vets for a check up on shooies op sites and fed the zoo, hooverd and halfway through the cleaning so i thought i deserved a break ;D
I work part time Tues to Friday & work at home sometimes too. I'm only online today because my car is in for a service & MOT & I'm transportless waiting for the weather to pick up to get on shanks' pony. In the meantime, I'm trying to book a cottage for a long weekend on Friday & catching up on A4A.
I am off sick, been ill for ten days with a horrid chest infection, tried not to give in at first and carried on, but now its floored me and ive had three days off work.
Lost my voice and still cant find it anywhere :-\
Sounds likie what I've got Honeybee. The voice is just starting to come back now. Had about 6 days without it, holed up. Kept having a pick up day followed by a washed out again day!
Son no. 1 has it now so I'm nursing him, off school. It's his 6th birthday tomorrow too, was hoping to get out and get him a card - will have to wait till he's in bed tonight and make one!
Awww bless I hope he is better in the morning enough to enjoy his birthday, you too!
Hubby looks like hes going down also, he was shaking like a leaf this morning but had to go in work as he had an important job to complete for a client in Germany, so hopefully he will make his way home when he is satisfied.
I am so fed up of sitting still, my bones are aching, but if I move I go into a frenzied coughing fit :-X
Thanks goodness for laptops ;D
im just bone idel and cant be bothered 2day:)
I think I am just at the point where I am starting to feel I should be getting going again. However, with both kids down with it I might as well chill and recover my "nerves" a bit longer.
Even when I am down with something like this I still seem to end up doing all the cooking, cleaning etc. I've learned over time, when you have kids to have to make the most of opportunities to relax ! Otherwise I'd be a total nervous wreak by now with mine!!
Cleaned and seviced mi rotovator, sorted out fishing gear, love being a partimer :)
No lectures for me today, should be researching my dissertation but hey ho here I am! ;D
I normally work from home a couple of days a week, however today i'm getting ready to go to a really exciting refrigeration trade fair in Germany.
hi i'm back after doing a few chores around the garden, i'm having a late lunch and checking A4A, i just can't help myself :-\.
I work Tues to Fri so am bobbing in and out from the garden and allotment to the computer. Should be doing housework but hate it so here I am again...
Worked from 6 to 10 am cleared up kitchen, got a line of washing outcooked dinner, went to lotty emtied a compost bin ,took beans down dug a big patch over,saw a sign saying free manure so got some, just checking out the www then back to work till 7 30pm come home and fall asleep in front of corry street
well you did ask
marg
Love this thread- getting an insight into everyone's day to day life (yes, I'm nosey! ;D)
Well I went to the bank, to pay in the money from the tennis club, as I am Membership Secretary and like to keep up to date with that. Went to Tescos to buy ingredients for a cake, I saw on Recipes 4 all. Thought I would walk home and have a quick look at my allotment. Ended up doing loads and loads of weeding. Joe Swift was up there with his camera crew so had a nose, he had his children up there and was showing off his big pumpkin. I was going to light a bonfire but as they were filming decided to do it tomorrow. Joe Swift is OK and really he is enjoying the allotment so if anyone wants to criticise him I will defend him. I have decided to use up all last years produce in the freezer so am making blackcurrant cake. It tasted good before it was cooked so will let you know in 50 minutes if it is OK. The recipe was posted by allotment_chick on March 29 2004. I was going to polish and hoover today, but once again got side tracked. It was a lovely evening, just right for digging, not too hot or too cold. Picked my one pear and will try it later.
Boots on, spade in hand, nursery beds to turn. Can't put it off any longer. I'm off.
HI HO, hi ho its off to work we go.................
I am doing nothing (think it is the first time in my life that I have done nothing for so long :o) as I have pneumonia and HAVE to REAST as every one keeps telling me >:( feeling well so I am off to do some Ironing (sitting down mind you) which I will probably be shouted at for by my mom (feel like I am a teenager again though I don't think I ever got shouted at for doing the ironing not doing it maby ;D) I like this thread I hope it keeps going (not that I am nosy or any thing ;D ::) ;D )
I work part-time and irregular hours!
This time, I'm in work and using you guys to maintain my sanity!
Had a lazy morning (my sister has my boy), picked up some eggs from our lotty neighbours.
Decided to have a quick bath, 30 minutes later got out of it and hung my GYO magazine to dry out.
Feeling tired now so am going to put in lord of the rings and lay on the sofa.
Sometimes i love rainy days. ;D
Second day off work with this chest bug that seems to be going round. Had nothing else to do so was reading the fortnightly diary on 'down the lane' site and came across link to this site, read all your comments and thought I would join. Off to look around the rest of the site now and then pick wife up from work and son from school. Will ten go to bed with hot water bottle and see if am better for work tomorrow. Rich
Welcome to the site, Rich, hope you will be feeling better very soon. We're a friendly bunch here (mostly ::))
Oooh, had forgotten down the lane, thanks for the reminder and welcome Rich!
;)
I'm listening to the piano tuner tuning the piano - can't do the hoovering until he has finished :D
Not long back from work.Had my flu jab this morning.Yuk.
Fed the dogs .Thought about doing housework.Put the computer on instead.
The dogs eyes are boring into the back of my head.They want walkies.How long can I hold out? :)
Managed to get into work today...still not feeling good though.
Delegation was the order of the day ;)
My work phone/freeset never stopped ringing and a few people made comments about thinking they had got through to some porno chat line :o
Charming! I cant help it if I am all husky at the moment ;D
Welcome aboard Rich.
Well you poor poorly people! Get well soon all of you. :)
My computer is in a walk through study between the kitchen and the rest of the bungalow, so I try to avoid turning it on till I've done something useful as I seem to spend far too much time on here, looking in on A4A when I pass by.
12.44 The weekend starts here. A few cold tinnies out of the fridge, Meat and potato pie down the pub later, with a few jars to wash it down while I read the local rag. Home for a wash and brush up for tonight, then a few more jars before I feel I've had enough, then the odd G+T until home time. stagger up the road with my kebab in hand and sauce all down my shirt.
Work hard, play hard. Can't beat it.
Alright for some...I'm working nights for the next 3 nights......I'll be off to bed again soon to try and get ahead of myself a bit! :-\
Just got home after going for a job interview. Thinking of going down the lottie this pm, although really need to do some other work....but the sun is shining, so might get down the plot whilst I can!
