Re: How has your day been?
Work is doing my head in. I tell them that I can only work weekdays and in daytime - so what shifts do I get for next week, saturday late morning til evening (at 9-30) and the same on sunday. I have no-one to look after youngSOB, looks like I may have to lose this job. They promised that it wouldn't be a problem and they could fit in around my altered circumstances but it seems that when the chap who employed me left, all the helpfulness/co-operation went with him! Looks like they just want me to beg and grovel again. Meh and pfffffft to the lot of them 
Other than that today has been a lovely peaceful Sunday
YoungSOB is back to school tomorrow and I'll have a week of nothingness as I have no shifts - I may have no choice other than to get back to sorting/unpacking our stuff which is all still in cardboard boxes 
I still need to find a cheap cupboard where I can stash away all the stuff that has no other logical place to go and looks messy if left out. Where does one buy stashing cupboards cheaply?

Op shops? Bought several nice pieces in good condition from the Salvos
Had a productive day. Planted the plants we got at our Citizenship ceremony. Mowed the front lawn and pressure-washed the front path where the planting took place.

Me and First Born are doing a Pride and Prejudice marathon and lusting after Colin Firth 
I'm also having to translate some words for her 
It also helps to remind her what an awesome mother I am. Mrs Bennet does have her uses after all.

Re: How has your day been?
A little bit good and a little bit not so good. Got up at 6 to go to the loo and when I stood up I saw a small trickle of blood running down the front of my leg and an area of my healing suture line that's opened. I stopped the bleeding but now there's about a 1/2 cm area of what looks like a bubble. Now I'm going to have to go back to the surgeon again tomorrow. I just got the flipping bandages off on Thursday! 
The old man and I are taking our daughter to see Ted this afternoon so looking forward to that. I also felt like playing Masterchef this morning so made the filling for beef & guinness pies and it's in the slow cooker. I won't bother with the crust until we get home from the movies. I also made 2 dozen melting moments and they're just cooling now. I'm going to make lemon filling for them seeing how I've got 2 shopping bags full of lemons and one of limes. Tonight I'm making lime pound cake to take to work tomorrow.

Food sounds yummy. I'm fasting from midnight, but am preparing a sausage casserole, so that hopefully there will be some for DD and OH tomorrow.
OH doesn't feel well- aching neck and cold. I've sacrificed my wheatpack, as I'm all rheumaticky and am not allowed painkillers. I hope he is ok to come with me tomorrow, as there is no one else. On the other hand, if he is catching, I don't really want him that close>

Re: How has your day been?
Had a lovely day in Freo with my friend and her little girl, went to Gino's for lunch, then to the park by the Esplanade, I have just got back - now having a cuppa.
Got to wash/straighten my hair - now that is a mammoth task of late, then get stuff ready for work tomorrow but otherwise, just relaxing this evening.

Re: How has your day been?
Just bathed the kids and have made two covers for son's wheat bag. Navy corduroy with red cars. He's happy as a pig in mud (well, he would be if I hadn't just washed all the mud off!)
Now going to make some waterproof pads to put in two of the children's Ready Beds for holiday later in the year. I just figure that if they wet the bed at least I will only have to wash the pads! I am using a couple of old cot waterproof mattress protectors, some flannelette sheeting and Velcro. Hope it works!!!!

A golden duck but a team win to keep us in the hunt for a semi spot.

Re: How has your day been?
Did bugger all today, had a terrible headache all day. The house looks like a bomb has hit it and I don't know where to start. I didn't even buy any wine today
