I have so far

Done the lettering for one class display based on the book they are reading - The sheep pig.

Found a picture of a pig for the board which I have printed off, will enlarge it onto A3 then paint it tomorrow (if I get time)

Found a picture of a Target board which needs laminating for the Maths board (still no idea what to do for that board but trying out a few things)

Sorted out whether I can afford the £118 for my sons Geography field trip in January

Discussed my options with a friend (this was not a lot of help but got things off my chest)

Cooked dinner (which the dog ate because someone left the kitchen door open, so dog ate our gammon joint)

Ate the Pasta bake son cooked to replace it

Cleared up after the dog when he was sick (serve the bloody thing right he is lucky to still be in the house)

Found some good story openings to go on the Literacy board.

So far a constructive evening.

Going to put youngest to bed, put my nightclothes on then sit with feet up and do some sewing!

Nig decided to go to football straight after work so the house is to myself for now, peace will reign!

Went round to a friends house last night as she was hosting a Virgin Vie party.

Said to eldest son as I left him in charge " Only popping out for an hour to J's house, don't answer the door or phone, Dad should be in soon."

"WHy you going to J's house" he asks

"she is having a Virgin Vie party, just need to give her my order" I replied

"but your not a virgin mum" he says with a grin on his face. Groan!!

At party, only a neighbour and another work colleague turn up so feeling pleased that I didn't cancel which I was going to do as I really didn't feel like going out. It is unusual for J to have so few at her party but originally it was organised for Friday and as we are now meeting up with a mutual friend to meet her new boyfriend, she changed the date.

So glass of wine in hand and some low fat pretzels my phone rings.
"Hello darling," says hubby " just to let you know I am home so don't hurry back. Why are you at J's anyway?"

"Virgin Vie party"

"Oh if you meet a virgin take a photo for me"

"Hardly likely dear we are all at the age where we are in relationships, married or divorced"

"So why is it called Virgin then?" he asks laughing at his own joke,. More Groans from me of despair as I put the phone down.

Honestly I despair of the men in my house I really do.

It was a good evening, got in at around 11, £40 worse off, good job I got paid yesterday lol!
