I am dead on my feet at the moment. Working six days a week, looking after a child and trying to run a house is a bloody knackering thing to do. Because of the lack of staff at work I am also being shown how to do many more things, this is leaving me mentally drained too and of course in a few weeks I start on my OU course, yay! To top it all off my social calendar has never been so full! This weekend is the only weekend where I have nothing to do, well it was until I found out that mum is going into hospital to have her knee replaced on Sunday so I shall be spending some time with her. Billy isn’t round tonight (as he normally is) so I am going to attempt to do washing up, tidying and washing of clothes, oh and then I’ve got to make dinner at some point, go through Maisie’s spellings and listen to her read.
Something is going to go pop soon, I’m betting on my feet and my brain.

Tired of not having water, but thankfully it should be back on tomorrow for flushing and bathing use. Billy just told me that he is having a bath in a min, but I have to wait. When tomorrow comes and I hear that sound of cisterns filling up I shall be in the bath like a shot and stay in it for some time… although not too long as the water will still be a bit dodgy.
In other news I got the preparatory material for my OU course. I am really looking forward to this as my sister is doing it too. This means competition which in turn means that we will be doing good work (hopefully). At work my boss is on holiday and I feel like I’m running the place, which I suppose is good training for when I do actually run the place. Having just one day off a week is very draining though, I wanted a lie in yesterday but also didn’t want to waste the day. What is a young girl to do? Well, I stayed in bed till 9.30, that’s what I did!
I have to go shopping on Wednesday as I have a pirate party to go to on Saturday. It’s meant to be on a boat but there still may be a chance that the water is too high so it may be moved to a pub nearby. I have decided to use the dresses I made for re-enactment as the costume as they are wenchy/pirate type dresses. I need to add stripy tights, bandanna, big earrings, eye patch and cutlass to this equation.
Last night I watched Hairspray and I have to say I loved it and smiled all the way through. Gonna watch the last episode of Jekyll in a minute, I am sure there will be less smiling whilst watching that.
*Edit* I watched the last episode of Jekyll and I did actually smile. It was very good, a tad OTT at times but overall a very enjoyable series. I’m glad I watched the whole thing.
