T-Bird Anni Rides Again

someone on one of the US based Yahoo groups I’m on has a little moan at the awful high price of their petrol.  Now, I know I should just ignore it but sometimes I can’t and I have to do the maths for them.  You see, currently fuel is $3-$4 or there abouts for 1 US Gallon in most of the US whereas, if you convert our prices to $ per USG it works out at a whopping $8  at which point I have limited sympathy!

I got most of the Rainbows "to Do" list finished but not the pass the parcel which turned out to be fine as we ran over by 15 minutes without added party games!  Next meeting is my enrollment night, wonder if I get a party for that?  Well, everyone else gets a party, why shouldn’t I? 

I ended up doing some stamping and "decoupage" (cutting out and stacking up layers of pictures is what we used to call it but aparently it went all posh a few years ago!)  for mum’s Easter card so that’s my place in the will ensured until next card-giving forgetfulness incident (I was a day late with the Mothering Sunday card, which considering I was away is impressively un-late in my eyes!  you could have welded with the letter she sent me in retaliation)  Washing didn’t go out though, it was too chilly for wet washing on my thin skin (my hands don’t need any excuse to get all split and sore!) so that will get hung up in doors to give that wonderful winter aroma of wet washing round the house! 

That leaves me getting a grip on the OU stuff.  The tutor has e-mailed me the notes from Saturday’s tute so I shall read them, plod through the course book (skipping any suplimentary reading etc) and aim for a bare pass on the next TMA so I can claw back on track, Pass 3 again would be lurvely but Pass 4 (bare pass) would be perfectly acceptable!   I will get through this….. I will not be wilting with a cold for the rest of the year and therefore i will catch up at some point!

But anyway, Torchwood is on in a bit and there is chocolate calling my name from downstairs! 

For Rainbows

wrap the passs the parcel

make jam butties

make choc spread butties

put CD player into the car so I don’t forget it this time!  And some music to play too!

put everything else into the car whilst I’m at it

decide if we are doing the easter cards during the evening or send them home with them (have bought felt tips for send homes but actually I think we could do them during the evening and use the little packs to replace all the grotty pens in the box)

 

 For the family

make easter card for Mother and POST IT TODAY so I don’t get written out of the will again - I had this plan using the egg shaped Hama board but it won’t work because the pegs are in all the wrong places (sigh)

dry some washing so Duke has clean undies for tomorrow!

drag child away from telly to actually do something vaguely productive (like make butties for Rainbows maybe?)

 

For me

sort out some sort of timetable to get something like back on track with OU or admit defeat and ask to be defered to the next presentation.  Next TMA is due on teh 29th March and as yet I havent even started reading the relevent block, let alone got any ideas on waht to write.  wibble wobble.  Does this sound familiar? 

So really I’d better get on and do something!
