Afternoon all :wave:

I'm still gutting the house in an attempt to make it habitable enough to move back into at the end of the month. Valli x

HANG ON! House, end of the month = no more caravan! Really? That is amazing news, so pleased for you, especially with winter coming. We need to raise a little toast to you on moving in day.

Hope you enjoy the meal Bossy.

Tired. BUT I went to the gym first thing before the madness of work. Went to the shops then Li@l then home to crack on with more paid stuff. DH is painting, its too wet for him to work and DS1 is home early because his boss also sent him home - its grim out there. He is supposed to be doing some coursework.

So I am hoping someone else can take care of tea while I earn us some money.

I dont really do the boys rooms, they are big enough to do their own but I will have a little tidy and gather up some laundry later.

But first there is work to be done.

DD after school sports club was cancelled due to rain so we are all tucked up on the sofa, they have their tablets and I'm watching an old episode of Friends

It's grey here so we will all be putting pjs on soon.

YL - your post from yesterday about feeling adrift & how fragile things are really resonated with me. It's how I often feel, which is sad.

Dizzy - keep on keeping on love, you're sooooo close now you must be delighted xx

Have lovely evenings all xx

I'm back from work, there was actually a clean mug for my first cup of tea (I won't drink the stuff at work because we're too stupid to be trusted with kettles and real boiling water, so have those boiler thingies on the wall that spit steam and drip everywhere, just because they heat water to a temperature too low to make palatable tea, as that's apparently 'safer') and the house is peaceful.

He's locked away in a recording studio somewhere in London since 10am and will be there until stupid o'clock, which means I have only myself to please/feed/entertain.

Dumped the blob of meat related product in the cats' bowls, put the kettle on and, rather than doing anything useful here, I think I might grab my gym bag and trundle off down there for the evening, finishing off with the sauna, steam room and jacuzzi before walking back just as Wait rose have put their YS goods on the shelves. Which means I should have a decent lunch tomorrow.


Today's offerings were pitiful. A sandwich bag of celery and carrots, followed by a 'Simple Salad' bowl from Mr T, which translates as the peelings from cabbage, lettuce, carrot and 0.057 of a red pepper with no protein, fat, dressing - or flavour, apparently.

I will also, assuming I can find a clean plate and a pan, have something nice for dinner when I get back. I reckon I've got about 7,500kcals going spare from the last week, so I don't think I need to worry about whether it's particularly healthy or virtuous tonight.

My steam cleaner is home :happyhear:happyhear:happyhear
It was delivered to work.
My colleagues are much amused by my delight in it!
I've also had a very tricky phone call...boss much amused by my controlled anger and absolute denial of cashing the cheque and my accusation against the bank staff because if someone's had it away with the PTA money it has to have been someone at their end.

Now marking or steam mopping.?
:rotfl::p

I've had curry too, with SW curry sauce, mushrooms and leftover chicken. Nyom

Sorry to hear your news Narco.

And Valli I love new household gadgets.

DS2 has a really bad stomach bug, poor love. Hoping it doesn't go around us all. I am in bed, 15 minutes reading and I will be asleep.

atb you know the worst of it? The better things get for DS1 the more I worry that it will all go wrong.

Sorry, random, brain fuddled post. Time to put this away.
