    Aaaaahhhhh. D2 was sick last night in the wee small hours (it's the one thing I can't clean up), any way managed to get the worst of it done and just need to get everything washed. The washing machine has decided to play silly !!!!!!s and not work. Its doing the same thing as last time and when the chap eventually came out he couldn't find anything wrong with it. Felt like real numpties.

    Took the dog for a walk last night to try and burn off kiev and chips. I'm working today and then got to pick up DS2. Was going to take the 3 youngest school shoe shopping and go to Lidl. DS1 has said his school shoes still fit so perhaps later on I'll get him a new pair. He needs some trainers for PE.

    The weather forecast was supposed to be nice here but its that horrid drzzly rain that makes you soaked when you've only gone 5 paces from the door.

    Hopefully going to get some more hens as we are down to 4 and hope to go back upto 20.

    OH has managed to mend the wm. Weather pulled its socks up and has been nice this arvo. Had a long shift at the other job 12.30-5 and cream crackered now. Friend washed DD2s bedding and dried it for me.

    DS2 is back from sleepover and haven't a clue where DS1 is, considering he was supposed to be home at 3.30 I'm not impressed. Have tried phoning him but no reply. Going to throw some pizza and garlic bread down the chaps neck and then collapse.

    Have managed to buy 3 pairs of school shoes and 1 pair of trainers. Still need a PE bag, Ds1 school coat and trainers and then we are about done. Have also bought myself a new slow cooker and used that tonight. Did gammon in it and it just dropped to bits it was lovely. Stayed the same at fat class this week and in view of last weeks events I was pleased. I had my old boy PTS on Thursday and have been in bits.

    OH took the quad and the tack today ready to go for auction on Saturday. Work is ok at the mo and its payday on Wednesday. I haven't got as many hours in as normal due to the summer hols and will try from Septembers pay to use my wages for the debt.
