You know I think I'm having groundhog day Friday. This time last week I'd had a hissy fit about cooking, guess what........sat in hairdressers get the phone call what's for tea and are you getting fish and chips? EEErrrr nope. Try beans on toast. Wouldn't care but I'd left the recipe book open on Jambalaya and all the ingredients were in the fridge. Apparently OH had only been home half an hour before going into work. !!!!!!, you can achieve so much in that time. Completely hissed off and feel taken for granted. Had a major moan at DD1, which wasn't very fair of me but I really have had enough and could quite happily leave for a week or 2.
Youngest 2 have been to the school disco and were supposed to have packed their stuff for camp. Just been in DS2s room and his is all over his floor. He thought I'd be back at 5 so I could do it. Told him its one night and to get on with it. He could've asked OH to do it in his half hour. God I'm so fed up. Diet has gone out the window and I'm certainly comfort eating. In fact I feel sick I've eaten such crap.
Paid £130 off the debt and the bill for the oil has arrived today. Yippee!!!

Be careful what you wish for Stripes. Had word with OH this morning when he came in. Genuinely can't see what he's done and thought he was being helpful by suggesting fish and chips.

Have spent most of the day doing the business books. Feel good now they are up to date. My car has been showing symptons of poorliness, using lots of oil, losing power and hardly any hot heating. Today the engin management light came on. In other words car is heading for ICU and loads of wonga. Car is due a checkup in April (aka MOT). Big sigh.
Went to look at another house today, not to be. The whole place was chokka with stuffed gorillas, model railways, model kits and jigsaws. Went in 1 room and he said there is an en-suite but you would have to take his word for it as you couldn't get near. Would take him 12 months to move out.

Well yesterday was interesting to say the least. Up early for an early start at work, decided to check Peter Kay tickets to see what time we had to be off. Could I find the bloody things, NO. OH searched all morning, couldn't remember which website I'd bought them off. Spent most of the morning trawling through old emails looking for the purchase one. Couldn't find it. Managed to log into OHs credit card account and find the transaction. Phoned the site who uuumed and arrrhhhd. Eventually managed to arrange to get the tickets from the box office. OH was in that area so he called in to collect them, couldn't get them until 6.30 that night. Went to get them at the alloted time and forgot piece of paper I'd written details on. OH had his credit card and ID so did manage in the end. Had a really good night and my ribs hurt this morning.
Can't believe its only Tuesday feels like it should be Thursday. DS2 is struggling with a cold and I'm half expecting a phone call to pick him up. Might let him stay off Scouts tonight and give him ana early night. Skiing and cmaping have caught up with him.
OH, DS1 and DD2 are going to a machinery sale next weekend. DS2 should be going to a friends when I get it arranged. DD1 is coming with me to wash up/wait on. Hoping to find a white shirt for her. If anybody has a spare one for a petite 13 year old I'll pay postage.
