    Ay kaz,
    Would love to see what your spellings like after a bottle of wine ;):D

    Well DD is in bed washed, hair washed and watching Rapunzel. Did the last little bit of ironing whilst she was in the bath and sorted all the dirty washing, Plus hung a load in the airing cupboard which should be dry by morning.

    So just waiting for the delights that Pigpen is going to throw at us all for tomorrow:T

    Hex I sent you a face book request but did not put a message on so you probably are wondering who it was from!

    Mess cleaned up. Big two just watching top gear whilst scoffing fruit salad. I am dreading the amount they are going to eat during the holidays. I am going to need to stock up big time and get baking daily.

    Kaz, thankyou for making me giggle, :rotfl: did you dip your hands in the glass? because your fingers appear to be drunk.
    g&b and prettypennies, it always upsets me to hear of when people are dishonest, more so when they know the thing they have taken is for children.
    juliejim that happens here with the clothes amongst toys, down the back of the bed etc, drives me nuts!
    annelouise, you've just confirmed something I have been thinking a lot today, money doesn't buy everthing. DPs been driving me insane saying he wants to have more money and a better career but can't find anything. My friend's hubby is a director for a large company and she describes herself as money rich but very poor because they never spend time together etc. I do have the 'people who mind don't matter and the people who matter don't mind' as a signature on a few of the forums I use as it definately is the case with 2 boys with special needs, you certainly learn who your real friends are. **just wish I had the cash for a fern style band!!**
    Pigpen congratulations to your cousin and his wife :)

    OI!!!! Mrs Penelope Penguin, stop confusing me dumping peoples posts in here :rotfl: Just kidding of course, nice to see you pop in, even if you're just doing your job!

    Right well studying didn't go well, DS2 trundled in from the garden after standing in doggy doo, when I went out to clean up I struggled to find it in the long grass so dragged the mower out. 5 hours later (as I had to cook dinner etc in the middle) I have finished.

    Just had a barney with DP, I tried being nice asking him to be a bit more supportive but he just threw a huge paddy instead. Said many things, one being he was going to work every hour he could so I'd have to do everything myself, then that ok he'd do everything but the laundry and cooking (because he can't even make himself a meal) haha can see that happening, he then sat down in the middle of his mess and has done nothing since. Complaining he's aching, don't know how he dares. I've just really had enough of being a one person show at the minute, bit sick of life TBH, I just want to better myself, do something for me, but because of what I do for others I don't have the time.

    Right, enough moaning, just finishing my dinner (had to wait for mine as was doing the garden) then back on with the studying, wish me luck!
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    Lil-me - you're sounding really fed up - find your diary and book yourself some me time in it. Next time DP has a day off tell him you're going out for the day and he can see to the kids, dogs, etc. Huge hugs shug.
