Pinch punch, first of the month
Well done jjef :j
I got a reply almost immediately and apology :rolleyes: . Hmm, wasnt expecting one so soon. Someone will be appointed to investigate my complaint, so I'll be making notes about everything, including the work related stress, the lack of contact ie none! while I've been off etc etc. I just hope they come out to see me next week when BF is here on holiday. He is furious. He works in the public sector as well and is a manager and cannot believe the goings on.
Valli - thank you, that was a lovely thing to say
Sarahshattered - hope DD3 is better this morning, poor love
I have been very busy this morning

Morning all
One load of washing out on the line, it's mostly sunny but a few spots of rain every now and then.
Dusted living room and vacuumed through downstairs.
Went over to shops and collected DH's prescription and paid the paper bill.
DS is coming home today for the weekend, haven't seen him since May and the last time he was down here was March.0 -
Parents are coming over in a sec on their way to their holiday in Bath, so that they can pick up my SatNav. OMG I haven't even got dressed yet. Need to wash my hair before I do, so no time now. They said they were coming round early so I didn't bother before now.
Have found lots of presents in my bedside cupboard. Have done the cupboard part now, and the door now closes, but still need to do the shelf above the cupboard, and dust the top. There are lots of tubes of various medications eg antiseptic, antihistamine etc etc. Need to round them all up and put them in my medical drawer. Also got some old books that I've read that I may add to the things to sell. Really we could do our own garage sale when we move with the amount of stuff we have to get rid of.Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.I married Moon 8/4/2011, baby boy born 26/9/2012, Angel Baby Poppy born 8/11/15, Rainbow baby boy born 11/2/20170 -
