I have also been to Focus (with Mum 10% off) and bought paint for DS room
Got out DD's guide uniform, removed nametapes and offered it on Freecycle
Still got some to do
But phoned exH re CSA arrears to be told he has paid them to CSA in full so the new bathroom suite with replacement shower looks like a possibility - when it comes. I'm not holding my breath but it was the most civilized conversation (no swearing) for about 3 and a half years so that was good - I normally have to psych myself up to phone him.

Mudbath - glad osteopee ain't the cause

Dusty - I 'lost' my son from when he was about 16 to when he was about 19. The monster that took his place for those years was almost unbearable. But he's my son again now.
Spent about an hour on the phone to BT this morning and finally got things sorted. Mind you, my blood pressure was v. high for a while afterwards. But, as compensation for all the messing me around, they've reduced my fee by £3 per month for the next yearAlso took out RAC breakdown membership through Quidco this morning (my AA membership ran out last week) so that should be another £40 back eventually.
Now I need to go and sort out the living room..... which ain't too bad really.I am the leading lady in the movie of my life
