Evening everyone.

Just had a quick whizz through the thread as I had to catch up from last night.

I was ill last night so went to bed.

Then the builder rang and came ten minutes later. Pleased about that as my chimney will get sorted.

My DB rang tonight to say he is coming down next week. He lives in Aberdeen.

Hope you are feeling better today boddy!

thats good news about the chimney - you must be relieved.

Your brother coming gives you something nice to look forward to? Will you be able to spend time with him?

Can you put soda crystals AND vinegar in or just one of them?

boddy

toots Im ok today I think it was something I ate.

When we had that bad weather up here I heard stuff coming down the chimney. The pot is cracked so they are taking that off and repointing the stack.

Have a couple of days off when my brother is here.

My HHC was not very productive. I had just done washing out all the bins and getting the bags and shake n vac in when... all hell broke loose next door. Mum was screaming for DS1 to get the younger kids outside and keep them busy and then there was screaming like you wont believe. Stuck my head out the window and she asked me to call 999. Ex had arrived drunk and was causing trouble. I had the kids leave by the side door and got them all up in my lounge to play with DS for a bit whilst DF went over to see what he could do. Apparently the ex had "come to take the kids and wasn't leaving without them. Police have just been but now she's very scared so she's over here now. Fed all the kids (there are 6 of them) a whip up of two minute noodles and tinned meatballs and now the youngest is in the bath with DS,DF and mum (DF and mum are in the bathroom-kids are in the bath). Think I'll let them stay overnight if she likes. She says all the house mates have gone out and she's not expecting them back until early hours.

Had a look at the list and now I dont feel so bad about the kitchen. Ill just do what I can and cross it off tomorrows list. Need to add a few things of my own but will wait till the house quiets down.

Dinner's in the oven (it seems to be getting later and later every night at the moment unless we have something quick) and I'm about to start changing the sheets - I believe my record time is 8 minutes from start to finish, including hoovering the mattress, so I'll see if I can do it faster than that this time. Fingers crossed!

Will probably say goodnight to you all now, as I've got dinner, and Hells Kitchen USA planned in the next couple of minutes.

Night all,

Just spotted your post Polkadot - what a kind neighbour you are! Hope you all sleep well.

Polka, you are such a good neighbour - hope the kids wern't too upset and have calmed down now... take care...

Toots - thanks for worrying about me, but I really needed to get it done - sometimes you just have to plod it out eh... (oooh, I'm such a hero - NOT, ha ha,) just glad it's done - it's been sitting there for 2 months and came to a head when colleague lost all info off phone - this will upload to outlook and then onto phone - hence had to be done...

PigPen Hope the college went well tonight - I know when I went away for a course for the week I was shattered every night - all that learning does you in until you get used to it again - good luck and well done for going through with it. :T

Evening all, sorry been a rather hectic day inc dropping off a broken PC (I think DP broke it, he said he didn't) shopping and such like. Some flying done but a bit annoyed as I'd left washing out, went to a meeting and it rained, of course DP didn't get it in, grrr!

Meeting, quite important one, all day tomorrow, get to meet DS2s ed psych who we haven't met yet but me and her boss have volunteered to be part of the pilot project hehe she'll hate me already. Anyway must do a little notes for that tonight, then bed as early as possible, must try to fit in a shower before the kids get up in the morning.

Polka what a drama it is great that there are people like you to help and not just turn a blind eye.

DS1 not asleep yet, complaining he is cold, most unlike him, so have sorted out the spare duvet and given him another lot of ibups.

Going to do a bit of ironing now and then call it a day. Tomorrows's Dahlia trip has been postponed until Friday as I now have the joy of the fracture clinic where about 10 people get given the same appointment time!

Triker

Blinkin eck, just looked online as I have to renew the childrens passports and it'll be £46 for the youngest and £72.00 for the eldest.:eek:
