I'm still here waiting for OH to come back and take SDs home:rolleyes: . He was supposed to be staying with his Sisters but they went out and i wasn't going to let him stay in the house on his own. So now he's asleep on the sofa:rolleyes: . I'm actually getting a bit worried as OH said he'd be home at 11.30 and i've rung his mobile twice and got no answer and sent 2 texts. I want to go to bed. I think i'm going to check the train times.

Train times checked and the last one has been and gone ages ago.:eek:

Edit - He's answered his phone he's very drunk and has missed the last train home:mad: . He's going to have to get a taxi:eek: . SDS is going to have to stay here which he doesn't want to and is now crying:rolleyes: . And i was supposed to be having an early night. Right i'd better sort this out i'm not a happy bunny:mad: .

Ooooo heck Holly, I wouldn't like to be in your DHs shoes tomorrow! Can he not just stay with someone where he is to save it costing you's a fortune aswell as the inconvenience? Can someone else pick the boy up if he's really upset (after all it's not his fault or yours)

Holly.. SDS is just going to have to put up with it.. OH can't take him home if he is drunk.. I'd tuck SDS up in bed with the promise he can go home first thing in the morning... and I'd have OH out of bed at about 8am.. lol...

Morning, just in from work and thought i'd catch up with you all, i am knackered and going to crawl into my pit in a minute.

Thanks for all your kind wishes for LO. She is still in hospital as she is not maintaining her oxygen levels, sitting at about 85% when not on oxygen so not ideal. Will see how she is tomorrow whether they let her home.

Great news about Matthew Lil_me.
Big hugs for Lady Liberty and anyone else who wants one.
Goodnight.

Morning All

Well I'd like to get some wrapping done today if I can persuade DH to take the kids out for a bit!

I'm going to sort the washing out in a bit and wash up - don't know what else I'll get done today. Need to hoover and stuff really; and I'd like to get the tubs aout from under my bed, sort them out and hoover, but I have more pressing jobs really plus I don't know whether I can hoover under the bed!

Hope everyone has a good day

Holly - Hope you got SDS sorted and crowned DH.

LL - hope you're in a little less pain today.

G&B - hope LO's oxygen levels improve today and she can come home.

Morning everyone

Haven't caught up with the thread yet. I will try and do that in a minute.

I went to bed at 8.30 last night. Totally pooped.

DD room is coming along. Didn't go quite as planned. All the walls have been painted twice. But the two bright pink ones need at least a third coat. I'm not 100% that I like the colour now. To me, it doesn't look anything like it does on the tin. I think it looks more of a plummy red. Waiting for proper daylight so I can make a final decision. DD says she likes it though ,so we'll have to see.

We didn't get the glossing done. So still have that to do today. But I did clean the carpet last night. Took ages, but I gave it a really good going over. Looks alot better than it did. Bearing in mind that's the first time it's been cleaned in four years. You should have seen the two buckets of dirt, dust, grit and goodness knows what else that came out of it.

So fingers crossed all the painting will be complete in there today and we can start moving /swapping stuff over. DS new room won't take long. Literally just need to paint the walls and that's it. All the glossing and the ceiling were only done 3 mths ish ago.

Off to get DD some brekkie and then I'll try and catch up with the thread.

11.47am Ditto above just with alittle less paitence in voice
12.18pm I will agree there is a problem with washer
2.48pm Mrs OJ reminds me again of problem with washer
3.12pm Washer is now in 18 peices on utility room floor
4.58pm Washer now working again
5.32pm DD3 has given up 6 peices of washer that were in her nappy

DAY 3

10.24am Mrs OJ is in A&E with electric shock burn and soggy socks
11.45am I am in currys deciding which is best washer
12.54pm BAck in currys changing washer for one less than £800
2.47pm Washing finally gets washed

I was wondering if this was Mr Tag posting in disguise. But in view of the facts that all this would occur over three days, I know it's def not Mr Tag. It would take him at least 3 weeks:rotfl::rotfl:

GnB - Hope there some improvement for LO today and she can come home. Fingers crossed.

WOW you are doing well:T
Always difficult to judge by the colour on the tin but if DD likes it suppose that is the main thing.
