    I've decided I might have to re-jig my days of the week and hopefully I'll be able to get more done.
    I've had a really terrible week last week, work was horrible, I had to take my mum to have a C.T scan and are waiting for the results. I had to have my darling d!!! put to sleep and had a massive row with my estranged husband.
    My girls have been great and we worked together to start on the kitchen yesterday. So today I have to finish off the kitchen and make a giant start on the front room while waiting for the gas man to come.

    Morning everyone,

    No call this morning for work, so unless I get a call for the afternoon, I have a day off! woohoo!

    WM is on with the sheet from last week, and I'm off to the post office in a minute to post your parcel pigpen. (more decluttering to a good home)

    Glad to see that everyone is up and about and seem to be well, even if some things aren't behaving as they should (dirty clothes and disobedient dishwasher).

    After a cold and frosty start here, it's looking like it'll be a nice sunny day. If I'm not working this afternoon I think I'll go and pay a visit to my old neighbour from our flat, as I haven't seen her for a few weeks now, and I expect she'll be pleased to see someone. I also need to contact a couple of schools about application forms and visits.

    Right, just need to find some socks and then I can be off.

    ETA a big hug for Wendywitch! Hope this week is much better for you.
    Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.

    Two in school, one in bed looking rather green.

    Quote of the day from DS3:

    "I never get bored or asking question or talking"

    Like I hadn't noticed! Shame I don't get fed up of answering the questions really.

    Going to go and do a food shop straight away and will definitely spend an hour in the sunshine when it warms up a bit so lists for the week may need a rejig at the start

    G&B sorry my technical knowledge stops with the blowing, maybe post a thread and see if anybody can help you.

    Wendy hugs for you I hope this week is better

    Embb hope your DD is better soon
