    Hello hello hello, chaotic day so not had time to catch up, but I am home tomorrow so hope to be around more :) I hope you are all ok, hugs to those who need/want one

    Just a quick update, remember that meeting I was so annoyed by as I found out we were working on a service only available to the most extreme cases? That I lost the plot a little requesting they consider yet another service 20 times that number of children/families wouldn't be entitled to? Well commissioners have agreed with me it seems!!! YAY!!! Means instead of a positive impact on about 300-400 it could effect 6-7000! I'm so thrilled. Sorry if it's 'old news' to those who've already seen my FB status but just had to share.

    Anyway tomorrow is my only 'meeting free' day, got a lot of studying and laundry to catch up on aswell as housework which hasn't been touched.

    Catch up with you all tomorrow xxx
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    Morning everyone

    Lil-me - well done on what you've done re the commissioners etc.

    Colder here this morning but at least the rain has stopped. It was quite heavy last night.

    I see that today is the children's room/spare room. The kids room they do themselves and the front room was bottomed out at the weekend so I shall concentrate on the utility area I think. I did the floor last night but the shelves and things could do with a sort out.

    Have a lovely day people
