    washing folded

    towels and sheets on radiators

    rubbish binned

    big stuff, big pans in soak in sink.

    DD1 handed some more work in today. Still more to do but a lesson learned here methinks.

    She has been working solidly since tuesday dinner time on her outstanding coursework to be fair but it is her own fault for leaving it so long. What she didn't count on was her mentor at school being the Head and ringing myself and OH asking where her work was???:eek:


    Going to seriously think about doing a car boot this weekend, weather is suposed to be nice and it would get rid (hopefully) of so much stuff and galvanise us into action.

    Not promising but will give it some proper thought.:D



    Anyway fancy some fun tonight so may go out with OH for a drinky later.:beer:

    Mozzy, poor you, I've failed miserably today on the flying front, though did research garden furniture and woodburners and go to smellyfield.

    Toots hope you are ok, is it 4 or 5 out of 13?

    Rosepink you must be on the up, you sound very positive. Cut up the cards, to soften the blow, tell him it is til you have both saved x amount as a buffer/rainy day fund?
    hex hope today went well, I failed to pick up what it was, but fingers crossed.

    lots of love, all and a happy weekend xxx

    does anyone know where to get a funky mop and bucket??

    gotta love waitrose, they charged me two £1.39 s instead of one, and sent me a five pound voucher, customer service plus!

    Jo can you post a bigger pic of the doggie person? since losing my dog, I have have become auntie to a 7 month springer spaniel, who moshes all over the cream sofa :eek::eek:
    Please do not confuse me with other gratefulsforhelp. x

    Most of the washing is dried and ironed - apart from the pants that fell out of a sweatshirt sleeve in a moist ball - they are blowing on the line now (and will be ironed later - I know, but they are DDs and cotton and NEED ironing)

    **grumble**
    DS's football team (well some of) went on a tour to Holland for 5 days on the Sunday before Easter. I was asked to hand in his top so that they could take it with them. he brought a top back last night ready for Sunday's game - not his but a team top nevertheless. It was filthy. Definitely had not been washed, was all screwed up. So I have had to wash it. I really do think that he should have been given a washed top back or at the very least an apology...presumably the manager had all the tops so he could have whizzed them through a wash...if he'd asked I'd have washed the lot...but it's a bit last minute as DS only got this top last night.

    Evening everyone,

    OMG what a day I've had!!:rolleyes: Sorry **WHINGE ALERT**

    Started off as you know with only 4 hours sleep. Just made it to work in the car, the one with the knackered clutch. Left to do my round, got halfway to the first drop and realised I'd forgotten the IOU sheet:rolleyes:, went back and got it. So then I was really up against it to get the first part of the round done and be on time for our 10.00 am drop. Did it though, and picked the buffet up to deliver on the way back as well.:cool::D

    Finished the round getting soaked in the process:rolleyes:. Went to Cash and Carry. They didn't have two of the things that were needed:rolleyes: Got back. Got in the car to drive home and didn't think I'd even get out of the car park to start with:eek: It would not go into reverse and when it did it clunked very loudly:eek: Luckily I got home, driving most of the way in 3rd gear, cos that was the only one that didn't make this horrendous grinding/rattling noise:eek::rolleyes:.
    Oh and I bought 10 fags as well.:o:o:o:o:o I am so angry with myself:mad::mad::mad::mad:

    So got home. Mr Tag said sorry for being horrid to me last night before he went to bed and gave me a :kisses3:.

    Got in the car to go shopping and this grinding/rattling was so bad when Mr Tag started the car that the whole car shook:eek: So I guess it's well and truly caput now. There's no way we can afford to fix it.:rolleyes:

    Went shopping and the budget just went straight out the window because a) I was starving and b) I was to knackered to care what was going in the trolley:rolleyes:

    Came home. Stuffed my face, ate chocolate, went upstairs to read my book and for some P & Q and promptly feel asleep until 6.00pm:rolleyes:

    There..........thank you..........I now feel a bit better having got that lot off my chest!!

    So on a flying front a big fat zilch!!!!
