    Oh you poor thing! Thats officially a nightmare, when your coffee maker deserts his post! I'm glad he's back soon, for all the usual reasons :D

    But not back until next Saturday and he is on an island so if the weather is bad he may not make it back it has happened before so I am praying for good weather next Saturday:D but I am saving money because normally the coffee machine is switched on all day and I have turned it off.:money:

    :money: We have to take what we can get, I suppose. Bummer, tho, both the OH-on-an-island bit, and the switched-off coffee machine bit. :eek:

    Mad busy today but I have achieved a lot probably due to the fact that I succumbed and had a cappuccino at McDs no starbucks or anything like that around here so that was the best I could do. Definitely decided I will buy my normal brand in decaff when I run out as to feel so horrible is not a good sign -but I am all perky and raring to go now:D

    Internet has been playing up again today if I managed to get on sites they were loading so slowly anyway resetting the router seems to have sorted it so I am madly catching up on scratchcards PAD etc.

    Well I thought I had posted a long post yesterday but it has disappeared :confused:

    A mad couple of days my OD is moving out I have mixed feelings about it I feel as it is a waste of money as she could be living at home for the next 12 months but I think because her twin brother will be leaving for university she felt she was missing out on the other hand she is so untidy to get rid of her stuff will be heaven:rolleyes:

    My younger twins told their daddy on the phone yesterday that they had tidied their room this consisted of them putting someof their toys in swing bin liners and carting them about the house I slept last night with a star cushion, Ariel and two Primrose dolls:rotfl:so today I thought I had better give their room a good go and I sorted out two bags of clothes that were too small thankfully they have plenty of clothes to last them over the summer so no expense there.:j

    Boiler has broken so the man is here but he is going tocombine it with our service which was almost due anyway and he is reasonable so I am not too worried about that.

    Won £5.25 in real money on scratchcards today and 10p bonus money so that was good it has been a long time since I have won a £5:j

    .

    Oh well onward I go

    That move must be quite mixed for you emotionally, DT - hope it all goes okay, on all levels.

    Haven't posted for a couple of days as life has been even madder than usual.

    transferred from a teenage girl's room to a teenage boy's room who supports Man U for our foster child who comes for one weekend a month. Been busy with him over the weekend including taking him to the cinema to see Night at the Museum 2 this afternoon not as bad a film as I feared.

    OH is home :j so I am now fully caffeinated again :D

    The house is amazingly tidy with all the kids bedrooms clean, tidy and sorted. The only things left to do are the airing cupboard and my office so I am really pleased with myself. DD has moved her desk out of my office so I have asked OH if he would use the office to do his work instead of the dining room and he has agreed just need to clear him some space now. This will help keep the house tidy as our dining room is also the hall and the dining room table became a dumping ground so this will make a big difference if I can keep this clear. I would really like to go for a minimalist look but this is impossible in an old house without enough storage and so many kids but I am doing my best.

    .

    Tomorrow is another busy day has I have two reviews with Social Services and I need to get some paperwork done and sent out.

    Debt busting is on a go slow at the moment as I don't have much money and payday is not until 31st July so I will have to go careful.

    That's all for now.

    DTxx
