good grief I'm all done in! I think it's the heat!!

have tidied the kitchen for the umpteenth time today! resorted to using the DW which I try not to do (dunno why, I think OH moaned about it or summit!) because i CBA to wash it all by hand.

OFF TOPIC AND OUT-OF CHARACTER RANT WARNING
The kids are getting RIGHT on my ti:eek:s today! Not sure if that's me being hot or PMT... either way..much more and I might do something prosecutable!!! 8 yr old with teenager attitude(he decided today he wants a drum kit. I told him no and he stropped about, telling me it was his "lifelong dream" to play the drums!!! since bl**dy when????), 7 yr old who crys if I say no to ANYTHING, 4 yr old who has two speeds, dead slow and stop, and a 15 months who S C R E A M S all day (he's not crying he just screams and its so loud it actually hurts my eardrums. Somedays I wear earplugs its THAT bad and I'm not joking I really do)

I feel like drop-kicking them all down the street today, or putting them out in one of those charity bags we get through the door. Or maybe selling them on eBay!!!

RANT OVER THANK YOU

anyhoos... am all done for the day, another half hour and DS3 can [STRIKE]sod off to[/STRIKE] go to bed. Hour & 20 and the rest will be gone too. I intend to crash out on the sofa and spend the night flicking through the channels failing to find anything decent to watch!!!
I didnt crash out earlier as intended as OH beat me to it and fell asleep there too!!:rolleyes:

Much hugs to all

Hi folks!

Back from Dublin (which was lovely although Boyf's family can be a bit overwhelming and the weather was very humid). Flat needs gutting before we go up norf for my mum's 50th on the 6th.

I haven't caught up with the thread, I'm full of cold and staring at the screen is making my head hurt, sorry! Hugs to absolutely everyone, hope you are all very well.
