    Arrrghhhhh.

    OH has just gone out to go to dentist for clean & polish.....cue face like thunder....
    It seems that during the storm the other night...a lump of stone/render has jumped off the house and landed on the windscreen of his car.
    Couple of inches either way and it would have hit the wiper or plastic grill....but no...there's now 3 lovely cracks going up the screen.
    Last year it was a slate that did his van screen.

    It would seem that it's all my fault for wanting to live in this house....he's always wanted to sell.

    *pass me that frying pan & Sally get digging a bloody big hole*

    Can you maybe wear gloves?

    definitely try the gloves moisturiser thing when you go to bed.... assuming you don't sleep with hands in water... although i know you will be getting up in the night hun.....

    morning everyone, I've got a list as long as my arm for things to do today. I've also got to sort out a budget for the months too and bleedin well stick with it. The good news is that I have just emptied out my freezer to organise it better and honestly, there is enough food in there to feed the street for a month. The cupboard is just as bad, I seem to buy stuff without seeing what I have. So, other than bread and milk this month I am not going shopping.

    I've got to take the car to the garage tonight for its service and mot, ouch that's going to hurt. I need to sort out stuff to ebay because I have far too much clutter which I really don't need. I think I might sell the wii / wii fit and personal trainer. It's all well and good having them but no one ever uses it. I've got a ton of real nappies I've never used, had good intentions when I was pregnant but that's as far as it went.

    I need to get sony organised because they still haven't come back with an answer regarding fixing the stupid computer. I also got a leebruss take off buggy thinking it would be fab for travel but I hate it, can't get the thing to go up or down and it's too heavy, so that needs to be sent back and I'll just use the stroller (I sold the travel system).

    I also need to pick up Amber's tablets from the chemist, get some stuff out of the garage for the school fete and deliver that, tidy up the garden, phone the new club because I don't have a booking form. Send some stuff off to the uni and finish organising the paperwork for my bursary.

    Why am I sitting here drinking tea?


    oh hon, maybe I'm not that busy then, would give you a hand if I could

    Keep diggin, make room for one more.... he's only little, well 6'4 and 17 stone!

    That would solve a lot of problems here!

    should say i will be taking my frying pan too, but he'll need it for the next [STRIKE]poor cow[/STRIKE] woman who comes along....
