    Morning everyone

    Twinkly Tuesday - Done

    Weekly Challenge - No's 1, 2 and 4 are all done [impressed with myself a little bit]

    Chunky79 - lovely picture - your DD looked beautiful
    Fedup - Huge hugs
    Me - phone the Doc's, please
    Toots - take it easy lovely lady

    We've just had the water bill in OMG - am definately NOT growing our own in the garden, in pots next year, the bloomin bill has doubled nearly so our payments are going from £49 a month to £81. Heavon knows where we are going to find the extra money for that as DH is a Teaching Assistant so on rubbish pay, I work part time [can't find full time employment] and get no CSA as ex has lost his job and can't be bothered to get off his backside and get some more work, I got very angry typing that all out - sorry - rant over but all this financial headache is starting to worry me. We got some M & S vouchers for a wedding pressie and we are seriously considering buying food with them as we have no money at the mo - right thats it rant is defo over now

    Hope everyone has a lovely lovely day and that you all get what you wish for
    Hugs to everyone
    Helen

    Hi everyone,
    I seem to be struggling since we went sstc. My house just seems to be covered in boxes and things to be sorted out! Am sick of the kids too undoing everything I seem to do so I will be aiming for level 1 i think before we go on holiday on Saturday.
    Hope everyone is well, we seem to be stressed constantly due to solicitors, estate agents, inspectors and the like. I just want my lovely house sold! On the upside I have lost 3 and a half pounds at slimming world due to stressing i think!
    I will try to read back and catch up on everyones news, have been missing you all!:kisses:

    Toots I hope you have a quiet and restful day today. DS3 pinched my laptop last night so I missed out on the late afternoon and evening on here yesterday.

    DD and I are going to have a gentle walk along the railway line this afternoon to see if it helps my sciatica. Around here it is all hills and rough ground in the fields.

    DH has s and s all loos, kitchen and bathrooms and living room to stop me making my back worse today. He even sorted and put all clothes away last night. he didn;t do our bedroom though!! I have to be good today an leave the bed to someone else.

    1.Clear my room of all DS2s 'stuff' we cleared out last week and get him to bin or burn most of it.Partly done. He has promised to finish tonight.
    2. Clear and clean window ledges in study/spare room
    3. Weed 1/4 of front garden. It is tiny but I don't want ot overdoit again.
    4. Clear one desk in study.
    5. Clear one arm chair in study. Then we can sit in there again.

    Rather forced myself to do these, as I'm completely exhausted today for some reason. Just had a coffee, and will pop into town after dropping DS1 at school to hand in his books and do all the signing off bit. I need to buy a birthday card for a friend and pick up the passport forms. I've checked online, and it seems to be quicker to do it through the Post Office. I just hope that they don't need interviews - it isn't at all clear if children renewing when they'll be 18 before the passport runs out need an interview??:confused: Not sure if that counts as a first adult passport or not. With a bit of luck, I'll still be able to get away for a week before the end of the holiday.

    mudbath - hope that doesn't mean you're completely disappearing for the summer!!

    chunky - you have a gorgeous DD! Love the dress.

    gsysezz - Happy birthday for yesterday!:bdaycake:

    toots - look after yourself.





    It is never too late to become what you were always intended to be
