    Still 'bitting and bobbing' but I have had lunch - celery and swedish bread spread with Extra Light Laughing Cow Cheese and coffee and an orange (sound familiar SW peeps?)

    So I am off on a HHC WITH MY TIMER in my living room and I am not going to stop until the bell goes...

    12:50 HHC anyone?
    wanders off to find timer...

    I've been to get my meds with my support worker and am now having lunch so I can take them!
    Going to make a start on the LR floor in a mo while watching Ugly Betty (or trying to, we don't have good reception here for C4 and the recording is abysmal! But am enjoying it anyway!)

    Took me a whole hour but I've sorted all of the assorted bags/carrier bags/junk piles in the study - I know they weren't on pigpen's list but I could see them waving at me out of the corner of my eye - this is definately my most persistant hotspot but looking good for the mo'.

    I have been having a good day so far but of course it never lasts!!

    And to top it all off, tax credits have stuffed up!!! My award notice has not been delivered yet, and kids are back to school tomorrow! I was told that their names would be on the list for free school meals tomorrow and now I get told that their names are not on the list!!! Because tax credits cant send info out! And they are refusing to email it to me, which would have sorted the problem out:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:. Thankfully I have £20 at my mum;s for emergencies, so will have to use that to pay for the school meals this week. Am blooming furious!!!

    Right am off to tackle some of the laundry mountain that is sitting upstairs, and get the schoolbags ready! See you all in a bit!

  • Hi all

    Been busy so this is the first chance I've had to get on. Have been flying kitchen and my bedroom done. Bedroom done due to A: the roof was leaking again and B: my bed has fallen apart so OH away to pick up a new one.

    Piper went to school no problem apart from she didn't like the fact the boys went 30 minutes earlier than her today!

    Off now to get the list I'm meant to be doing today. Will be back soon (ish).:rolleyes:
