    Jinky - I hope your ADs help

    Having another toy sort, I find it sad sometimes getting rid of stuff all 3 have enjoyed, it is the end of that sort of 'figure' play.

    Post arrived so I have spent half an hour screaming, and then half an hour writing a stage two complaint to the CSA for DH to sign tonight. I 'd tell you about it but I might start frothing at the mouth again. Money owed to us for SS1, rather than us owing money.

    Need to do half an hour on the new bathroom as DH will no doubt want to lay the new stuff out later to see if it fits and to see what 'stuff' he needs.

    Off I go.....

    I have just caught up on posts, you guys get through a lot while I am at work.

    I came back ready and raring to go but the plumber is here as we have boiler issues. It gives me a great excuse to have a break first. Hope he won't be too long though. It is raining so I won't be washing the mats and shower curtain.

    Oh and the cakes I made yesterday are really dry, not sure what went wrong as normally they are fine. Must try harder next time.

    Congrats to all those with their exam results.

    DD has excelled in her GCSEs - far better than she was predicted, or thought she ould get :j Problem is, this puts her in a bigger quandry as to what to do next :confused: She's taken out her frustration on the lawn ;) and is now decoarating a hat for Leeds Festival, to finally decide :o

    Well done to Master Dusty :beer:

    I need to do something physical - so off for a HHC :j
