Ajmoney - hope things are ok with OHs dad, if you're anything like me now you've got a diagnosis you'll become an expert on the condition. Sometimes it's better to know as much as possible. Hugs to you all.

Blimus - yeahhhhh regarding the MOT xx

Holly - good luck for Monday.

I've now got to take a trip to the vet - tea bag has an eye infection in both eyes now. I've been doing the cooled, boiled water routine but they've got worse. Bless her! I've phoned the rescue centre and they've said get her seen to and they'll pay the bill. If it's not too much i'll pay it as I don't want to use their money up but if it turns out expensive i'll have no choice. Mmmmm.....why are all our animals demics!

Talking of vets....stripes has an other xray tomorrow and then she gets a lightweight cast. If she wasn't so energetic they'd have considered taking it off next week but it's not worth it when she's still having mad moments!!!

Right, HHC for me, slightly later for 445 to 515 but that's the story of my life today.

Hugs to all xx

Mudbath

Oooohhhh - Hex, i'm with you! xx

I have been houseworking:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:

i bet you are all shocked:rotfl:

But I felt a burst of energy and didnt want to waste it so..........

• all the un-ironables are put away
• DD's spare bed has been emptied of clothes
• clean ones put away
• dirty ones in washing pile:mad:
• found my rucksack for the weekend ( it still has clothes in from last time:o:D)
• DS grudgingly hoovered the bathroom floor as he was doing his bedroom:cool:
• filled a bag for charity shop
• and a full bag for the bin
• and a half bag, so far which, if I just picked all the rubbish off DD's floor would be filled in nano-seconds:mad:

still a way to go though, I may get back to it after dinner:p

pigpen

I have.. paid some bills!!

I need still to pay.. half the mortgage, gas, electric and mine and DD1's mobiles but everything else is up to date.. children benefit goes in on Monday so will cover most of that lot and I'll then be right up to date with everything..

XH gave me £170 this month which has paid the overdraft payment.. I am going to slap him with the CSA when I go to uni because I have a feeling I'll need every penny I can get.. and he can get his new/latest woman to pay her fair share on their nights out and holidays in Barcelona and whatever other stupid activities he can afford to do when I am scrimping to put food on the table!

I'm going to do a spot of my christmas shopping now and some food shopping.. Food shopping is money I already have and christmas shopping is what I have saved and made from selling stuff.

jobs for today...

kick DD1 because I've been asking her to go to shop for the last 2 hours.. it might not be so bad if the shop was not all the way at the end of the street a massive 2 minutes walk!!
Feed kitties
Feed chillies
load WM, DW, TD, BM
pair up a pile of sockies
Demand to have my camera placed in my hand.. not sure who had it last but I want to get some ebay pics done.. and see if I can actually log in to ebay.. it keeps flicking me back to the log in page every time I try!

So far.. I've done nowt!

Pigpen - re the CSA. Probably know this already but they do not back date payments, and it takes them 'up to' a month to make contact with XH. When you phone them to ask them to process the claim, write and confirm what was said and send it recorded delivery. Then 52 weeks on they can't tell you you didn't ring, they haven't processed it and there are no arrears.

HHC - I have tidied the kitchen yet again, thrown together a quark quiche, made tea for the children, jumped up and down in the overflowing black bin and put the WM on.

ajmoney

Mudbath - Thanks for your wishes. None of us are sure that he should be going home but the powers that be seem to think he is capable and I guess they know best, the next job is making sure he has made a will before he is unable to.

I have gone from having a lot left to do to just having today's stuff to catch up on. Decided to reward myself with a cup of tea but we haven't got any milk OH is bringing some in.

Seeing as I have done most of my bathroom stuff today I am going to try and get the cupboard and shelves done in there so I can concentrate on the other bedroom tomorrow. I have about 30 mins till OH is due back so I am going to have an HHC so...

HHC now 5.40 - 6.10 anyone?
