Evening all - have I missed anything?

My boss was incredibly understanding about my inability to take care of Molly and Husband while working, and when he learned that Husband's not an inpatient cause he doesn't have insurance he pointed out that Boss has good contacts with the head of the relevant department and he's quite happy to pull strings so we don't have to pay. I'm so relieved.

My mother's here and is trying to do lots of stuff for me. I really appreciate it, especially after I called her almost in tears because I just couldn't cope, but bizarrely I'm annoyed that she's always trying to help! I'm a strange fish really.

Massive to do list that I'm working on while she's here to play with Molly so I can have my hands free in daytime. The main problem is that almost everything I need to do is in the living room, which is where she and Molly have settled in for the night.

Second round of injections at 10am tomorrow

RANT ALERT

Did I mention how much IL's are doing my head in? :mad:



They left on Monday and said 'We'll see you again at the end of the month' - they don't ask they just assume they can come. They also always manage to break something when they come - MIL was pulling the washing machine door and I shouted 'There's a time delay, the light will flash' 'I've not touched it'! Bl00dy liar I could hear her doing it and the same with the oven - she asks how to use it, I say I'll be there now. She's done something because you now don't hear the gas when it comes on :mad:

Also end up spending more when they come cos they want to do stuff or fix stuf.

So far they have broken the door handle on the downstairs loo, the handle on the baset drawer in the freezer, the gate handle and the garage door!

I spy a pattern!!!
Poor you. I get cross because my MIL comes to look after Benjamin and cleans my stove and takes away my ironing to iron it

Just listening to Tim Minchin on Youtube will I [STRIKE]cook[/STRIKE] decide what to cook - he's so funny!

He does a song about Christmas and his baby girl that will make you cry! Something about drinking white wine in the sun....
Edit - I was thinking about AF all the time he was singing it....

Hiya Caz - we miss you!!
