Well done on the washing up rosepink - I know how hard it is for you some days

Thanks sweetie, that was just what I needed to see. Was thinking how useless I am and then saw your lovely post! Glad you are enjoying your Thorntons delivery!

Macpep well done on all you have achieved, ignore your DH, he is the mad one if he can’t see how much you have done!

Well, I've managed to do the bedding without using the tumble drier. There was a break in the showers so it all went out on the line in the strong breeze for about an hour and has finished off on the rads.

DS and DiL due soon for Sunday roast.

Book cull

:eek::eek::eek:

We bought some new ones today . Eight to be exact :beer:. It is a good job we don't operate a one in, one out policy.

I don't have enough room for the ones I've got. Ever since I move stuff round downstairs and lost a book case under the stairs I've had problems. Mind you, I buy a lot fewer books as a result!

You're really determined aren't you?!:beer: I gave in a while ago, as I just can't cope with wet washing hanging round the place. And the washing line has had to come down anyway now, and won't go up again till the garden is done.

This time I'm hoping I WILL get some stuff done, including sorting out supper tonight and lunch for tomorrow...

vanilla

Does anyone else think it feels later, flip i keep looking at the clock and thinking the battery most be dead because it feels like 9 o'clock.

Thats amazing - I had onion marmalade at the farm shop on tuesday with AnW'sMum and had never tasted it before - it was scrummy - I might have to investigate that thread and see how easy it is

I need to get DD sorted with a packed lunch for tomorrow, appointment in at hospital for hubby tomorrow and hopefully he'll be discharged and the plumber is out tomorrow evening.

I think i've had the crappest week ever, DD still having problems at school and teachers are useless about it.:mad::mad::mad::mad:

We've actually looked at another school over it all. She was kicked and pushed, ended up in wet underwear and trousers from dinnertime on.:mad:
Head teacher only had 2 minutes to spare to talk to me because she has so much work to do for an inspection. Apparently half the school think their being bullied.
I'm spitting feathers even thinking about it.

Hubby was awful at the start of the week not sleeping and self harming but he's really settled now thank goodness down to the meds so i'm really hoping this will be a good week to come.

Sorry that turned into abit of a rant.:o Think i should just go and buy loads of Thornton chocolate.:rotfl:

I hope everyone is well.

Vanilla (((hugs)))) thats appalling behaviour/attitude from that head teacher - children's welfare is more important than an inspection IMHO - I would be finding out when the inspection is and kicking up in front of them - they might force the teacher to do something about it. That sounds hopeful for DH - hope the meds continue to help. medicinal chocolate is hereby prescribed :rotfl:

wardrobe has gone - 2 young lads arrived to carry it in the pouring rain and gale - its going 3 streets away and they thought they would carryit - I did say in the post that its solid wood and gave the dimensions - but he hadnt read it - the look on their faces was priceless!!!! anyway it is off my property - I waited until they were out the gate so I am not worrying about it any more!!!
