    Glad to hear you're feeling a bit better, it's so hard when you have trouble with the little ones. My DS is playing up at the moment but I think he's tired, not that he will consider going to bed on time. Hope the hospital appointment went well.

    Morning all,:)

    A bit of a mixed week here. After deciding that I really should take the BH off, I then I had to take Tuesday morning off as boys were ill, Wednesday afternoon to attend appointment , I then did not sleep a wink on Wednesday night so was exhausted and unable to go to work yesterday.:(. So the hours are not clocking up this week:(

    I am just about to go to DS1's assembly between 10-11, then go the a client for some "hand-holding" at 11.30 for an hour or so, then drive back to the office for another "hand-holding " meeting at 1pm. After that I will have to try and get through the piles of work on my desk.:( So not an easy day:(

    On the plus side.... DH recived extra £270 in his pay packet this week:j:j.. so not all bad:T

    Must rush to get a good seat at assembly.;)

    Have a good day all:)

    Love

    The weeks are like that sometimes no matter how hard we try.
    Hope you enjoyed the assembly and great news on DHs extra pay.

    Thanks Taxi :)

    I did enjoy the assembly.... very much..... DS1 made me very proud:D:D. Work was ok yesterday, despite being very busy. The man I work for said that client had asked him what would happen if I left. He said that he really didn't know how he would cope:) I know he appreciates me but hard to see sometimes when you are drowning at work . I have brought some work home with me to dip into over the weekend and therefore saves me driving into the office.


    On the finances front. Electric bill arrived ..... £234....:eek:. It never rains but it bl00dy chucks it down:rotfl::rotfl:


    Have a good weekend.

    Slinks in with a cuppa and one for you - ergh to electric bills - must check the reading here at hte new house - I'm in denial (!)

    Morning I hope you've had an OK week off to find out what you've been upto - OH's been here working his 2 weeks and I've hardly had a chance to do internet bits.

    PS - hugs about work things

    PPS do you think the electric bill knows about DH extra pay - the amounts an almost similar..................money ying and yang (in one hand out with the other) I hate money ying/yang!
