    afternoon all

    My roof is coming along nicely :) hes just finished rendering the wall and most of the bad holes in the roof has been fixed, hes waiting for some tool to arrive then he will beable to do the rest after he finishes plastering the house opposite tomorrow. He very kindly put nathans cutain pole back up for me too (been waiting 4 weeks for DH to do it, but with the long shifts he's beehn doing he hasn't had time)

    I've been a busy bee today (paying for it now though can hardly move) i've cleaned upstairs and made beds just needs hoover going around, jo took me to jewsons to get render and more tiles and tesco, spent 12.00 on food and should have enough extras to last till next week.

    now theres no more water coming in i've started to clean the mould off walls and doors in the kitchen (looking much better already) had to stop though cause i was getting sore. (might bribe ds1 with a couple of quid to finish it when he comes in from school), once thats done it needs a touch up with paint.

    caught up with all my washing last load is in the machine now, its sunny and a very cold wind here so the washing is drying lovely on the line.

    tbh Chloe is okay, just a bit of scratching but she has been whingey for a couple of days so it could have been that that was causing her whinginess.....she is a bit itchy......and so am I!!! I am sure its psychological though......

    Its better when they get it younger (Have I said that already???)

    I have sent off my accreditation for Cambridge and included a letter saying how excited I was about starting etc. Hopefully it makes them process my application faster!

    made stew gravy went all over my skirt on the bushome
    made a casserole fell down a pot hole lol no wonder i hate cooking :)

    doing pork chops and veg for tea tonight and if DH says yuk again this time he'll be wearing it ( on second thoughts he might not cause the mess will be left for me to clean up)
