    Morning everyone :hello:
    Plumber should be here soon and the sink out. DS2 has an eye appointment this morning, then i need to get back to the painting. Need to strip the boarder of the hall. Kidds now all ready for school so i'll leave shortly.

    DW on and thats it so far.
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.

    Morning all

    It's going to be a busy one! I am going to carry on with our bedroom until just 9.30 - then get dressed and at 10 drop the car off up the road for a service. I'm due at the hairdresser's at 12 and could really do with the car back by then. Need to phone MIL, too, to see if DS2 can stay at her's while I'm having my hair cut. She only lives around the corner. After that, it's back to the lists - oh, and I need to come up with something for tea that's not chicken. Maybe corned beef hash or shepherds pie.
    I hope the courier is going to come for the stuff I sold before I need to go out - otherwise DS1 will have to spend the day in the LR waiting for him. Right. Stick the address on the parcel, then breakfast and second cuppa, then bedtime.
    Hope everyone's day goes according to plan.

    Mumto5 - sorry you're having such a rough time. I hope your day gets better and your DS has a happy birthday.

    yesterday managed some flying, tons of ironing, and helped build a trampoline..

    OH's dad not good - he's in Essex and we're in York so it's not easy. B-I-L away at weekend (he's still in Essex) so OH wanted to go down and see his dad.....but his dad said no because he didn't feel well enough for a visitor!!!

    OH upset.....I think the outcome here is not going to be good - the decline is marked....

    Then OH snored all night so I feel like death!
