    Hi all,

    Been a madhouse here, so haven't been able to get anything done in the slightest.
    At 6pm last night ended up searching for a lost boy, managed to find him playing with DS1 on the school field.
    Paid £20 off the school for DS1 so just another £40 to go. Well as the house is more than a tip, going to go and make a start before the kids come home.

    Hugs to those that / need them, and hope everything is well/recovering. xx

    Afternoon all,

    I've made sweetcorn soup for lunch and then made a microwave sponge because Ds2 was moaning there was nothing but fruit for pudding. He's just finished his piece and said "I'm happy now ". :cool: I suppose i'd better clean up from lunch and then do some of my extras or my ironing.

    I still haven't successfully downloaded to my MP3 player ( which makes it a rather expensive ornament :o).
    CD loaded on to iTunes no problem. :T
    Everytime I try to transfer anything onto walkman everything grinds to a standstill and I end up having to switch off the pc :mad::mad::mad::mad:

    Level Three

    Cannot remember whether I posted the bedroom, but I've done that too.

    At last we've had some rain, so don't need to water. Lovely sunshine, but some big clouds and very breezy. I had coffee in the garden, and upset the blackbirds by sitting on a bench a bit too near the nest (in the climbers by my patio doors) so had to move! They are very jumpy; usually the nesting birds in the garden totally ignore me.

    Off to the allotment I thinki.

    Love and hugs.

    well my HHC from 12:15 has just ended..

    DRUMROLL PLEASE.......

    Red painting and brown glossing finished.. just a small amount of the cream to do and we can start rejigging junk to clear our rooom and make a start on that... next week!!!!!!!! lol.

    KH rang yesterday.. he is still having the children Sunday night.. but.. can he not have them the weekend after as he has made plans.. and for the weekend 2 weeks after that.. nothing for the weekend in between which wasn't his weekend to have them anyway.. this means I have had them 3 weekends running yet when I asked if he wanted them one night this weekend it being bank holiday cheeky fuka said 'If you don't want them!' ... them makes plans for himself so he can't have them!!! Actually, as much as I do want them.. I've had 3 solid weeks of them and need a day off and being their other parent I thought you might be interested in spending some time with them! Obviously I was wrong.. again!

    I need to chase up on the divorce actually.. I can't believe how drawn out it is getting.. I've heard nothing for 2 months! .. Surely that cannot be right?

    Off to rinse a brush.. fill a few holes so they can be sanded before pick up.. and the wall can be emulsioned when we get back from school.

    OH can make a cuppa.

    Triker.. I have a few spare wedding rings.. if you're interested lol I can't wear mine as my hands got poofy
