Getting there, but no stars this week. Still getting used to life without a car, the insurance hasn't paid out yet, and it will only be about £100 ( Our car was old, but a goer:D)
My arms are getting longer carrying shopping. Have tried an online home shop from Tescos, but the guy was rude to me ( He shouted from the doorstep that I was taking too long to unpack the goods from the trays and that he didn't have all day to hang around in)....this has made me not want to spend any more money with them.
Other than that all is well in Norfolk, save for the continual rain:D

The fridge is now all sparkly just need food in it. Boys have had their hair cut and will thrown in the bath very shortly. Hubby says he'll cook dinner but he'll have to find something to cook first. At least one less thing for me to do.:D
Need to put the WM on again, get boys bathed, clear kitchen table.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.:j :j0
