    Tuesday - Master bedroom and landing DONE

    Lovely nice clean bedding on cant wait to get into it with my new book. Went to see mum and she was fine. Still a bit on the cold side to take her out though. Been to doctors and Yay he listened to me and looked at my jaw. Didnt just palm me off. Thats whats causing ear problem. He got me app straight away to see oral surgeon next month. Also to have bloods done to check for diabetes. Funnily enough I was happy coming out of there.

    Decluttering a cuppa then going to do a HHI.

    :T:T:T:T:Twell done you!

    Well am in but going to vist my sister tomorrow.

    - I think you talk a lot of sense there TBH - same could be done in the health service - a holistic approach would be IMHO much better than a piecemeal one...
    if one department COMMUNICATED with another it would help.

    I've sorted our room out so it's lovely and tidy now (how long will it stay like that:rotfl:), bathroom stuff has all been sorted into 2 boxs (1 for in the bath and 1 for out). All stuff gathered up for the tip tomorrow including old toilet.
    Bathroom ceiling has first coat on and i'm nearly out of paint so need to get more tomorrow. Hubby did abit more cementing of the floor so it's now finished as long as it doesn't srunk as it dry's.:D
    Need to start the skirting in the hall tonight but i'll wait until all kiddies are in bed.
    Right Rhys needs feed and away to bed, DD needs to get her homework done and the boys need to get ready for bed.
    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.

    I appear to be stuck to my new artisan chocolate making book with dribble, but I actually need to be sorting uniforms, pack lunches and making our bed :p.

    toots - hope you are ok?
