    Morning all, site doesn't like me today it keeps throwing me off.:mad:
    Kids all ready for school and the blind's man is coming at 9.15.

    I most catch up with the lists today and get this house looking half good.
    Another tip run is in order me thinks. :rotfl:
    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 :j

    Morning

    Brrrrrrrrr looks like toots wish has come true, she wanted the nice warm weather to wait until she was back home! It's chilly out there today, the trousers and fleece are going back on.

    Just going to do a few bits round here before I go out with my friend. Miss A and I have hair cuts booked for after school and there is gp appt for W to get his hayfever meds.

    Was late in tonight as it was parents' evening so it was gone 8 before I got home - I had a grand total of 0 parents this time!!

    Have just watched England win the football :)

    Morning!
    Froddington, do you think the 2 things were connected??:D

    If anybody wants me this week, I'll be continuing the "move everything away from the windows and rehome the gibble on the windowsills" saga as well as sorting stuff out for the next bar boot. It appears that the teams of window engineers have arrived (with windows that fit, this time: the prototypes didn't) and are making their way through each flat at some speed.

    Meanwhile, I will go and make a coffee... where's a coffee smiley when you need one? Also, there are 2 almond marzipan chocolates left in a box on this desk, so they'll need to go!

    Hope all (and loved ones)are well: Carlsberg, give the number to Danny if he has a mobile and needs anything. But, as you probably know, there's a good bunch round there. (Glad the pub was OK; they do a decent range of real ales and are wheelchair friendly, that's why it's on our list.)

    Have a good day and keep supping that water!

    What a pathetic excuse!

    Maybe she should have learned before now in order to communicate with her grandson!!

    DD1 has hers today too.. she already has a A so we aren't too fussed tbh.. school rang at 8:20 this morning to 'remind' us she had an exam.. I said she hasn't left the house yet! (we live 15 minutes walk from school!!) Stupid people, they are really pi$$ing me off now.. DD1 turned up for all her other exams.. she wasn't even supposed to have been doing this one anyway!

    I am sick of coughing.. I have been up half the night again coughing up a couple of lungs!! I have a sore patch on my side.. possibly from baby kicking the same area while I was asleep/laid still.. if I move I have major coughing fits. I don't care what it says on the box we are having clarytin tonight.. I will get a decent nights kip!!

    I may find myself a list.. and one for OH too!! :D
