    thank you for the welcome. I'm fine thanks, trying to work round baby stuff, that can't go in the nursery because it's being decorated, which is typical. but figured i'd better be organised before flump makes an appearance.

    arrhhh, it's raining and I have washing to dry (decided to strip all of the beds in my 3 x HHC). I think that I better get the tumble drier out :(.

    In my 3 x HHC I S&S the kitchen, ironed all school clothes, stripped beds, washed bedding, put clothes away, went shopping for food and then did school run.

    About to have a cuppa tea and cig, only a few days until I quit and looking forward to it!

    After that going to do more work, me & OH planned to strim the jungle but I think we'll make some beer & wine instead. Got aload of kits from wilkos and we having a BBQ in three weeks for daughters birthday (she's having friend over on the Thursday and adults on Saturday BBQ) - so the beer will be ready for this. We need to bottle up rhubarb & banana wine also for the BBQ so I will rope OH into doing this as well.

    Then I need to go back to shop to return some items and buy some black bags which was the sole reason I went to the shop earlier and forgot them :o.

    Sorted post.. DS3's new game has arrived so I will have peace for the next few days hopefully!

    Tax credits for next year have arrived.. gone up a fair chunk due to DD1's age.. and will be increased again once Squeak pops so not too horrific.. MUST get DS2's DLA forms sorted though!! I need my mother to write her bit and I can send it off.. but I have been waiting for about 5 weeks for her to do this.. Her head is up her bum at the moment with all that is going on with my uncle, but it is almost urgent!
    QUOTE]

    I had a similar problem as HV was of ill I ended up posting DS1's back day before the date it had to be back by I sent it be special delivery so I knew it would be there and had no problems with them about it.

    Just got back from Speech drop in know we have been given a group for DS to attend once a week and been told I need to play with him more to encourage his speech :mad: do these people really think I am stupid still hopefully the group will help him and then we go back in 3 months time and they are then hoping all will be fine and he will be talking!! HHmm we will see!! Going to declutter coffee and get some flying done.
