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

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!

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.:jmember of the thrifty gifty 2011 :j0 -
