    Do you ever go down the tram line to Glenelg? I lived there for a few months

    yep, tram line is great! we use it more to get into the city though :D - saves us the parking! - glenelg is a nice place for some fun hours!


    morning :hello:

    just need to drop kids off at kindy/school and then i'll grab a list and get going - playroom is still a bombsite; and so is dd's bedroom!
    kitchen needs attention and s/s of toilets and bathroom - if i am still standing i'll do new sheets/covers in master bedroom!

    that's the plan anyways ...

    Well I've been awake since half 5!!!!!!!!!

    My swollen foot appears better today so hopefully it will stay that way!.. Though I doubt it will!!

    I have a meeting tonight so put tomorrows list up in case I am asleep before I get back.. which is likely!

    Today I have to print off and post Tiddles DLA forms.. we need a blooming maxibuggy thing for her now apparently and SHOULD (according to someone who knows about these things) be eligible for a blue badge for her.. seeing as she can't walk far.. Then I can sort Moomins claim.. after the MRI. I am STILL waiting on their new shoes.. we were told a week 9 days ago.. you cannot tell a 5 and 7 year old a week then take 2!!!

    off to check bank unbalances and then can get this lot ready for school. OH not 100%.. I think he has hayfever but he won't admit it..

    i don't know what time ds came in last night - but i found him asleep on the bathroom floor at 3.30am!:mad::mad: - suspect i will hoover later!:rotfl::rotfl:

    Am very excited - have found out my favourite actor is in a touring production of The Country Girl this summer - and they're heading to Leeds! I've been a fan for 30 years+ - but never seen him in the flesh.......

    am facing 50 mins in the dentist chair this afternoon - have told OH it's fish and chips for tea!;) Luckily he agreed!:D
