    Soappie - love the chicks! Awwww!!!!

    Boddy - I was thinking of you today when my DS was playing with his lego and picked up one particular little set and said 'this is from your boddy friend' - I can't believe he remembered!

    Lack of flying today. I've been working and walking the dogs!

    Bit of good news.....

    - ds without pain for about 6 weeks now - big celebration but cautious too!
    - dd had her first induction day at high school - she went by train and came home having loved it as she has so many friends there already due to her running and music.
    - the boat is all clean and sparkly (so I have done some flying) - dh still has to make the engine a bit more sparkly!!!
    - I've managed to lose 10lbs so far (slow but staying off!)

    That's life in a nutshell - keep hoping LL is having a lovely time and big hugs to the rest of you...I'm going to have a read through now to catch up xx

    List going down slowly,will have to finish at weekend as have to take DD2 to a college interview tomorrow and then straight to Jellies so leaving at 9am and wont get back till 5.30pm.

    OH gets back tomorrow but is away again from Sunday morning...have asked him to look at cutlery drawer on Sat as it keeps coming off the runners...I have looked but cant sort it :(:(


    Love the chickens..Soappie,really cute xx

    Hope you give them hell tonight Pigpen....really unfair for LO to get worse just because they arent helping enough.


    DD2 has been horrid today...she says she doesnt really want to go back to college ( I say she has to).....but has no idea what else to do...isnt even attempting to get a Saturday job or anything but I am the worst parent as I am refusing to give her money for bus fares etc she was in a foul mood today as she has no EMA again this week as they say she wasnt at College on Thursday so I got the blame as she says she was there,they sent a letter yesterday but I have recycled it (been collected today) and because she hasnt seen it Im lying and she actually thumped me in the arm...I was really shocked and to be honest didnt know how to react...so ignored it but it has really upset me....sorry for the long waffle but helps to clear my head...OH has been told but he wont do anything ...he never has.


    Love to all xx

  • Thursday ~ Master bedroom & landing
    Level 1

    Remove and replaced bed linen and duvet covers.
    Fling open the window and let in the summer!

    Didn't get chance to do much else as only left work at about 7: not a very good day, couple of people at work said things that were not quite necessary and got quite upset :( and then angry at myself for letting them and not being able to let go! :mad:

    Anyway got a few of the girls coming over tomorrow night for dvd, fish suppers and few bevvies, should cheer me up, and I don't need to be worried about the state of the house, best its looked for ages!

    Oh yeah.. I have been asked if I want a keyworker.. erm.. no.. I am articulate enough to get across what I want.. it is th eservices that think bcause I don't have a keyworker or SW I am not having anything that would benefit the children!

    Anyhoo.. I have been asked to email my gripes to the head of childrens services.. PHNARR!!!!!!!!! And get the GP to refer to disability services (unless the podiatrist can do it next week.. I'll ask) and failing that ring them myself and see where we can get assistance.. I am feeling stroppy.. I hate hotness.
