    DD2's school break up at 12 today and they have a non school uniform today which cost me a £1.00 I said that as they finish at 12 surely it should only cost 50p she said the teachers had already told them not to try that and its a £1.00 not 50p:(

    DS is sat in the frontroom lining up all the dvd's today,last night I went upstairs to be greated by all his cars lined up on te landing:mad:

    I best get some flying done before DD2 is home from school although she can get her room done she couldnt find her phone charger last night because of the state of it.

    I'm still full of a bloomin carppy cold which, as ever, is turning into stupid amounts of congestion and a cough. :( I really don't want to go to work today and deal with any drama dollies... (staff that is, not clients) I'm so not in the mood. Parrots and ibus ahoy, and breakfast I think.
    Plus, I'm cheesed off that no-one did the kitchen last night, so it looks like hell again... :mad: Well, stuff it, DH can do it tonight. :p After work I'm on taxi duty for dd1 and 5 mates who are off to the cinema to celebrate the end of term. I think I'll go in September to celebrate the start of term! :D:D:D

    Kids all up and fed and outside. Boys room cleared of dirty washing and i phoned about the kitchen tiles and it should be done in the next couple of weeks.:D

    Need to meassure up the hall, front hall and livingroom for the wooden flooring. I don't think i'll do the rooms until the kids are back at school it would be to much with them at home.

    Right i better drag hubby out of bed..
    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.

    I haven't caught up yet, so I hope everyone's OK.

    I've done the bathroom/toilet today. Not enough washing for a load but they've forecast rain anyway, tomorrow's forecast is much better so I'll catch up then.
