    JennyJewell, well done..:j:j:j
    Soappie you just said what everyone else wanted to say.

    Tilers will be back today after 3, shouldn't take to long. Hubby is away for a lesson today and i'm hoping he will drive himself up. 4 kids in warm car for an hour is not good. I'd rather say at home and get on with things. :D
    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.
    :j :j

    Hugs Boddy - pm me if you want to chat.

    I'm still wading through the paperwork that's been living on my desk. I have a filing tray which was just piled high with stuff. I've also emailed the CAh support group to ask for something which I've been meaning to do for a while so that's another job done.

    Another HHC at 11 anyone?

    Nice that we have to wait until I go to bed before the back stabbing starts.. how lovely and terribly adult of you all.. if we are having confession time.. I don't give a flying fig what any of you think.. this is my body, my life and I shall do exactly as I please.. if you don't like it.. don't stalk on threads where you don't normally go, don't reply and feel free to put me on ignore.. as for linking to pathetic ramblings of spite.. feel free.. they are words written by people who have no idea about me or my life so cannot have any impact or emotional bearing.. so very childish. I had already said several times I would not be doing anything other than what I want and had asked subjects to be changed... now shut up and remember what THIS thread is about.. and if you have a gripe.. take it elsewhere!

    Grateful hun.. hope all is well with the scan.. everything crossed..

    Before things go a bit mental today can I please remind everyone of something I think Valli said last week? This is a mutual support cleaning thread ;)

    I think you'll find it was the lovely Hex who said that ;)

    If it's about Pegs then it's certainly Valli ;)

    Off to boys check ups now.

    Bathroom done.

    HHC was pretty good, got the hall decluttered and hoovered, even did the skirting with the tools:A Washed up the dishes and S&S'd the kitchen. Got DH to sort out the tax credits form, could only do an estimate though as still waiting on his accounts. Will post it off today.

    Need to hoover the living room and kitchen.

    Having a girly night in at a friends tonight so have made a key lime pie for dessert, just need to finish the topping.

    Hugs Boddy, hope you are ok.
