    I'm stopping for a coffee before my knees give up completely. All the toy boxes are sorted now. But, i've still got to sort all the books,the puzzles, a 5 drawer storage thing and the ton of stuff on the floor. I've filled another black bag for the carboot and Ds2 has tidied away his Dr who toys. I'm getting there very slowly.:cool: I may have to have a take away tonight if i don't have time to cook.;)

    DD been to her appointment and the doctor has decided she doesn't have to wear the piedro boots anymore, she told the doctor they were like bricks. :rotfl: :j:j:j:j:j

    They have decided on the insole and then she can wear any shoes, she's so happy and can't wait to go picking new shoes. I'm over the moon for her. :D

    Hubby had his appointment today and the nurse caught on straight away to one of his early warning signs, he's got the hood up, music on and sleeping loads. I'm hoping i can pull him out of it but he changes so quickly and it's the weekend too. I can never get any help at the weekend so if anything is gonna help it will happen then. :(

    Plan now is hopefully sparkie will turn up tonight and that will be that finished for awhile. Need to get the DW back on again.
    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

    Well kitchen is looking a little better - dishes are washed and my Approved Food order has been put away. Luckily DH is still at work so I can get some more bits done before he comes in. I'm going to an Ann Summers party tonight so won't be in later. Better clear some more of the bedroom before that as well.

    Evening everyone.

    Have only done dailies yesterday and today. Was out all day yesterday then out for a meal with friends last night. Really enjoyed it and had a good laugh. Today I met a friend in town for lunch and shopping. I made her laugh by walking into a glass door when coming out of the restaraunt.

    I intend to do a couple a HHCs then chill tonight as Im shattered.

    Winchelsea Hugs. Hope DH settles well.
    g&b Hugs for you and LO.
    poohbear Happy Birthday. Hope you are having a nice day.
    Lady L Prayers and vibes for your friend in America.
    vanilla Thats good news for DD. Hugs and hope DH is ok.

    Hugs for everyone specially Toots Lady L and Diva.

    JulieJim - Don't spend your new found fiver on anything saucy - go on I dare you :p.

    Bike arrived at 11.30 and my lovely FIL gave me a lift to Stansted and we walked up and down the rows looking for the car. Fortunately DS1 had woken up so I didn't have to take DS3 and DD2. Windscreen man called at 1.30 and car is now in possession of a lovely new screen and we are £75 poorer:(. DustyKitten I know it would have been easier to postpone but DH is all over the country next week and I feel nervous with him driving around with a cracked screen.

    Done 3 x HHI today but it really is only a drop in the ocean. Why do I let it get out of hand?

    Breastfeeding - I have a wealth of knowledge and it's a subject I am very passionate about. Anyone who needs help is more than welcome to contact me.

    Need to dish up dinner now. Hope everyone has a great evening.
