    :rotfl: Go with the 'fro, you are so funny BB! Nice covers, and lovely price too!

    Right the car is gone, it drove better than I thought to get out of the driveway, it had been stuck on the slabs :o the guy knocked £50 off when he got here, but TBH I am so glad to see it go I don't mind. I couldn't find the spare key, which was :o, it has been living in the kitchen drawer for years so am not sure what I've done with it - I cleared that one out a few weeks ago, but I will post it on when I find it. I'm sure Mr Grumpy will have something to say about it though......

    Afternoon everyone

    Well after a lovely sunny morning, it has poured down all afternoon so been stuck indoors. Has made me clear a few more boxes though.

    Put some oxtail in slow cooker with mushrooms, carrots, onions etc so hoping will be tasty for dinner tonight. Been trying to do an online application form for a job at a college, but not sure if I will be worse off as whilst I am not working I can claim Carers Allowance for DS2, but will lose this if I got the job.The annual salary is £8300 and 30 mins drive away, but could possibly lead to other things, so will apply and see how I go.

    Not much more os to report though apart from doing 1 load of washing, emptying dw. Yesterday I was much more productive.

    Congratulations to all who did well in their GCSE results.

    Lowesey & Kezlou - Sending ((Hugs)) thinking of you both.
    Miolere - Hope your cat turns up soon.
    Bitsy - Glad you had a lovely holiday.

    Enjoy the rest of your day, still not managed to load my wedding pics onto the computer and still haven't worked out how to yet, but will try again later. Hugs to anyone that needs/wants one. Take Care.

    Bitsy - Glad you had a good holiday :D, How did DS cope :cool:

    Well I'd like to say he coped OK but the first few days he was a right little git :o They didn't sleep well the first night so tiredness was a factor but not sure if it was ASD or just the nearly 5 year old in him :cool: The rest of the week went better after a few days although we still had a certain amount of paddy's when he couldn't do what he wanted. Must say he loved the sea and stripped off naked at every opportunity to go paddling (yes it was that hot most of the week :D).

    Have worked out that neither of the kids like sleeping in bunks in the caravan and they are not good at sleeping in the same vicinity. After 2 nights I ended up sleeping with DD in the sleeping pod part of the awning with H and DS in the caravan. Needless to say me and H had no time to ourselves :( Still the holiday was fab and a good time was had by all. Just need to move by the sea <dashes off to check out the house prices on Rightmove> ;)

    Whoa Mrs, no house moves just now, didn't you need reigned in last year too after seeing the "perfect house" ;) I would love to live by the sea, I just wish everyone else realised how rubbish it is so the prices would go down. :D
