    Not out of line at all.. I wish they could see it tbH.. i do allsorts of hideous tasks and help them out constantly. I've bailed them out with money they never pay back and time.. sometimes to the point of neglecting my children and myself and whenever I need anything noone is willing to lend a hand..

    Sounds exactly like my family,Glad you got to the appointments ok in the end my DD2 and I have Ehler Danlos Syndrome and DS has hypermobility, problem with the Dr's is they just dont know how to treat us so I always dread hospital appointments as you always know it is going to be a battle.

    Took DS to speech therapy chatterbox group DS kept giving me strange looks as they keep repeating the same words over and over (this is in the hope the children would speak) DS sits there and just signs to me wouldnt say a word out of the 5 he can say:( Still will carry on taking him and he will say somethink eventually but think I will do the next part of the Makaton course that is available at the end of the onth just incase;)

    LW Happy Anniversary I hope you had a lovely day xx

    Level 1, 2 and 3 done today woop woop!! Extras included phoning wedding dress about getting pictures of dress for ebay. Taking other photos for ebay only to have to do some stupid tutorial because pic of said dress breached copyright! So didn't have time to list as was going out. Did 1x wm. Collected prescription. Sorted out under sink cupboard and put all things i've ripped out of magazines in different folders. Sorted a load of shoes and bags of mine and DD1 for charity. Sorted DD2 too small summer stuff into bag for my cousins daughter. All in all a good day that ended in a shared bottle of vino with an old friend.

    Congrats smartie...she really is a sweetie!!! xxx

    Well I didn't actually get much more done today, after I put the boys down for their nap this afternoon I sat on the sofa and the next thing I knew it was 3pm and time to get the boys up!! I did put the clean clothes away and also cooked some sausages and sausage rolls for DH's lunches whilst cooking dinner. Also sorted out our phone, tv and broadband for when we move. Allso discovered that I can't actually clean the oven properly until we sell our fridge as I can't get the oven door open wide enough to get the shelves out! hopefully the fridge will be gone next week so it will be on my list to do then! Also did the shopping but not til 10pm tonight as hubby didn't get in until 9.30pm!!! Bought some stardrops too so will be finding something to clean tomorrow!!
