    Just steeling myself for a trip to the coup with all this junk I've decluttered! I'm starting to feel like I've made a decent hole in ds2's future bedroom, which is good. Also gone through a couple of bookshelves and am charity bagging them. This is progress indeed!

    Lady Liberty - good to see you posting
    Vanilla - I remain lost in admiration as to how you cope with it all

    Work today so not a huge amount done so far. Not much done at work either other than listening to very stressed people and giving them an outlet to work off some angst :cool:.

    One doctors appointment done and he can find nothing wrong with DS2. I told him what he said and how he behaves at school, the doctor thinks he's just playing up for attention and not to read too much into it. If i have any concerns then come back.

    DD had another rotten day at school, seems the head didn't have time to deal with it as she had someone in. :mad: All being wrote down and to be honest it's exactly the same as last year.

    Right best get dinner on.
    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 am a complete failure this week - but the new job and getting used to shifts again is a bummer. Got a couple of hours tomorrow morning (as on a late) and Friday off - so I guess I shall be flying then, as well as getting stuff organised for my DD2 birthday party which is happening Sunday - in a local hall so I don't have the mess in the house!!!
