    WooHoo hubby out strimming the lane (it's a longish one) and then he's gonna have a cuppa with his parents and i'll take the strimmer and do the front garden in between all the plants and hedges. I might even squeeze in the back garden while he has his tea. :j:j:j:j

    Also got the second washing tightened up and it's now full off clothes, it's raining abit here but where the line is it's sheltered so hopefully they'll dry.

    WM on and DW been loaded, livingroom cleared of toys and pj's. Kitchen been s&s. Right i'll finish my cuppa and then head out with a bin bag and gather up all the broken toys and rubbish. :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

    Thanks for the interview vibes, I've just got back. I could do the job standing on my head but he's interviewing all day and will let me know if I'm through to the 2nd stage on Monday! I think he's a bit of a perfectionist it's only 8 hours a week!

    Fortunately all children are well and in school (thanks for asking about DS2 Natty)

    penpen - your comments made me laugh - I've been where you want to be so many times:rotfl::rotfl:

    I now have 2 hours to fly until I have to pick up DS1 who is working at SIL's and take him to his pre-op appointment at 1.30

    So I'm going to HHC back to back until 12.45 if anyone wants to join me?
