    Been to little Ms he's very happy with his new dyson, especially that the wand picks up so he was embarrassing his OCD about vacuuming Mam by cleaning up anything he seen on the floor lol wonder where he gets that from

    DP has had his hair cut, now he's doing his homework for college, he starts in 3 hours, me thinks he needs to practice what he preaches to the kids about last minute homework!

    I've cleared a seat place on the sofa, got a bag full of rubbish again :) next to clear the rest :)
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    :oSorry :o Thank you all for your help :A I'm feeling thriftly and am tempted to go for a stainless steel one, similar to what I already have. DD (an Art Student) says I should have the more aesthetic Le Creuset one :think: Not her money, though, is it :naughty:

    Rhys now asleep so i'll crack on with the livingroom now before school run. Then homeworks, dinner and out to cut sticks then if i have time i'll have a nosey at the curtains and coat. :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.

    We can now sit on every seat on the sofa :D probably the first time since erm ....May? maybe earlier :o and what was on it, my ruddy driving licence I looked for 2 weeks for! Now to keep it that way!

    Cushion covers in the wash, might need a double go as they are icky! I've got a pile of paperwork to file, one of 'stuff' to find homes for and lots of rubbish - mainly recyclable.

    Just spent 15 minutes on phone to council as we are STILL waiting for them to sort the drainage pipe from the roof. We reported it when we got the keys, July 2009. Have phoned up at least monthly since. I've also dropped an email to the local councillor for housing highlighting the issue :) just happens I found his details when sorting the piles of stuff on the sofa. Had enough now so on a mission and waiting for a call back, told 'it's complex' well I know that but it's also manky sludge spraying when you walk through the front door and causing damp in the rooms.

    Right I best go find homes for these piles of stuff then clear the floor in front of the sofas and the coffee table :)

    HHC - 14.15-14.45 anyone ?
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    Back from town, shoppping put away, towels brought in from the line and lunch eaten.

    Just having 5 minutes on here to digest and then to the garden for me with a clear conscious from the sparkling bathroom.

    Toots - no word yet, I think tonight is full governors meeting so I guess they will look at all the applications then and see if it is going to a vote or not.

    Aj
    hope the meds work. A friend's son had what sounds similar and they put him on diazepam to settle it down in the end.
