    Happy Birthday Macpep !!

    Hmmm slow off the mark here today...

    Had a grumpy painful night so wasn't up until the postie came about 12 ish. Then mum came and ended up nipping her to the shop and me going to post office. Well that was the plan but we did the charity shops too so that extended the trip by a whole hour. :o

    I have got home, lit the fire and popped a load of potatoes in the oven to jacket. As its only me I do about 5/6 and then chill them and micro them as i want them. There is something so much nicer about oven baked ones.

    The spag bol I made is going in the bin, Ald1's meat is deff not something I will be buying again. Did ring them though to complain and they are popping a voucher in the post to me, which is good customer service in my view.:T

    Only 3 more loads to do of washing and that's it finished for tonight.

    Poor Rhys now has a bruise from his lip up to the side of his nose and then a black eye. Poor child has had a rough couple of days. :(

    DS1 seems to have made a recovery for now.

    Mumto5 Well done on the job. :T
    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.

    Argh do men have any use in life at all? OH is happy to take a friend to BRISTOL tomorrow which is about 2 hours away, but he wont go to Bedford for me this evening which is only about 8 miles away to pick up something from freecycle. We've messed the woman about enough as we had car problems and I said he'd go tonight, and he promised me as he had the day off today he would. He's going to come home to a majorly !!!!ed off me.
    So, there are these boys,
    They kinda stole my heart,
    They call me Mummy
