LOL what are you gonna fix her with??

Manic day, smear test (great joy!) roofers have mostly finished, building inspector came, tiles are on DD1's fireplace, I have been painting baby's room.

Naughty lady who is embroidering school fleeces has failed to have them ready, twice.

Three strikes and she's getting named and shamed!

So, building inspector £240.

Thanks for reminding me. I had a smear test reminder in the middle of last term and thought I'd put it off until the holidays. But of course I can't go in the holidays because of the kids. Must make appointment for next term - I'm part time so should be able to find a slot in the week that won't get in the way of work. Also need to make appointments for kids to go to the opticians and all of us to go to the dentist. Naughty - should not have let all these things get overdue.

I have no idea, I shouldn't have suggested it really!

You are having lots of busy days lately, I hope you are finding time to relax too.

No, in fact awake at 6 and exhausted at end of day, but we need to get the stuff done in the hols...we have promised ourselves a family holiday next summer.

More ebaying today I think, though stuff doesn't seem to be selling for much, anyone else notice?

Also DD1 riding and taking DD2 for a play at her friend's.

Quick pop in. Finished painting baby's room. WM has died (7 years old) and we decided to get an 11kg capacity one....used the megashopbot naturellement.

Hope all is well in the world of MSE. XXX

More ebaying done. Got £37 of M and S rewards which will use for DD2 party.

Clubcard vouchers should be soon?

ours came two days ago. They are burning a hole in my pocket, but i cant find anything worthwhile to spend them on. Luckily they are quite long dated so there's no huge rush

OOh goody. Not sure whether to x3 them for pizza express or topps tiles, so may split it.

I have hit the buffers energy wise, DH has taken DD2 to a hosp appt. Work on our windows has been slowed by weather. Our best woman and DD2's Godmother is due to visit today and tomorrow. Need to make up the bed and light the fires (ha get me - fires).

We also have WM arriving today...comments on getting cheapest price on shopbot

1. It normally means no quick delivery unless you pay extra
2. They charge extra for taking away the old one and also...
3. Opening the packaging and binning it £8.50 in one case??????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Also despite my best cheeky efforts there was not much of a deal to be had and quidco was on the blink.

I am pathetically excited about having a WM big enough to do a king size duvet...

eta am glossing over the fact that between baby and DD2 we had 4 hours of screaming/tantrum last night.

Ouch, that sounds like a hard night - I think I have a few of those to come.
