    It is cooollld here this morning (fire lit) and the aga is working-to-rule.

    Beautiful double rainbow this morning

    Grumpy as all get out (not helped by just losing what I posted).

    We have to get up earlier, mornings are sooo stressful with no kitchen.

    Grumpy again today, I have too much to do.

    DH is somewhat more like H today. I will try not to rant...

    Oh dear, hope you get everything done that you need to. You definitely need some 'me' time. Is that possible with 3 children?

    I'm sure it is, in theory.

    I have just done some reaction to stress shopping, black kick !!! boots for work and tops for the boy.

    Not really the plan.

    I have also been to the local joinery (joiners?) with a bit of picture rail to see if they can make some to match, and bought rubble bags for the builder.

    I also got baby's fingerprint done to go on a silver charm (I won it in a raffle at the Marie Curie coffee morning!). Sucked in, of course, and ordered cufflinks for DH for Christmas.

    He phoned and apologised...

    and if he can't be a DH than a CH (contrite husband) has to be the next best thing :D

    Oh I don't know, I'd vote for XH ;)
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort
