    Well I didn't get much of the benches cleared but that clean floor makes me smile :D I don't need shoes on to enter my kitchen lol

    Noisy but good evening at the soft play with my boys, Matthew and 31 other kids (hence noisy) even the non verbal kids manage to make a racket! Home & just been relaxing, busy day tomorrow including CAMHs when I know his CP who has been his advocate for several years is going to tell us she's retiring :( heard through the grapevine :( he trusts her so much so he's going to be devastated, but I MUST book a hairdressers appointment.


    Willow you've just reminded me I need to do that, DP said it set on fire when he used it..... I resisted saying DIY as he was tired/narky
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    I cannot settle tonight I think the tummy poking at the pre assessment today has upset my gallbladder so it is very twingy tonight.

    I am also now sooooooooooo angry it is stupid!!!!

    Went to a slightly out of the way pet store about 2 weeks ago got some cat litter, wild bird food for mum etc and they made an error and charged me for dog treats. As I had brought them home I called up then made a special trip to return them for a refund. Now, just checking my bank account online I have discovered they have taken the money out not refunded it. So, now I have paid twice for dog treats which a) i didn't want and b) no longer have :eek: This is severe incompetence in my book!:wall::wall::wall::wall:

    I will be ringing them tomorrow and no more of this oh, bring in your card and we will sort it out. I will DEMAND they send me a cheque to refund all of the amount. AHHHHHHHH SO MAD!!:mad::mad::mad::mad: Am now £5.94 down. Maybe not a lot to some ppl but that is my money and I want it back!!

    Anyway, back on topic :D .. sorry but I really needed to vent..
