Need to collect the boys and then get as a minimum the kitchen done and downstairs hoovered. Upstairs will just have wait as I can't manage repeated trips up the stairs.
Dusty, hope your day got better? I need house insurance too, and after a run of break-ins in the village decent cover is essential.'If you have a garden and a library, you have everything you need' Marcus Tullius Cicero0 -

Thanks Hex, today I've achieved very little but have ordered a couple more presents, got a refund sorted at last to my account and DS has his insoles so not all bad. Off to diving now and I need to pop into ASDA - aaaaaaaaaaaaaah as I didn't get to go shopping earlier. Hope you feel less sore tomorrow, knees and hips? xxThe birds of sadness may fly overhead but don't let them nest in your hair0

Eeek, the company OH works for have just had a big contract pulled from under their feet and he doesn't think he's going to get paid next week. Seriously panicking, don't know what to do and am trying not to cry. Don't think I'll be doing any more flying today...So, there are these boys,
They kinda stole my heart,

ETA - ((hugs)) Hellyboo - deep breaths and try not to panic, clear thinking is required, write things down to find out about.Although no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending.... life is a WIP.
Snowball says too far away, working hard to bring it forward.0 -
Dusty - all my joints, major fatigue and wobbly - having blood tests, etc.
Hellyboo - pulled in the sense that it has gone elsewhere - if so what type of contract? Google TUPE, and then PM me if it looks remotely relevant and you want more info. Is it worth ringing the bank and getting a temporary overdraft agreed before things start to bounce? Huge hugs. If the company goes bust you will get the money from the government but it may take a while.
DW done, kitchen S&S'd, and halfway through hoovering but I stopped for a rest. Need to set up a small boy relay team to take some stuff upstairs next. Pesty Mr A brought half the shopping, and are bringing the rest later.'If you have a garden and a library, you have everything you need' Marcus Tullius Cicero0
