Happy Birthdays all round for today!

Essay writing = very slow progress with 750 words to go

Keep tidying up other bits for a proper read through tomorrow and adding to bibliography

The Bloke decided that, as I'm such a miserable moo today, that he has needed to sleep from 2 in the afternoon, getting up to eat half my dinner, gone back to bed and is happily snoring away.

I am feeling positively murderous towards him. Especially when I pointed out that, as I am unlikely to receive a visit from DD1 to say thank you for her present, it would be rather nice to go out for the evening and do something rather than stare blankly at the television, he decided that I obviously needed 'to spend some more time tippety-tappy-wapping on the computer' and went back to bed.

When I go to bed (at a reasonable time/one consistent with being more than 11 years old), he will then complain that I have woken him up and use it as a complaint that I always deprive him of sleep and it's not fair how he does everything in the house and gets up at 6am (to go back to sleep by 1pm, but lets not be negative towards him here...)

I HATE EVERYONE AT THE MOMENT.

Right, I'm going to have a go at a HHC now that DD has finally gone to bed!

Todays plan:
- washing up (what was left plus tea dishes)
- lists of what needs doing & when
- Ironing
- Quick dust through
- knitting of hat & scarf - done some more of the scarf
- Vacuum through & scrub kitchen floor then put rug down.
- IF I get time I'll start washing down paintwork ready to paint tomorrow.

Decorating To-do: (Italics are not urgent, but need to be done once the rest is done, preferably before the new carpets go in!)
Paint DDs walls
Paint my bedroom walls
Paint my bedroom walls again (painting magnolia over blue!)
Paint hallway again x 2
Sugar soap all the gloss work (sanding where necessary)
Paint gloss work
Paint bathroom ceiling

JoJo and Cycling Yorkie..............hugs to you both.

I have been having a "life-is-so-unfair-noone-likes-me-right-now-including-you" conversation with sd on fb...........for some odd reason she hasnt replied to my "well it isnt as if you have made an effort contacting people have you" and also "we try but you are far too busy and keep cancelling".
So far...........no response. Think she is slowly realising she wont win this one with me!

Evening! Tis dad's birthday today so we went out budgie shopping this morning - he was pleased! Tomorrow, we are going out fro Sunday lunch - better than facing a restaurant full of loud parties on a Saturday night!

When I got back from dropping dad home, 2 ambulances and a police car were blocking my road! I could just about see someone being put on a stretcher but have no idea what happened! Hoping he is ok.
