    Evening everyone

    It seems really late now the nights are drawing in.

    I was hoping to hear from the panel meeting re possible place in dyslexia unit, not heard anything so will give the lea a call tomorrow. I am keeping my fingers crossed as this would make such a difference with the specialised teaching. Ended up taking him to drs as he was complaining of earache, thankfully it is not an infection and dr has given him some drops to soften the wax.

    Os today 2 lots of washing done. Hoovered stairs @ bedrooms. Kitchen cleaned. Dog walked for nearly 2 hours(does this count).

    Bb glad you found your bracelet.
    Bramble - hope the job goes well
    bitsy- I avoid taking ds2 at all costs to the shops, he is 10 and still whinges all the way round.
    Jackieg - sounded like you had a good time yesterday evening.

    Enjoy the rest of your evening. Hugs to anyone that needs/wants one. Take care

    Evening all

    I've had one of those days....I had a meeting in sister office 40min drive away, but my colleague had taken my minibus home for weekend so needed to go to my normal office (round the corner from my flat) to pick up bus to drive there, thought I'd be clever and park my car in work car park, had a cuppa there before setting off.....get to sister office 10mins early, I wanted to pop to shops but as I was only one with keys for office decided to stay and wait for colleagues, colleagues arrive 40mins late! :mad: They apologised but if they had rung I could have gone to shops whilst waiting.....thought I'd go after meeting finished at 3, but we overran til 4 so had to head home cos had man coming to look at my leaky window at 5.....get back to where minibus lives, paralled parked in miniscule space, lock bus and realise I can't find house/car keys :eek: ring normal office and luckily they were on my desk next to coffee cup.....took minibus to office to get keys, boss then talks to me for 10mins, window man ringing me, had to take bus home or would have missed window man....window man stays for all of 3minutes but says he will come back Weds to fix it......so now I have to take minibus back, walk 10mins to get car as I stupidly left it in work car park, without my coat which I've left in the sodding office, and then finally get home, via Aldi for the food I didn't get earlier! :rotfl:

    Rant over!

    Oh dear - flutterbyuk - poor old you - what a dreadful day!
    Juliapenguin - great to see a voice from the past posting again!
    Have had a long day today - last night had to call police to get into DS' flat as he said he'd overdosed... not true but a horrid experience all the same.
    HM soup for lunch and leftover pork, minced and with peppers and mushrooms and spaghetti this evening.
    Need to get house ready for sister's visit on wednesday... but actually, does it matter? we're clean, if not tidy, so that will ahve to do!
    Hope you've all had not too bad a day. I'm off for another glass of wine - I need it!
