Well, we finally managed to get a doctors appointment this afternoon, other than reasurring mum this should pass and not to leave her on her own theres nothing more they can do at the moment. I am having a sleep over with her again tonight:D, Dad will be back tomorrow so evenings will be sorted. Despite everything I think we are both enjoying each others company:) Last night we put the fire on then when we went to bed we both took a hot water bottle!
Not sure my brain will be in tip top condition for work tomorrow - luckily I am due a quiet day, now who bets that won't happen:eek:
Hope everyone is well.

Good news:j
Mum (and therefore I) had a good nights sleep:j
Today has been a nice quiet, catching up with paperwork day, shame i've got two MS's booked and more work tonight, all booked before the sleepless weekend so nothing I can do about it. Everything ready for tonight though and crib notes ready for the MS's (they are only quick ones but I could do without having to write up the reports when I get home a 9pm:()
Went to the supermarket at lunch time and my CC got refused - ops! The only thing I can think is they sent us new ones but the old ones are still in date, so we are using the old ones still. Anyway it is in hubbies name so I have phoned him and [STRIKE]told[/STRIKE] asked (:o)him to ring them when he gets home.
Hope you are all enjoying the sunshine.

Things are back to normal.:D As normal as they ever get in TPA land:p
Work and MSs were not as bad as anticipated last night. Slept like a log and am feeling much more refreshed today.
To do list:
- Must get back to money matters.:)
- Must tidy the house, if burglars came in at the moment they would sod off thinking we had already been 'done'. Hmmm good reason for doing nothing perhaps:cool:
- Must pay that blasted tax bill:(
- Must sort out why my CC was declinded yesterday - awww, could be a bonus, cannot spend much without it:o
- Must organise my lesson plan for next Tuesdays evenings work
- Must spend some quality time with hubby:) Easy to forget this one, yet it's the most important one:o

OK, the list didn't go quite to plan, but I did:
- Make a start on tidying the house
- Do the majority of my lesson plan for next week
- Starting sorting money - need to spend some more time organising things tonight
- Spend a couple of hours vegging with hubby on the sofa:rotfl:
- Hubby found out that card was declinded as they had sent us new ones (even though the 'old' ones still had two years remaining on them:eek:) So we have to wait 5 - 7 working days for more new ones to be sent:eek:

I have just found my dream property! OK so we need a win on the lottery to purchase it, as it is priced at £375,000 more than we could get for ours! :eek:I often look online for properties and have never found anything that matches this, the land, the house, the potential the area all suit my aspirations............oh well I can dream.:rotfl:

On a more sensible note we have had someone round to measure up for the fencing, he should be ringing back later, we need approx. 150 foot worth of fencing and three gates, sound huge put down like that, but its not! We have access either side of the house, hence two gates and would like a further gate on the back fence to allow us access to lane out the back (easier/good dog walking!) We have someone else coming to quote tomorrow. I have no idea how much this is going to cost but I have a horrible feeling it is going to be major money:(
I have a huge blister on my little toe, I cannot believe how much it hurts, I'm such a wimp!

The local (ish) timber place gave us the details of both fencers (is that what you call people that put fencing up??) Will your local timber merchants deliver?
I hadn't thought about 'meeting a millionare' as an option, but if I di I supose I would have to give hubby the boot??:eek::p:o:rotfl:

I forgot to confess, I ordered some clothes from Evans, I did get 40% off but still spent about £60:eek: Ops..it was accidental, you know, like GG buying 'that' house! I do feel better for getting a few items that actually fit. I also bought a pair of jeans for £3 from the charity shop:j:j
