    Ok, here I go.........

    I am sorting the boys bedroom. So far I have hit my head on a bunkbed six times :cool:

    One large pile of washing (and I don't need to buy DS1 more socks so that can go off the list), one black bag of paper and wrappers :mad: and some furniture removed. Needs at least another HHC so am going to have a quick cup of tea and then start again at 1pm

    I also removed a pile of baby books that have been put out for recycling before and obviously sneaked back in. No idea where they get that sort of behaviour from.....

    Poohbear I hope you're on your way to DS now and that it turns out to be a storm in a tea cup.

    I took DD2 to school and took DS3 to work for an hour. He was so excited and played with the race track that I use to check out replacement parts. We then sat in the doctors for an hour and a half to get a tube of antibiotic cream. It's so annoying and pointless. I know what is needed why can't they just write a prescription and leave it at reception.

    :mad:I'm going to murder DS1 he has eaten my packet of giant buttons.

    Right I need to load the DW and WM....

    I'm doing my boys room, haven't hit my head on the bunkbed but lost count of the number of toys I've trodden on. How they can make so much mess in a couple of days I don't know.

    Think I'll have to get the bin bags in there next week for another little sort out.

    Ello folks,

    Hug to all those in need

    :beer: Happy Birthday Mumof2 xxx

    Up and about at a decent time today. Been and had my counselling and a good cry, I didnt realise how much all this medical business had upset me till I spoke to her. Spoke to my occupation health nurse who is going to do me a letter for my ESA appeal :) which was so sweet I nearly cried again.
    Mum was deposited and collected from Mr M's while I went into work. I nipped in and grabbed a few bits too. Now I am home having a coffee and trying to get myself motivated. (BAD nights sleep again).

    Have made a good start by emailing my local fire brigade and getting myself on the list to be called for a fire safety assessment. Ever so simple to do and the dodgy fire alarm I have is seriously on its last legs. So, that's a good job done.:T

    Got confirmation for my insulation to be done too.:T

    Done some forum work on my Open Uni tutor group regarding the next assignment.
    Now... HOUSE!
