    Urgh what a day, winds, people 'not having stuff we need, nothing seems to go right, DP having arguments at work/it's quiet, DS1 trying to make my hair grey etc and so on

    Thank **** it's Friday!

    Right, DP because he's nice like that has invited his friend over on Sunday evening, well the house is a sodding tip so he'll have to help sort it tomorrow as some stuff he was supposed to remove ages ago, loads of tools/cables etc around so I'll make a start and do the kitchen but he's helping this time with the rest tomorrow. Boys will be home too as not got the cash for social group so they're also mucking in on mucking out!

    Right, kids teas (had pacifier) then some kitchen work I think as DP won't touch in there I'm better off doing that first

    A later 7.15-7.45 hhc anyone?
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    I got up early and tidied, cleaned & put 2 loads in WM. Good job too as I twisted my ankle and fell on the way to take my son to school. Spent morning at a walk in centre then A&E. Have hurt my wrist & have to wear a splint for 10 days then go back. Wonder how to keep up, but pleased house isn't a tip yet.

    Well I'm trully hacked off.. if anyone wants OH, DS3 or DD3 please feel free to take the lot.. Take about taken for sodding granted.. I have put out 3 binbags of rubbish and recycling, loaded un loaded and reloaded the DW, done dinner, fed the baby dealt with DS1 having a minor hissy, intervened 4 times when DS3/OH/DD3 have been kicking off and sorted the baby after each time when she has been crying hysterically because they were all shouting and made her sad, made a cuppa for half my FB friends.. I gave OH the baby's pj's and I have now stripped her naked and she is having a wriggle on the floor nekkid but...

    no doubt I'll get to dress her too, then feed her and put her to bed then no doubt make another cuppa and get the older 3 to bed.. if they don't watch out I'll be trotting my little self off to the pub and leave them all to their own idleness!! And the DW, WM and TD all need refeeding and I have 4 loads to fold.

    Tiddles came home with chewed up spat out fish on her coat from lunch time.. that is nasty!! She keeps asking me when FW is having them and as far as I am aware he isn't.. ever.. he was supposed to have them Thursday but was 'too busy' .. selfish !!!!!!.. though.. did I mention he has signed the papers so the house is mine and he has no right of access and no claim to any profit should I choose to sell it :D

    I am VERY cross.. and totally fed up...

    Sockdrawer this lists what you can/not take on flights etc..

    Thanks for the link so you can sew and knit on the flight:T

    Managed some basic level flying today. DS2 sent home from school again unwell, poor thing is fed up of having a cold and sore throat now.

    It is really windy weather here still - ideal burglary weather so take precautions if heading out.

    Going to tidy up the kitchen and put clean linen on our bed and then call it a day as I'm a bit jaded now.
