Call Council tax ppl ref work[/STRIKE]
Send ESA appeal letter from work
[STRIKE]Call Open Uni for PT3 forms[/STRIKE]
Organise work bag, clothes, shoes etc

Ok good start.. Council tax people have to send me a form but have suspended my payments so they do not overpay me. ESA is now in closure mode and there is a chance I might get some return to work grant payment so that would be a big help with fuel etc.

Have decided to have a PJ day as well.. why not eh!:rotfl:

Going to finish coffee and then start a HHC in the bedroom at 11.30..

Anyone fancy joining me?

Morning all and happy hump day.

Spent the morning so far tidying and clearing hotspots, sorting out the recycling etc. Next step hoovering downstairs as I'm cold and that will warm me up no end.

Vanilla - good luck and however arduous it seems now don't loose sight of the fact that it will be worth it in the long run. It is IMHO important for kids to learn that adults can be trusted to do something about situations and make a change, it will help them to do this themselves when they are adults.

Jjef congratulations I am in awe

Love and hugs for Lady Liberty and Toots sending spoons to you both

it's a small country school which is half the distance away and has a good straight back road to it for the bad weather. I've rung them and there going to get the head to give me a ring and hopefully we'll get to go view it soon. I must draw up a list of questions.....

Just be a bit careful about small country schools, it may well be excellent, but they may be 30 years behind the times like ours is...not always a bad thing, but ours have no comprehension of things like accountability...

Was going for another HHC, but the guys turned up and fixed the garage door, what excellent service!

Have collected up loads of dead flowers, though.

Finished a bit early cause I need food, but hoovered right through upstairs, put more washing on and put away dishes. DD can dust her room after school....was going to go to the cinema but that is not an option at the mo.......will carry on after a sandwich and a cuppa......

life_in_termoil

unloaded and reloaded DW
unloaded and reloaded WM
unloaded and reloaded TD
cleared the coffee table
hoovered the hall and lounge

Gonna have a quick cuppa then carry on x
