    DD's school meeting done, she's still behind but we'll work on that. No news from the other school but hopefully tomorrow they'll get in touch.

    Dinner done, dw on and kids ready for clubs tonight. Need to be heading shortly. I've such a sore head tonight so it will be washing, dishes and bed early. :D
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.

    Nicki - the place smells much better now:rotfl:
    Toots - I think you're probably right so i'm just going to chill for the rest of the evening. DH is doing the club runs. Each time I go into a room I tidy one thing up and that's making a difference.

    Dog feeding time and then i'm putting my feet up xx

    so we would have another driver to give OH and myself a break...

    £1200...how much? !!!!!! !! I can buy a wreck for that...with Tax

    £1200 for a week,:eek: for a 21yr old, full license holder for 2 yrs.but he's a student....

    £1200 for a 20 year old Land Rover, not a bl00dy Porsche....

    Hi everyone :) Iggy (my cat) has woken up and is alert, the vet thinks he will def pull through now, but will need to stay in for at least another 24hours. She also said she needed to do another set of blood tests today to see if there is any long term damage (but there won't be, will there :p)

    I am very, very happy about this as you an imagine :)

    That's really fantastic news! :D

    Shysarah - hope it all went well?

    Well that's me finished work for the week so i guess I'd best find a list.
    Only just cooking dinner cos DH is out in his lycra.

    I've just been up the road to 2 x neighbours....
    1 who has just got married - and 1 who has a daughter in law who is quite poorly. i just shoved cards through their doors but am now quietly carping it in case they knock here and I have to ask them in!

    Oh well - back to dinner.........
