    I spent the day at the NEC on a trade stand which was interesting. Managed to sneak and do some food shopping on the way back and then collected the boys with moments to spare. We have unpacked the shopping, hid the bits that will get pinched by the teenagers, put a chicken in the oven for dinner, put the DW on, stripped my bedding and put the WM on (carefully stepping over the bag of teenage washing left in the kitchen), made hotdogs in buns for boy snack (mm, nutritious :roll eyes:) and collapsed in yet another exhausted heap.

    I've been Money Tipped!
    Urgh, I need a kick up the backside t get going again. I felt rotten this mornign but better now so no excuse for sitting here like a deflated balloon. I just hate having routine stuff left at the end of a day.

    So, as a treat I've plugged in an elecric heater down stairs. I'm going to pop up and have a bath with some invigorating essential oils then come down and re-clear the decks.

    I have managed to catch up and managed levels one and two for three days. Very pleased with myself. I have also spent a lot of time looking for electrical items for next door.

    Plumber didn't turn up again today. I have sent him a nice text asking if he is okay.

    hex I felt tired just reading about your day. How on earth did you manage? I hope you are doing okay.

    cycling Have some hugs from me.I hope that now that your OH has apologised and explained he can get some help, maybe some counselling. Admitting it is half the battle.

    Something really odd has happened with my last set of ebay sales... they ended on Sunday, everybody's paid and it's all in the post:D

    Wolfie: Thanks for the DillyDog video, she looked as if she was offering the toy to you to have your turn towards the end!

    Went to see the True Grit film this morning and it was really enjoyable. No, I haven't seen the John Wayne version. Well, not yet.

    Ah well, back to the floordrobe: I managed to corral the stuff I brought back from the weekend away but there was one of those hillocks of stuff that had come out of the wardrobe and hadn't gone back from whence it came, or to the washer or.... oh, you know what I mean.;)
