  • I have a confession to make Scarlett had a really bad night (woke up 8 times) and after I ran my errands this morning I'm afraid I crashed! Scarlett and I have spent the afternoon in bed.

    OH is going to be so mad the house looks awful.

    Anyone for a Half Hour Clean/Challenge thingy?

    Need to do something before he gets home.

  • Its the puppy's fault...not that she is making much mess anymore, but its much nicer sitting and cuddling her/playing with her than flying.

    No...nothing done so far.

  • Hello my lovelies – sorry for not posting for a week, hope you are all well. Hugs, spoons, kicks and sticks in abundance to those that need them.

    Keeping on top of housework – but only on top – it all could do with a spring clean when I have the time and energy and that ain’t going to be for a while yet.

    Still loads of sh$te going on. I am ready to throttle anyone and everyone at our local education authority as they seem to think it’s fine not to look at a year 10’s application for a week and then say it could take 2-3 weeks to get step daughter into our local school! So that means potentially her missing up to FOUR weeks school! Have e-mailed my local MP and rung the school today to see if there’s anything they can do to help. I am waiting for a ‘Year 10 Leadership Team Link’ person to phone me back – I’ve tried to ring them twice today.

    Anyway sorry for the rant.

    Flying will be minimal tonight as we always go to my sisters on a Tuesday and step daughter will have her tea with our nieces. Will pop a dark wash in when I get home.

    Take care all – sorry to run in and dash off again xx
