    Been to BnQ with DH and Dd to get garden bits and mousetraps (DH is def in charge of dealing with them)

    Have sprayed the weeds in front garden and hung some more washing out. The load I brought in has been folded and DD and I now need to get some lunch before we starve. Then I'm decluttering the back yard/garden

    Pigpen~~ with your brood I can see 1/2 washing basket full, lasting about 10 mins till there is another one.........gained any extra children today?

    LW~ well done for shifting on the load of paper work, and hope you have now recovered from it.

    What is it this week and smoke alarms bleeping at me? I have now changed the batteries in 3 of them! I also checked the others as well just to be sure, a long handled brush is great for that purpose.

    Decluttered blood and other various body fluids at the Dr's, I have wait 5 days for some of the result and 2 weeks for the other ones, I have decided I don't like the nurse I saw today, (first time I have seen her) as she made what I consider some very negative comments about the methods of controlling Type 2, have to make sure next time I specify which nurse I want to see!!

    Caught up for now.

    Valli (((HUG))) that's thoughtless of them. OK, you know DS is safe and sound due to seeing FB (and I assume DD as well - I'm assuming they're on the same trip) but you'd think they'd take time out to just text their Mum.:(

    Thanks LW

    I refuse to add a comment to the facebook posting not least because his dad and dad's GF have got there first. His dad wants them to have a nice time. A fiver each to spend might have helped. I know I am being pathetic but I really am hurt...I sweated blood (well metaphorically) to get the wherewithal together to pay for the trip. Last message I got was that they'd gone through customs at Heathrow. Intriguingly the facebook posting was via iphone. DS hasn't GOT an i phone... but he could've messaged me as easily as posting his status.
