    Evening Peeps

    Nothing much done today - paid work til 1130 then drove to Norwich for hosp appt. Lost the car keys but luckily theyd been handed in, DH would have done his nut! Appt was nothing to worry about although results take 4 weeks to get back but I'm not worried anyway. As I was done by 2, l had a wander round a huge Sainsbugs and bought Dd a new school skirt and trousers and went in a big Next home store to find the bedlinen DD now wants is out of stock everywhere and not available to order, could have bought it 2 weeks ago when she didnt want it! Came back and both skirt and trousers were too small for Porkster so took them back to our local store for a refund as they didnt have the next size up. Have only cooked tea and made the kids declutter the kitchen and give it a wipe over while I look over some paperwork that the chap I'm representing tomorrow forwarded as it was sent to us at 6.17pm, fat lot of good to prepare for tomorrow so that will be my first gripe.

    Not going to do any flying to night as I'm cold and tired and the living room looks ok although the hallway could do with a hoover as we have dog hair tumbleweeds again. Job for DS tomorrow methinks.

    Will leave my list where it was and maybe do some tomorrow.

    Oh and big hugs for Jojo sounds like todays appt was a nightmare but at least they are looking into things.

    Hugs and spoons for everyone as required

    I did put my foot down today when he asked for a lend of money because he has spent his. Then when we got home i stuck a list under his nose and told him to get on with it, his response was ''are you for real'' my response was ''i'm very for real''.:rotfl: In fairness he did do the list, all easy stuff to do and only took him half an hour, so i've told him there will be one for tomorrow. He'll get used to them. :D

    :T:T:A Well done! That's a step forward too. :)

    SSL - good luck with the interview :)

    Jojo - (((big hugs)))

    MrsChaos - I hope you get it all sorted. I know this is a stressful time, and not just for the kids!

    I managed to get my 2nd load out of WM & on to the line, & in again. I thought i was going to get away with not hoovering the LR tonight, as the boys had their sandwiches in the garden - but then the dog decided to disembowell an old teddy :mad:
    I also managed to send an email about the caterpillar order that arrived today - with no caterpillars!! They are in a sorting office somewhere in Germany (this is a learning experience for the kids, incase you were wondering :D). This is the sort of job I put off, so I am pleased with myself :j
    I am hoping to have a good day tomorrow - still motivated!! :T

    Found the biggest spider living behind my log burner. It was enormous - probably been living there in peace for a few weeks, and boy could he run fast. Nowhere to hide tho now all the junk picked up off the floor. Tidied numerous sheets of music up luking behind the piano. Going to tackle teenage DD's room tomorrow. Wish me luck!

    Good to see you back, hoping you have more good days.

    Off to bed now, dentist in the morning (yuck) so maybe on before I go if not see you all later.
