    Does anyone know if you can drive with emphysema when you wear an oxygen cylinder?

    No idea if it is legal, but someone on the school run does it every day. She is foster carer for a boy with a very difficult background so I imagine someone would pick up if she shouldn't be doing it.

    Not a huge amount done yet, I must do DW and hoover as a minimum.

    ETA Maxonian - good luck with that. I think it is one of the hardest behaviours to investigate fairly.

    As expected didn't get much done.

    Bathroom and kitchen had S&S. Dressing table in bedroom got tidied up. Can now see in the corner where my craft stuff is. Will try and sort it properly tomorrow.

    Managed to get a bit of sewing done and cooked dinner but now have a bad headache so heading off to bed.

    Daughter has a drama GCSE tomorrow so is getting all stressed, and upsetting everyone else in the process.

    Night all.

    Finished providing meals and taxi service for the day so enjoying a nice cuppa now.

    I need to do a few bits on here now though so must scoot.

    I ate today's frog and found a lovely frog who has set up home in the new pond - hope the cats don't decide to follow my lead :eek:

    Good evening :beer:
    Spent quite a bit of time 'shopping' with DH. Went to Pets at Home to get a water testing kit for the fish tank (how much!!!??!!:eek:) & dog biscuits (s'posed to get poo bags, but forgot them :o), then Homebase for a rose for the watering can, compost & new smoke alarms (got 2 tomato plants aswell, and looked at patio sets :)). Then we went Aldis for some more fruit, bread & milk. Bought some camping stuff, walking socks (DH doing 3 Peaks Challenge next month) & planters - spent £40+ (in Aldi!!)

    I managed to wash the bedding & get it back on the bed, make dinner, do my Avon order, DH fitted downstairs smoke alarm (fell off last week when I tested it :o), sowed some salad leaf seeds & helped DH book his camping trip with the kids at the weekend. Still no word on our roof being fixed :mad: but we are going to order our new shed tomorrow (more of a summerhouse really :j) & maybe buy a patio set :)

    Must find my listy....

    Yes it is, and that's why I' so tired. I need to remain on the ball and not miss anything.

    That reminds me - our 3 [STRIKE]cats [/STRIKE] monkeys had a poor little blue tit yesterday. Naughty [STRIKE]cats[/STRIKE]monkeys

    Have unearthed a charity bag that is being collected tomorrow. My aim is to fill it before 8.00am when it needs to be out. It's the take anything kind :D

    Tonight - pile of post sorted - cat litter done - 4 phone calls made - tupperware mountain washed.

    Night ladies - see you in the morning
    Yesterday is history
    Tomorrow is a mystery
    Today is a gift
    That's why we call it 'The Present'
