    Evening all

    Well was late home from work and DH is officially a FW at the moment:mad: when i was picking DD1 up from my mam and dad's he phoned with the words "i'm going out in 5 minutes" so i had to rush home to find him in the shower and his "mate" on the phone moaning cos he wasn't there already! 5 minutes after he left said mate was back on the phone. given that i still don't know what's happening about my job i was in a sh***y mood and gave him the ice cold shoulder and told him i could have done with some support but hey ho ... snooker is more important than family right now ... was supposed to have some "me" time and go to a creative writing class tonight but for the 3rd week running i've not been able to go along ... feeling like i am a f***ing doormat at the mo!:mad::mad::mad:

    so had to get parentals to come along and look after DD1 and DD2 so i could go buy DD1 a red t-shirt ... its her sports day tomoz and i can't go:( so he better get his A**e out of bed for that tomorrow or he will be in serious S**t!

    Red t-shirt bought ... said £6 on the labels but rung up at self service till at Mr T's said £3.50 ... not arguing with that!

    One a plus side ... decluttered 500 emails at work today so not a bad thing! Will do extra flying tomorrow as so knackered i need my bed now!

    Hugs and spoons to those who need/want them and healing vibes to those with toothy problems .. i feel your pain ... night night all

    I was going to trot for a shower tonight but I can't be bothered.. I'll just scrub extra hard in the morning lol
    *holds nose* It's OK.... Mr LW totally missed the sarcasm that was supposed to send him running for the shower after he cut the grass yesterday.:D

    The Flying Bit: BIN DONE!!!:D 'Tis all clean and sweet-smelling! And, believe it or not, FOUR weeks' worth of rubbish is outside in the black bag.

    Missing Sidney - and, given the situation, we may not get him to stay again; I mean, it's got to have a major effect on the owners' holiday plans to have a stroke on board ship.:(

    However... he went away to his new "hotel" happy, and if I don't get him to stay again, at least I know he enjoyed his time here.:o

    Off to bed now; prob won't be online tomorrow, so Happy Solstice everyone.:D
    If your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)

    Morning everyone. Abolutely cream crackered after spending all last night with DH sorting out new dishwasher. Its all fitted into place but the template for the door doesn't fit the position of the screws:mad: so my extra for today is to make a new template - tried to do it last night but we were just too tired to think straight! And of course we have the obligatory bit left over:rotfl:

    Froddy - good luck with Ofsted
    Uropababe- hope the dentist sorts you out

    Morning Flybies

    I have been up most of the night catching yucky streaming nose stuff. Now have a sore throat from mouth breathing.

    To do
    update finance ssheet
    plan meals
    sort grocery cupboards

    Just realised I have my own Toots list. It is on a large White board in the kitchen. I have a reminded of jobs needed doing. DH did some whilst I was at tap last night. I think he thinks it is his list of what I want him to do. I will keep quiet :)
