Tooch have a hug. Boys driving me senseless (don't usually) so I have the controls to all games/tv etc. Two of their bedrooms are now tidy and one is still scowling and sobbing intermittently.
I'll go dust the bedrooms whilst I can get in them and 2 can go out and do their outside jobs.The birds of sadness may fly overhead but don't let them nest in your hair0 -

I remembered I need to do the financial pages of student loan forms for DSs 2 and 3, so have searched for P60s etc.
I have ordered a new laptop too as I am sick to death of this one not working. Put it on an interest free credit card. Now just have to make sure I remember to pay it off in time.
Today is the second day that I have been home alone in over a year> Bliss! No TV, no games machines, no mess. Everything I tidied yesterday has stayed the same.
Sorry folks who have kiddies home today.business mortgage £0))''(+ Barclay's business kitchen loan £0=Total paid off was £96105 PPI claimed and received £13527

Well, other than to go to the bathroom (which I have S&S), I have not actually emerged from the bedroom.
With children all over the place I thought it was the safest place to be! Sadly they love me so much they have been in and out all day!
I have been fed a chicken thing from Burger King and some McD chips, and watered occasionally. :rotfl: Off on a school trip tomorrow so have to be really careful what I eat and amazingly junk food doesn't play me up too much.
Bedroom mostly done yesterday so have spent the time sorting paperwork.
