    Good start to the day. Finished menu fronts, delivery came early, OH and I spent over 2 hours in the garden. Went out for lunch and looked at 2 houses we are VERY interested in, got food shopping. Been in house minutes and sister rang, mum not well at all and in hospital. No diagnosis yet so trying not to worry, dad going back in soon. Not the best week but waiting to see what is wrong and if she can come up before we make a decision on the wedding. We have discussed it though so know our different options. Hope to hear something soon, I would like to get married in 5 days time if possible.

    I've done everything on the list . . . except wash the floor and wash the windows :o
    I will do the floor during the day when everyone else is out. I was planning to do the all windows on Friday after the new ones fitted, but when the bloke came to measure up he said it would be being fitted til the following week! :eek: :mad:
    DD1 helped me in the kitchen today while DD2 OFFERED to hoover the stairs and landing!!:eek:
    Took the swollen cat to the vet, it seems she's been fighting and now has an abscess in her cheek. £40 later she has to go back tomorrow to get it lanced costing another £90!! :( I can ill afford it this week but it can't be helped.
    I'm going to hopefully sit down with DD1 and sort out our household budget.
    Off the dish dinner up . . .

    £90 to lance an abcess?!?!?! :eek: Rip off merchants or what.. ours was £17 when I took Crackpot!!!!!! They lanced it and washed it out with saline and gave him AB injection. Cheeky gits.. it takes about 5 minutes!!!!!

    Ours cleaned he windows when he put them in and whatever they used was wonderful they didn't get dirty for weeks and weeks!

    4 small girls in bed..

    3 boxes of dressing up clothes sorted into 2 boxes and a binbag full for nursery.. I'll whizz it through the washer and get them dropped off tomorrow.. so the 2 sorted boxes are stashed in DD1's room... 2 down 1 million more to do!! lol I have a couple of bits found for Squeak too :D

    Gateway to exmoor ;)
    I'm south of dartmoor... I've never actually made it up to exmoor... I've been spending my holidays here my entire life, and very rarely leave the village. However, if it rains this week I'm planning on a couple of shopping trips, as there are a few local towns that have very good shops.

    Plan for tomorrow is therefore:
    Run
    Breakfast
    Kayak
    Lie around in garden OR go out shopping
    Lunch
    Lie around in garden or carry on shopping
    Walk
    Supper
    Read
    Sleep

    And will probably be repeated for the next few days with very ittle variation.

    OK, pub time done (can't bloomin' ring npower yet, or the water people, or ANYONE so my main jobs for today can't be done) so it's time to bleach this mould. I have bleach, and lots of it *puts war face on*

    And I need some food at some point (though I'm really not feeling it... for some reason when I come back to uni my sleeping and eating halves) so I need to be down at Lidl by 10 or Mr T by 11. Both are a 5 min walk, bliss :D

    Lidl have decent loo roll in - 24 rolls for £7, bargain.

    ETA - as if NOTHING ELSE could *possibly* have gone wrong with this damn flat, I can't open the "£$*%&£$*^ front door, it looks like someone's snapped a key in it, so I have to walk ALL the way round the back (the alley is overgrown so it's a 5 min walk!) GRRRRRRRRR :mad: :mad: :mad:
