    Ugh... what is it with some men?

    I mean, literally on the 5 min walk back from Tesco, 'how about we go on a date? Baby you don't have to break up with your boyfriend [of 3 years], we can just chill, he doesn't need to know, you're so beautiful, blah blah blah'. £$%*&$ tried to kiss me and was edging towards my alleyway (front door still not fixed) so I told him to £$%^ right off, and he was NOT going down the alley. Left me alone eventually. Grrrr. :mad:
    :eek::eek::eek:
    You must get that front door fixed asap - make a fuss until it's done - you cannot keep having to use that alley.

    Morning ladies,

    Rubbish day yesterday. My head was all over the place.

    Today is a bright new day though (well actually it's raining)

    So far I have done 2 x HHI and I am just having a sit down with a brew.

    I am going to do another HHI, then cat litter, then a bin bag dance, then see what the time is.
    I have the dentist this morning for a big old filling that is cracked. Then I have voluntary stuff at prison this afternoon.
    Could also to with going to a sainsbugs cos the cat food is on offer.

    Off i go.......

    Happy Birthday Tag
    Yesterday is history

    Morning lovelies! :wave:

    Happy 40th TAG :p:D have a super day! xx

    Been to the shop for crisps for littleys pack-up (someone ate them all) building site is still in full swing and not in my good books already this morning :rotfl:and surprise surprise it aint gonna be finished when they said it would *deleted big rant* cos i'm always moaning lol

    Put washing on the airer as it's soaking outside, fed the cat, made my bed, got ready for work, pack-up sorted, tidied LR, WM on again and just finished so I'll stick that on the airer too. Downstairs loo is broken again, carpet remnant (covering some of the kitchen floor) laid back down as it was soaking after the flood debacle last night- which, incidentally OH fixed it temporarily but had to rip the bath panel off, no way were we going 2 weeks without a bath/shower. Erm, what else...made 2 brews.

    Going to, make my sarnie for work, a 3 and a 2hrs back to back today, then need to go straight to the bank to put dosh in. Make tea when I come back and sort stuff out.

    Frittered Away :eek: that must have put the wind up you, Crafty's right you need to get the front door sorted asap, well done on unpacking the most important thing .....shoooooooooooooos :D
