morning all

after my blah yesterday ive got some umpf today to have already done a bin bag dance upstairs (3 to go to the bin as its bin day) so will take them with me on my way downstairs. then i MUST do the living room list today bar the floor as ive got another bit of furniture being delivered this afternoon. bit worried as looking closely at it its self build :eek: but im hoping as its huge, self build is meaning attach a couple of shelves which i can do easily, if not will be asking for help big time.

also need to go to the shops and get some bread and juice and get soem cash as well, so will do that shortly as the gardner guy is coming at some point this week and i need cash for him.

ok off i go on a HHC

Good morning
I need to get my @r$e out of bed!! I am hungry
I need to update my lists and actually do something. The LR door has been winding me up, as it has never been painted properly since we got it (it has some patches of paint on it - how does that work??!!) So I may go and look in the shed to see if we have paint and do that (while DH is at work, & I have no kids today)

I must also ring tax credits today

Right, I am getting up now, so no need to throw fluffy mules

Yesterday ended up really busy. DS1 helped me at school, in between flicking elastic bands at me and subjecting me to 'Bring me the horizon' :eek:. My classroom now looks so much better - just the storeroom and the office left to do. I also went to costco's with DS2, did some more laundry, sorted tea and visited MIL.

I wasn't going to work today, but I've come in to do computer stuff and keep out of the way. DS2 will be late home from school, as it's their end of term disco. I'll call at Mr M's on the way back for petrol and some presents for his teachers.

The weather is gorgeous and it would have been great to do the garden and finish the laundry, but it's better this way. I'll catch up with everyone later. x

am going to go and get showered and dressed and then pop out and do my outside house bits whilst i can.

Study is pretty much tidy and has been hoovered, so I can start moving stuff from the landing and spare room in there. CBA to wash the floor as yet again none of the promised help has materialised... OH called to say he had to deflea his youngest and then take him to his friend's, so wouldn't have time to get here before having to go back and look at a house for his parents. He's now upset because he hasn't seen me for ages so hopefully will get his head round the need to start saying no to people and also realising that sometimes it is ok to say sorry, plans have changed and I can't do xyz. No one else seems to realise how emotionally and mentally fragile he is right now, so they're just putting more pressure on. Still, at least he is realising!

Not sure what has happened to the other help. Still, my mother will be here soon, so can help with stuff this afternoon.

The sun has appeared, so I plan to get a couple of loads of washing done.

Need to make some baba ganoush now, or we won't have anything for lunch, then get on with as much housework as I can before I have to put in an appearance for work!

2xwm on whirley, my Dad is driving us to DS2 dentist as I still feel rough, am feeding DS2 early as he probably wont be able to eat afterwards.

You're welcome to visit... and save me from my mother...

Baba ganoush made, garden furniture out, first lot of washing on the line. Need to decide what's next... I suppose I should try to make the spare room habitable for my mother... And then maybe she'll deal with the spider I squashed with a book last night

Problem is, I actually want everything to be cleaned thoroughly before being put back together

Oh well, might as well go and shove another load of laundry in, which will make a bit of space. Then I might go and sit in the garden for a bit.

right how hard is it to print something out?! my dads printer was broken so i went to the library but it told me the letter i was trying to open was "obcene or pornographic material" it was a letter to
hmrc!!!

now mt dads printer is working but his net is broke and its decided it doesnt want to print from my comp and i cant get it to my dads to print so back to the library and used the old copy and paste trick into an email then back to the word doc and it prints 1 but the other it wont display?!?! i mean really? give me a break!!!

i need to get tea in the SC but i think it will end up an oven sausage casserole instead coz im treating DS1 to a trip to a fast food place thats a yellow upside down w while DS2 who cant eat anything from there is at nursery.

i have solicitors at 2 as well. oh the joys!!

Looks like I will be getting some help later ... Admittedly when I'm working, but hopefully my more will be here to supervise. Although I thought I would have heard from her by now about which train she is getting...
