    Dinner now on here, dw on second load and door frame painted. DS1 has stuck his fingers on the nice painted door so i'll have to check what damage he's done...:mad: Why he goes in there i don't know, he and the rest where told not to go near the big shed. I bet if i said go in and mess it up they wouldn't go near it.

    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.

    Just the dailies done today as been to my voluntary job.

    The old man who let his dog chase my cat a few weeks ago let it into the garden tonight. He didnt expect me to go out and bellow at him but thinks its funny. Told him I will contact the police and have done. Thank God the cat wasnt out I had just got him in ten minutes before.

    Clean washing put away.
    Bin brought in.
    Living room started.

    Boddy - that's outrageous... Someone is letting their dog into your garden to chase your cat? Does he let it cr*p there too? Surely that's trespass? Try the RSPCA too...

    Today hasn't started as well as I'd have liked. One month old still has diarrhoea and a rash so we're going to see the GP at 10am this morning. I'll attack the list when we get back.

    well, we saw the GP and she asked me to take Ella to A&E. five hours later we have some hypoallergenic milk to try (worryingly it says on tin that it taste's foul so baby might not like it) and for the breastfeeds, I've been told to keep to a very strict dairy free diet :(.

    However, very little got done from the list today. I managed to wash the woollens and sterilised the feed bottles and DH washed the crockery and cutlery. tomorrow has to be better than this and I can get at least something done from the list...

    Cat.. You not eating dairy only works if there is an allergy to cows milk protein.. in which case you are fine having soya or goats milk.. If it is a lactose intolerance nothing will change, lactose is the sugar in milk you cant not have it in breastmilk.
