  • ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!! next arrived to pick up the bookcase but sent a man with a tiny van, it took 2 people and a transit van to deliver it in the first place so who knows what they were thinking.

    however spoke to a lovely lady called becky after being passed from pillar to post by her collegues and she has waived the £30 collection charge for me. only downside is, its not being picked up till next monday :( so cant do the living room floor properly.

    ive also got pregnancy brain. i didnt buy the lightshade for the babys room as i didnt like the look of it, but i have put the hall and bedroom lightshade up.

    going to waste a bit of time and then go for a HHC at 1pm.

    he is such a wriggler it wouldnt make a difference the blood would be over everything.

    ive had to put 2 bedguards on his bed coz he wriggled so much he fell out after turning upside down and going down the bottom of the bed past the guard!

    Were having new windows fitted today/tomorrow so I'm not sure if anything I do this week will be a bit futile! Were having new windows fitted in literally every room as the seals have gone on them so we have cloudy windows all the time!:(

    Ah well, we'll see what happens, hopefully it wont take them that long!

    Hugs to those that might need it! :o

    Afternoon, busy here today. DS1 fell last night and cut his knee, deep enough and blood everywhere. Then Rhys hits his month off the cot so more blood.

    Bathroom has been cleaned top to bottom and hubby has put bonding on the walls. Hall has been cleared and hoovered. Need to do a shop run now then get Rhys down for a snooze. Then i can go gloss one side of the door.:D
    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.

    Spiders? Or mice?

    I have put my holiday request in for September. Can't do the November one yet, as sis wants me to wait until her scan in Sept, as they may decide then that she needs a C-section.

    Have decided on a nice omelette for tonight's tea, with peppers, onions and bacon. Thankfully, already have all the ingredients and the peppers are already sliced (left over from another recipe). :D
