    1x WM done, S&S bathroom done, S&S kitchen done

    DS2 has asked for a body guard to go to school with to stop people annoying him. I'm trying to be positive but due to his holiday behaviour I would be surprised if he makes it to Friday without school ringing me. He is being observed today and Friday by the autism team.

    I have a meeting at home at 9.45 so better get my act together and get a couple of HHC's in. Feel free to join me.

    OK, update from me:

    Wash dishes (another load done)
    Make veggie soup for dinner and lunches (made, very tasty! Have it with me for lunch today! YUMMY!)
    Get to bed at reasonable hour! (Accomplished. Well, 11.15pm is better than 12.15am, and I was woken as early as yesterday, so am feeling more refreshed)

    I also managed to fit in cleaning the toilet. :D

    Today's list:

    WM x1
    Wash dishes
    Pack for UK trip (leave tomorrow, straight from work)
    Pluck eyebrows (!!!!! - look like a hairy Gorilla!)
    Use a Facemask :D
    Re-Do nails - if time
    PUT SOMETHING ON EBAY!!!
    Enjoy some quality time with the OH
    Sew hem on work trousers (if time)

    That's all I am going to plan for at the moment, as my wrist started playing up again last night, out of the blue, and is really quite sore right now. Ho hum, another day another dollar and all that.

    Morning all, we've had a busy few days but none of it flying..:( House is a big tip at the minute so today and tonight i plan to get as much done as possible as i'll be out all day tomorrow.

    My sister had her hospital appointment on monday and is booked in for a c-section on the 21st (exactly 2 weeks away)......:eek: Then we went to see BIL and boy his leg is scary. We seen it undressed as they were going to tighten the stitches. He seems to be doing really well now and is using cructes. Hopefully he'll be back home this weekend or beginning of next week..:D

    His work are being a PITA so i'm going with sister today to straighten it out. There landlord has been brilliant and was raging that no one had been out yet about the oil and fire so we'll keep him informed with whats going on.:D

    DD off school today for her new insoles and to get her new glasses. She gonna be on the BBC tomorrow night for family focus....some child didn't get a placement in the school so his parents have went to the BBC. I've told the head teacher that the board was great with us and that i wouldn't want to do an interview (they wanted me on it too) but that DD could if it was only questions about how much she enjoys her new school and that there is no mention of the old one..

    Right i best get a move on....
    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.
