Afternoon all,
I've done nothing but dailies today, not even any work. I had a headache this morning so laid down on the sofa at 10 and woke up at 1.30 with the phone ringing. :eek: After that i just watched tv until it was time to pick up Ds2.
I really need to do some flying before this house descends into CHAOS it's not at the moment but it wouldn't take much. A lot of hot spots have developed and as the boys are using my bedroom with the mirrored wardrobes to get ready in the mornings it's a bit messy. :cool: Nothing a couple of HHC's won't sort out.
Just sorting out my lists and then i'll get cracking.

After a lousy night's sleep (3 hours at best), got up and escorted Minion to the bus stop again. Then went and bought a latte, bacon roll and chunky kitkat to take home again, as I really CBA to do anything. Scoffed and went back to bed until midday - I just couldn't function.
Since then, have done absolutely nowt other than water some plants, load the WM and
Rebook Minion's orthodontics appointment. November this time.
Call the OU to find they have lost my financial support application, so there is no guarantee I'll get my place on the course this year :mad: and the snotty cow on the phone was sooooooo rude, you'd think that she was working in a benefits office!!!!
Call the benefits office to see whether the review form had been received, to have a lovely lady speak to me and confirm it was never an investigation, just a review and that it had been dealt with in three days, there was no change and I shouldn't have been worried about it at all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Minion has just come in to give me an account of the people she hates who are annoying her already at school
nice to see she's back to normal! I could dream to wide extremes, I could do or die: I could yawn and be withdrawn and watch the world go by.Yup you are officially Rock n Roll
