    What a day, phew i haven't stopped. I cleared and cleaned out every inch of the kitchen. 17 cupboard/drawers all sorted through, floor scrubbed, tap tightened, seals in dw and fridge/freezer all cleaned, bin emptied and cleaned. 3 bin bags of junk out. Then i replaced the outside light, cut the front hedges, mowed the front lawn and brushed up the front path. Homeworks all done, dinner done and ate and dw loaded and 3 loads of washing done..:D

    Feels great to get so much done but boy am i tired. Still need to sort out the tv lead for the bedroom. Boys swimming stuff in the wash now and should be ready for the morning.

    Thanks for all the hugs and Dusty your right i've been here too many times. HTT rang today and SS have been contacted so i'll have word in a few days. I don't know whats gonna happen this time as it's more serious than before..:(

    You have made me tired just reading your list from today!

    We have had our dinner and are all washed up so going to tackle the Christmas extras list now.

    Hex~ get a bag of frozen something, on your burn, to help take the heat out of it, or rub carefully with ice.

    Vanilla~ I reckon that list is a snowman on its own, well done, I hope you OH gets the help he needs.

    Which shop this year is selling the 3 in one birds for roasting?

    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.

    Car battery is mysteriously dead so had to take DH's car which is not automatic like mine!

    Decluttered a 6th form choices evening. Another one to do tomorrow afternoon.

    I'm yawning already so think I'll aim for an early night so that even if I wake up early I will hopefully get more sleep.

  • Good evening everyone!

    I saw Matt Baker on his rickshaw today :j He came within a short distance of the office, so we went to cheer him on - he looked shattered :o

    vanilla - take care hun :A

    Hex - ouch! Thought you might like to know - we've asked our butcher to bone out a leg of pork for us to make a dry cure ham :T I'll be starting a thread later in the week (collect on Friday).

    I'm very tired and I have to pick up DS1 at midnight. Very topical with the fuss in the news about rising fuel costs. How can a town 10 minutes from Stansted airport not have a bus service that runs beyond 8 pm?

    Still no phone call from the senior school. I won't phone in his absence tomorrow to make my disappointment felt. DS2 has gone downhill (doctor was obviously right about school/football) he's slept on the sofa most of the day.

    I've had a clear out of my costume bling and baubles for the school bazaar. Quite liberating really, I recycled the clothes the said bling went with so it will never see the light of day again. I've also taken 2 carrier bags of books to the CS.

    Combi oven repair tomorrow - I'm out all day with work and cross country so I hope they will come after 3.30!
