    Morning all, flip it's windy here this morning and the electric has been out over night. I've phoned the dentist and they've no appointments so i need to go in some morning and just wait...i think i'll leave it until thursday when the kids are all back at school..

    Got OH booked in with the GP for later and he's back down at the AU today. I honestly can't wait to get this appointment over with and i think OH is the same..

    Right i best shift my bum, Dw need unloaded, fire needs lit, stick box needs filled, kids need fed.
    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.
