    Morning lovelies! :wave:

    It's windy today so there's a nice breeze blowing through the sitting room to air it off, this house stinks but it's due to a blocked drain out the back which I'll need to sort out. In a bit of a moody today so will not type what's in my head, I'll just add the list of things to do lol

    dishes
    wipe benches
    make beds
    sort washing for OH's
    work 9.10 till 4pm *sigh*
    buy tea on way home
    buy gas/elec (again)
    Jue's bathroom list
    hoover through downstairs
    cook tea
    bring bin in

    Drove past my house yesterday and the new windows and doors are on :j although I had to query the front door as my house is back to front and I wanted the proper front door on it, not the back door, confused much? :D anyway they're putting the front door on both (they're lovely) .......apparently.... as the back door was on the front door at the time. It's looking good though and I have a sneaking suspicion it will be done in 4-5 weeks not 6-8 as they're flying along. :T I'm homesick :(

    Best get ready for work, laters x

    Glad it's coming along well.

    JoJo well done for surviving your mother

    Trying really hard to be more positive today, not working so far. I've been to the shop and got some milk as the inconsiderate one had drank it all.

    Plan is a cuppa and brekki then a HH flutter before heading out. Need to get that driving licence photo done and a mooch around the galleria to avoid being home during lunchtime time when DS1 is home as I'm so not in the mood for another hissy fit:(

  • Good morning :D

    I hope to do a bit of flying today :o although paperwork of various sorts is quite high on my list (including studying). My tax return is 43% done! Just need to dig out details of interest on bank accounts (probably the grand sum of about £5!!), and I have done 2 out of 3 observations so far this week from my frog list.

    There was a minor miracle this morning! I folded the washing from the TD, and every single sock had a partner!! :j I can't remember the last time this happened (or if it has EVER happened :rotfl:)

    I have just had a heart attack!! I am alone in the house with a LO, and suddenly there is a lot of noise from upstairs :eek: I go and investigate, to find a guilty looking cat looking down at me from DD2's loft bed, and some (extra) junk on the floor, including pictures etc that had been knocked down!

    LO is being picked up at 10 for her jabs, so I may do a bit of flying then :)

    Hugs and spoons for anyone that needs them :)

    Got a few more days until payday, by any chance? :cool:

    Ahh I did wonder that myself especially when he started inviting me to his, but he'd even offered to pay for my petrol :eek: I've told him I'm not going and that if he wants to see me he has to come here ;) Supposedly he's coming next weekend, I won't be holding my breath.
    The problem is I like him alot :o

    Our internet was down this morning so had to spend 20 mins on the phone to sky to get it sorted.
    I have an appointment with my works Dr today but I'm not going the car's back to the garage this morning :mad: and I don't have money to waste on public transport plus the friend I take with me is disabled and unable to do public transport.

    I need to get dressed as I'm waiting for DD2's dad to come about the car.
