WHO AM I AND WHAT I HAVE I DONE WITH MYSELF0 -
Hi guys :wave:
I'm pooped! Had a very stressful week and long hard days at work, I need a bath and bed
Council came to fix the drain then teenie decided to go out and so missed the window guy, I told him specifically he can come anytime up until 4pm grrrrrrrr don't even know why I bother sometimes! I've gone past the point of no return and am now at this moment, past caring!
WM is fab! So currently still trying to catch up with the pile, drying it is the main problem. Discovered MOT runs out next Thursday :eek: and he can't book me in *double* :eek::eek: no MOT = no jobs = no money.... oh !!!!!!.....just laugh embb you gotta :rotfl:
Mudders I'm with you on the everything comes at once malarky: this week/last week had to buy:- a new WM, a new single bed and mattress, pay all my monthly bills, had to fork out for littleys school holiday, still got to buy a double oven, a new hob, and find a grand for SIL's car which I'm buying off her in Feb, oh and have to buy new carpets and decorating stuff too, all before March/April, I think I need to get on the game. Hope you get sorted soon chick x
Teenie did some flying, I'm not doing anything, I've decided.
Hope everyone's well xx0 -

I've pottered around at home just general sorting out of paperwork etc. I finally took my prescription to the chemist, posted some parcels and exchanged the printer ink I brought yesterday. I'd picked up the wrong one

Left a list for DD2 to do while I went to DD1's parents evening. (Nothing really to report, she always been a star pupil :A.)
Anyway, DD2 had done the jobs but I wondered why the DW was taking so long :think: She's only gone and left it on the high setting I use when I'm cleaning it! :eek: God only knows what's happening to the stuff in the machine :eek::mad:
I have visions of melted plastic and mugs with no pictures left on them _pale_ I am trying not to be too angry but she has b*ggered off out before DD1 and I got back which isn't helping her case! :cool:
I can't remember if I said earlier but I've had a letter from work saying they're no longer going to pay my ssp :eek: Not really sure what happens next but I'm going to my friends tomorrow and they'll help sort it all out *thinks calming thoughts*
I've managed to clear one debt today so that's something less to worry about.

Thank you a certain flylady for a very kind offer...but I'm sorted
Went to PO (posted e bay and love film) on way to appliance spares shop (amazingly didn't 'know' it was there until I was looking for something on e bay two years ago!) and bought 1 new washer for the washing machine hose for 20p then drove across town to PAH for luxury litter tray - I am hoping little accidents are going to be confined. Came home. Set up tray. Replaced washer and refitted fallen-off 'foot' while I was at it. Also ironed and we have eaten paprika pork (that was one HUGE bag of Paprika the parents brought back from Budapest); kids have had sponge pudding and washing up half done and I'm having a :coffee:before I hit the road again to take DD to guitar class - I shall sit outside, in the car, with my kindle.
DD wanted to go to Mr T but I'm not going in there late afternoon - car park looked full (the shop's huge and I don't like it) so, even though we drove past it I didn't succumb!Don't put it DOWN; put it AWAY"I would like more sisters, that the taking out of one, might not leave such stillness" Emily Dickinson

I thought we had an earthquake at 4pm but have now found it was a sonic boom. I have just spent 2 and a half hours trying to find out what it was. I thought it was an explosion if not an earthquake.
Never mind, I always have tomorrow to do some flying.business mortgage £0))''(+ Barclay's business kitchen loan £0=Total paid off was £96105 PPI claimed and received £13527
