    I am so fed up :(

    Dot is really not very well at all so doing nothing but whine and squawk, Squeak is hilarious.. she has developed a teletubbie obsession and has been running about the house like a loon shouting "run away" teletubbie style.. OH was not impressed but DS3 and I thought it was fabulous. She is really starting to talk loads.. she was chasing me about saying "need a wee" last week.. she has no idea what it means mind!. She understands so much, it is very cute.

    DS3 still has "the worst life ever".. it is diabetes not leukaemia or cancer or motor neurone disease, get a grip child!... KH is being a KH, the solicitor is being slow beyond all comprehension! They were supposed to have sorted the house last April and we are STILL waiting on the papers to be signed.. I am really fed up of nagging them! Lazy overpaid dollops!

    And that is without all the other crap... I am too tired, thirsty and hungry to find anything positive right now... so I am going to bed to wallow in my misery and hopefully one day things will look brighter...

    Free to any home : One black dog, comes complete with lots of sh-poop, hassle and a few rain clouds :(

    My kitchen is almost emptied of washing.. but I am expecting 2000 loads down tomorrow.. half term is going to mean a cleaning mission in here.. it is gross and it is peeing me off and I am NOT doign it on my own.. it is not my mess mostly and I am not cleaning it while this bunch of lazy toads sit and watch. OH has been given his instructions.. 4 blinds, 1 pc, gibble delivery, tesco run and mop manager.. I may go so far as to let him loose with a binbag! lol

    Weekend job.. the downstairs.. Mon-Wed is bedrooms and Thursday is bathrooms and landings.. anyone caught slacking gets no dinner cooked for them.. :p

    Morning everyone, so far I have emptied and filled the DW and put the WM on. Hideous amount to do having done very little in the week so I need to break it down into small sections, and do short bursts on each room.

    Anyone else in the same boat?

    OH is snoring in bed and I am about to embark on operation house reclamation! Hex.. we sre living in squalor so yes I understand.. I'll join you.. but we are doing one room at a time rather than bits

    I have cut out some of the spending time with family because the week has already gone - my boys spent most of the week with their friends. My youngest is bored with the weather and has chosen, on my suggestion, to sort his wardrobe out :)

    I'm with you hex and Jenny. So far I've spent half of the morning trying to sort my new broadband connection out and now there's a problem in the area so I don't know whether it's working or not now so I'm on my laptop. I've got loads to do so I suppose I'd better make a start although DH has taken all the cardboard to the tip this morning so that's my hall cleared and I've made a start on sorting the DR and washed the dishes.

    Hugs piggers - hope DS3 is feeling better soon and it doesn't throw his blood sugars out too much and hope Dot is feeling better soon too.
