    :rotfl:Ha Ha Sista, I have only just seen this !!!

    Busy, busy days !!! Work is crazy (no change there then). My car is not too bad ....... could have been worse - as long as we dont eat or do anything else this month - I can just about afford it !!!

    Council MRS is moving really, really slowly - so much paperwork and phone calls etc and it could be weeks before I know if its possible anyway - but, at least I feel like something is happening :T

    What should have been a peaceful weekend - now seems to be fully booked. Catching up with friends and family, cheap drink-night-in on Saturday. But, I am looking forward to it - if I dont start having some "normal" life - I feel like I will go mental !!!!

    Hope everyones week is going well ?

    Thats it for now - need to do some surveys, and send a couple of quick emails then back to the grindstone :)

    Omg 24 hours of rain and no sign of a let up !!!!!
    Had to use Dryer earlier - trying to get kids jeans etc dry as their Dad coming to pick them up in a while to stay at his tonight :)

    Mental week :) work crisis last night so didn't get back till after 8pm and was too tired to do anything , including the dishes :) so I had that fun job this morning !

    Going to have a drink with my friend tonight , then tomorrow afternoon - need to have the "talk" with ex. This needs sorting now with house & I do feel a bit better informed now. I can see I am going to have to push this all the way now - which I am quite prepared to do. Will let you know how I get on. I know him so well that I can predict how it will go ... We will see.

    I came down to get a glass of water at 3am , I could see a furry thing on the worktop (lights were off)... Figured the cats had brought me a present - my heart was racing and I closed my eyes and turned on the lights , it was 30 seconds before I could bring myself to look at the creature ........ It was my furry make up bag !!!! :D
    What an idiot :rotfl:

    Have a good day :)

    Hope everyone had a good weekend :j

    Mine was an emotional roller coaster - lots of decisions made and a lot of tears too :) but it's all good.

    Monday morning madness has arrived ..... Last week of school , only 4 more mornings of getting youngest up !
    Lots to update but will do that later.... I am going to need industrial strength coffee to keep me going today :D

    Oh , and I spent the grand total of £3.20 this weekend - bonus !!!
