Just... argh!
Yesterday was manic in here.. and today looks set to be just the same!!
Today DS3 had his breakfast but 'forgot' to do his insulin.. cue unwell DS3 by 9:15am and I was trying to feed and dress the 2 littlies, get the infernal moggy in the box for vet after dealing with a million other dramas such as 'I can't find another bobble!!' and 'I have lost my planner' and 'Where's my PE kit?' ....
So.. we grabbed insulin emergency kit, spares nappies and juice and everything and dashed out.. came back for the cat.. oops... going to vet without the cat is a little.. silly...
Cat is healing well.. steroids forever but heyho..
Off to school.. sorted DS3.. that took 45 minutes!!
Back home.. I released moggy, who was apparently desperate to pee! Fed Dot.. twice.. fat baby!.. fed Squeak.. but while I was feeding Dot she had sprinkled cat litter everywhere in the back room and kitchen and swamped the rabbit with it too... so now I have all that to clear...
I text my mother about going for lunch and got no replay.. as usual!! Honestly I do wonder why I even bother trying sometimes!
OH taking Squeak ice skating in a bit so I shall get mini-beast down for a nap hopefully and make a start on this vacuuming of the hovel!
Jojo.. I also had a meltdown from teenager yesterday.. I suggested she packs ST's too... Mine was stropping because I wouldn't allow her to go meet a 19 y/o man .. she is 14. He 'thinks' they are friends but DD2 'thinks' she loves him.. and what on earth would I know I am just a withered old prune lol.. She lied to me, said she was meeting a female friend so I asked if I were to ring said friend would I be able to speak to DD2?.. erm.. you might .. was not the correct answer lol... no you aren't going out you can go to dads with the others.
KH brought them back last night and I had to tell him to stop screaming at them in the street... again!!! He was pee'd off because they walked into the house once they got 30yards from home... and didn't walk at dead snail pace with him and the girls.. talk about blowing things out of proportion.. I am sure there are bigger battles worth the effort.
HHC anyone? 1:30-2:00.. though I am continuing until Dot wakes up or I have to do the school run! as I doubt my mother will get back to me now and I am STARVING! (I had 5 sausages and 7 mini creme eggs yesterday.. OH did enough pasta for him and Squeak and none for me)
I need to gather up ice skating supplies and vacuum cat litter and get the kitchen sorted and have this baby away for a nap..LB moment 10/06 Debt Free date 6/6/14Hope to be debt free until the day I dieMortgage-free Wannabee (05/08/30)6/6/14 £72,454.65 (5.65% int.)08/12/2023 £33602.00 (4.81% int.)0 -

Just back from the Ideal Home Show - it was good!
And I saw actual Mary Berry! DH got me tickets to go and see her at a local venue next week - really looking forward to it.
As the weather is nice I won't worry about housework too much now - off for a walk with the hounds I think, 2 washloads on the line to iron later and another one dried yesterday so might do those later. Possibly push the Dyson round too - we will see!:j Almost 2 stones gone! :j

afternoon all
ouch piggers and jojo makes you wonder why we have kids sometimes doesnt it, hugs to you both and hoping they have calmed down.
just back from dentist didnt get my crown in the end ive got a short tooth so dentist wasnt happy to crown it as he said it could mean having to pare some off the tooth below to make room for the crown which could fall off anyway so he decided it was safer to take as much filling as poss out and refill and see how long this lasts. was very brave and opted for no injection (i is tough) it didnt hurt at all so filling done tooth feels fine and i havent got a numb mouth and best of all because he refilled one that had fallen out last time i didnt have to pay anything for todays visit (i was expecting to pay £204 for the crown so thought i had £157 left to pay)
found a new favourite cleaning product this morning The pink stuff its a tub of pink paste and costs £1 a tub from tesc0 it is brilliant. it got all those horrible little grease globs off the sides of my kitchen cupboards and is absolutely fantastic, strongly recomemded
blitzed downstairs this morning - well clean all windows swept through and did all kitchen units doors and dusted everything fluffy (except the two neighbourhood cats who keep trying to sneak in since mine died last july) i did give the large white fluffy one a cuddle before he got evicted and sent back home. also S&S the bathroom and made all beds
DH off work for next 2 days so dont think ill be flying much off the lists now till next week but will try and stay habitable
hope all are wellSPC~12 ot 124
