    Just popping my head round the door to leave some pain-free vibes for Sagaris' eldest beagle before I go and scrub the loo (Wednesday is Bathroom Day in the Wolf's Lair). I hate to think of an animal hurting.

    I hate Wednesdays, I never seem to get anything done as I have to run around taking my dad to his club. It won't be happening for much longer as social services have now decided he has to pay to go. At first they said it was going to be £62ish a week (he only goes 1 day = 5 hours) but then they looked at it again and decided it would be £32 a week. My parents can't afford that!! So as from July he won't be going. My poor mum :(

    Went to the girls dad's last night to help him put his new bed together and he treated us to a take away which was nice :)

    DS2 back from school - survived the day and enjoyed the festivities. At least he's only got one more day to go, as they break up for Spring Bank tomorrow.

    Flying - DW finished and just needs emptying now. Decluttered a long nap, a late lunch and stirred Hermann, the friendship cake. Not a lot :o, but I'll potter in the kitchen when I do tea later.

    Hope everyone's well.

    We cheated and bought a feather duster!

    Well I have come home to a miraculously clean house :D which is good as I have either pulled a muscle or trapped a nerve in my arm not sure which and it is very sore. DH has a parents evening tonight so won't be home for another hour and a half and then needs to eat quickly as he is teaching from home so I am going to try and do some easy jobs now before I get dinner ready for him coming in. Hope I may be able to finish the lists off after.

    OH MY WORD.. KH has excelled himself once again.. his slapper has rang social services about me because... Squeak doesn't sit at the table for dinner and has fallen asleep twice in her highchair.. she has just given up on naps so is exhausted by 5pm... she doesn't sit at the table because she is only 21 months and it would be dangerous for her to sit there, plus she would have to stand on the chair to see her food! AND.. my 11.5 year old.. makes herself cereal for breakfast OMG.. I best be taken out and shot!!!

    Talk about petty.. this is all because I refuse to force my 15 y/o daughter to go to his because I think she is able to make her own decisions about such things.

    Mid-furniture shuffle in the front room.. I appear to have trashed the whole room! :eek:

  • You sure your KH &co aren't related to mIne, Piggers?

    Mine thinks that taking a pair of socks out of the tumble drier is child slavery.

    Bleh. Did gardening today rather than housework. Can't be bothered.
    I could dream to wide extremes, I could do or die: I could yawn and be withdrawn and watch the world go by.
