    Not doing tiles tonight, and the vanity unit is still tidy from my half term blitz, because I refuse to buy any more toiletries until the stash is used up! Medication here is in the kitchen, but yes I definitely need pain killers. It's on my list!


    ETA I relented and did the ensuite tiles. Will do main bathroom next time. Am done in!

    Part of the Furniture 1,000 Posts Photogenic I've been Money Tipped!
    Since my last post I've been to see to DD I don't know how many times, tidied up in the kitchen, checked the meds and found I have no paracetamol in for DD except what the hospital have given me which has nearly gone! So I finished the Mr A shop online by including the paracetamol & vitamins needed so it should be here tomorrow evening. I've also bought DD some stickers she's collecting in bulk from fleabay. Instead of about 50p a packet in the shops, including postage they are costing me 37p a packet :D:money: Also means I have something to bribe her with when she's being stubborn over drinking enough liquids or not eating her salad/veg. ;) I'm determined our diets will improve and if I have to use bribery at first to get DD to co-operate so be it :o;)

    Tonight I'm going to watch something on the TV while doing the ironing as it desperately needs clearing.

    If its gone its done.

    Thursday: Going into school for the afternoon in the hopes of getting her in and involved again as much as possible :D
    Friday: Clinic with DD at 9.46am!:eek: Remind DD to text her grandad happy birthday

    Finished wiping the sides in the kitchen so that will do that room for this week.

    Busy day tomorrow, neck pain permitting so hope to get the shower room and bathroom done in stages.

    I do hope Mr. Wolf hasn't got a guilty secret...

    well I can see my time at home rapidly being filled AGAIN

    taking DD to have her teeth bleached tomorrow. The shoes don't fit so I can either pay to post them back or take them to Meadowhall...we have to find shoes anyway. Then she has a telephone interview tomorrow, and a guitar lesson and there's a meeting about UCAsd and uni funding at the comp and since both Vallikids are heading that way at the moment I had better go and ex OH will drop his contribution after tomorrow, I expect, even IF he was paid a week-in-hand.
    When he GETS a new job if he is paid that way he won't start paying on week one for he is a devious sod and cunning in the ways of not paying child support when it suits him.
    DD has empties her CD rack of childish things and busted and Gareth Gates and I shan't waste my breath listingon ebay
