    %"££&"£ (^"*)@:>%£!!!!!!!!!!!!1 STUPID STUPID STUPID people.

    Is it too much to expect that people can do their jobs properly??? (gp surgery taking 2 weeks to do a prescription then not doing it all or what they do correct.. and Boots for giving me the wrong insulin)

    I am fit to kill!

    I NEED to sleep desperately!

    Well.... my day has not gone as planned.... set up printer and tried to print off Uni Matrliculation paperwork, only to discover there must have been a pen in the box with the printer when we moved, which had worked its way down right inside and underneath the rollers for the paper feed :mad:

    3 hours later with a pair of tweezers, some scraped knuckles and a butter knife, the pen has gone and uni paperwork has been printed :D The pen died in the process...

    WM has been filled and emptied and is now in TD.
    Study has been hoovered

    Best get on before its school time :o

    Right... Im off to clean my sofas!

    They need a proper deep clean (I was given them second hand, and were from a family home and then in storage for a long time). There are all sorts of stains and marks on them so it could take a while!!

    Anyone for a HHC 15.00 - 15.30???

    I know how you feel Piggers about prescriptions. I spend my life sorting them out for both of my boys.


    Henried the ground floor and now my back is complaining. Think the "damp" cupboard will have to wait for another day. Just decluttered a phone call to my 2nd oldest friend (time not age). We haven't been in contact since Christmas.

    TD is on

    Washing now brought in as it's just begun to rain but most of it is dry. I think I may be getting somewhere with the DR but there's still quite a bit to do.

    I'll run to catch Jo up and do another HHC.

    I've finished the job. I ran out of work to do at 10.30 and they couldn't find anything for me. She told me I was due holiday and suggested I left early and took the holiday. I told her no. In the end I spent the rest of the day counting paperclips until I'd completed my 16 hour week. So glad to be out of there.

    DH and MIL have tidied up. DH has done 3 loads of washing.

    How long until 6pm? I need a bucket of wine tonight.

    I'm off to look at directgov for a new job.

    So sorry about your piglet NeaveH.

    HHC at 4pm - I will get something today. It's embarrassing how lazy I've been. I'm planning on carrying on until 6pm if I don't allow myself to become distracted, but that will include time to start tea.
