Hi all.
Flying has commenced;:T apart from doing the daily kitchen S&S, the shower head is descaling in a pot of vinegar. Same vinegar will later be re-used to descale the loo:o (I do it frequently nowadays, as a preventative measure).

Mumto5 gods, woman, life is really kicking you when you're down.:( Loading coping vibes onto a pallet for transport over to you. Sorry, but your DS1 sounds like he needs a major reality check.

Pigpen you cannot keep pulling these allnighters. Something has to give, and I fear it will be your health, sanity or both.:( I wish to goodness I could think of something to help so that you could get some proper rest.

CY if Mr LW wanted the radio on overnight, he'd either be using headphones or occupying the sofa! I hope DD1 got on OK at the hossy, and that she's not too wiped out.:o

Mr LW has been asked to do an extra Early shift (tomorrow, means wfh) and Late shift (Friday) so I need to re-jig the meal plan so that we have something to just nuke and eat on Friday. I can do either Shepherd Spy or Lasagne, either of which I can make tomorrow morning and will do both days; just waiting to hear which Mr LW would prefer. If he opts for Shepherd Spy, he'll need to prep the spuds for me tonight and leave them in water.;)

Aww, bless!:D I usually squeeze my fat bottom into very small drawers.....:rotfl:

Well DH said he was going into work this afternoon rather than this morning, so I just went to try to wake him up (again!) and asked him if he wanted me to put the kettle on. His reply was a very sleepy "yes, drop them in there for a bit, I need to think about these situations". I went from being very miffed with him to hysterical laughter :rotfl:

Mumto5

My interview went well so fingers crossed. Thanks for all the good luck.

MIL made DS1 apologise. We've all told him his behaviour must change and his foul language has no place in this home. He's 18 now and really has to get his act together. He didn't get the job at Tesco so more turmoil on the horizon.

Hoovered through downstairs. Kitchen is sparkling. I'm so tired. It's exhausting dealing with teenage hormones. I need some chocolate.

Food and meals are sorted and have spent a bit of time pottering around while I was on the phone. Found bits of flooring which fit the cupboards but need to be trimmed round the edges.

Off with a pile of papers now and will have a quick browse on ebay for second hand coats

Oh for goodness sake, it turns out DH hasn't bothered to inform anyone he'll be in late today, and now he's decided he's going back to sleep. He's only been in the job for 1 day, and I know there's not much point in going in until the school's open again next week - but that's what he told them he was going to do so he should do it. Now I'm absolutely convinced he's going to lose his job and we'll be in an even worse state, just when we thought things were getting better. He's being obnoxious and I know it's just because he's tired but I'm now sobbing in the lounge because it feels that whatever we do to get sorted, one or other of us will sabotage it. Stupid man wouldn't even be so tired if he hadn't stayed up all night secretly smoking whilst I was asleep because he's supposed to have quit.

I'm going to start with HHI because that Monday list is irritating me then probably do the 15 minutes paperwork.

Amy - huge hugs. I know how it feels having a DH who doesn't want to go to work and fearing that he will lose his job. I know mine isn't well but it doesn't stop the worry. Hope things look up for you soon.
