    One that sucks is the height of my ambition!

    Dad to the rescue. Came and fixed front door lock AND vacuum.

    We are MARGINALLY more under control now.

    This had me :rotfl:. I thought mine had packed up the other day, after nearly crying (no idea why this got me emotional), I closed the door leaver and ta-dah, it worked... doh! Glad you got it sorted!

    Hope you manage some sleep tonight xx

    Helen it was wine o clock and Dr Who. Very nice.

    Earthie I am struggling a bit with too much going on but I am sure it will shake down soon. Mainly the parents worrying me because they are doing some self defeating stuff which i fear will not end well.

    Hannah I think the emotional response is due to the frustration of vacuuming and the floor not looking any better?

    Birthday party here today. Some of the parents havent replied to the invitation.

    Helpful. Not.
  • Hope the party goes well and the parents play ball, if you know what I mean?! ;-)
