Hi Mrs PG, it sounds like you had a lovely weekend.

I am in the process on making a claim for a packaged account too. I hope yours is successful.

Pooh I read that over on your diary yesterday. I am keeping my fingers crossed for you as well.

Hope you are doing ok xxx

Any forms of concentration on the work front today will now go out of the window while I trawl the interweb looking at baby bits instead !

Hi Mrs PG

Pleased to hear that you had such a lovely weekend and it sounds like it could become the norm for the time being if Mr PG is going to be around every weekend for the foreseeable future. :j

Also, pleased to hear that you have reduced the amount of time and money on visiting. You have done the right thing, you need to put yourself and your immediate family first. You need them and they need you and your demanding relative needs to realise that your world cannot just revolve around them.

I sometimes wonder how you have coped with everything that's been thrown at you and yet you still sound so positive and motivated.

Congratulations Mrs PG!:) baby news always makes me smile.
Await with interest to hear what happens with packaged account claim - we didn't have two accounts but I was asked to upgrade so I could have preferential interest rate on OD - realised what a silly bunny I have been because at the time I never did the sums!
Fantastic news that a good amount of work is lined up, and it will be so lovely for you to have more family time with Mr PG:) so happy for you :):)xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxNOA

Must confess Dolphin that I was there today ! :o The pressure got too much and I hadn't gone since Sunday when I dragged Mr PG with me for moral support. She was jumping up and down .

I am now absolutely exhausted and have spent the night catching up on work in between running the girls around, knocking up a very tasty old fashioned Cheese and Potato pie and rushing about like a blue ar$£ fly !! Oh and listening to DD2 read her World War One 5 page History Assessment over and over again until she got it just right . At least I wont lie awake tonight worrying that I haven't visited which is a favourite pastime of mine these days , I will just worry about when I can next fit a visit in without it causing world war three :eek:. That said, she saw me for three hours, not the 6-12 hours its been for the last year, so I am sticking to my guns.I took her flowers but didnt take her our for lunch. She actually behaved fairly well but did bombard me with a million questions about things that are nothing to do with her, like how much are we getting paid for the work we are currently doing ?!! Really ? It was her that brought me up never to ask someone how much something costs or how much someone earns. Oh how the tables have turned. She says its her right to know this information and I am secretive for keeping that information form her !! Ho Hum .

But......... I Am doing ok, had a minor meltdown tonight but that was because after going to see her we were really running behind and at 10.30, DD2 was still finishing her History assessment, DD1 who once more has a nasty cold was still wondering aimlessly around the house instead of taking her medicine having a nice bath and getting an early night for once. The meltdown though was very very minor and swiftly composed myself and calmed down again.

I haven't managed to speak to Mr PG today so am unsure how things are going his end. I did get a ping from him to let me know that if I had noticed some money missing from the business account it was him ! I had noticed it and apparently he had to buy a printer at a cost of £350 for the Company we are working for,they will reimburse us, but I was a tad miffed as I needed that money to go elsewhere, ie to THEM !!

Anyway on that note I am planning an early night and a read of my book xx Sleep well xx

Morning !!

Well I have a huge to do list today, so I started bright and early.

It came to a bit of a grinding halt when DD2 managed to fall down the stairs with an almighty crash ! That girl is so clumsy these days ! :rotfl: She is absolutely fine although possibly will be a bit bruised. She landed with such a thump and the school bags that she was carrying flew up in the air and landed on top of her. She did look funny in a heap buried underneath her bags and rucksack !

Girls both dropped at school and bus stops. DD1 running late again so I had to drive her to the bus stop. I am letting her off as she isnt feeling very well, but I have told her she needs to get back on track after half term as I don't have time in the morning to be chauffeuring .

Just filled a bin bag with bits for the charity shop and I will drop those in on the way to the Post Office shortly. If work is quiet I m planning to give the car a quick hoover out as its looking a bit grubby from collecting DD2 from the stables. Although she change her boots she still has managed to deposit lots of hay and grime inside the car..

The Company we had to purchase a Printer for have already reimbursed us , that was quick we only invoiced yesterday. I wish more Companies were like this:). I will use that money to give to THEM, but I am waiting until Friday just to make sure the next invoice we are expecting shows up , otherwise I will be leaving us a bit short.

I have a couple of meetings mid morning and afternoon so will be doing a bit of driving around. Fuel bill is sky high of late but there's not much I can do about it, if we don't drive we cant get to work, so we need to accept it really.

Right I'm off to crack on ............................ Have a lovely Thursday everyone xxx

At least it's progress. :j Reducing your visits gradually will probably help her adapt better. Besides, I'm sure you don't want to cut all contact, you just need to change the pattern of visits to when it suits you.

You have a lovely Thursday too!

Hope DD1 feels better soon & DD2 isn't too bruised.

Glad to hear about the extra work & the possibility of having Mr PG around more often

Also pleased to hear that you've taken the bothersome situation with relative in hand.

I hope you have a lovely Thursday too x

Thankyou ! Its becoming a bit of a mad and manic Thursday, but hanging in there.:)

These dark evenings don't agree with me, I need to work but I actually would much rather be in my PJ's curled up in bed ! xx

Thanks Granny !

Bothersome Relative has been particularly bothersome today in a pretty unpleasant way but I am refusing to let it upset me xx
