    I've done next to nothing today. I really haven't felt like it :o
    I had an appointment with some type of back to work adviser this morning. I get there to find she's on annual leave! For that one day! "Didn't she contact you?" says the bloke, I was good :A I just replied no instead of "yes of course, I knew she wasn't going to be here but thought I'd waste money I can't afford on the petrol and parking just to come here to say hello" which is what I wanted to say!! :mad:
    So that all threw me out, I'd slept really badly worrying about this interview so managed to come home forgetting I need to go to the bank :mad: Come home to no electric and I'd used the emergency (key meter). I then walked with the dog to the local c00p and their machine wasn't working. So then I had to walk to the big @sd@ :mad:
    So that was my morning gone. This afternoon I've unloaded the DW and WM and put the TD on and cooked a big batch of soup :)
    I had cheese on toast for lunch and now have a pounding head :( I've taken some pills but they haven't touched it. I'd love to go to sleep but it's my friends drama group tonight that I help out with. If I don't feel a bit better by the time DD1 get's back from her driving lesson I might have to cancel :(

    Lovely photo, such sweet looking girls


    That is only LOOKS those 2 big pinks are absolute horrors!!!


    Bossy.. I can't leave Pixie.. she needs boobs and OH sees to the bigger 2 overnight anyway it is just feeding them he seems to neglect.

    My kitchen is almost respectable.. today I have got through 3 xDW, 5xWM and 3xTD .. 1 lot to go on the airers and another to go through the TD when the current lot is done. I have got the table and 4 chairs to DD1, vacuumed the back room and hallway.. I even did under the runner!!! it is so much nicer to come into now.. I am going to see how loud the steam cleaner is and maybe do the stair carpet once the girls are in bed.. if not it will be done while Squeak is at nursery tomorrow.. I will have cleanliness!!! Need to vacuum first.. hmm... it'll be done tomorrow!

    I have swept and folded and put away.


    I now need to fold and put away 2 washloads worth of clothes, sweep (yes sweep!) the worksurfaces and scrub them down. I need to pair about 20,000,000 socks and find a box to put chazzer stuff in.. I am having a cutlery/beaker/kitchen clearout again.

    I need to do a Tesco shop and cook dinner.. and that wakes Pixie up.. little monkey!

    OH was annoying me being a grump.. he has things to do (warcraft dailies of all things!!!!!!!) so is arsing at everyone because DD1 needed help getting some bits from their old house and I got the chest of drawers he is currently erecting.. real life first chickychuck!! anyway.. he was annoying me so I loaded Dot and Pixie in the pushchair and we went to collect the girls from school.. I felt much calmer when I got back.

    For the love of God will SOMEONE give this man a job?????????


    Tiddles having a friend stay over on Friday night.. Mimi is at her friends so I'll be one down so filling the gap lol.. She's never had a friend before to have one stay over so this is all new for her.. I am so pleased she moved school and ecstatic she has a friend. She has a heart problem so is also unable to charge about like all the other children so it is a match made in the raggy doll factory for Tiddles.. it was very sad though when her friend was telling Tiddles she is frightened she might die because of her problem so I had a quiet word with her mum so she could reassure her.

    Not got to the flying yet.

    Carpet measuring and estimate done,need to mull it over and look at colours again, I'll do that tomorrow.

    DS3 home and fed, DS1 is taking him to cricket so I'll have 2 hours to get on but laccking motivation.

    Dining room lights are flickering so obviously some electrical problem or a message from somewhere!

    Think I'll bung some soup on and then get a HH done upstairs. I don't really like evening flying.

    OH is moaning about coming to a meet up so I might not get there.. NOT happy! See.. this is what I mean.. something important to me and no one is interested :( .. I might start looking at trains.. leave him at home with this lot :p How far is it from the train station?

    Pigpen, the off-peak day return fare from Hull to York on direct trains is cheaper than some of the single fares on trains where you have to change at Doncaster :pThe National Railway Museum is about 5 minutes' walk from the main exit from the station, or even less if you can use the footbridge - but this is said to be unsuitable for pushchairs and I hope you will be bringing the gorgeous Pixie with you.

    If you need a lift from the front of the station, I will gladly meet you off the train and drive you round.

    The offer of a lift from and back to the station also applies to anyone else coming to the York meet. Please PM me asap and I'll send you my mobile number.

    I think I'm gonna poke around for the job-finding spell I last used when Mr LW was out of work.;)

    Walkies and a Denta-stick have been decluttered, Miss Jessica :D is waiting for her dins now, which she'll get at 19:00, as this is the time she usually eats (we keep to the dogs' usual schedules).

    I've decluttered a bunch of surveys, claimed some money from one of the survey sites, and transferred what I have available from P@ypal to my bank account; this will go towards the new car.:eek: Mr LW will be picking it up on 25th January; so I have to find half the cost, less the deposit, which I paid, by then (we pay half the total cost of the car each). It's perfectly do-able, I just have to shunt money around our accounts to get it all to the right place for 25th.
    If your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)

    Send some spare spell vibes my way please too lame wolf for my dh. Hope everyone doing ok and hugs to those that aren't. Not sure what's wrong with me this week but I'm cutting myself some slack till I shake off this bad mood/exhaustion thing. Think youngest needing splints and filling in his dla form is getting to me along with assignment stress.
