Need to think about plugging in the hoover and really getting something off the list
Right cuppa, then I will plug hoover in before going to get DS....any joiners for a HHC/hoovering?The cold never bothered me anyway0 -
Afternoon all. I'm in need of a huge kick at the moment. Managed to get through quiet a bit of the list yesterday (not that you can tell now) but today has completely gone out the window.
DH has come home from work to tell me he has been made redundant!
and DS has gone on his first residential, due to his problems he has never left me.
So feeling really emotional and the tears haven't stopped since 6am.
I should get busy with the list to take my mind off things but I just cant find my GUAG.
