Very chuffed with my efforts - have cleared floordrobe in my bedroom and in front of dds wardrobe. Have had a good clear out - taken out all the summer stuff and outgrown things for dd, and got a MAHOOSIVE pile to sell/cs of my stuff:j Now just to get rid, hopefully making a few pennies.....

Might need to put flying on the back burner this week - as we are picking up the kitties on saturday and I need to get the utility room nice and safe and decluttered for them - I was planning to shut them in there at night and when we are out just for a few weeks while we are all getting used to each other. I'm on a conference all weekend so I'm going to miss the home-coming Hoping DH will be able to manage to protect cats from children single-handedly :eek:

Dusty hope things turn out well for Ds2. X

I have been reading up on uni accommodation and finance for ds1. I am trying to work out how much we will need to pay out before he receives his student loan. I'm trying to save whilst he is on a spending spree.

I have also need help him with the Ucas statement about what help he requires for his additional needs.

I need to collect him and his friend from the station soon.

Conservatory cleaned. I rang the company who built it to enquire about fixing a door and they wanted £80 just to look at it. I politely declined

I also had to ring the place who supply ds2's befriender as she didn't turn up again and didn't contact us. He spent the morning crying about not having friends again

No news from my job applications so I have been looking for others to apply for.

3xwm dried outside

Builders have been to look around the mr boarded up rip ex house. Work should be starting soon.

Dancemum hugs for DS2 that is naughty for her to just not turn up.

Been in my PJs a good while and heading of to bed in a minute to see if I sleep at all.

LW healing vibes for Mr LW and lots of spoon winging their way to you from all here at the Skint Pitz.

Ionafan Thank you ....hospital was interesting, X-ray technician printed one of my x rays on the wrong size film, so the Consultant couldn't put in my file, so he said I could take it home for DS......he is amazed by it, but also a bit worried because it looks like I have a bicycle chain in my jaw where it is all wired up. Suffering once face ache today as although surgery has corrected 90% of the problem, the bottom jaw is still slightly skewed so I have a mouth full of rubber bands dragging my jaw front and centre........I keep having this dream that I wake up to find that DD3 has loom-banded my mouth shut, so I think sleep is going to evade me for a while until I get used to it.

Folded last of Mt Foldmore, so up to date there. A few bits of gibble slung. DS homework done with him. I want to get my outstanding paperwork mountains ready for secure destruction and proper long term filing given how volatile things have been of late, I need to get a real handle on this, but looking forward to colder weather so I can lob stuff straight to fire without having to store it first.

Ionafan could you put me down for a realistic challenge for October? Be brave enough to ask for free firewood from skips/building sites at least once a week :money:

I got some untreated miniature log roll from a lady at the dump yesterday seconds before she slung it in the recycling :money: ....no chopping required!

Going to try and rest now as exhausted TTFN :wave:

Mornng JTTOU and those who follow.

Slept until 6 which is quite good for me. Walking at 8;30 with my friend.

Dreading DS2 going back as I know I'm going to worry like mad until he is back on Saturday. At least he is good at keeping intouch.

Right morning routines to get done, see you in a bit.............
