    Popping by to confess I have done nothing.. I filled the TD, took DS3 for eye screening and that was all.. OH fed the DW and I threw 3 things away from the fridge.. I really desperately need some motivation and time alone.. with OH out of the house.

    Moomin crazily did cross country at school yesterday so can barely walk today.. silly girl! She has been drugged and sent to bed.. hopefully her new memory foam topper will help with the pain... why are those things so expensive??

    info found to f*** Scamtander off once and for all!! A***holes gggrrrr...

    Pigpen can you send your OH round here, gives you some peace and then maybe I'd actually get a couple of jobs done that OH keeps planning to all lengths to do and never actually does!! I still don't have skirting boards after 5 years, or tiles in the kitchen!

    Goodness!! You'd be waiting about another 10 years for my OH to get up and do them!! He'd bring his laptop and WoW and Elder scrolls your tintyweb!!

    I've had no tiles in my kitchen for 9 years and it took 3 years to get 3 blinds up.. still waiting on the 3rd door curtain and have a whole stack of painting needs doing..

    But yeah, I'll send him round!

    Good morning

    Cat fed and watered.
    Cuppa made and back to bed.

    Need to nip out this morning after I've done the dailies. Going for a scan later today. DDs friend going with me as DD can't get. Even though I'm perfectly fine going on my own.

    Lol pigpen, Erm maybe not quite the help I need, 2 men playing on computers and not doing much needed jobs isn't going to help me achieve anything. Think I'm just going to have to try and get things done myself!

    Right well at paid stuff today and tomorrow so won't get all that much done. Maybe some washing and meal making. Really should be shifting my backside to get ready for work but really can't be bothered. Both babies are covered in snot again.

    Anyone else watch obsessive compulsive cleaners, I'm a bit concerned these cleaners toilets are probably cleaner than my kitchen worktops! I can't imagine I'd get a zero reading anywhere here, but I guess these people don't have anything better to do!

    Anyway enough of my rambling, I best get up now!
