dammit the rain is on :mad:

lil_me

Sorry for the delay, I forgot to switch it on at the wall, going to be one of those days isn't it!

DS1 refusing to stay dressed, got him dressed and he took them off again, he hates clothes but I'm sick of him running round 'jiggling' everywhere!

Meal plan finally finished, just been lacking in motivation to think of something to eat,( well sort of as one meals just been left as 'sausages and something') have done it now so need to work through fridge and cupboard, add that to freezer list and see how much/what shopping I need. Looking at what I've spent so far this needs to be small!

and now it is proper tipping it down :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

crumbs its hailing now. whats next, thunder and lightning ?????

lil_me

JillD at least it will be cooler, I found it bliss last night with the window open when it was raining, the room cooled right down, garden needed it too, saves me watering it today. We had hail a few weeks back, bloomin' stuff bouncing off my head as I made a mad dash for the washing, thunder and lightning might be possible if it's hot.

Hmmm do I brave the shops with the kids today ? I don't need enough to justify an online order really, could just pop down the localish shops, means taking the brats but it gets it out of the way and us out for a bit (which means neighbours brats will naff off home too honestly if that kid screams once more!!!!!!!)

Think I have a code for free delivery on a £25 asda order if you are interested, off to do a bit more, will post it at my next mini break

lil_me

Could do AnWsMum incase I can't get what I need, thanks, I think the 'going to shops' is just an escape route, might take them to the park but shhhhhh don't tell the other kids that or they'll want to go, throw the dogs in the car too, not bothered if it rains. Some kids I don't mind taking but that one is defiant and a winger! Going to wait until I've got this washing done and hung out (inside or out depending what the clouds look like by then) before I go anywhere.

:j DS1 got dressed, there is one battle won!

Hugs to Jill - glad you seem brighter/happier today. Maybe he was worried about leaving you alone at this late stage?? I know acting like a complete pr*ck is not helping you but most blokes seem to have this problem. Instead of taking their worry and helping you out they make life twice as hard work!! I am going to be a lesbian next time round. All my gay friends seem to have much more harmonious (sp?) relationships!

Well on the internet front BT man is due round Tuesday morning so will see what happens. But they told DH if he comes out and its not due to their fault they will charge us for his call out?? DH did not ask how much this was (doh!) but bit of a bloody cheek, surely they can tell if they are not sending the broadband signal down the line (admit no idea how this works).

Littles staying extra night at nannies - 3 nights, longest I have ever been away from them, well was in hospital 3 days when I had DD2 but feels strange. So my plans for tomorrow as I will be child free until tea time:-

Sand and paint radiator in bathroom
Wash shower curtain
Bank change of address forms - complete & drop into branch
Clean car seat to list on ebay
General S & S, hoover everywhere
Kitchen - as per lil_me list (including oven this week)
Ring for job application pack

As for today am still at work till 3. DH picking me up and off to Mr T to get the few bits I cannot buy in town (will have to be a few bits as only £90 of budget left this month - do have plenty of meat etc in already).

Tea is sorted rest of curry from Friday night (yummy), plus last of duck as pancake rolls (yummy also).

Tracyg - Hope your dads tests come back clear so he can get home.

Jill - glad your dad has got his telly access back, at least it will break the day up a bit for him.

Right off to the basement to make a cup of tea - god this office is a hovel!!! lol really would benefit from some "flylady".

lil_me

Shell, have you tried keeping on connecting, same thing happened to me a while ago I had left it awaiting line tests but decided to check it one morning and it worked ok. Hope they sort it soon regardless.

Dusty the image of all those boxes has me sat here smiling and nodding my head whilst 'thinking way to go'

lil_me thanks not sure I would agree with the star bit all these posts about daft OH's has me chuckling. My DH was just the same as a lot of these others, could never find anything even though it was right under his nose!

AnW'Mum I completely agree with Lil-me I always think of you whenever any of us have a moan about our OH. You are truly fab and whilst I moan about DH you and Stormybay have made me look at things in a different way and I now only moan in a joking way not like I used to in a really mean way.
