    Sleeping in is becoming a very bad habit of mine, more clouds Bobs but don't mind..............stressed this morning, meeting at work and should find out out if hours/wages are being cut.
    OH is also stressed beyond belief.... this never ending job and we will be lucky to just about break even financially, could even result in a loss, not to mention very fussy customers who are trying to get all extra works done for free....for now he is coping without the usual crutch, but after years of experience, I have a gut feeling this is all going to come to an explosive end...
    DS is stressed as uni tomorrow , new people, new tutors, new building ......Yes we are a very stressed family today...only molly moo laying there without a care in the world, "a dogs life Lol"
    Need to get off my backside ...council finishing garden today and skip due to be plonked on my drive at any time..................... so off I go.
    Maybe by this evening everything will look so much rosier Xx
