    DS room/bathroom cleaned sneaked in whilst he was out at work this morning ....only took 2 hours...:eek:
    Couldn't see the floor for the mounds of dirty clothing and yep he had definitely gone nose blind my gosh ...made my eyes water.
    Did laugh at his reaction and his face when I told him I had cleaned his room.....his instant reply ....OH NO am I in trouble?.....anyway lecture given, don't suppose will do much good so will make him clean it himself next time around.
    Clutch has broken on the van quoted £800 from one garage and £350 from another go figure? bad timing as always :(
    My mortgage money has taken a bash now that all cc are paid and few other things "not inc van repair bill ouch....
    Took mollymoo for a walkie and we got caught in terrible thunder storm........... we were soaked not that it bothered her much, she just ran around the house shaking her wet coat everywhere, sure she hit every room....little monster ;)
    OH working hard and seems to be focused.... for now? ;)
    DS still waiting for UCAS to complete his application and me I am chilling....been chilling bit to much today actually, couch potato comes to mind :).
    Right then Tea time need to get off my backside now :D x

    Fridge still not filled...................try and do later today.
    Fab £350 paid into mortgage after very fruitful job last week :T
    DS reference and application done and sent to UCAS, now the wait and worry, see if any of his two choices accept him :D.
    OH at work, but finishing early today....dread the thought, such hard work keeping an eye on him when he is home, would just rather lock him in a room till Monday Ha Ha wish I was joking really but I am not ! :rotfl:
    Might try and grab hours shut eye, before the task ahead .....hope everyone is having a happy weekend xx

    lovely 45mins to myself....:D
    £38 food shop.... did really well considering bought large box Aldis own brand soap powder and fabric conditioner, kitchen cleaner plus large pack Aldis own brand toilet rolls.and 2 packs of baby wipes...very good value for money, better in my opinion than some more expensive brands..............fruit cherries, plums also on offer 59p fabulous. Didn't buy any meat but freezer stocked.:D
    Sold pair jeans £19 only paid £3 happy teabay............:T
    OH not gone to work today..he does this sometimes always Mondays, when his weekend has consisted of mainly one activity....need I say anymore, blaming a bad stomach,hmm yeah right, he needn't think he is spending tomorrow in bed :mad:.
    My little doggy has vet appointment today at 5pm ....dreading it, she has a sore bottom and keeps sitting down after every few steps and then looking at me with these big black sad eyes, I'me sure she thinks its my fault...thinking water infection,hate taking her she gets so stressed poor thing also dreading the extortionate bills they like to give out for a 5 minute appointment., but as long as they give her something to ease the pain:(
    My bingo night tonight, not really feeling in the mood, guilt kicking in and don't really want to leave my. molly moo....
    Just paid water bill £348 normally pay monthly DD but second job which is killing me Lol has certainly helped.:T

    Oh thanks Lucky, she is sort of back to her normal self and driving me crazy Lol. Vets diagnosed allergies (probably from recent visit to groomers and a very scenty shampoo they had used) she prescribed her steroids which unfortunately have increased her appetite ..... Vet only charged £39 not bad really, usually pay quite a bit more x:D

    Weekend here and instead of dreading OH antics I am looking forward to Carbooty on Sunday.
    Sold bag for a fab £45 on Teabay only cost me £5 on carbooty so heck of a result :T.
    DS has been accepted for 2nd choice at university and interview for first..........fantastic news as he has a back up now if 1st choice doesn't suit, or falls through......now second hurdle student finance and harder hill to climb! ....fingers crossed.
    Wish the rain would stop now, need to get some washing done and refuse to use tumble dryer ....
    Tea time....tummy's a rumbling made a lovely cottage pie and veg yummy :D x
