Hugs to all of you not feeling great or with unwell kiddlie winks.
Boston good to hear from you, I love Boston (USA) so have happy thoughts when I see you name.

lil_me

boston I wondered where you were hiding, oh blimey sorry to hear about the being poorly but like you said might make sense of a few things, hope things go well with the consultant. Sorry to hear the sale fell through again mustn't be making things any easier.

Penny hope your DD is better soon

Cooker has arrived, that is great, however was info on the website that they would deliver, remove old appliance and fit this one, they put it in my living room, I have no cable for it etc. They dumped it and legged it. I've sent a nice SNOTTY email to Littlewoods (It's DPs account or I would phone!) DP will have to go and get a cable and fit it.

Right will be back later when I can do something in the kitchen, at the minute there are 2 cookers in there because they didn't take the old one. Have managed to squeeze through and get a cuppa however . Jovichick make sure they don't mess you about when they deliver yours. Home Delivery Network yet again, different drivers but just as useless!

See... bunnies... they aren't buried or boxed or sent to charity shop.. and we can actually get to them to stroke and feed them now.

My hayfever is horrendous today.. my eyes are so sore it is unreal (though that could partly be down to last nights eye liner lol) Anyway.. that's drugged so should be ok in a bit.

Kitchen floor still quite clear but the wash basket is taking over again.. Need to get my new mop out too.. and I have a few more bits I need to ebay. And another hour spent in the middle room wouldn't go amiss.. especially as DD3 has spread a 1000 piece jigsaw all over the floor in there.. ggrrrrr

Thanks for the Tesco tip lbnblbnb I thought it was on to the end of the month. Went first day it was on and brought 7 packs! Slightly greeding but very MSE! Will pop there today and get a couple more packs, need some swim nappies as well.

Just updated my list, DS has been in bed since 9 15 so have run round like a nutter, just stopping for brekkie and cup of tea. Still can't get this blasted return key on - aaarrrrrrhhhhh!!!!!!

Right, tea finished will try and do a bit more before Monster surfaces and then want to pop out.
