    Oh great. Mr N just yelled "are you busy?" in an urgent voice from the kitchen. I rushed downstairs thinking he was ill or something.......we then spent several minutes unsuccessfully chasing a mouse round the kitchen. Well, the chasing was successful but the capture wasn't. It may have to be the snap trap tonight, yuk.

    Hi all

    LW like Pigpen I have appointeeship for my DS, not sure if you can do this for an adult
    .

    PIP is only being rolled out for adults at the moment.. so 16+ is adult .. ridiculous really because 16 is far from adult!!

    Too tired to do much more tonight, but since coming home from the Old Wives' Group I have sorted out things to take with me to do on the trains tomorrow and thought about a quick visit that I need to make to MrS in the evening after our extra choir practice.

    My list is much depleted but still too long - and I shall be out tomorrow from 9.00 am to 10 .00 pm :eek: so won't manage to do much more until Wednesday.

    I need sleep... Good night all x

    Morning all.

    FBO - 6 months, just fantastic
    LW - what all the others have said
    And go away vibes for all bats and mice.

    I'm glad that today is the bedroom, I'll make a start in a minute.

    Have a great day everyone.
    Spend less now, work less later.
  • Of course Pigpen, I forgot that. Hope that could work for LW then. Getting the appointeeship was a very easy process. I seem to remember that DS only showed his face then disappeared off while I sorted it out.

    Have just washed the kitchen floor, didnt get it done on Monday. Will do our bedroom today I think. Plasterer is coming later to look at the bathroom and hopefully the builder is coming this week to sort the two tiles on the roof that have slipped. This happened about 3 months ago and we are really struggling to find someone to do it.

    Right better get ready for paid stuff and get some breakfast. See you all later x

    DS3 was the same .. Showed his face told them he was not coerced and that he wanted the money to go to my account because we do the buying and pay fuel costs for ferrying him about sort his medicines and do everything basically! It was surprisingly simple for once!

    I'm up.. Again.. I miss sleep, I really do!

  • Wolfy ((((hugs))). Don't know aything about the system, but it sounds like there are a lot of knowledgable people on here. And as was said, Mr LW married you because he loves you. Whatever happens. I've put my DH through hell, and he happily pays for me now because I make the effort to be the best I can be, and you definitely do that in spades.

    Ozzie says don't you dare go anywhere. Your furry friends need you as well as Mr LW.

    Thanks for all the congratulations. I went to a meeting last night and everyone was astounded it was so long. Mini celebration (I baked the cake :D)

    DH busy last night so forgot. Did phone after leaving this morning. Very applogetic. He's booked dinner out on Thursday night as a celebration.

    Off to clear up after FurryBeast. He had an accident overnight despite the repaired door. He's feeling very sorry for himself and stinks. May have to wait for DH to come home though as I've been snapped at twice trying to clear him up. Hey ho.

    Have a great day everybody. :j

  • Morning all
    Hugs where needed and a large supply of sticks to throw at bds to hopefully lure them away.
    Got a call last night so I'm unexpectedly busy all day today.
    Two snoring boys on sofas, well young men really ds1 booked time off work hope his friend doesn't have uni today cos I'd have more fun and find it easier to wake the dead
    Anyway stuff to do so I'm rounding up all the stuff that can leave the house with me then I'll be away
    Hope the knitting goes ok today pigpen, mine went ok last night till I jabbed the end of a dpn into the cut I'd done on my fingertip at the weekend end and started it pouring again, ouch wasn't the word!!! But at least I didn't get blood on my knitting- I know Robin needs a red breast but doesn't want to look like an extra from a slasher movie.

    Have a good day all
    'See' you later.
