    Apologies for being AWOL most of the week; we seem to have the pc problems sorted now *crosses fingers* - it's been a blighter to sort out, and I'm not 100% sure we're out of the woods yet.

    Add to that - remember the other week I had a 40-page form for PIP to fill out, and they're threatening me with a face-to-face interview? Well, I got another lot - this time just 20 pages, but the threat of another face-to-face interview, this time for ESA. So I've been pretty much non-functional for the last few days. BD has moved in complete with 3 suitcases and a prefabricated kennel!

    Took Patch out earlier this afternoon - and the path through the field is flooded, so we had to turn round and go a different route along the Redways.

    The bungalow is like a tip; Mr LW hand-delivered the last of the Yule cards today, and he's got the box of [STRIKE]tat[/STRIKE] decs out of the loft, but I just cba to do anything with them.
    I may just hibernate instead!

    They always do a face to face interview I did warn you... however 4 months later we are still waiting for DS3 to get his so it doesn't seem to be that urgent.

    While I remember.. when you go you can take someone in with you so you wont be alone.. and you MUST ask the medical qualification of the interviewer.. if they are not medically qualified you can insist on a different interviewer who is qualified.

    If Mr Wolf is going to be your nominated person they will pop to the house for 5 minutes to check you are not being coerced and so mr wolf can sign a document saying he will only act in your best interests.

    I'm living by my diary at the moment too, mummyroys so much to remember!

    Sounds horrible, LW but as piggers says it could be a while and you'll drive yourself nutty if you keep worrying about it xxx

    Did a spot of baking this afternoon - used up some squishy bananas. Made muffin mix, but did it in a reindeer cake tin and a xmas tree cake tin, lol. Will take them to work tomorrow.

    DD has her school party so wants to go in her Elsa dress. Need to get bags etc ready for morning and some lunch for me. Also need to sort dinner for tomrrow as I've got a college open evening to go to.

    3 days left at paid stuff. Phew.

    Oh pants, I'm doing the list tonight, aren't i? I might need to add two days worth in if that's ok - tomorrow likely to be a mad rush...

    LW we have had the face to face interview for DS. The lady (a qualified nurse) who came was lovely. She just went through a typical day for DS and went over some of the things that we had put on the form. DS hardly spoke except to do a couple of tasks like repeat a sequence of numbers and pick up a piece of paper that she put on the floor. Oh and we had a home visit, dont know why because we didnt ask for it but it made a big difference. It was nowhere near as bad as we thought it would be.

    Like everyone else its going to be a busy week. And the plumber is starting on the bathroom tomorrow.

    I made mince pies this aft but now I cant stop eating them. Better get to my last 2 gym classes before Christmas!

    1 more box of wrapping (DD1 and her OH) and I just have 3 more boxes to traipse through.. going to do that one now.. and the rest tomorrow and Tuesday.. I'm feeling all organised.. I do need to sort cards though.. and for Squeaks and Dots classmates.. I'd boss OH to do them but his writing is illegible.

    Pixie pooped on the chair while she was asleep (shes not a well pixie) so that is all on the washer.. it is much tidier now all the laundry is away.. but I do need to spend next week blitzing my house.. after hopefully helping my mother with hers this week!

    Anyway.. wrapping.. I need to finish this so I can finish this knitting and get the things blocked tomorrow!
