So it's pretty much only 15 weeks till Christmas? :eek: Glad I've already made a start as it'll fly by.
Got to go out now as I've just noticed I've run out of bacci *sigh* so I'll have to go to Asda so may as well pick my shopping up whilst I'm there....

Afternoon , thanks for the tea and hot chocolate.
Getting there with the kitchen, lunch done so need to go back in there and finish.
My DS2 is starting secondary school tomorrow - bless him he is so tiny. His only concern is about getting his lunch, he talks endlessly about the smart card system they use and how he will put money on. He wanted to be free school meals like at primary when OH was not working but I've explained he can still have lunches we just pay now:rotfl:
Right need to get that kitchen done so I can go to bike shop to get a screw for DS3 bike which broke when OH was raising the seat yesterday - he will not be happy if he cannot cycle to school. OH made his bunk beds for the teddies yesterday and he is really pleased with them.The birds of sadness may fly overhead but don't let them nest in your hair0 -

Tire out husky puppy

Hi guys!
Just a quick hello to you all (at work), and thanks to all of you who sent me well wishes and nice comments about being paid. Luckily my shoulder does seem to have eased off a bit today, and hopefully it will have a chance to completely recover by Saturday, as I'm at work all day.
Well done with all of the flying. Am heading straight to the supermarket after work, so will try to check in this evening.
Happy flying everyone!

:mad: absolutely fuming, my drunkered neighbour was outside yesterday shouting on, this time at someone else, then I went out to my car this morning & my wing mirror has been smashed off wish I'd caught whoevers done it, can guess it was that drunken old idiot, police coming round anyway but doubt they will be able to do much. Blasted through the sitting room cleaning, suppose being in a rage is good for some things!
Pigpen I'm sure your DS will be fine, I have no doubt you'll have it sorted in no time.
Oh and ordered Sky+ for us, sick of having to stay up until 2am to watch Holby on Sundays as we're out on Tuesdays now, aswell as that DP is at work when he wants to watch stuff. Managed to get it for £49 so not too bad as usually £99.One day I might be more organised...........
GC: £200
Slinkies target 2018 - another 70lb off (half way to what the NHS says) so far 25lb0 -
Right... I have just added £3000 to my debt .. for a new boiler and installation.. it was vital though as it should save me £100 a month short term and long term it is safer in my sons room, takes up less space and they are installing it in 4-6 weeks.. so the middle room will be emptied.. DS1 moved in there while the work is done and his room can then be decorated and he can move back in. This will mean I have to postpone sorting the girls room, but, that is cosmetic this is safety issues.
My kitchen looks like it belongs in someone elses house!!!
My front room looks like someone else
