Did out another kitchen cupboard today. DH is starting a new rota on Sunday and will have to take a meal with him to eat on his break. So we now have a couple of new lunch boxes, a couple of micro/freezer pots with lids and some toaster bags for toasties. So I sorted this cupboard to give him a shelf to keep his stuff together.
There is a tea-room at the depot with micro and toaster - now I just have to dream up five one-pot meals he can take each week :think:

Pigpen - They look like butter wouldn't melt lol
I've done most of the laundry, and got my work done. I've also had an extra teen here for about half an hour then a panicked dash to the nearest bus stop (main road it runs on is closed from 8pm-6am due to road works which were meant to be finished on the 1st, now the council are saying 15th but I've not seen it advertised anywhere else!!) when she realised she was going to be late home. I had to go with them as there's no way I was letting 2 teen girls walk somewhere DD doesn't know that well (well she knows it when she's on the bus, but she doesn't know the short cut which also avoids the roadworks. Plus she wanted to go to an even further away stop through the park!!! ), especially as DD would have then had to walk home on her own when it was getting dark. I just managed to get my order in a few minutes late :mad:
Plans for tomorrow have been rain checked again so I'm going to get jobs done in the house and some paid work as well. I've literally just tidied my work stuff away by dumping it all in a box

Raging to the point of fighting off the irrational blubbering.. I have a possible DVT.. and can have a GP appointment NEXT Wednesday at the very soonest.. I might actually be dead by then.. I never go to drs you all know this yet despite having had several letters and phone calls asking me to make an appointment when I ring to make one they won't do it.
Squeak was late for school as a result of having to sit and wait 20 minutes on the phone when I should have been getting her sorted.
