Well I've had a bath I feel so much better now :rotfl: I managed to wash my hair and have a soak and a good wash and the only problem I had was the slight stinging I had when the water first touched the blisters :j I think I might have a bath tomorrow as well

Hopefully I'll be able to get on with things now. But I'm not going to do the washing up yet, not until I can get to Asda for some new gloves and the blisters go down! :rolleyes:

Off to play on the net. I made the mistake of having a coffee at 9pm, I thought it was 8pm :rolleyes::o See you all tomorrow :wave:

Erm.. no cleaning out the vacuum wasn't on this weeks list.. but it will be if you need it?? I did mine at the weekend.. after vacuuming up a used condom from behind DS1's monitor.. with my dtson.. so I could see it whizzing round in the cyclone thing.. for about 2 minutes until it cut out on me.. so I cleaned it out.. lol.. and his w**k mag.. yes the pages WERE stuck together lol

I've collected my quids from my mothers so I have dinner money for tomorrow for the big 3 and can catch up todays payment at primary.. they are pack up tomorrow so I'll get hubby to do that while I get a shower. I have personal hygiene issues!!! lol

Oh pigpen thank you for that! Reminded me of when my mother found a used one in my brothers suit pocket:rotfl: On one hand she was pleased he was being sensible and on the other she wanted to throttle him - but she never went through his pockets again:D
happy memories!

Evening all, just thought I would show my face before bed. Another day of appointments for DS1 and calling estate agents. I did manage to fit in a short visit to my best friend (baby due in 5 weeks ) who I nagged a little for a few things like she's leaving the door locked with key in etc mentioning what will happen if she starts in labour and can't get to the door! She was getting some strong practise contractions today but her dates are 3 weeks earlier than those she was given and baby is bigger so this one might come early! I'm taking her to dentists tomorrow, she was going to get the bus but it's 15 miles away and I would be less worried if I take her.

Done a little flying but it's weird, because I don't want to be here I am struggling to get motivated. I know that will of course cause more chaos if/when we do find somewhere.

Spoke to DS1s doctor (psychiatrist) who is extremely supportive of us, she's lovely, explained what is happening, aswell as swearing (son was out of the room at the time, she was just angry about what we'd been through over the last few weeks especially after seeing DS1s injuries from self harm) she offered immediately to help however she can and is putting a letter together for the council which hopefully will help us move up a banding if they take notice of it, meaning we would be rehoused much quicker through them. Fingers crossed they take notice of it.

Right enough of my rambling, promise to do more tomorrow, I've got a list a mile long to do which I will post in morning as I'll be going to collect my friend at lunch time.

Hugs to all, especially tiamai, good luck to shell

pigpen

ok.. I'm done.. how was my timing?

rach

lil_me - fingers crossed for you.

well, i've almost completed the writing, need to do one more bit in the morning and then send off to the editor. i'm really busy tomorrow, got an assembly at 10.15 which isn't planned yet. also haven't done the job apps today so must get them done. had planned coffee with friend at lunchtime but might have to shelve that. time is running out before i go away on thurs night and thurs aft is busy too. feel a bit overwhelmed with it all at the moment. not massively lookign forward to the holiday (with OHs whole family - 8 of us altogether, not sure it'll be the isolated relaxing break i need). OH is really not looking forward to it which is worrying me, though he is always like this about any kind of social thing and is usually fine in the end. to top it off he is v scared of flying and keeps going on about how we'll all go down in flames.... deep breaths...

sorry i'm waffling too, helps to get it off the chest!
