OK, mailed some local councilors for my Mum and Dad. They have been waiting 3 months for a new coal bunker as the one they have is cracked, so the coal is wet and useless. Bloody ignorant council have left with no heating as they are not a priority!

Now, I need a pee, so off to the bedroom to paint then tidy the pit of despair! rawr!

I got mine in Tesco aswell sexymouse, about £1 for 5 I think, won't be on the website I don't think, stuff like that usually isn't. Stationary Box are usually cheap aswell if you have one near.

Dinner - left over spring rolls I cooked last night yummy, dogs having pigsears, coffee sounds a great idea.

Tiamai they should be allowed to leave them without heating, hope you get a response soon.

Stuck to shopping list almost, did buy dogs a few treats (like the ears) but still going to be well under budget this month inc a massive sack of dog food which will last through to next month. Off to add todays spend to my total and have a grin to myself not as if we're eating badly either considering I am mainly working from freezer, sirloin steaks for tea tonight which I found in there. Natural born horder inc for food Nothing in charity shop worth having either so more ££ saved.

Had a bit of a sad cow session this morning. Was crossing the road at the pedestrian crossing, lights turn to red, beeping starts so we all start to cross. This woman on a bike decides that the lights do count for her so she has to weave in and out of us. I turn to one of the other mums who crossed the road and said "obviously the lights dont apply for bikes. You try to teach you children where and how to cross the road safely and then there are idiots who just dont care". This woman just stared at me, coughed and blanked me completely. I find it really hard to make the first move when it comes to conversation and this just really knocked my confidence and upset me. I know it sounds stupid but thats me!

Well I had planned to do an hours ironing but will have to make it half an hour now as it took so long to read all the posts - shame that:D .

shell - just shows some people are ignorant! Get a few like that here. In fact just had similar response when I dropped off stuff at the charity shop, the manager is lovely but some other woman was in who said 'Hope it's not just junk!' could have slapped her, cheeky witch, like I pointed out there was brand new items in there, I could take them elsewhere if she prefered. An hour, ironing, that's like a swear word, I don't do that a month!

ok, kettle boiled, grab a coffee and I have 20mins to stare at the bedroom and tsk before I have to go get DS1.

oh sod it, like I would get much done anyway! I'm going to enjoy my coffee! Maybe hubby will help me tonight?

Shell, most of the parents at my school are stuck up cows, so I wouldn't worry about it. let them be ignorant, just think of how much better your kids will be than hers.

I got waylaid!! I decided to sand the remaining acrylic off my broken nail... not only it super-sore and painful it is naked too.. and I'm really struggling to type as it is the middle finger onthe left hand I use it ALL the time.

Cuppa sounds brill shell.. alas I have a wall to paint so I can put the unit back in the bathroom before the masses get back and destroy it all.. I decided just to repaint the bit behind the unit so we don't have to take it off again.. how lazy am I?? lol.. the ceiling needs doing as well so it isn't like we won't be getting the paint out again!

Back in about 20 minutes.. with a cuppa or 12 I hope!!!

I finished peeling the onions though!!!!! Just need to buy another bag full on the way home! and a payment to make at the bank.. and my paypal money was in the account already so I used it to pay off the water bill!!!!! woohoo.. no more water bill until April!!!!!

Hiya everyone
DS slept through until 9am so i'm glad dd was staying at her grandmas so I didn't have to wake him up.

Dilemna time - but not a big one! We need to sand down our bannisters, door frames and skirting boards for all downstairs. Do I pack everything away including five bookshelves of books or do I just cover them and move the bookshelves when I need too? We need to have a big sort out of books as they're all over the place so I supposed I could do that before we start. Now i'm rambling. Ok, any ideas how to tackle it?

Speak soon and way to go solway!
