    Well had a disaster of a morning maybe I should have stayed in bed! :o

    Youngest has been a total terror and has smashed my screen on my phone by knocking it off. It was cracked already but now it's totally shattered all over grrr! It works still though so it'll be fine still a pain though. It's our only Internet access :o DH phone is just a £10 pay as you go thing and doesn't even have a vibrate function never mind net or a camera :rotfl:

    She's now having a tantrum because she wants to go get chips from the chip shop not me make her some :rotfl: the joys of a three year old ;)

    Thanks mummy it didn't get any worse haha!

    I don't know what's up with me can't shift my mood :(

    We are going away Friday :eek: sooner than I thought! It's not a problem though. Everything is organised enough not to worry and I just need to actually put things in the case because everything is organised and ironed etc.

    I want to get a set of keys cut though. Other half lost his ordinal set months and months ago, so now we only have one set which is a pain! I might try to fit this in Wednesday. Arranged to see my sister tomorrow, a good moan might be what's needed to make me snap out my awful mood :o I've been awful :o

    Both DS and DD have got star of the week this week so have an award assembly to attend to. I've not told them about the holiday and don't plan too ;) will collect them from school Friday and totally surprise them :rotfl:

    PayPal funds still haven't hit bank, nor has panelpase cash out so no update on money still.

    Well done to the DC!

    We had a holiday a few years ago, didn't tell the children, they thought we were going on a day trip, was a fantastic surprise, we had taken them out of school (naughty, i know) and even the teachers kept it a secret. I absolutely packing though and usually sorting it right up till the last minute.

    Well what an awful incident in town last night :( I haven't slept because it's sent my anxiety through the roof. What kind of world are we living in :(

    Still feel sick over whats happened, so close to home too.

    I really didn't want to send my littles to school this morning :o but of course I did after an extra tight hug. It makes me question what the **** we are bringing our children up around and I just wish I could keep them small and innocent forever.

    Still skint 7p in the bank :o Might go pay £5 in to send to council tax but then I'd be left with about £3 in change until Friday so maybe not.

    Wage should be seen on tax account later this evening and then when the wage slips in Thursday hopefully other half hasn't spent any of it! I will be big mad if he has!

    Other half got his birthday card from his family member this morning with £20 in. Took the £20 from him while he was offering and went and paid it straight off the council tax. Its going to look awful come next weekend when it says I'm £154 behind :eek:

    Need to try and get it down before they cancel the agreement :(

    Hope your ok this morning hidden. I'm further away and it made me cry watching the news this morning, must be worse knowing it's so close to your home x

    Hopefully council tax will at least see your trying to catch up. Hope DH has a full wage for you to work with this week.
