    Morning, well no not quite but still :o

    I'm okay, guess I should stop moaning about it all the time :o

    I have some more cleaning that needs doing today, got smalls dad to help with lots of annoying bits yesterday and I have some more jobs for him today :rotfl: Including washing the girls hair and cooking a roast :rotfl: He's sure going to love that.

    I have done the smalls homework with them and that's completed for the week. Trying to find someone available to do stay and play Tuesday.

    I think I'm going to be brave and ask my sister to take me to Primark for some bits for the girls next week. Maybe (This probably won't happen but the thought is there :o)

    I hate that place :o It has to have been at least 2 years since I went in one myself But the girls need some leggings and bits. Everyone says there is 'cheapest' for basics. Maybe I should just send my sister with a list :rotfl:

    Good luck with the shopping trip, why not make it in to a bit of therapy and arrange a bit of lunch together too. It'll be good to get out and have some company x
