Oh no Lil_me hope your ok.
I'm just finished the kitchen and pics took but the cd for the camera isn't working right ( i have the drivers but it's the installation) so i'm trying to sort that on the computer while i'm on the laptop.
Kids are all going nuts and lively so time for supper and bed for them.b
Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.And things go wrong no matter what I do.Now and then it seems that life is just too much.But you've got the love I need to see me through.:j :j0 -
How awful lil_me, thank goodness you are all ok. Damn annoying though and even worse that they drove off.Official Mascot and Chief Cheerleader for the 'Mortgage Free in Three' Gang0

Gosh - today has been a long day. I didn't leave work until after 5, and it was nearly 5:45 when i got in so my evening has been a bit rushed. Got quite a bit done though.
Can't wait for wednesday though to have a full day off work. Feeling really tired as charlie woke up last night at 11 when DH came to bed, and around 3:30. I also found it hard to sleep as i was feeling a bit stomach crampy and couldn't get comfy. Early night tonight as soon as i can manage it basically.

Hugs lil_me what a horrid experience. Hope you get to have an early night to get over the shock.
Feeling a bit grim now. Aunt Flo arrived this morning. I am sick of the weather and I am missing DS2 alredy - it will be a long week.
DS3 brighter now so hope he will be in school tomorrow.
TV for me now with a whole draw load of receipts to sort out.
Picke dup OH on the way back from dropping DS1 off so he can go out and pick him up.The birds of sadness may fly overhead but don't let them nest in your hair0 -
choked with the cold all i managed was a half hearted swipe at the kitchen and a pot of leek and potato soup.I was feeling sorry for myself till i read lil-me's hit and run, poor you people can be scum sometimes."Sometimes life sucks....but the alternative is unacceptable."0

Noone seen what car it was or the reg, woman in front thought they'd hit her but they haddn't, she swerved too and nearly hit a tree. Suppose the evil person in me just hopes that hitting my car with such force has done nasty damage to theirs, can't see it like, will be one of those where they got a teeny scratch.
Autoglass fella is there now, 1/2 hour earlier than expected and he's vacuumed the front out for me too what a gem, annoying still that this nugget has cost me a fortune, don't even know if it was male or female. Cheapest I've found a wing mirror so far is £50 on ebayI have £100 put away for car expenses but didn't expect this which is now well over that and DPs tax needs renewing aswell as his car needing a new wheel bearing
might have to take his car off the road for a while, will chat with him later.
Thanks for the hugs, I've just got cuts and sore face where the mirror came through and hit me, DS1 been double checked now and he seems fine thankfully, bit upset so choccy milk before bed as a treat.
Think I'll join the before 9pm crew!One day I might be more organised...........
GC: £200
Slinkies target 2018 - another 70lb off (half way to what the NHS says) so far 25lb0 -
