  • Good evening :D

    As predicted, DH has been moping around all afternoon after going to the dentist. Seriously, he should try childbirth!!! :rotfl::rotfl: While he was wallowing, I have had 3 boys 3 & under to look after (one of then is severely autistic), plus 2 girls after school to do dinner for. I have unloaded the DW, washed up, sorted dinner for the girls, done a food shop & cleared some rubbish from the car. He has promised to clear the car out for me tomorrow morning. I have changed over the insurance wef tomorrow at a cost of £22.42, including the £9.50 admin charge, so not too bad.

    Ionafan thank you! I received the hooks today! They haven’t been used yet, but I will make sure they are used soon. Thanks again :T

    Hugs to Dizzy & ASB

    ionafan - you are too kind xx I had no need of my inner Freddy Krueger yesterday thank goodness :D DS informs me that FK chases people in their dreams and is not a suitable name for my inner :mad:. Hmm pedant....wonder where he gets that from :rotfl:

    Where did January go?

    Black bin (general waste), blue box (paper) and green box (metal and glass) are out for collection with large bag of shredded paper and two carrier bags of cans sat on top :T Byebye :D

  • Well done on the right turns Round - I am now managing to drive to hospital without breaking out into a cold sweat :)

    DH doing the hospital check up today as I have work to do. Felt completely overwhelmed by work yesterday (forgot about a meeting) and my line manager said to me that no-one would think badly of me if I just went off sick while DS is going through his treatment. It would cause massive repercussions at work though as we are such a small organisation and my job is really specialised, so even getting a temp would be hard. Just feel like there must be a better compromise somewhere.

    So today I will do a bit of work and give DSs bedroom a clean and change his bed while he is not in it. Will also make something nice for tea in the hope that he might eat something.

    Kilellila never heard of a suicide first aider, that sounds a really tough thing to do, but very rewarding at the same time.

    Right, on with the day x
  • Good morning :D

    DH is still moping about.....
    I have walked the dog, checked the bank accounts and cleaned out some more bits from the car. Hopefully DH will get his @*$* in gear and finish that off as I am now working until 2pm, and then we are off to pick up the new car after that! It could probably do with being hoovered as it is minging!!

    Have a good day everyone!

    Well as it's Thursday, that means my weekly visit to my parents' house to help them look after my niece and nephew. Need to make the packed lunches for my DS2 and I, and hopefully get some more flying done this afternoon when I get back home again. Little Black Furry is currently curled up on our bed, so didn't want to turf him off to change the sheets this morning. Will have to wait til later.


    Hugs and get well soon wishes to everyone, and happy flying!

    Morning all.

    Managed to do all the dailies before first paid shift. Bathroom flooring is currently being laid. Think I may get high on the glue fumes.

    Once that's done, I've a little project to make progress on and then I'll walk the dogs.

    Hope everyone is having a great day.
    Spend less now, work less later.
