Trying to figure out how to use this new forum etc, its driving me semi nuts...lol Still at least I have my edit button back..just don't like this double spacing in the reply box.
Not sure what to do today as I'm plodding.. Have sorted out and put away my roasting/baking trays shelf though. There's a wash load going around too (I'm really enjoying the bigger load washing machine 😆)
Have got a couple of things to type up though so might do that later but think first it's cup of tea time.

Round 1 completed + had a long chat with DS, then a brief fling or keep session with DS = 3 wash bags to cs and 1 whoopie cushion binned. Every little helps
Going to peg out the towels - double peg methinks

Girls all banished to school.. it's not raining but it is still blowing a gale out there. Thankfully, I don't have to do any school runs today. Dot is absolutely on top form today so it looks like they will be having fun at school.
I've woken up not wanting to make ANY of the necessary phone calls.. I didn't even try to get through to the quack.. that is just futile.
Well... CAMHS rang me back about Dot, eventually, ... apparently once more school have fluffed up and they are supposed to do the referrals and have a checklist thing to fill in which they haven't done and I have wasted another 3 weeks.. I am so angry and frustrated and all I want is some understanding and support for her.. I want to hit people!! So, I was explaining to OH what had gone on and how once more school have failed Dot and he had the absolute audacity to huff at me like he wasn't interested or I had no right to be angry with school or that what I was saying about his daughter is boring.. so I have thrown a little bit of a tantrum and told him i am not even going to try speaking to him because clearly I am just not worth y of being listened to.. I am so angry I could cry.. but I can't do that because I have to go into school and speak to the incompetent SENCO who absolutely hates me and doesn't even speak to me ever. She calls OH if there is no other way lol.
Anyway.. I am RAGING.. and I have to go speak to people at school in 1.5 hours in a calm and rational manner.. this is going to be difficult.
Back to my plan of saving £1450 for a private assessment. YAY!

Since my last post I have got washed and dressed, put away dry washing from yesterday, changed the bedding, dusted dusty bits in bedroom, taken the dogs for a walk in a sleety shower, fed the birds, sorted recycling, trimmed back a hydrangea, reported storm damage to our landlord and had yummy spicy potato soup for lunch.Spend less now, work less later.10
