LDJ1 Look magazine about ID theft/fraud again.

I got a few more bits done. kitchen tidied, dishes half done, some drying some steeping I had to have a sit down. Found a tub of bolognaise sauce, so thats heating up and some spaghetti is cooking for kids diner.

Friend called and when I told her I was ill she said I should have called her, I forgot she passed her driving test and got a car last week or i would have! She is coming up tomorrow to take me to the doctor and look after DS2 and I am moved to tears about it! I just got so used to just coping that I honestly didn't even consider asking anyone for help except hubby and he is working!

So if I still feel as bad tomorrow I can get to the doctors safely.

I've updated with tomorrows stuff. Sorry been a busy day with mother's car etc to sort so haven't been online much, trying to get the hang of something else I ended up volunteering for helping run a local freecycle, pretty straight forward thankfully. Hmmmm wonder if they'll let me just ban the annoying people who just post excessive wanteds all the time and annoy the **** out of me! Car, motorbike, laptop, good quality pine furniture, nintendo ds etc etc you get the idea.....grrr!!

Right, back to helping DP with the conservatory for a bit, found a cleaning company who will do the leather sofas for £50 which I don't think is too bad. Might ask them about the disgusting carpet in the hall/stairs/landing when they are here see if it can be rescued....because it's icky!

Just updating while stuffing my face. Having food early as I am out collecting for my stepdad (he's a window cleaner)

I've had a half hour snooze on the sofa once I got home from school so am almost feeling human.

DD1 asked if I had been in her room by any chance.. I said no why.. she said it has gone from dd1 'normal' to mummy's messy!! Hey the door even opens!!!.. Boys room tomorrow!!! I'm so glad I'm evil.

re 'wolfman'.. can you imagine the ribbing he gets in the pub lol!!!.. at least he didn't attack the binbag with the knife.. dead teabags everywhere lol.. what was the binbag doing in the living room anyway? I think we should send him an invite!! I wish I knew him lol We just get strange cats in our house.. strange as in 'not known to us.. rather than 'strange' weird ones which live here.

A productive day at work - nicely quiet so lots got done. We've organised two face to faces for next week. We've decided we'll HAVE to take one - we can't face the CV sifting and phone calling any more!

Wimped out of going to the market at lunchtime. It was so wet and windy, it was infinitely more preferable staying in the office and working through! Have done my bit of flying since I got home and now just need to raid the freezer for dinner - there are some lamb chops in there according to my inventory so we'll have those.

Done no flying today. Mother came over and chatted constantly so go nowhere but never mind. Not really in the mood as I have a sore throat and DS3 is complaining of one too.

Kids, just going to eat mine and then get little one into bed. We are back to staying up there with him until he is asleep. Doing nothing this evening. Tomorrow is another day.
