    Congratualtions Auntie Solway! what a wee staoter!

    Dog is going mental, he has had no food or water since 8pm last night (well, 8.30pm as I HAD to give him a treat for behaving while I groomed him) he is off to the vets for 'that'. Neutered. And his back dew claws removed. I have asked for him to be chipped too, but they can shove it, the PDSA will be in the pet shop soon doing it for free.

    Withcypoo my clean laundry is all away and the bag of charity clothes from the landing are now on the driveway as there is a collection today.

    Hugs to anybody who has little ones starting school or cheers if that is how you feel.

    I have a laplurker who feels rather warm.

    Right I want to wash up before I go out - all bedrooms shipshape, might have time for a swish and swipe too and another load in the WM.

    Checked passports and all in date for the full year, not that we are planning on leaving the country but you never know.

    Morning all! :hello:

    Baby girl only got up once in the night (at eight months old, I know she should be sleeping through, but apparently nobody told her that. I told her, but I don't count, I'm an adult and therefore don't know anything.) She went through a stage when she was poorly of getting up six times a night, so only once is like a holiday for us! :j

    Am feeling positive today, am about to write a list of things that DH and I can do to start bringing money in today and pick up jobs that mean we can still be at home. It's been fabulous having DH off with me, but now he thinks it's fabulous too and is dragging his heels about returning to work.

    Baby boy is back at school and was looking forward to seeing his friends, so let's hope for a good start to the term.

    Right, will now stop whinging and start sorting.

    Yay just got M&S cc statement and it is zero - trying not to use that card anymore as they make me cross very pleased.

    Edit and I have filed it and trown away the envelop rather than leave them on the pile on my desk.

    *panic* will my doggy be ok?

    *deep breath* calm and assertive that this is the best thing for him like Ceaser says. He will be fine, will feel loads better without his manly bits making him want to find girly bits.

    OK, time to go.

  • Morning ladies,

    For those needing new passports - a little tip is to apply online. Seconds to complete the form, it's then printed and posted to you - just add photos and your signature, pop in a cheque and send away. Becuase its printed it'll easily be machine read at t'other end and you'll receive your new passport much more quickly!

    Although no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending.... life is a WIP.

I told them they had to email me copies.. stupid people.. I'll be ringing them today for a copy.. They just have no awareness the level of his anxiety and lack of memory.. pee's me off sometimes!

    DD3 off to dentist for 11am..
    TD man coming after 12 noon
    Silly woman coming at 12:30pm
