My kitchen/living room/hallway floors desperately need cleaning (hands and knees jobby) but I'm not doing them today, I'll have good hair this afternoon and don't want to ruin it by sweating in it urgh!
Waiting for Tesco Direct delivery today also but OH is coming round to sit whilst I'm at the hairdressers. Going to take DD1 down to hand in a CV at a solicitors? accountants? architects? it didn't say what it was but it's on the road where all them type of businesses are, so fingers crossed for her. Oh and if I've got time I want to join the library, does anyone know what I.D. type stuff I'll need to take?0 - [strike]

Morning!!! Sorry I haven't read back much, but hugs :grouphug: I do think about you all!!
In a sad mood at the moment, can't tell you any details, promised DD1 I wouldn't tell anyone, no one tells you how you can hurt for your children.
I need to get stuck in before I sit here wallowing in grief and the whole house needs doing.. The rug is covered in a thick layer of Golden Retriever hair, not an attractive look..
hi ho, hi ho, it's off to tackle the mess I go......:wave:0 -
