    Evening everyone.

    Just had a quick scan of todays posts. Mudbath :rotfl: at how you coped with the visiting child. Serena Glad to hear things are moving for your mum at last. Hello:hello: to the newbies.

    Lots of flying done at work. Theres 5 bathrooms so all those were done. We have a daily list a bit like Pigpens. Bathrooms are done everyday plus a bedroom. Then dailies etc.

    It was tiring working with someone who wont make a decision. Its not like this person is new she has been there a while. We needed some shopping. Which butchers do you want me to go to. Reply- Whichever one you like. Which town shall I go to. Reply- Its up to you. She said well you are in charge. Reply- Well no we are equal and work as a team. This goes on for most of the day lol.

    Daughter has been to see mum today and she was fine. Discovered that yes mum is confused cos they have changed rooms around. Why do they do it when they no it confuses them all.

    Its -6 here tonight. Cat and I are sitting beside radiator.

    Hi

    We just went to put Ds2's bed together, we took everything out of the box then realised that he would have about 6 inches of room to play.:eek: So after a massive row with OH because he tried to tell me apparently:rolleyes: that it wouldn't fit i've had to package it all back up and it has to go back. I thought i saving money getting a single bed instead of a toddler bed. Oh well Ds2 may well keep having naps for a little while longer;)

    Vacuum floors in bedroom and on landing will do on kids rooms day
