    soappie if all else fails do the last one! (ok and the g&t part of the second last one)

    Grrrr parking 'issue' restarted last night. Moron who has no sense parked across my drive again after I had gone to bed. DP left a note asking him not to park across the drive instead of waking them up at 3am when he got home or phoning police again (who offered to fine him or tow his car away) he's since posted a note back through trying to be cheeky inc saying 'socially acceptable people would have knocked on the door' oooooo DP now in a BAD mood. Like I said, socially acceptable people don't break the law after being warned by the police, so he isn't behaving in a socially acceptable manner for a start, I wouldn't see it as socially acceptable to wake an entire household inc a child who needs to be at school because of one member of the households inability to use common sense and park legally. Soooo because of the note saying he should have knocked on the door, now at 3-5am when DP gets home, that's what he'll probably do if the same happens again. I can see them not being very happy about it. Now of course my other neighbours will be getting irrate with them because rather than blocking his mother's drive way he'll block theirs instead.

    **Takes deep breath!**

    Right, now do I wait up and watch the Corrie reruns I missed because of Crufts, or record them and go to bed? I'm a little cautious about going to bed yet because one of the dogs stomachs is making awful noises and he's breaking wind badly, possible tummy upset.
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    Morning :wave:

    Glad you're on the mend shell x

    I've got loads to do in the house today, teenie did my lounge yesterday for me so that's ok but the rest all needs doing. Got work at 12 today for a couple of hours (yawn) so that kinda breaks up the flow/momentum but I'm gonna try my best and see what I can fit in before 11.30am.

    List:-

    Do everything!

    that's nice and short, should only take 5 minutes.

    :D

    Morning everyone,

    Hex thank you for the info think i'll get another tree and plant it in the second garden hopefully that should work ok.

    The youth club tonight are taking the kids to dundonald icebowl but to the play end with all the slides and balls and stuff, i'm to go as a leader:j it's my first time being asked to be one so i'm actual nervous.:rotfl: DD gets to go free because she goes to the youth club, the boys go to but there under age so i stay. Didn't think i'd have enough money to take us all but have a fiver deal still left over from scotland so can use that to pay for one of the boys:j and then that leaves enough money to pay the youngest in and get them a mickyD's.

    Right today flying is
    1) finish washing
    2) sort clothes for everyone for tonight
    3) fix washing line
    4) clear DD's bedroom
    5) clear utility room
    6) sort through more bulbs that i have and hopefully find somewhere to plant
    7) thing of something for dinner
    and that's it so far, i'm sure i'll think of more.:rotfl:
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.
