How exciting Tia! :T

I hope you manage to find the childcare and pass the interview

lil_me

g&b well done
tia well done looks great, wonder if you could get the childcare costs with the CA or from tax credits.....I know if one person is on IB and the other works they can still claim childcare, unsure on the CA...might be worth looking into.

Right, first pile of bedding in WM, pillow cases and darks load, sheet/duvet cover to go in next, then the protector with the whites laundry. I have remade the bed apart from the duvet cover as I can't find the spare, I got stuck under the mattress when I was turning it over which was comical.

Best go empty the DW. Oh and make some lunch, I'm starving....

GandB - 2lbs - well done. Forgot it is wednesday, will weigh myself tomorrow! Not holding out much hope as didn't have a fag for 2 days and last night I had to go to bed to stop eating!!!!! I fell off the fag wagon today, but will get right back on again. I can do it.

Electrician came today and we now have 2 lights in dd's bedroom. Next to come will be the wall to make 2 bedrooms woo hoo!!!!!
Builder also came round today and is coming back with a price to make kitchen and garage one big room. Now got to phone kitchen designer to come round to design kitchen. Prop not use the kitchen designer but will use his design!!!!
I'm on a high as it all looks like it is finally going to happen. Just need to empty understairs cupboard (can't get in!), garage - don't even go there and girls bedroom - oh my god, toys like you wouldn't believe and more clothes than I've got and more shoes than imelda marquos!!!!!
DD1 had her easter concert today - she was brill. They recited their poems again, each class sang a song and then, after only 4 weeks of learning, the recorder group(dd1 part of) played a song on their recorders, and were very good. Mum and dad came and obviously mum cried! Can't take her anywhere.
Better do some more work before boss gets back. One more day at work then I've got 11 days off, would be good if we could get the girls rooms done by the time I get back to work. We'll see.

Catch up later.

Phew.. we are back.. well.. that was interesting.. and there I was thinking we would be dischrged at the first appointment.. but no.. she is on the aaiting list for physio and also for a support thing for in her shoe.. She is having hip pain as she stands at a tilt so hopefully this should remedy itself!.

We've had lunch out.. and bought new clothes.. and had our feet measured in Clarks.. As she is so much better behaved than Tiddles I am keeping her at home today and leaving tiddles at nursery.. how mean is that?? (to the staff!! lol)

Dealing with the post now.. ie waiting on hold to yell at someone! .. I love this aspect of my job!

Pigpen at least they are doing something to help, pleased you've been listened to.

Nurse rang, they can't help with mattress but they are coming out next week with 'protection options' as in nappies and pads, see which ones might fit the little tike, who isn't so little. Will order one of those zip on/off mattress protectors myself I think. Eeeeee what will I do if they are providing decent nappies/pads.....thats £40 a month minimum saving if they are any good, definately help financially. She was saying they might suggest meds at his 'pee clinic' appointment which I am unsure about, won't be saying ok until I research them.

FF engineer been, he did question the fact it's in a cold garage, but like I said it's had this error since before we moved. Recommended temp is 5 degrees plus and I don't think the garage gets under that but it might. Regardless they're replacing the sensor and control unit. Downside is I need to EMPTY and DEFROST it, eeekk!!! It's packed to the door.. Anyway a lot of it's breads etc aswell, just got to ban myself from buying anything...hard...will fret as that is one of my 'comforts'...but I will have to do it. Thankfully I do have the second one in the house (also packed to the door at the moment)

Bother, forgot lunch, but I did completely clean the bathroom, flung lots of empties etc, rearranged a lot of stuff inc finding a bag for the cotton buds which I keep scattering everywhere by mistake. 4 carrier bags flung....didn't count the items but pleased with that.

Just got time for a quick cuppa before i have to go back to nursery, they are having an easter thing as it is their last day. First loaf gone into the new BM, i'm making french bread to go with my bolognaise. I'm gonna be so disappointed if its crap:rotfl: Had a look at the C25K website, cant remember who mentioned it, possibly Luby-lou? Apologies if it wasnt, it looks really good, will start it once LO goes back to nursery. Need to buy a stopwatch though i think.

Just got my car back With a service, it only cost me £185.00 so I'm pleased it's not more serious.

Hi everyone,

G&B - https://signin.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?SignIn&UsingSSL=1&pUserId=&co_partnerId=2&siteid=3&ru=http%3A%2F%2Fcgi1.ebay.co.uk%2Fws%2FeBayISAPI.dll%3FBidderBlockLogin%26guest%3D1&pageType=813

To block a bidder

SummerMoon - (hugs) you and your family.

tracyg - I hope you managed to speak to someone today. I get so excited at hometime - there are grown-ups around to talk to :rotfl: (once I get over feeling like an utter plank!)

Sorry it seems like that is as much info as my brain will hold (hugs) to anyone I missed.

No flying done today - might see what I can do later. Mum managed to prove that it doesn't matter how small the amount of time here she always has to have her parting shot I am trying so hard not to let her get to me but it still hurts. See this is so stupid I am crying here because if I stick to my guns I know she will be upset but if I do what she wants I will be upset (and DH too) grrr families

ok coffee slap a smile on my face and get the little people.

and sorry for the bad mood.
