Showered and breakfasted now. Going to dry my hair and then do a HHC to get the kitchen straight before neighbours children arrive and then my 3 have haircuts at home today.

Updating list later but leaving living room doing hall, stairs, landing and DS1 room today.

Mudbath

morning

lil-me - great news about your son eating lasagne, you must be so pleased. my friends son is similar and it's always fantastic when he tries something new. he still doesn't like food touching on his plate so it can be an ordeal for her.

johanne - thinking of your MIL and you take it easy xx
dh fixed the broken scooter so i'm going to take the dog out with the children and scooters. a bit of bracing fresh air. will take inhaler before i go.

lots of cleaning and tidying to do today.

we're considering moving to usa for a year so dd will miss year 5 here and dd will miss year 3. they'll obviously go to school over there so will be fine. bit scary though. i'm going to get the house sorted as if we're going to rent out and then even if we don't i'll have a very decluttered and clean house. scary but exciting if it's possible.

speak soon, have a good day xx

I'm back......the Duck still wasn't reduced so I bought the flippin thing anyway, probs spent more on petrol getting there than I would have saved and the lass didn't even think they were going to be reduced so......bought some soup whilst I was there :rolleyes: in my defence they were on special 5 tins for £2 and they will get used.

Noticed when I put the rubbish out that there a great big broken glass botlle of alcohol in my garden - next doors doing no nowt! :mad: I f****** hate that family! :mad: If she knocked on my door at this very minute I'd be likely to bash her head in on her smashed brick wall :mad: I'm so annoyed at myself for not keeping up with the diary cause it'd be as long as your arm now, but the environmental agency will do naff all anyway, she only responds to arguing and violence (usually in the street :rolleyes: ) so maybe I should fight like-for-like even though I'd be lowering myself to her level. Passing feelings people.....just passing feelings....I wont really. I AM gonna bag it up and sling it on her front door step though :rotfl: she wont notice the glass seeing as she smashed her OH's car window in again and just left it all there.

Oooooh think I may have a touch of PMT

Morning everyone,

Lil_me thats great news about DS.

johanne hope all goes well today.

Still feeling crap but have to get on think i'll call into the chemist and see what they say, throats red raw and i was up again at 4 this morning looking for pain killers. Really gonna try and crack on today because i don't want to fall behind, the place is a tip.

Right cuppa first then i'll print out lists.

lil_me

Mudbath, same here with the food touching etc :rotfl: meal times are great fun. Hence why lasagne is such a bigger thing, because it's foods that are mixed together, if that makes sense. Oh and exciting about USA, I'm not brave enough to move abroad even if my partner goes on about it all the time (permenantly not just for a year) I don't think I could

embb, neighbour sounds a bit of a nightmare, I thought things had settled down with them as you haddn't mentioned it for a while. Supposedly my old neighbours now have someone nice to live next door to, she's put the living room window out to get her sofa in, 4 other windows been smashed, garden is trashed etc according to others who live there, sounds lovely. Do feel for some of the other neighbours there however who were nice people. Don't think I could go back and look as it'd make me cross.

Well walked DS2 to school, took dogs across the fields on the way back and then spent the last half an hour defrosting with a cuppa and some toast. Have done the emails sorting/sending/freecycle ones, online bankings done transfering lots of bill payments etc. We still have patches of the white stuff but it's defrosting nicely. Second washer loads on but will be getting dried indoors (TD if needed)

Right, suppose that means I should start studying now, might be back at lunch time ish.......

Li_me she's forever at it, arguing, swearing, smashing things up, the noise that eminates from her mouth/house would wake the dead sometimes, mostly sit here laughing at her and pointing lol but this glass bottle has made me see red! I've got a bag full of rubbish they've chucked over and the glass bottle, it was in bits all over the grass and I haven't got all of it up it's sitting in the long grass, so no-ones allowed outside till the warmer weather gets here and I get mow it. I just know that this is gonna cause trouble, she'll probs fling it back into mine :rolleyes:

It's started snowing again....BOO HISS!

She sounds just lovely embb, type of person you'd like to put poo on her door handles, crickets and locusts in her letter box etc.....or just get her to move house! More snow!!! No....I don't want it hope it's not blowing this way
