    Mumof2 hugs xx

    ATB, I have VAT visits, normally they last for two days, every three years or so, they just sit there and go through everything, I am normally sent a list of what they want to see in advance, and put it in a box for them, (previous years accounts etc) recent visits, about 6 six years ago they found nothing.......3 years ago I hadn't claimed 0.63p ! a complete waste of time for two people for two days, but hey ho, they need to do these things. I wish they would go after the bad businesses and scam businesses..........

    Thanks again for all the hugs. Today Z has said she feels better from talking about stuff and she has been to the GP who gave her the phone number for some form of counselling she can easily access. She has also chatted to Stephen, our minister and he really helped so let's hope we are over the worse now.

    Flying wise, I picked up in here a bit before Stephen came and there is a load of washing in the machine ready for me to take out and hang up. I have been working on and off all day though apart from when I fell asleep on the sofa with Whiz Whippet.

    Evening!

    Mumof2 - huge hugs for all of you; I'm glad things are looking up this evening xx

    LW - congrats on the re-licence! x :T

    atb - hugs for you too x

    Kitchen looks good here (well, better than it has in a while :o). Have WUALTD, WM x1, and popped to Mr A for a couple of bits too. Also trying to sort out where a microwave has gone that should have been delivered to Dad yesterday :mad:

    Got a phone call earlier asking me to do 3 more days supply this month which I have agreed to as I know the classes well. So, I'm working tomorrow morning and all day Friday this week. :money:

    Hi all

    My boss seems to be not speaking to me unless absolutely necessary. I have no idea why. We spent 5 hours in the same room today and exchanged about 4 sentences. If he wants to behave like a 4 year old that's fine, it was quite peaceful.

    Job no.2 was manic, didn't get there last week because of the snow and all the paperwork is all in a mess. I love a challenge.

    Good gym class done, tea eaten, feet up now. Really nothing that Wednesday can bring that will surprise me.

    Ooh and I did give the bath a good scrub while I was in it!

    Oh well....I'm in the wrong...again.

    Apparently it's OK to shout and take it out on me because DSS has organised to be out on his birthday, despite me reminding DH to get in touch weeks ago (and every other day since then) to sort out getting together. I've been pressured into cancelling a mums' night out to accommodate a possible, but now, unlikely family gathering in Sussex, been called selfish for reminding DH that Small has a birthday party on Sunday back here that he would like to go to, been called lazy for not rushing to get him a G&T after he got back in from his pie and pint evening with mates and generally treated like rubbish for daring to go for a bath when the TV controller was confiscated and football was yet again switched on for our enjoyment.

    I'm not liking my husband tonight.

    Himself was asked at the last minute to fill in for somebody at a gig. I did ask about the band, but he said 'just the usual, nothing spectacular about it'. I was going to go, but after a full day of work and my meds injection, I didn't feel up to it as he didn't tell me where it was until after I'd walked home - when I'd said I'd need to know before I left work so I could just go straight up and meet him. He then messaged just before 7 to say he's performing at x venue and he has no battery left on his phone.


    Just aimlessly perusing FB out of boredom and somebody from the band has tagged him.

    She's a drop dead gorgeous burlesque performer who does aerial work in practically nothing on stage except for glitter and spangles.


    Nothing spectacular, eh?

    So whilst he's off towards the end of next week (and leaving me to deal with the exhaustion of working overtime all week, about 14 hour days are expected), I've messaged an old mate and sorted out going to visit him at some point over the weekend.

    Himself's always saying I should get somebody to go out with if I'm bored. Fine. I'm not exhausting myself further by helping with load in at stupid o'clock Saturday morning, being stuck in the van for 10 hours in the cold, teching for them, pretty much doing load out with limited assistance, dealing with their stresses and strops, then loading back here at OMG o'clock the following morning, then travelling back home and then cleaning the sodding kitchen so I can have something to eat before going back to work the next morning. He can do his own donkey work with the band rather than get me doing my professional occupation for free and I'll go and chat, laugh and relax with the one male friend I have that he was always a bit jealous of.
    I could dream to wide extremes, I could do or die: I could yawn and be withdrawn and watch the world go by.
