Good morning
Kay, echoing everyone really, really sorry it hasn't worked out, it's such a shame for you all.
Ast, ignore what the MW thinks, trust your instincts, if you're happy to wait till Wednesday then fine, if you want it checking before, then get it done. I know the thought of the HWB going out of the window has a big bearing on this but the last thing you want is a MW turning up to you at home and sending you in to hospital. Take it easy - that's an order!
Sorry to all of you with various poorlies We've got it this end as well, DH has another cold, DS2 is still absolutely full of it, his eyes are no better, they are completely stuck when he wakes up, coughing like he's on 80 a day, the AB's and eye drops don't seem to be making a jot of difference, poor little thing, he is coping with it so well as well.
Shopping was a bit hit and miss, I couldn't find a coat, but managed some shoes (even that was a bit of a hard task!) Got most of Mikey's 3-6 month clothes, and one t-shirt for DS1, one t-shirt in the whole of the sodding Trafford Centre Trafford Centre was absolutely packed (credit crunch???? Not in Manchester it seems!) People mulling around chatting, it taking 5 minutes to get to a shop 6ft away grrrrr, I don't do busy!
DH took DS2 and 3 to his mums while DS1 and I were there, it seems she is undergoing some tests to find out if she has bowel cancer so that is hanging over his head.
We had more snow come down yesterday, when is it going to stop? It is so slippy out there.
And finally, we have Hotpoint coming out to the washer/dryer - bastarding thing, it's not washing our clothes very well, they smell clean and fresh but they are all covered in bit of fluff and hair and the drying side of things are just a nightmare, it literally bakes the creases into clothes, even my new iron can't get them out, it's wrecking the clothes, I've already had to buy one new lot of uniform for DS1 because the creases were just awful, and I know it's not the iron because the things that won't go in the dryer and so dry on the radiators iron beautifully. We've rang the place we got it from, they say they need to get Hotpoint out to make sure there isn't a fault with the machine (there isn't, it's just shite) so a total waste of time, luckily we used the credit card so if the shop won't give us our money back for it, then I should be able to claw it back through HSBC. Just another PITA we could do without at the moment!
And that is the end of my whinging! God, I bet you've all had your babies in the time it's taken me to moan!
