Thank you for the warm welcomes.
Sounds like you're having a rough time mammy.I hope things settled quickly. DP and I were both in a mood yesterday, maybe there's something in the air. At least he's aware something was up. Poor kids too, and a burial too boot. Make sure you get some 'me-time'.
We're both dreading the car insurance renewals, which are coming up quickly. We've always paid in one go, but might have to pay monthly instalments this year. I'm eligible for free car tax because of my new disability status, but totally forgot I set mine up on a direct debit last year. I've got a form to print off, fill in and post and hoping I can get the majority of that back. Always nice when you can get insurance cheaper Brighter and a meerkat to boot! You can often get a bit for them on eBay if they're not your thing.
I wasn't too keen on the name Felix... too 'catty' but I did work with a boy named Felix and he was lovely, proper little gentleman, super clever, not a bad thing to say about him. He changed the name for me. I'm with you Snuggly working with kids is great, but you get through so many names that were nice but now can't be used.
Cagliostro if nothing else it teaches us to be more resilient and keep trying. Or be miserable and sit and eat crap all day. I'll let you decide which I do most of! I'm improving though, and hoping to get back to full time work eventually (says the woman who can't leave the house on her own).
I made DP a packed lunch last night whilst warming up leftover stew (which I dislike more every time I make it, but it's super cheap and filling). He seemed pleased enough with it even though I had to remind him to take it out of the fridge this morning. Hope he eats it. He's said he's fine taking stuff, as long as he doesn't have to heat it up. So wants a thermos. Now wants two so he can take porridge premade for breakfast instead of ordering a butty from the van in a morning, and take soup/stew/whatever for dinner. How is he so bloody skinny! The bastard! But they are £20 each for a medium size on Amazon. Are they really that good?
I broke my hand blender last week, really need to get another one. The blade came away a bit from the plastic bit and the liquid was getting it, and back out. Yuck!
On the plus side I knocked one of my handbags of the coat rack yesterday (lost my balance in a pain induced dizzy spell) and heard coins as it hit the floor. Managed to pick it up and check it this morning, found £50!!
More left over stew for tea, and found some potatoes in the back of the cupboard but can't quite reach in to get them. Will get DH to pull them out when he gets home, hopefully they will be okay and I can make mash tomorrow to go with some fish in sauce in the freezer.
