Quite happy right now, as finally got our broadband upgraded to unlimited, and have put YouTube on the wii so we can watch it on the tv. DH has set me up with an evening of the Sisters of Mercy just worried this may mean a day of The Cure for him.

Evening all.

Quite a nice day here as had a visit from friends we hadn't seen for far too long this afternoon. Sudden panic about the state of the house this morning, but actually it wasn't nearly as bad as I thought - maybe this flying lark is paying off after all.

Just - more ((hugs)) and glad you're now getting treatment.

Thank you Toffee and eek! On the slug. I am a animal/creature lover but even I would not like to touch one. Though I did eat one as dare when I was a kid.

Good luck with your list, pushme.

Yeugh to eating a slug, Merry! I bet that comes back to haunt you in your nightmares! I know someone who ate a slug by mistake once (it was on a salad leaf). She said she couldn't get the slime off her tongue for ages. (Apologies to those of you just having breakfast ).

We are not inviting MIL round to lunch today because we want a quiet family day and it's hard work having her here, frankly. But I feel horribly guilty now. DH says he'll visit her with DS2 this afternoon, but I know she likes to come here. Trouble is, it takes up our whole day and I have loads to do and DH still isn't feeling too good (going to doc tomorrow for blood tests).

to do

sort kitchen (we also didn't clear up last night, pushme)
put washing on
ironing
get dressed to socks/slippers
grab torch and venture into the loft to continue search for DS1's ed psych report
put small beef joint in oven
family lunch - roast parsnips, potatoes, kale, carrots, Yorkshire pud, mini sausages and gravy with mini roast
tidy and hoover DS1's bedroom
finish statement application and compile documents
evening routine
watch 'Breaking Bad' - oh my, we are obsessed with this now!

I was only 5 and the 8 yo said I could not play with them unless I did. It was a life lesson!! Don't try to impress others, especially when they aren't worth impressing.

Sigh.
I have a new steam cleaner. Mopped the floor. great.
Scalded my ring finger whrn trying to clean taps. ooooowwwww currently have a blister the size of a penny and a finger which is throbbing and numb in equal parts

((hugs)) to the five-year-old Merry. That was a mean thing for another child to do .

Ow, that sounds painful, Eustacia. Have you run it under cold water for 10 minutes?

DH took DS2 round to see MIL whilst he went to work and they had a very happy time together. Phew. Am off the hook now.

ta-da!

Plodding very slowly through all DS's old reports to support the SA application. There's such a lot of it, it's hard work and rather depressing.

Other than that, not a lot. DS and DH have been out ice skating. They are sitting watching Despicable Me 2 (again) with DD in the other room. House is a mess. Never mind.

WhoKnows - I'm about to start work on the SA application too. Hadn't thought about including bits from school reports - that's a good idea. Feel constantly on edge about the whole thing at the moment.

Lunch finished. DH and I polished ours off and went back for seconds; DC ate minute amounts, as usual. It's so discouraging. Never mind, we all had a chatty time at the table, with lots of laughter, so at least I can tick the 'relaxed mealtime' box.

DH has done the washing up .

Time to go back into the loft

It's not just his school reports Toffee - I haven't got to those yet, and to be honest, they always try to put a positive spin on those so might not be much use. So far I've done OT, SALT, Ed.Psych, Childrens' centre and my own notes and recollections. Got to go through >7 years worth of IEPs and school stuff next

Oh, sorry, I misunderstood, WhoKnows. I think 'school reports' were in my head because I found Toby's primary school reports yesterday and some of those do mention issues he has. However, you are right about the school putting a positive spin on things.

Best of luck with the paperwork.

Really am going into the loft now. I see I was saying that 25 minutes ago .
