jelley hello. Hi to everyone else. I have been really really busy this week adn as a consequence the house looks like a bomb has hit it. I onyl have one meeting today though and the gym so the rest of my time will be spent on some extensive tidying and cleaning.

shouldbe · 18/05/2007 07:52

Morning Jelley - sorry you had a bad night with ds, have a good morning out
glitter good luck with catching up around the house
Hello everyone else

I was going to continue with my paperwork nightmare but we have the PIL calling in over the weekend so I'm going to do a catch up of all the other jobs that I've been neglecting over the past couple of days. It may not take too long so I'm half hoping to have time to sort through a small cupboard we have in the hall (more papers stuffed in there) Might call back with a list once the kids are at school. Dd is still asleep at the moment despite a 7.30pm bedtime last night hope she's not poorly, it's school disco night tonight...

Morning all

DH is fine. Some tosser in a 4x4 broke down at a right turn junction and stayed there eating sandwiches (rather than moving to side of road). DH needed to turn right but had to go to the left of the 4x4 to do so. He turned right but had not seen an oncoming car as his view was so obstructed. It means it was techinically DHs fault. Fortunately he's ok. 4x4 driver then stayed in his care and finished his sandwhich. Didn't offer to help or anything.

promise to catch up on housework later.

SimplySparkling · 18/05/2007 08:56

Oh GlassSlipper that must be so annoying for your dh. Perhaps it won't be classed as his fault as the 4x4 was obstructing the road? Did the police come? I hope the insurance company decide in your favour. I'm very pleased that your dh is okay.

Thanks for the thread Jelley. I depend on it for motivation.
