Evenin' all
Mixed week here. Ds2 was discharged from the paediatric opthamology department at the hospital, which is he's been under since he was 3 (he's nearly 8 now). So that was a high point.
Ds1 had his first appointment in the asthma clinic, for them to tell us that they can't assess him until the new year because his chest still hasn't fully recovered from his chest infection.
Both sisters have had seriously bad news and are in need of support and Mum is going to pieces worrying about both of them, whilst also imagining all sorts of horrible scenarios about my neuro appointment.
Discovered the LA has changed the form since I started putting my evidence for SA together, so am having to rejig, retype and generally muck about with it, just when I thought it was finally finished. 
I have spent half the evening upside down under the sink dismantling the plumbing. Cleaned it all out, reassembled it and discovered it still didn't drain. Dh came home, repeated what I'd already done (
because of course a woman couldn't possibly have done it right ) then came to the same conclusion as I did, that its the exit pipe that's blocked and it needs dismantling from outside. Also, when he put the under-sink pipes back together they leaked like a sieve - unlike when I did it and they didn't leak at all! Aaargh!
This of course happened after I spent the whole day giving the kitchen a thorough spring/christmas clean, including cleaning out all the cupboards. I can hear the gremlins rolling around laughing at me from here.
So, the dcs are about to have a very late tin of soup for their tea, while I hide in here and MN, as the kitchen is now an unhygienic disaster area.
But hey, I am only half a pound of hitting my Christmas weight target, the Christmas tree is up and twinkling in the corner and we have absolutely no plans for the weekend. So its not all doom and gloom.
