Sodding bad morning, sodding worse afternoon.... Sod it!
To avoid everyone's eyes glazing over while reading this I'll try to summarize.
OK so this is how my morning has gone.
1) School transport call: no wheelchair access cars this morning for some reason, I need to send Cam with a car seat. I call the school, all is ok for lifting him the other end, but after numerous calls I'm falling behind on the school run.
2) School transport arrive an hour late and at the time I need to be running out the door for the Harvey and Charlie school run. I shove the seat in the back of the car and run to get Cam... Charlie runs up the road.
3) I return with Cam to realise Charlie ran up the road and is waiting right at the main road. Stupidly I ask (aka scream at) Harvey to go and get her which he does, but as he grabs her she pulls away, almost bungee-ing herself into the road. I shove Cam haphazardly in the car and sprint up after them. My hair looks bad.
4) After a huge fuffle, Cam goes off, I dash up to the school as quickly as I can, we arrive oh so just in time. My hair looks worse.
5) I've not only forgotten Harvey's water, I've managed to walk back out of his classroom with his apple. Charlie is grateful for the snack for the walk home and back to the school with Harvey's water and new apple.
6) Get home, ready for a cuppa. Workmen turn up to put a hoist in for Cam. I'd forgotten they were coming and hadn't tidied or fixed my bedraggled hair.
7) Electrician notices the electric works done by the contractors who did the bathroom is awful. Nothing complies to regulations. They made the system safe, the contractors who did the work will have to pay so that's not too bad.
8) Hoist guy goes into the loft and notices our roof is leaking. It looks as though it's going to cost us a kidney each.
9) The safety reading thing on our electrics shows at 85 when it should be 1.6. It's not the works done, that's just our old electrics. We need a new fuse box, we need to also sort this electrical problem. Just the fuse box will cost us about £350 upwards, the rest I've no idea. If we're out of organs to sell, we may have to sell one or two of the kids to pay for it.
10) I'm wondering if I should have worn a hat; workmen appear to have noticed my bedraggled hair.
11) I burnt my toast while posting; it tastes of carbon.
Ah sod!
