Ian got made permanent at his work ( Read more... )

Linnea really didn't want a nappy. So she went to bed (her bed, which has the waterproof mattress) in just pjs. She did end up in mine and I was too tired to realise so it wasn't until I woke up at 5 this morning with cramps that I went, AAAAKK - no nappy! But she was dry! :D Then she went to the potty to pee three times in a row, so she definitely ( Read more... )

This week I've managed to

• Not kill Mark for being an idiot
• aquire £900 towards paying off my overdraft
• applied for a new bank account and work out a back up plan if I'm denied
• work 3 hrs overtime (not paid overtime, just accruing lieu for the next time Mark's sick)

Yesterday was a very good day

• Ian went out for fresh bagels with cream cheese and salmon ( Read more... )

Wednesday afternoon, at work, I got ill. Literally - I was fine. Then all of a sudden I felt hot and went - I know this feeling! I'm going to puke. Lovely. Left everything undone and grabbed the first taxi I could find. Got home and threw myself at the toilet ( Read more... )

It's only a fixed term contract for 6 months but it's where he wanted (ONS), with reasonable weekday working hours.

YAYAYYAYYAYAY!!!

Another rough night of coughing but all woke in good spirits. Fresh bread for breakfast with leftover salmon and lots of coffee. Lazing with new toys, mainly the noisy ones. More family jamming, me on the recorder again, Linnea on drums and Ian swapping between the whistle and the keyboard. Dropped her off at Mark's after nine, then a little bit of ( Read more... )

Nothing's gone wrong, I think it's just everyone being sick. I had cramps and a cold. And Nea and Ian were both coughing to the point of throwing up. None of us slept well and the spirit of the day was lacking.

Positives: I did 100% of the cooking and baking myself and it turned out 100% perfect, on time. It was all to Ian's fortjanst as he kept the ( Read more... )

Work was hard work this week.

Mark had a panic attack on Monday night and was worthless on Tuesday. I stayed off work and looked after him and the bums. Got a new tire for the bicycle, and new pedals.

Wednesday I worked late, which didn't dent the pile of work leftover from Tuesday. After work I met up with Mark in the glorious sunshine and we had ( Read more... )

I apologise, I would like to backtrack and acknowledge that Linnea's first word should really go down in the books as 'ta' ('tack' = thank you).

In other news, this week work has been hellish. Only two things have seen me through it, cake (Cate's bake sale for www.myeloma.org.uk/, Jess Higton's leaving lunch, stuff I brought back from Sweden, ( Read more... )

Good news! I still have a boyfriend, and a daughter. We're all back to our respective homes in one piece.

Bad news - I have 17 mosquito bites, some of which are close together and causing exponential amounts of itching. Also, I have work tomorrow and we're all back to our respective homes, rather than together.

Big news - During the last 3 days ( Read more... )
