It's just a bit of snow I guess.
Well the upside of him not being at work this month is he was able to take me to work, he'll be able to do it again this morning too, although that means Aryn will have to walk to school by himself in the snow - decisions, decisions.
OH my days though, I sat through so many YouTube videos yesterdays as he learned how to 'adapt' something in the motorhome, don't get me wrong I love having him here but I also love watching my crap tv more than undermount drawer slides, they're a little boring to be honest.
My day was pretty mundane, I had a meeting at the school for Aryn's care plan, I managed to get money on ParentPay as they sent me details, I'm just not sure how Aryn spends it at school!
We took at trip to B&Q to find said undermount drawer slides and a piece of wood - whoop whoop, but I did then steer him across the road to IKEA to look at sofas for the living room, we have a two seater which just about seats us and Aryn is outgrowing the chairs I used to sit on! I have to say I found something I liked but because we want to keep the existing furniture to take to Ireland, we can't just order it because of storing the furniture! Then of course there's the cost, nothing's cheap is it, I'd been looking at sale stuff which was what started me looking but the IKEA one isn't on sale so it can wait till we've got some money back in the bank I guess.
Aryn announced he had no clean trousers for school today as I was about to go to bed, so I'm no trying to dry them in the tumble dryer - new step mom to a teenage schoolboy error right there, I assumed he'd bought ALL his washing down at the weekend, not just half of it! I'll remember to ask in future.
Well it's my 53rd birthday today, as you can imagine, I've come down to a living room full of streamers, balloons and presents - NOT lol, I didn't expect to, I'll be surprised if they've even remembered but I don't really mind as there's nothing I really want other than a bathrobe and I can buy one of those myself with my Christmas money when I go shopping tomorrow if the snow goes away.
Mmm, 3 good things from yesterday,
1) Simple tea, tinned stewed steak and potatoes, thankfully the boys will eat anything and say thank you.
2) Himself driving me to work as I don't like driving in the snow at the best of times especially in a BMW that I've not driven in the snow yet.
3) Watching Aryn settle and getting good feedback from the school.
Oh there's a fourth and it's the best, FINALLY the passport for Aryn has been sorted, it's being printed as I type, not sure when we'll get it as they're saying they're not posting to UK because of postal strikes, but they're not striking this month so we might be lucky.
I so want to book us all a family holiday, nothing too extravagant, something affordable but something to look forward to later in the year probably so we can sort our finances first.
Right, I better get ready for work, sort Aryn's lunch, although I let him have a meal deal from Tesco last night so it's only taking it out fridge into tub, he's had a pasta thing. I might indulge in chippy tea tonight or let them have pizza takeaway, Domino's is half price at minute, we shall see, I do know I don't fancy cooking, it is my birthday and my pain is off the scale this week, I'm thinking it's the cold maybe making it worse, who knows.
Let's all have a positive day, regardless of the weather, I know I have a bottle of champagne from my sister, so chips and champagne sounds lush doesn't it, I'll knock her door to collect it, so she doesn't slip over in the snow :)
Mwah, luv ya
Love me xx
