This is boring now.

The children are full of energy and I feel like someone has wrung me out. Not ill precisely, nothing that a nice long nap wouldn’t sort out, but how do you do that?

And I have a problem. I’ve just received another sack of books, that I have no recollection of ordering.

Right, it’s time to sort this out. I’m going to go get dressed – right after I catch my breath from wiping myself out carrying the books through to the place that said on the plans was a dining room! Then I think I’ll find the children some lunch, parcel up some stuff to send to ppl and do some work while designing a bookshop.

Oh, and to round off the morning nicely, I’ve just had *another* letter from the tax credits ppl threatening to do something bizarre with my tax credits. I’m getting tired of this. Anyone feel like a letter writing campaign? I’ve called them again, and apparently writing to them and ringing them is utterly pointless, they take no notice of anything you tell them unless they feel like it. So that’s good then.

However, the good news is from the other phone call session of the morning, that despite HSBC having no record of the all important form, it has reached the office it needed to, and the process of dealing with it is well underway. Phew.

  2. Shurely shome mistake? That should be:
    “[…] more of a slow building.
