Teenagers!

Y has got the arse, and is now being deliberately annoying by randomly wandering around the house doing nothing in particular, and saying "nothing" whenever I ask what he's doing. This may be due to me adding a password to the pc, which means he can't use it unless I'm here - as a result of some stupid emails he has been sending, not to mention the fact that I get fed up of getting home at 6pm every night to find him sat glued to the computer, where he's been since getting home at 4pm - sometimes without having even got up to put the light on! He's now, very intensely, reading the failed delivery card that came through the door from parcelforce!! He's usually a great kid, but when he's horrid, he's certainly horrid! Oh, and X is having one of those "I can't sleep Mummy" evenings. Give me strength...

Had a late start to work this morning, due mainly to a lack of motivation in getting my arse there - not helped by the fact that I've got several large pieces of work to do that I just cannot get in the mood for - so after an early bath with posh shampoo and conditioner, followed by Creme de la Mer face scrub and Estee Lauder face cream, I decided to go via the Beauty Salon and get a sunbed and an eyebrow wax at the same time. All good except for the fact that she bloody scalped me!!! I now have thinner eyebrows than Barbie! I was also going to get a new tattoo, but they were closed today for some reason. Damn inconsiderate I reckon!

In house news, I have now sent my completed mortgage application off, and got the number for a recommended solicitor - so nothing to do now but wait I guess. One good piece of news is that The Broker rang this evening to check I had posted everything and mentioned that my rate may end up being lower than I've been quoted for! Something to do with being eligible for some new scheme or other - no complaints here, anything less extortionate is fine by me!
