Is There Anything Left...pt 3

[Not Quitting]

To be honest, TTD, I knew he wasn't going to do it yesterday as well - and the fact that he and S13 were playing nicely I wasn't going to push it. But so much for coming over two nights this week - I'd already told him tonight and Thursday are out as I'm out (S13 has Cadets tonight and I'm at a Pampered Chef party and S13 is trying out for the Cadet shooting team on Thursday) which leaves Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday. Well Friday is automatically out because it's Friday and he's always busy on Fridays. Turns out he has a meeting tomorrow night so now we're down to Wednesday. Somehow I think yet another week is going to pass and no packing is going to have been done .

As it happens, I could have let him come over tonight - S13 came home from school with a hamstring injury so isn't going to Cadets tonight. I'm not about to call H and tell him though as he'd probably expect me to go and collect him. And I'm not telling him about S13's leg either as H will just say he's being a wimp and that he needs to man up. The poor kid was in tears just hobbling from the living room to the dining room table .

H is pretty good at DIY and will paint - no wallpapering for him. The house needs some work, but as it's dad's place we were always reluctant to put too much money into it as dad will get the benefit when it eventually sells. We did paint my son's room but that was only because my son decided the wallpaper was girly (it did used to be my room when I was growing up ) and he stripped a lot of the wallpaper off (and hid it behind and under his bed). My bedroom and both bathrooms could do with having the wallpaper stripped and a fresh coat of paint being applied. The living room could also do with new carpet or hardwood floor. Actually the whole house would benefit from a fresh coat of paint, come to think of it .
