    Hi all!!

    Well not only did I survive a day at work.....I only did a little tiny bit of ironing and a tiny bit of tidying!!!!! Wrist exercises are helping big time , the wrist is now moving, I would say ive got about 40% of movement which Im very happy about as only been doing the exercises for 2 days!!!You should see it tho, my arm looks like Ive got a second elbow trying to emerge....not the most attractive look but at least the tumour is gone!!! Quite a happy Jacci now.....Mind you, house is still messy!!!

    Hugs to all who need them...

    I got the house looking ok, for parents coming. Thursdays visitor is my very tidy and organised friend (she is a fairly new friend that I know isn't keen on her mother in laws mess) So more tidying for me......maybe I should ask them around more often. I'm sure I work better when I have a deadline and a routine.....and maybe one day I'll get round to cleaning/clearing the rooms, cupboards and drawers that visitors don't see!
    I love MSE freebies and comps. Thanks posters

    Afternoon messies.

    I'm so glad you had a good day yesterday, kitty, and managed a big clear-out. Not the way most people celebrate their birthdays but, as it made you feel better, then it was a prezzie to yourself! :T Have a great evening, but make sure you can remember your way home, won't you? ;) Btw, well done for dyeing your hair without dyeing anything else - a major accomplishment in itself I always feel. :)

    It's lovely to hear that your wrist is coming on a treat, jacci. You're on your way now! :T

    Wife, well done for the de-messying. As you say, I'm sure some sort of deadline helps. Although I tend to get into a de-messying mood occasionally, there's nothing like family coming to stay to make me clear and clean - not that our DDs care, except that our house is very small. don't want anyone falling over something.

    Yesterday, I managed to complete a number of things on my list - made some bread, did a major clean of the kitchen sink (it's textured and a horror to clean), tidied up my wardrobe, sorted out some recycling, did some admin (phone call, emails and paperwork), and made a start on a March newsletter. Quite pleased with myself.

    When I dye my hair it's like an explosion in a dye factory:o

    Having second thoughts about even going to parents' night - I know, bad mum:o - but I find I get all the info I need from the report card - DD1 didn't even make me appointments when she was at secondary - and honestly I just don't feel up to it :(

    Glad you're feeling better jacci :j x

    Kitty that's an insane amount of decluttering:T enjoy the pub, don't know when I'll next be out - I find the more I go out, the more I want to :(

    wife and bearcub - well done:T

    jokeyjo - never mind, much more important to spend time with DD :)

    Nothing to report. Except my new addiction to buying make up I can't afford. I need to STOOOOOOP!!! :( Need to do a bit before washing machine men come tomorrow, also bringing furniture for DDs room which will have to stay in the hall until she's decluttered.

    Happy birthday kitty!

    I've been poking around in the garden today, and created some mess there too :o but have:

    Planted two cherry trees
    Planted a houseplant chrysanthemum that survived the winter outside
    Planted a rose that I bought last year
    Pruned the buddleias
    Pruned the clematis at the front
    Put up a cheapy garden arch against a fence for a yellow clematis and some roses to scramble over.

    That's quite enough for one day!
    I believe in the freedom of spinach and the right to arm bears.

    I don't blame you for not wanting to go, Cat and, given that you're a bit 'frail' atm, the last thing you want to do is lose your cool, if someone's a bit lacking in sensitivity. If there's someone who particularly want to see you, I'm sure they'll let you know. But, having worked in a secondary school myself, you will let the school know if you're not going, won't you? Nothing worse than sitting around waiting for a parent that doesn't turn up. I was support staff, btw, not a teacher.

    jps, I suspect the gardening's worn you out, but made you feel so good mentally. Well done! :T
