  • Hmph, still up after my 4 hour 'nap' yesterday evening.

    I FINALLY get my results today (woohoo!!)

    Rebleached the bath, hopefully I'll be able to get most of the mould off. Though I apparently have the plumber coming this week or next, so I might ask him nicely to reseal it... hmmm.

    Thursday ~ Master Bedroom & Landing
    Level One
    Strip the bedding and wash it
    Turn and vacuum (if needed) the mattress.. then remake the bed.. don't leave it while bedtime!!! haha this'll be fun, never not left it till bedtime in my life. Am cursing once a week at 11pm : )
    Level Two
    Declutter the floors
    Sort through a box of junk from either of these places
    Put away the floordrobe

    Ooh, today'll be fun. My bedroom looks like something from Kim and Aggie, without the dirt, just the clutter! My wardrobe is in pieces waiting to be built again from when we moved in (a year ago)...DH doesn't know which pieces belong where any more. Am going to transfer floordrobe to piles and try to make a decision on trying to rebuild the wardrobe or get hold of a new one!

    Also got to do dailies, plus some catching up from earlier in the week:

    * 3 loads laundry
    * tidy downstairs and up
    * swish and swipe bathroom
    * 20 minutes in garden
    * paperwork etc
    * hoover and mop downstairs
    * get some rubbish out of the car
    * write down spending
  • Going to start on my proper flying today. :D

    First things first - anyone know how quickly a sleeping bag dries naturally? It's what I've got at the moment and it had been used a few times before I brought it here (and it's had my stinky feet in ;) )

    aj I expect you are feeling down because you are tired, stressed and its not going the way you had planned - this has been something you didnt expect to happen and the prospect of not having your Mum and maybe your Dad there is in your mind - try to be positive honey - the important thing is that the wedding will go ahead and you have alternative arrangements in place. keep the chin up (((hugs)))
    As ever I can't improve on toots wise words - sending you hugs and strength vibes aj.

    Fingers crossed for your results Frittered Away

    pigpen -
    disembowelling will only make a mess - but he does seem to be being more than usually 'blokeish' at the moment - is he trying to detach himself from what is happening?

    Morning!

    Thank so much for your words of reassurance yesterday. :o I phoned the nursery and they said she settled down pretty quickly after i left. Then i picked her up early and stood watching her for a bit. She was smiling and laughing and running about with the other kids. Thank goodness!! DH still brought up maybe taking her out though... He thinks it's tough on her only going one day a week - like the other kids will have firm friends as they go more often, and she only sees them once a week so it will be harder for her to make friends. I don't know. I want to keep her place open in case by some miracle i can go back to work.

    Anyhoo, i am at a friends house for coffee this morning so not sure how much flying will be done. I will definitely do the bathroom today. Since DH is home i will tell him that i will do the bathroom and then have a wee soak in the bath with my magazine afterwards or my HH on myself. Hopefully the promise of a soak in a nice clean tub will spark my motivation. :D

    I also want to finish my toots list so i can give myself a cute little jumping smiley for that day. :)

    Piggers, your OH sounds like he's being an anus hole. I have no wie words, but agree that disembowelling could be messy and you'd only have to clean it up. Maybe a pillow in the face?

    AJ, sending many hugs your way sweets. I couldn't imagine NOT feeling stressed and sad in your position. xx

    Wow what a list, didn't manage anything yesterday as DS had the hospital 30 miles away so we had to get 4 buses and after leaving our village at 9.05 we didn't get home until 3.15! By that time I felt sick so DH came home and did loads! Dinner, his lunch for 3 days, kids lunch for today and possibly tomorrow and started tonights dinner in the SC :) I now just need to get some dough made in the BM and make some nice rolls :)

    Happy FLYing all x
