  • Hi all

    Thanks for the list pigpen, another week for me.
    For some strange reason flying always goes better at the start of the week, when I'm at work than it does when if at home with LO's at the end of the week, going to try and do extra jobs in other rooms at the start of the week. Hope you all had good weekends.

    evening all

    Thanks for all the good wishes - I feel more stiff as the day goes on, few carpet burns (on my arm mainly) and I've got massive bruises on my hip and bum and I've pulled my shoulder, can't lift my arm above my head and all around my breast hurts - probably from trying to stop myself on the way down. BUT it could be much worse, will def be more careful on our stairs in the future - they're v v steep and shallow treads.

    Had some sad news today, or rather my sister did (she has been here this weekend), one of her long term patients (she's a nurse on an adult disabled unit) had a massive heart attack and his pacemaker failed so they will be switching off the machine tomorrow :( he's under 30 so its very very sad

    Lil_me special hugs for you hun
    Mudbath where are you, missing you and you AnW'sMum

    Ironing finished for another week.

    I'll do my list tomorrow as I can't be bothered now, my neck and shoulders are really stiff.

    Busy week here, sports day and school trip for DS3 which I'm helping at both. Also a couple of coffees arranged.

    I need to go to town tomorrow morning and friend coming in the afternoon. She is returning her dog to the breeder tomorrow. They have had her just over a year and have sadly found she has too big an effect on their lives, they are very social and she jumps up and chases friends children. Part of me thinks how brave to make such a decision but I couldn't do it, one of her children is very upset by the whole thing. Not sure what I can say to her really.

    Right time to put washing on and head up to bed. Sleep tight ladies, rest your wings, polish your hallos ready for flying tomorrow.

    Thanks for the hugs, he's in a huff about something else now, I probably picked a bad time to talk about it given his touchy mood. I am in, for what it's worth this week with manic studying, end of term stuff, meet up for DS2 with his old friend, appointments, child being off mid week then finish Friday and all the rest of the poo!

    rach, sending healing vibes for you (and a big be more careful in future prod!) and a special big hug for your sister, such sad news, really makes you think about how short life is.

    Tomorrow is important meeting day, with lunch so won't be about much, have a lovely Monday and I'll hopefully get chance to pop in while trying to finish my assignment, I'm going to do another half an hour ish then bed after I have done packups and dogs stuff, oh must feed Sonic too his little nose is snuffling at me. Toodles x
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:
