Mmmm dilema! I'm home alone with the children. My finger is twice it's size again. Do I heat a needle to disinfect in and then prod the dodgy bit of my finger myself. I really can't get to A&E with two children in bed ... do I or don't I? :rotfl:

Dont be tempted to touch it- it will keep until the morning - have you tried a cold flannel or ice pack to sooth it?

I did it through the same hole and it feels much better again. I promise I won't play with it again today!!!:rotfl:

I've eaten too much ice cream - it was therapeutic ice cream

Very brave!!! glad it feels better. So, does a therapeutic gin and tonic count? :beer: :rotfl: :rotfl:

Oh well I didn't do too well today. Started on the kitchen then my 6500 magazines turned up, so have spent the afternoon stuffing leaflets in them. Lounge now looks a complete tip.

I did manage to give the shower a good clean this morning, hoping that the bathroom was on today's job sheet, which it wasn't. Oh well it needed doing.

I cleaned the washing machine on Sunday, does that count?

Going to be very busy for the rest of the week with the magazines, so hope I'll be able to fit in some brief flying at some point.

Just remembered that I did empty the overflowing bins from the bathroom and my office so I must get some points for that too!

Well done Mudbath I'd have prodded it too!

Just spent an hour doing more insurance quotes. Brain ache now but going to carry on in the morning and finish as I only have a couple f days now to renew.

I only have pigsback not quido ect - is it worth getting one of these - I've read so much about them not paying out and OH has always had trouble with his quidco.

I went to the bank, dropped my overdraft from £4000 to £2500 I also got a card reader so I can now do more things on my on-line banking They said since I have such an excellent credit record and history if I can take in proof of income (and I'll include a budget ) they might be able to give me a consolidation loan anyway :j

Took DD to the library - She got another 12 books out :rolleyes: But she also joined a reading scheme thing they've got going (http://www.teamread.co.uk/ ) Apparently if she completes the books she'll get a pump bag and certificate. Didn't have the heart to tell the woman who suggested it that DD has already read 8 books this summer as the programme only requires her to read 6 I think :rotfl::rotfl: DD is really excited about it so I'll let her go to the website tomorrow and register on there as well

I'll consider doing tomorrow's list tomorrow. I've just equally impressed and grossed out my children at the same time. Stop reading now if you're eating your dinner. I just popped to the nurse at my practise because I know her and finger had gone very, very big. She stuck a needle thing in the nail and in the pad and the blood nearly hit the ceiling. Most impressive. I've to go back tomorrow to get it released again. DD is freaked. DS thinks i'm well cool!!! I'm just happy it doesn't hurt.

I feel for all you people with carp managers. My last manager was evil - no wonder I went self employed!! xx

Hi Mudbath, I did a similar thing a few months back by shutting my finger in the car door and it went the same as yours. I pierced mine myself, I'd had it done to me as a kid and remembered how well it works. I grossed out my OH he couldn't watch and totally refused to do it for me! It did feel great afterwards.
I did have to redo mine a few days later as it closed up and started to swell again, also half the nail dropped off (which messed up my nailvarnish for months) but could have been worse.
Hope yours isn't so bad.

SSL hope you hear about the job soon and it's good news.

I have no hot water now so kids had no bath (they were covered in sand and mud) and I can't wash up (oh dear:rolleyes:) I am not happy:mad:

what i achieved today, before having a quick read of the thread and then going to bed i think - although i do have to lay out tomorrows clothes first.


[quote/cha97michelle]
results of HHC:

• fed cats
• put one cat bowl in to soak
• washed out tin
• hung out load of white washing
• got swimming stuff from beach in WM
• quick chat to neighbour
• spoke to DH on phone
• flea treat both cats while they were in and trapped
• put reminder stickers on calendar for 4 weeks time
• put last nights washing up away

now feeding ds2 again - will try some more later


results of 2nd HHC:

• towels and swimmers pegged on line
• tin recycling out
• packed rucksack for hols with towels/sheets/flannels/baby wipes/nappy bags/swimming nappies/tea towels
• unpacked rest of worn clothes and put in laundry basket
• got out Pjs for both boys for bathtime
• bag packed for swimming with boys tomorrow

will try and do a bit more before nursery run - but i am surprisingly getting there

3rd challenge, although getting bored and too hot now:

• packed baby bag for DS2 having jabs tomorrow
• found out a load of kiddies dark washing, will set off tonight after ds1 is bathed
• washed up breakie and lunch dishes

[/quote]

• picked up ds1 from nursery
• paid bill
• chatted to friend briefly - both boys invited to a party
• drove home with ds2 screaming the whole way
• made ds1 a drink and snack
• fed ds2
• picked up all the sultanas that DS1 dropped on the floor - little star picked up the bits he could see himself
• bathed both boys
• got them in PJs
• read stories to them both for 20 mins
• DH put ds1 to bed - i fed ds2 again and put him in bed
• i got in the 2 washloads off the line, and put on spare bed for ironing
• i found a pile of DS1's jamas that DH got off the line last week - i paired and folded them, put them in his wardrobe
• sorted out bed clothes for boys for tomorrow night - will get them ready for bed at mums
• Dh fed cats
• DH made potato wedges and cooked salmon
• i made salad
• i made an angel delight to use up milk for today
• i chatted to dad on phone to remind sister to come and babysit ds1 while i take ds2 for jabs tomorrow
• MIL sent an email with food shopping list on for hols - i read through, added things to the list, and emailed back

so now, i need to sort clothes for tomorrow, i am going to set the WM off so it can be pegged out 1st thing, and DH will wash up - hopefully DS2 will sleep till 5 again. And i need to write a list for tomorrow.

Don't suppose i have made too bad a job of it today.
