Toottifrooti Ive been thinking about one of my friends for a while. Its a very one sided thing I support her but nothing comes the other way. I dont know whether its a saying but I know I read it somewhere. That we should let go of people who drain us and try to be around people who lift us. I only learned a few years ago how to say no to people. I never wanted to hurt anyones feelings.

Thats an excellent 'saying' boddy and and its so true - the 'wrong' sort of people do drain us - I will try to keep that in my head - I am like you I dont like to hurt other peolpe's feelings so I always so yes instead of NO!!

Ok my HHC was a bit of a flop as I was only going for 10mins when a cousin phones who I havent spoken to for months so that was 25 mins gone!!
never mind they got some things off their chest about the family problems they are having so I think that helped.

I managed to empty and fill the DW and its on.
cleared one part of the worksurface ready to clean
reorganised my pot cupboard so I can get my new soup pot in.
cleaned inside the microwave.

No i got up at 7.40 which is good for me:o I think it's making a difference that my 3 step children are at their Mum's. They don't live here but eat and shower here. So i have less mess to clean up. My bathroom i S & S'd yesterday was still the same this morning because i bathed Ds2 last night not OH who makes more mess than the kids. So when i cleaned the bathroom i didn't have a load of mess to clear up first.

Hi everyone.
I haven't read any of the thread, it is too long already but :grouphug: to all. I managed to catch up with all my jobs yesterday as DS was still feeling a bit delicate so he was quite happy to watch tv and read whilst I got on. Have cleaned the study and downstairs loo today so that just leaves a list as long as my arm that I want to get done this week.
My list:eek: :
Sort out bank account
Sort out clubcard deals
Work out what school uniform I need to buy
Sort out new school shoes
Sort DD wardrobe out and make a list of what clothes she needs
Sort DS wardrobe out and make a list of what clothes he needs
Mow lawn
Do a couple of scrapbook pages
Tax return
Clean the windows
Wash car
Right I'd better crack on - have a good day everyone.

I have a doctors appointment this afternoon and DD can't make up her mind as to whether she is going to mums or coming with me :mad: She's driving me MAD:mad::mad: I still need to have a bath and wash my hair before I go anywhere

1 wash load in, another 2 needing to go in, but not until I've bathed so all the washing can go in :rolleyes: I'll leave any major flying until I get back, I don't need high blood pressure!

Just got a letter from the CSA - as of the 27th October the way child maintenance is paid is changing, as is the amount I can keep :j:j That might make things easier.

Right, I need to go and get bathed :wave:

She can come with me, I've told her that already. She's just in a horrible mood and complains about everything ATM :mad: Besides which my mum's is kind of in the opposite direction anyway. Just habit to have her babysit for me :rotfl:

Bath time.... :wave:
