    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.

    Morning all,
    Hope everyone is well.
    My back is blooming sore :confused: so today won't be doing too much. As it is I did the upstairs bathroom yesterday and have just quickly done the downstairs loo and PC area this morning (after seeing the list for today), so most of it can be scored through :). I won't bother to wash the shower curtain as it still smells lovely from last time ;). Back is too sore (making me sooooo tired) for any extra missions today.
    So here is my list.
    Happy flying everyone and hugs to anyone who needs them.
    xx

    Own list
    - get nets for living room (measure windows)
    - see if I can get hold of any winter potatoes to plant
    - make new home card for FIL
    - [strike]check e-mails[/strike]
    - do surveys
    - feed cat
    - sort out recipe books- do a bit at a time
    - put dry washing and nappies away
    - maybe bake some muffins depending on energy levels
    - do back exercises

    Thursday Thrills- Bathroom and Study/Pc Area
    Level 1, 2- done
    Level 3- partly done yesterday and rest done (shower curtain not needing done!)
    Extra mission: Take your pick! Back too sore.


    Wednesday wishy-washy-wipe!- Master Bedroom & Landing
    Level 1- 2/3rd done (that’s all that needs done)
    Level 2 and 3- ½ done (that’s all that needed done too).


    Tuesday Terrors - Kitchen and Dining Room
    Level 1, 2, 3- done
    Extra Mission : help yourself – choosing option 1- done


    Monday Mucking out - Living Room, Hall and Stairs
    Level 1- done
    Level 2- done except 1 thing
    Level 3- partly done

    Hi

    Present cupboard done and i can safely say i do not need to buy Ds2 any more books for Xmas. :o I've saved the list as PASTA to stop the kids peeking so if i forget can someone remind me.:rolleyes:

    I'm going to take Ds2 down for a snack and then i think i'll crack on with the bathroom, i might put some washing out if the sun stays out for more than 10 mins.

    Morning everyone.

    Well today is catch up day for me. So will start with the kitchen and dailies.

    Going to see mum later this morning then do my meeting and greeting.

    Froddington. Thinking of you and you dad. Sending positive healing thoughts for him.

    Soppie/ greenbee I have found that staying calm helps the clients stay calm usually. But we have had probs with a lady for nearly a year. Lots of self harm, biting and lots of other behaviours.

    Wasnt hit hard but has happened several times this week. Have a few scars from years of this work lol.

    Denisefowler Well done your DS. You must be a very proud mum.


    AnWsMum Happy birthday to your mum.

    My son was 6lb 3 at birth and now ways 10lb 11 at 16weeks.
    Did he drop much in the couple of weeks after birth? If he did he obviously needs to regain that weight before he can make any actual gain. Which line is he on for length - ie is he proportioned?
