Whew we collectively did loads. Had a takeaway and now going to jump in the shower to wash the week from me.:D

Joking aside for a mo, this week has been difficult in so many ways and I nearly buckled but I found a way to work through what I needed to and .....well, lets just say I've learned a lot. Little things like the ongoing support here means a lot.

Thanks......from the heart. x



Right, off for shower than a small G and T, somebody on here's fault....they mentioned it earlier.

First alcoholic drink I'll be having after the terrible case of 'the red wine incident' last friday, which I blame entirely on Pigpen as she encouraged me to drink one or two glasses.;):p


Catch up in a mo. xxx

Trust me, she'll still be able to feel the pain through that lot! The dose is right, and it will help prevent too much stiffness - but it's really important to see a physio (Flower - get your insurance company to agree to it, and your GP to recommend a local private physio who would be able to fit you in as an urgent case, even if just for assessment and a treatment plan).

Congrats on the exam result G&B!!!

Thanks Greenbee, good idea - not called insurance yet as have been out all day but may mention it to them as still feel very achy... Just about to ring them now before I sit down for the night...

BTW - are you sure that Glass top for [STRIKE]lacquer[/STRIKE] liquor cabinet (measure & order) is not a misprint???

Pigpen with all that washing I am suprised you don't have at least 3 washing machines on the go all the time

I only have 2.. or else I probably would! But they are both on 24/7 pretty much!

Try to take it easy... I was surprised, once the shock wore off, how bad I felt.

... and no, it's not a misprint... although I do keep some bottles in there

I've cleaned all the grout of the lovely new tiles in my kitchen, wiped all the surfaces, put everything back where it should be and eaten (2 corn on the cob, 3 left over defrosted brownies how's that for a balanced diet?). I definitely need to do some meal planning this week, as I'm going through a can't-be-bothered-to-eat stage, and having no food in the fridge (plenty in freezer and cupboards...) makes it easy to go along with.

I've decided to try to have an early night and see whether I end up getting up early as a result, so no more flying tonight. Plan for tomorrow - bedding in WM, air house, do a bit of gardening, declutter a bit of garage, washing on line, do meal plan, shop, bit more gardening, bit more garage, then all hoovering/mopping so at least the worst is done. Bet I still don't get it all done

Might drop in after my bath to say good night... sorry to anyone I've inadvertently ignored today/this week, hugs to those who need them, welcome to the newbies, and congrats to Cardiff for sticking with us despite Valli's VERY scary behaviour

So far today I have failed entirely to fly. In fact, I failed so bad I realised half way through today I washed the sheets yesterday and forgot to take them out of the washing machine. Black mark for me...

Tom

We do not allow the posting of the rather rude 'F' word here if you don't mind.. now you have to post a list of what you DID do...

Good evening flypeople:)

Tooti ~ thank you for your kind wishes about my Mum. She is very brave and a complete fashionista! At seventy nine she still thinks she's better than Trinny & Suzannah put together ,so getting her into town today she was totally in her zone

Haven't done the kids rooms today, but have got the uniforms washed this evening, and the washing up done. Hopefully I can do some catch up at the weekend.
