    Morning all :wave:
    Its official...PEGS have taken over my mind!!!! Dreamt that we were all taking part in Gladiators and our task was to hang out three baskets of washing in under a minute.....all with CO-ORDINATED PEGS!!!!
    As I was hanging out this mornings washing I kept imagining that I could hear someone saying " Now you will on my first whistle..." Have I lost my mind or am I just a dedicated flylady???;)

    pigpen I just knew you would be, sheeesh! Like I said no shame at all that one!
    Beccah, maybe a quiet lay down will help, you're loosing your marbles girl!

    Thanks for being so nice, it's nice having people who care :) I don't think it's broken the lumpy bits still quite soft so it's not something sticking out (ouch remind me not to press on it again) still sore and warm, tried sleeping with it up and have used ice, every time I turned over it woke me up so have spent the morning yawning :rotfl: useless aren't I.

    Decided to avoid ladders today if possible :o , I did the main high cupboard that needed sorting yesterday. Washer load is on at the mo, got meat out for spag bol (meal planning my MACAW this week is going ok but doing it gradually, few days at a time) I'm going to make some sausage and eggs sandwiches nomnomnom and have a cuppa then make a start properly. Aswell as doing housework stuff I need to clean the groundsheets for the awning for next week as they are still caked in mud!

    Actually Summermoon I think I will join you, I can fly as I cook, see if I can straighten out the kitchen.....
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:
