    Mudbath - fab service by your GPs to drop by, glad you've pulled your finger out and stopped pretending to be ill!

    :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: I'm still feeling knackered but I do actually feel better for getting my house sorted and doing something. I so need to sleep but I've still got the cat to take to the vet. Mind you, I could be knackered because i'm still walking 2 hours a day. Keep up with the pilartes - I try to do about five or ten minutes a day and it seems to help!

    Off to do my half hour of anything - well pigpen told me too! xx

    :rotfl: that made me laugh too :D

    Online shopping delivered and put away by teenie, he also did the kitchen and made me a chicken salad sarnie, I've been watching the news and generally lolling about.

    johanne you've been on my mind - hope you're feeling ok, as much as you can do when these things happen x

    Afternoon ladies and gent!

    Hope you are all well and happy - I am a bit down today. Have been researching a therapist to help me and the Dr has been great but the perfect (so it seems) woman for me has just left the national health and gone private so is out of my reach.:cry:

    Nurse came to take some blood yesterday and my damned veins went into hiding, so after trying both arms and the back of my left hand, she finally managed to find one on my right hand - and may I just say that needles into the back of hands hurts like hell! (I am such a wuss!)

    Daily list:
    spray bathroom with bleach spray - OH
    Feed the cat at least twicecat.gif - Oh will have to do this today
    Sort and reply to emails
    Complete an hours click thrus
    Do pending surveys
    Do an hour of SLP


    Extras
    Order trousers
    Ring Zoe
    complete tescos order
    file 10 peices of paperwork
    water house plants - OH
    bake hobnobs
    check batteries in smoke alarm - OH - Had to buy a new smoke alarm which the OH is fixing to the ceiling as we speak.


    Knees still in a state - though they are better than they were. But it means the only flyladying I can do really do is computer stuff. It's like flyladying for my OH at the moment...:rotfl: :rotfl:
    So my OH has filled the washing machine twice today and hoovered round and is now continuing to empty the junk room. (once he has put the new smoke alarm up, of course!)

    *Hugs* to all and hope you all have a good day flying!

    Right.. that is the boys large christmas present sorted.. I got them a wii too.. child benefit day yesterday! I got DS1 a new mobile as well.. an entire £25.. and he'll make do! I got a couple of games etc to go with it.. I want to get them guitar hero or something next week when I've a bit more cash.

    I just have to find a large present for DD2 (11) and DS1 (17) now.... I need to make 2 or 3 more payments this month but they can wait until Wednesday... but any help is welcome.. oh no.. I decided DD2 is getting a new DS seeing as the boys broke hers.. so just DS1..

    Then I need to purchase a mountain of books and some stocking fillers for everyone then I can start on the extended family males (stepdad and sisters OH)

    I got the 3 little ones a pair of fake uggs each.. £15 but they grow that fast!!

    Tiddles has insoles for her shoes now and has to have her middle toes strapped to try to encourage them to grow straight.. and she went hysterical because she does not want them strapping up.. and I can't get out of her why.. she was just being weird I think!! But if she doesn't get them straighter (she walks all over them at the moment) they will want to operate on them when she is older.... one of you must have experience of this... HELP!..

  • Oh Diva poor you, you do sound down sweetie. I'm not surprised though. If I remember rightly you were hoping to be a lot better by now weren't you. I guess sometimes we just have to go with it a bit, rather than battling it IYSWIM. You sound like you could do with a treat or something nice to look forward to maybe??
    Hope you start to feel brighter soon angel.
    ((((hugs))))

    Hello, flying visit as such, not got time to read through at the minute because DS2 gets 'invested' at Beavers tonight, will read up after that and see what you have been up to all day.

    Meeting went very well. Lovely day of just getting away from it all and focusing on something else. Made myself empty DW, WM and restart them both once refilled when I got back, then made kids tea, times going so fast at the minute, don't know where the days go. http://www.barcelo-hotels.co.uk/images/me-gallery/30651/fullsize/meetings2.jpg that was our room for the day, fabulous it was.

    Back after 7pm ish, when I will catch up with your busy days.
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    lil_me Hope the invested (not sure of the plural :D ) goes well, bet he's looking forward to it.

    ((((((((((Diva)))))))))))

    pigpen Maybe you could just buy clothes/trainers for DS1? or just cash? :confused: that's all my teenies interested in, but not this year, this year he wants a lizard :D

    I've still not moved since the last time I posted - you tube is on full blast - I must be feeling better :D Still not doing any work though - I'm not that better.
