    Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! *sob*

    Just putting the bolognase sauce into freezer bags, did one alright but the second one I was putting a bit more in...the bottom of the bag split :( :mad:

    So I now have sauce all over the hob and I'm not impressed, especially as there's so much it's not going to be a nice easy clean up job. Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgggggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
    Fluttering about an inch off the ground, I may fly properly one day and soar in the clouds!

    I have deleted the rest of the Living Room list as there's no way I can get to do any of it until more hotspots are cleared :o But... the mess is in manageable piles that I can now tackle one at a time :p I must be ruthless and chuck stuff that I really don't need!!

    Right, I'm off to wash my hair now cos, with any luck, it'll then dry before bedtime! Then I may just do HHI before making dinner.

    ooh, a blank canvas then Tag! Waiting to see what you choose to do? Mr H responds well to bribes - equally responsive to edible, alcoholic, tools and physical reward :love: .

    Tonight I am going to use my new found technical drawing skills and do a layout for the rooms so we know what we need to buy. Also need to measure the low and narrow original doorway (c65cm wide I think) to make sure I buy a shallow enough bath to get in without hassle, or we will be lifting the floorboards again.

    I have just finished clearing up the construction mess and am having a well earned cup of coffee before I start the TD, DW and WM off again.

    Triker - my hens are now officially moulting, so no eggs for a few weeks! I had to buy some from the co-op last night or I could not deliver cooked breakfast bribe :eek: .

    Sarah shattered - hugs for you, take it easy.

    Sarah - huge hugs - you're really going through it all at the moment, aren't you?

    I think you deserve a big :T for achieving as much of your list as you have!

    Well hair is now washed and face exfoliated :p Going to do my Christmas card list now ....

    Am going to have a real go at things now. DH has left to take his son some money so I am going to see how much I can achieve in the 40 mins he is gone for
    We don't need to do it perfectly - good enough is exactly that GOOD ENOUGH.

    Hugs SarahS - starve yourself so you get over it quickly

    DD just popped by with a copy of the News of the World under her arm (not a newspaper I read) so I promptly ripped out the £5.00 of a £30.00 spend in Tesco voucher as she said she wouldn't use it :D

    Just prepping my bag for my new office tomorrow then will see about peeling the spuds.

    Aww SarahS - Look on the bright side. There can't be much more you can catch.:o

    Gets you down though I know. In the first 12 months after having DD I caught every cold, bug, germ you name it I got it. And, I had food poisoning too for 3 weeks. Got to the point where I'd convinced myself I had some awful underlying illness.:o

    I was just so run down after having DD, plus I had alot of stress to deal with in other areas as well, my immune system was what appeared to be, non exsistent.

    You need to rest up as much as you can. And give your body a chance to get back to normal. All very boring and easier said than done I know, but you need rest and lots of it.
