Diet has started here again and so far so good! Bought myself a calculator last night as after several weeks I still haven't found my old one :rolleyes: However this one counts your points and stuff which is handy.

Thats great gryfon - good luck and shout if we can help!

embb - what a fantastic list!
oooooooooooooh johanne - poor wee pumpkin - totally puggled!!! I hope you get the neighbour to help with the masonry and it doesnt cost an arm and a leg! It would be good for you both for pumpkin to have her own room. Sounds like a bargain with the coat!
poohbear sorry to hear you are under the weather but what a lovely DD to be helping out - hope you feel better soon
Orkneystar you are very naughty to be doing so much with your back - you will get a low flying fluffy mule whizzing past your ear if you are not careful - dont do it again!!!!! hope it gets easier with some rest.
kazw - hope you feel better soon - be kind to youself!

carol honey have a huge ((((hug)))) for starters - it looks like it has all got on top of you - take a step back and focus on one thing at a time - the driving test can be done again when you feel like it - no big deal - there are loads of us , me included, who had to sit it again - the bowel cancer is a bigger worry to you both and maybe you should speak to your GP about it and he can arrange for a test and put your mind at ease - it is easy for us all to say but try not to worry - you will only make yourself worse and although some of the examinations are unpleasant to think about they are not sore and anything found can be dealt with very quickly and successfully - treatment and outcomes of bowl cancer has moved on a lot.
The other uni ladies will be able to give you better advice than me but speak to your tutors before it gets worse - are you not enjoying your course or is it just the volume of work?
I cant help you with OH but it sounds like you need to sit down and talk to him about how you feel and see what he feels/thinks. Remeber we are always here to rant at and it does help to get things off your chest. Dont stress about the house - baby steps on a regular basis will achieve wonders and try to get OH roped in to do his share. xx

have not been on fly lady post before but was passing through and saw some hugs going around and feel in desperate need of some. my husband walked out 3 weeks ago tomorrow, the day after i had a nasty accident with a bus while in my wheelchair and ended up in hospital for 3 nights, he didnt even call or come and see me. my kids are all but grown up only youngest at home now he is 17 and being a real trooper. i have been trying to put brave face on but crying myself too sleep every night. he wont answer any of my calls or texts since leaving and although am trying to get used to him not being here he has left be in £32,000 of debt and all in my name. how can i get him to take some responsability when he wont answer phone to me or any of our family and friends. he is staying at his mums and dont want to call him there and give her satisfaction of lying about him not being there which he did when unconscious on bus and son was trying to get to him to tell him through her. i wont go on and on have postes soa and had some helpful tips but just felt in need of a hug and you all seem to know eachother and support eachother and guess felt bit lonely. i will pick myself up soon and get on with it i have been through divorce before but gets harder as you get older so bit sorry for myself tonight hope not lowered your mood and thanks for being there x

pigpen what phone is it? I might have a spare charger, we have a bag of spare ones somewhere. Well done on your achievements.
soappie a big hug for you, knowing what a strong resilient person you usually are you must be hit ever so hard with this bug ((sending healing type hugs))
homealone ((hugs for you)) because it sounds like you need one. Over 10 years ago now I was left in a similar situation with the debts, this year I was accepted for a better bank account after only being able to get a 'basic' one for years due to bad debt, you can and will get through. I think a good thread for you to start on would be the DFW one if you have not already. I will mention one thing, a solicitor I seen when I was left with the debts (I was extremely young) said if I'd been married he'd have been accountable in some way for those debts incurred......might be worth getting some advice on that, he'll find it more difficult to ignore a solicitor letter.
poohbear sorry but I hate city shopping, I have to go into town for the dentist and metro centre for opticians but other than that I avoid it. It must be 7 years or more since I went to Durham to shop for just that reason, don't even know what shops are there! I'd rather stick biros in my eyes than go shopping, I hate it. Online shopping however, I am good at that
toots great news, must have a good oncologist to committ themselves like that, the one I seen was useless at any sort of verbal committment to anything!
Michelle if he'll eat it, apart from those things you are told to specifically avoid, then I would let him have it. With the clingy, my DS2 was and I used a sling or a backpack for him so I could get on with things.
johanne wouldn't worry about teeth yet, my neice was 18 months before she got one, yet my DS2 was under 2 months
greenbee it's a little far but you're more than welcome to come use my washing machine (and dryer) pop it in the post if you like ((a hug for you)) with the manflu symptoms aswell.

Well successful evening, apart from socks ARGH I HATE SOCK SORTING I have put all the laundry that's clean/dry away we now have clothes in our wardrobes/drawers. Don't you just hate it when you put everything away and are reminded how little space you have? I did an hour of socks and got sick of them so came downstairs to eat yoghurts and catch up with you guys. I will have another hour or so with them tomorrow.......

All uniforms were easily found and laid out for tomorrow, DS1s been 48 hours clear so is going back tomorrow. I need to do a deep clean vacuum and he drives me insane when I use the vacuum cleaner so he's not just having the day off because he's been off since Tuesday. Ds1 wants packed lunch tomorrow so only 1 packed lunch to make I need to do food shopping tomorrow aswell, forgot to put an online order in with him being off school and need juice etc.
