    The only bit that bothered me was that 'whatsername' the one we thought was dead and then she woke up later and burnt her 'dead' DH body. What if he wasn't really dead, like she wasn't:eek:


    I know!! That's exactly what I thought!!!! :eek: indeed! I giggled at the group in the end :

    A doctor
    A mum
    A child
    A murderer
    A champagne charlie
    A survival specialist (ish)

    Hmmmm!!! Nicely balanced for controversy, skill balance, and peril! :rotfl: :rotfl: Either that, or I've got too analytical since studying English Lit! :D

    Johanne ice to hear you sounding a bit more cheery chick. And glad to hear that Pumpkin's Dad is behaving a bit better. :T That's good news, long may it continue.

    Gryfon Come on love, this isn't like you. You've been down in the dumpsters for a couple of weeks now. Take a step back, decide on one small task, and do it. Then come back and tell us what you've done. You know this stuff works, just sometimes it can feel utterly overwhelming. That's why we all have to be reminded about babysteps, and just focusing on one thing at a time. ((((hugs)))) You'll be back on top soon enough.


    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Thanks for the positive vibes everyone (Crafty, G&B, Soappie, and Flower)!!! :D:D:D:D:D Fingers crossed eh! Everyone is doing what they're supposed to be doing today. I am NOT going to overdo things, but this is the best I've felt for weeks, even though I've still got minor cramps... nothing that's stopping me though.

    It'll be nice not to be moaning about something for a change!!!!

    I'm going to whizz off now, go to Lidl, and meet my mother in town for lunch... hope she's paying, cos I'm not.... have I mentioned my new budget!! :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

    WM unloaded and reloaded
    TD unloaded and reloaded
    Chucked out some of DH pants and some socks for us both and promptly burst into tears. I know this has to be done but it felt easier chucking some of my old undies at the same time, does that make sense?
    Wsahed a sink full of plastic ready for recycling
    Reconciled a bank statement

    Now having a :coffee: anyone else help yourselves :coffee::coffee::coffee::coffee:

    Gryon I feel the same as you but this morning I thought enough is enough I NEED to get something done. Nobody else will realise that I have done anything by the state of this place (which is half the problem) but I will know it is better.

  • AKKKKK - cleaned all the kitchen surfaces and then got side-tracked:rolleyes: ! Potted up two Amaryllis bulbs, then cleaned up mess from doing that. Spent 10 mins looking for building soc. book so I could go into town and pay in Premium Bond wins and then had to clear up after cat barfed up a massive furball:eek: (not sure which cat but have my suspicions).

  • Morning lovelies.

    Thanks for the stuff on the abbatoirs flower and soappie. It was interesting. I have to say, i am not too worried as i have a turkey crown in my freezer already, and plenty of other stuff, but thought it worth mentioning here so you ladies and gents could get yourselves sorted if needed.

    We are just plodding here. It is a nice day - a little warmer than the weekend. I went for a walk with the boys to the post box at the top of our street. There is a little grassy area at the top outside the sheltered flats. I sat on a bench with DS2 while DS1 had fun leaf kicking. burned some energy off anway. my sister is popping round later, so i will need to move any balls out the way before her ds finds them. other than that, no plans really, apart from more ironing needs doing and a load of kids clothes washing.

    Hiya
    I've not been on for a while but need to try and do as much as possible for the next couple of weeks. Been to see my consultant this morning and she wants to book me in for the 11th or 18th of December and has said i'll need 3 months of work. I'm hoping it won't be as long but if it is I can't do anything about it.

    So, my aim for today is to declutter as much as I can. My aim before I go in is to get the bedroom looking perfect so it doesn't wind me up once i'm feeling a bit better. I think Christmas might pass me by in a haze this year.....guess that's no different from most years:rotfl: .

    Thanks to everyone's support on last weeks thread. It's much appreciated.

    Hugs to anyone and everyone xx
