greenbee - thats lovely news about your brother and GF - sounds like you get on with her too - hope you all have a great time this week - to hell with the flying!!! Maybe by the weekend you will have some resemblance of utility room to use.
soappie nice to hear you are 'mending' and good thinking with the soup!!
pink you are still doing far too much - even driving to the hospital with ds'S GF ( I know you you want to help and she has a horrible witch of a MUm) - you will not not get better that way honey - please take it easy - and for goodness sake - no painting!!!!!
sorry about OH - what a pain - there's no easy answer-just keep asking him what he has spent and he might get the message?? big hugs
kazw what a time you are having - big hugs for a speedy end to the lurgy - there are christmas parties to go to!!!!
AnW's MUm well done on the medal - you have been busy today - will email you in a bit.
((((hugs))))) flower - hope the headache has passed and you are beginning to feel normal again - well maybe not normal exactly(dont think you do normal!!:rotfl: ) but at least not as bad as you were!!
ZLS remind me not to get on the wrong side of you ("dented a door with my fist.":eek: :eek: ) hope you got heating sorted and well done on the clearing up - you will get there - baby steps!!!
supergirl budget ....what new budget... first I heard about it LOL :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: thats the way to do it!!!! keep it in in your head at all times, whenever possible and it will become second nature to be careful!!!
(well thats the theory!!!)

right.. quick dash around the kitchen.. even if it means putting my tiny knee warmer in her box!!

could you put her in a sling to keep your boobies warm!!!! :rotfl: :rotfl:
Mudbath good luck with the flying - its probably better to get it over and done with - the quicker its done the quicker you will feel better - you will have loads of time to keep track of us on here! Poor spotty poppy puppy dog she must be wondering what has happened to her but she will soon bounce back and she will love the cuddles when you are recovering (if she doesnt jump on you that is!!)
gryfon hugs honey - you have had a bad day - just make up your mind when you go to bed that tomorrow is going to be better - 15 minute chunks are fine - but be strict with yourself and you will be amazed at what you can achieve!
johanne - what a bu**er about OH's pay - just what you didnt need - glad he is being more helpful though (sorry I'm with pigpen and the others here - is it for his own ends?)
lil_me I would go and look at the bungalow - at least then you know if its suitable or not??
oddjob good luck for tomorrow - have hug for your pain too - hope it eases off before the interview. You are great to be so cheery with that constant reminder!
lou1981 good to see you back again - hope you have all recoverd - dont give yourself a relapse trying to catch up now:rotfl: :rotfl:
mumof four77 hello! no wonder you ache - take it carefully - there is only one of you and you have kiddlies to care for too!!!
froddy - how scary for you and the children - hope the wee lass comes through ok - will be keeping her in my thoughts and sending healing ones.

Sorry after about 6 pages I realised there is no way I can catch up, so as my tea's all drank and my eyes can hardly stay open I better go make lunches and find my bed. In the mean time, a big thank you to pigpen for coming up with the lists again, a warm welcome to all those new to flying, and massive hugs to all my lovely friends who need them.

Hopefully catch you all tomorrow at some point

ok, may be do-able, got no spreadsheets but i hate washing curtains.....living room and dining room ones shrunk, but the linings didn't!!!!!!!!!
anyway will try to do as much as i can before welsh class, and then see how it goes, although trying to keep on top of these 2 rooms:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

Hi tigerlee and poffigirl you are both very welcome here -as you have both been 'lurking' you know already how it works so just dive in and take the rooms as they come along - do what you can and dont stress about the bits you miss they will come up next week again. If you manage level 1 every day that will be brilliant - Your home didnt get in a mess overnight so dont expect it to get tidy overnight!!! baby steps is the way to do it - DO NOT try to do it all at once - you will wear yourself out and sicken yourself too (believe me - we've all done it!!)
A new room is added everyday so by the end of the week you will have been round the house! After 2 or 3 weeks you will see a difference and everything gets easier each week.
tigerlee - thats the great thing about pigpen's lists you can adapt it to suit whatever else is going on - good luck with the plastering and sanding - when you've finished could you come do mine!!!!:rotfl:
poffigirl - having 2 LO's makes it tough but the other Mums on here will keep you right (not me - not a Mum!!!!!) but you have made a brilliant start and if you achieve a little every day like today you will get there!
Oh and another thing - there is no such thing as failure here - post what you have done no matter how small and forget about what you havent!!!

Welcome to the madhouse - the support and encouragement is the best!!
