    Yet again I've ended up spending all Sunday working on school stuff - I'm going to make that my challenge for the week I think - do all the planning. resources and admin by Saturday evening!

    You and me both I think we need to form a mutually supportive team here and get this one pegged (sorry just couldn't resist the pun). Not been working all day but there was still some to do.
    How about it? I should be able to do this as I don't work Thurs and Fri but I see what wants cleaning...

    And I am finding myself very tired of an evening (...am awaiting blood test results re anaemia). That is impacting on my getting the marking done.

    I was just reading this and was thinking poor dog :) ...and then I realised that I haven't fed mine tonight!!!!!!

    And I'm not pregnant lol. My poor pooch, best go feed him now :o

    I dont feel to bad now, Hubby keeps asking at about 9 if i fed tohe dog and i never have and then says when did you check the water.........and of course i havent even thought about it (dont worry its always got some when hubby checks but if it was left to me the poor thing would be soooo hungry and thirsty...) so thought if i put it on my list i might remember and when he asks expecting me to say no i can say yes and i changed the water earlier!!!lol

  • Hi fedupandskint - like I said to fertyskids and Sammy_girl you are very welcome here - dont be scared we dont bite (well most dont!!!) 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!)
    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.
    Welcome to the madhouse - the support and encouragement is the best!!

    ETA there are HHI's (half hour ironing) challenges throughout the week so that should help you tackle the ironing mountain!!
    Peace will be mine

    I've spent most of the day at the emergency dentist:rolleyes: , half of my tooth fell out the other day and the gum has swollen over the rest. Which means the jagged bit of tooth is pressing into my swollen gum:eek: , it's agony. The dentist packed it with some painkilling stuff and told me to see my dentist tomorrow. It's starting to wear off a bit now though.
    :eek::eek:
    Hugs hollyh.
    I started last week with a disintegrated tooth and had to get an emergency app. with dentist, but mine wasn't hurting.
    Hope you get it sorted tomorrow.
  • Hi, just to let you know I'm in this week.
    Havn't had a chance to catch up since Friday, spent a nice weekend in Bath, will go & see what you have all been up to.
    Hugs to all xx
