    Hi guys

    Big hugs to all those who need them.

    I really need a big dose of get a grip and get something done Dusty!

    Just been reading the flylady thread from last year when I was stressed as I remember some great advise - so Soappie and Tia - thanks for your replies last year they are as good now as they were then so I haven't posted again.

    HHC 11:00-11:30

    I will be doing my dalies before I put the kettle back on.

    (do you just boss everyone else about???)

    Yep!

    I wait until the weekend and make the children and hubby do it all.. :D

    I am at college half the week and the other half dealing with crap at school and doing assignments.. I'm not behind on those.. Plus I have pain to deal with which kind of puts a few spanners in the works when I am on a whizz pop.. I'm not doing the childrens rooms.. I don't see why I should.

    And.. most of it won't be getting done today because I refuse to damage myself any more than I already am!

    Been over to collect dog's medicines (£125.01:eek: ). It was a bit slippy in places but I managed to avoid most of the icy bits. Posted a card to USA and a small parcel (UK) and bought two more stamps I needed. Paid paper bill. I'm now officially skint :(

    Dog's happy, she got two biscuits in the vets and then came home and had a dental chew. Sleeping now :)

    OddJob mwah big massive squishy wishy hug from me, that was lovely and put a smile on my face. Usually when I get compared to Donkey its cause I talk too much and am annoying lol. Thanks again put a smile on my scrouge face this morning.

    Still waiting for the call from the hospital I rang them back but no answer. Either they are busy or they know its me calling lol. I just had a relaxing bath and it was lovely. I just lie there in the warm water and stayed like that for about 30mins. It was so good but had to get out, dad has made me a nice hot brew and after that off to wash my hair. I am making sure that am all clean and tidy I even shaved my legs and sweaty pits lol.

    Any ways no flying for me today just chilling with big belly butterflys. Will keep you all updated as and when I can.
    :wave: Wins in 09 = A vodka cocktail kit thing lol, £150 Amazon voucher.
