It would be absolutely fantastic for me - a first!!!!! and maybe I could then keep on top of it (hrmmm!!!):rotfl: :rotfl:

Good on you both, together you can conquer it...:T :T
I've just made my NYR to keep paperwork done - small amounts are easier - sfunny how this thread makes you think and see sense isn't it? I love the way we can do stuff together and get that little kick we all sometimes need - I love it...;)

How did you do Sarah? What a lovely idea with the charm bracelets -I always wanted one but was never so lucky!! Too late now to start collecting!!!
I have slowed down - getting too tired to be frantic!!! I managed to find my washing in the dark LOL and have it draped everywhere - which I hate! have cleared a bit of the kitchen table and thrown out flowers that were past dead - also done a bit of floor clearing in the LR.
going to work on kichen tonight so I am not too much behind tomorrow as i have ECDL to do.

embb :rotfl: mine looked tiny in the garden centre too, when we took the cover off it pinged out like some sort of puffa fish :rotfl: We did learn that from last year as we took the cover off outside then struggled to get it in the door. Good thing with the real ones is you can clip the back to make it sit against the wall better Mines still wonky because we decorated it during a few drinks.......:o looked straight at the time.

Unpack what was left of the shopping
Unload and reload the DW
Empty lunch bags
Wash lunch drink bottles
Clean wok
Wipe down draining board
Clean hob
Drank glass of water No. 5 (aiming for 6 glasses a day 2.5lt)

Hiya
Sorry i've not read the thread...will try and do it tonight. No flying done either. I went for my pre-op appointment and waited an hour before being told my appointment was tomorrow. Luckily I had my letter with me so I could prove it said today. Some mis-type apparently. Anyway, they were going to make me go back tomorrow but realised it was my birthday so found a ward that would do the tests and I got them done. Everyone was lovely and the same staff will be on on Thursday so that's good.

Popping out tonight with a friend and then hoping for an early night - i'm sure that won't happen. Living room now 100% finished. I need to finish our bedroom and the bathroom and then that's it - no more I can do. I'll probably do it on Wednesday.

Hugs to you all. xx

valli...thanks got the card and thing today

natty...thanks got your card as well! In a plastic bag as somehow the envelope had fallen apart!

Just spent the last hour or so chopping and sawing more wood! Drive is now clear of budlia mess and all the clippings are in the back of the car for the green tip tomorrow. Also have a pile of wood from offcuts and stuff out of the basement that I've sawn up

Need to turn my mind to food now!

Why you putting us all to shame and being so good and healthy?... (no drink, sticking to budget, drinking water??? )

Now you just go back to being bad Sarah, otherwise I will have to start being good too...:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: Seriously, congrats, long may you keep it up!:T

Still haven't read this thread. Is there a smilie for someone flapping their hands anxiously.

Well, to the positive side, made bread and banana loaf and two weetabix cakes...

Going to try and get little bear accustomed to the hoover - he cries when he hears it.

Don't worry if you don't read it all. Some of us do, some of us skim read, and some just pop in and out as and when.... it's all ok. Whatever suits you.

The lists are great, and will keep you on track, or just do your own list.

Yum... the baking sounds good! I made weetabix cake and banana loaf yesterday. :drool:

I know Toots, they are SO lucky. We had them valued just on weight last year, and they were worth a fortune. She's funny my ma, she wanted to get them something they could sell if they needed money when they were older? I don't think they ever would.... they're going to be heirlooms. Fab, Glad you're taking it easyish and slowing down!

AnW'sMum how unpleasant of your in-laws. They should know you better. I always find that when someone is behaving like that, a very direct -
"Is everything ok with you? because you sounded really off with me? Did you think I wouldn't want to see you when I came with the children??"

Can be really helpful. It will catch them off guard, while being assertive it's still pleasant and concerned; it gives them the chance to hear back what they've said to you, and some of the impact that's had on you.

I love a bit of being direct me!!! :rotfl:
