I forgot this very important message to all Flyladies (sorry, gents, it is gender specific)

Tampax have announced today that they will be replacing the cord on their tampons with a piece of tinsel.

This will be for the Christmas period only!

Sorted desk (put away some stuff, restacked the rest for next time )

Collected port

Roasted vegetables

Did washing up

Loaded DW

Ironed a load of other bits...

Washed towels

Froze fruit juice & roasted vegetables

Dried towels

Put towels away in airing cupboard

Wiped kitchen surfaces

Sorted rubbish

Cleared out fridge and wiped grubbiest bits

Is it any wonder I'm exhausted

Hi Ladies! Sorry haven't popped in lately but all the work over the summer paid off and house isn't looking halkf bad still! Few jobs this week - but mainly done - pressies wrapped and under the tree, stockings located along with glow sticks to guide Santa in - don't ask!! Will look at the list when I have time tomorrow and really cross off the rest - had a good splurge on Friday before kids finished so house is mainly clean - will jsut be kitchen when I've finished cooking before Christmas Day onslaught.

Wishing one and all well - enjoy if you can - ((hugs)) if the festive season is too fraught for some of you - quite understand - only just getting round to enjoying Christmas after 15 years of traumas! Love the kids faces - gets to make it all worthwhile.

Kindles!

Sorry I have not managed to keep up with the last thread. I have been talking with a friend who has some heavy issues at the moment. Did manage to get the decorations up.Will wrap rest of presents Tuesday night..

Thanks for the list pigpen.

Hugs for you all and healing thoughts to poorlies. Off to chill and watch Casualty.

gryfon - okay, big hugs for now. Let the children sort themselves out, they probably won't kill each other. Or you can do what I once did in desperation, I wrapped them up warm, put them outside and locked the door for ten minutes. They yelled for five, then went off and played for ages. I may have scarred them for life, but they look okay to me.:rolleyes: (Maybe wait until daylight though! Try putting them in their bedrooms instead.)

I've noticed that you set yourself very big challenges, and pretty much no-one ever succeeds with those. Instead, break it up into chunks and do it a bit at a time. Don't say you'll sort the whole house, but just one shelf or drawer at a time. You will get there, promise. Don't ever make these decisions at New Year either!

Longterm pain like you've been having is depressive (I have a friend who is a chronic back pain sufferer) and if you've recently had a virus, then that can make you feel low, let alone this time of year when expectations of mum are unreasonably high.

Anything at home right now that you can treat yourself to? Long scented bath, quick glass of wine, chocolate, favourite film or book??

Happy Christmas!
