Vali I hope you are ok and have phoned somebody - I'd phone your GP OOH as I've never found NHS direct any use at all.

Feel awful myself but just with my cold/sore throat/headache/earache but I'd rather have that than what Vali has got poor thing.

Trying to find some energy to do a bit of wrapping but so not in the mood.

Holly, can you sneak out early before he has a chance to object?

hugs holly - I think you could be right - a lot of the men on here are stressed - possibly the recession/threat of rdundancy etc - I suppose we should give them the benefit of the doubt????????? hmmm not sure if all will agree:rotfl: :rotfl:
lil_me hope you have managed to survive the shopping - brave girl!
pigpen and new blinds too ....you wont recognise the place!!
chocaholic WOW well done on your list - could you just pretned a bit and not strike everything off - you are putting us regulars to shame:rotfl:
jjef thats brilliant news about the OU - have you stopped grinning yet!
oddjob what did we ever do to deserve you - you are wonderful (as I am sure Mrs OJ will agree) :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:
hester oops sorry I didnt realise about DH - Hmmm yes I can see that it might cause a few problems for you!!! we will have to think of jobs he can do properly without making them worse!!!:rotfl:
Mudders thats great news about having a shower -a pity about the bit that hasnt healed together - be careful you dont pull it and make it worse. I see aunty soappie has added more adjectives to poppy - so now you have a potty spotty dotty floppy flappy poppy puppy dog!!!!!! and i still love her to bits (poppy that is !!!)

I did my HHC decluttering and am going to have the rest of the evening to myself on the computer, watching tv and cross stitching (though not all at the same time!) Will leave dusting for tomorrow! Have deleted some of tomorrow's list as I don't have children, or special crockery, or any more shopping, or toy boxes My few coats and shoes are tidy, and the binmen are coming tomorrow! But ......... I do have LOTS of ironing

Monday Mayhem..

1. Dust round the whole downstairs

Tuesday - Time's nearly up!!!

1. Iron yesterdays wash mountain
2. Vacuum through downstairs.. and the stairs!
3. Mop the kitchen floor!
4. Get rid of the washing up.. delegation is good!
5. Declutter your desk.. if it is anything like mine it is full of receipts and invoices!
6. Have a skim through the TV guide and decide what you want to watch.. it saves missing bits of stuff if you know what is on and when!! Don't forget to make time for Queenie!
7. WRAP WRAP WRAP!
8. Spend half an hour doing NOTHING!!.. absolutely nothing!!!! Just sit.. and relax with a drink and a treat!

Toots - I love your description of the mad dog as she's being called at the moment. She chewed a hole in her bed and she tells me to tell her godmother toots that it was just because no-one had given her any attention for at least five minutes. DH is taking her out everyday but even he's admitted that she needs the two hour walks I used to give her as they used to shatter her. He's getting up early in the morning to, in his words, 'totally kill those little monsters'!!! Somehow I think he'll be the one to suffer! xx
