    Mudbath - listen to Pigpen please! If you're bored, let me know as I've got to clear out some books (I got rid of a bookshelf, so have four boxes to go through) and can send you some mindless trash to read. The mess will still be there when you're better... and if you deal with it now, you'll just have to do it again as it will be back by then :rolleyes:

    Nicki thanks for my card & congrats on your results

    OH dealt with a serious incident other day in work...and as a reward his employer gave him a choice of vouchers from any of the shops in the complex he works... and he said he thought of me so has just given me £25 in Lakeland vouchers!!:D :D:D Never been able to justify spending money in there before so it will be soooooo good!:D :D:D

    Go have a good look in there.. I went Saturday and had fun (but behaved on the spending :p )

  • Mudbath - you have to REST - we know it's boring, but it'll be even more boring if you overdo it now and end up having to rest for even longer :p

    I am really going to bed now ......

    HI all, I did join earlier in the year for a while but fell off the wagon and house is back to utter chaos. Like FireAngel I was planning to declutter first before joining in on the board again (shame and embarassment!) as it has got to the point where everything is in boxes on the bedroom floor; but as FireAngel has been brave enough to join in now so will I.
    I am now the proud owner of a bottle of Stardrops though as I bought some a few weeks ago and have been testing it on everything!
    How much I manage tomorrow depends on whether I'm out for the morning or not, but will aim to at least fold and put away (I don't iron) the laundry mountain that has accumulated on the armchair.
    I made OH's packed lunch for tomorrow and washed up few hours ago (usually I do nothing in the evening) have been meaning to get into the routine of doing at least that evey night. I like getting up to a clean kitchen...
    Anyway, sorry for going on a bit, I would love to join in again, no sense putting it off to next year ;)

    Can't do a Christmas tree (?) so
    I'm in!

    Haven't had a chance to do much flying today. Hubby been in with his doctor today (things aren't going that great at the minute) so spent alot of time talking today. Feel totally shattered eventho i've done nothing.

    I have promised myself that tomorrow is a new day and i WILL get this house sorted. Right better get to bed or i'll not surface at all tomorrow.:rotfl:

    Nicki well done on your marks.
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.
