    Thanks Pammy and Sepa

    Have snuck off the sofa and finished painting the walls apart from edges but I don't fancy standing on a chair

    Pammy you have definitely beaten me on the tip runs as I have only done 2 this weekend not 6 in one day :eek: Think the most done in one day is 3
    The other thing on my list is being ill when on your own, I don't think I could be ill and look after children as well

    Oh no it has been 6 over about 10 days lol, think I did 3 in one day too. I meant it was tip run number 6 altogether since I started the clear up! Its amazing how much rubbish we accumulate over the years. we hide it so well dont we lol
    It is very hard being ill with children and still having to do things. especially with no proper help near me. Luckily the kids are a bit older now and can do things themselves if need be apart from get themself to school.
    Are you feeling any better?

    Feeling better as in not sick anymore as feel really hungry so I'm just scoffing tea but I have no idea what made be sick. Unless it was the excitement of having a shower this morning was to much for me after 5 days without

    But to end the perfect weekend I have just started my period :rotfl: so I'm now drugged up to the eyeballs with pain killers. Happy days

    I soooo agree that it is pants being ill on your own or on your own with kids. The upside for me is that every time I am ill the kids are a little older and a little more able to help look after me, so there's always a slight feeling that things are finally improving.

    Hope you feel completely better soon, Radish.

    You poor love. I can't imagine a worse few days than you have had. (Without a limb dropping off or something).

    At least you can put a ROFL smiley after it all. I would just put Mr :(.

    Chin up, m'dear: if you can survive this, the world is your mollusc! :D

    !


    Defo - as it was all the rain that made the floor rot :rotfl:

    Have been a good girl and done 1 hour (I had a timer :)) of painting yesterday and today, so the ceiling has had a coat of paint and the wall edges as found a small paint brush

    So tomorrow when BF arrives we will have less to do, think we will put the new lino in (as stick of seeing it in living room) and then if needed we will have to paint carefully, think only the skirting boards will have to be done once they are back on

    Survived the week, work was a pain and flights for USA have been booked, but I'm going with my boss so won't be alone on the trip, just lose a weekend with the BF so I'll have to concentrate on the extra money from overtime

    But whoop whoop I'm now off for a week, unfortunately trip away now clashes with Dads pacemaker operation so will spend Tuesday, phone watching, waiting for Mum to ring or Dad

    Been a bit naughty and hit the credit card , bought tickets for Take That (swoon Robbie), Bill Bailey in Nov and Michael McIntyre Oct 12. BF bought TT tickets to cheer me up but used my credit card :rotfl: so I'm treating myself and him, guess its the thought that counts

    Chucked some money in my ISA and normal mortgage payment and extra OP has gone out. Mortgage now at £15,400. Think I'll wait until the end of June as May/June are expensive months with car, TV license
