  • hi all

    thankyou Greenbee and Pigpen - yes i suppose when you list it down then I have achieved more than I would have done before!

    And i should not try to do too much too quickly as i know that it will definately take ages to get around to everything.

    "Secondly could you please post loads and loads and loads so that every time I come on here my gorgeous Ewan is gazing at me ..........:drool: :drool: :drool: :drool:"

    Funny thing JillD ....I get a similar response at work as my screen saver has lots of Ewan pictures.... some with him in a kilt and not a lot else!!!! this one and the one in a towel seem to be the most popular.

    Off to bed now as need to keep to the challenge at least on the first night!

    Good night all

    Feet update. I tried so hard last night I just ignored them whereas normally at bedtme I fiddle. Went to bed, Couldnt sleep they were so sore, got up to check and on one foot I had two big cuts that I had left open to let the air at them, well sock fluff had got in and it was agony. I dont know how a wee bit of fluff can hurt so much. So cleaned them up, a load more skin peeled off, all raw and sore bbooo hoooo I hate them. Took some more painkillers and back to bed. (By this time it was 2.30am. DS came in at 3.30 am and again at some point later YAWN) However on the plus side one foot has had no plasters all day, seems ok now, so I am hopeful that at least one foot is improving.

    Thats it for me TTFN

    Unlimited sympathy on it's way.....:A :A :A hugs honey.

    I used to have excema when I was a baby up until I was 7 really bad, although I don't remember a thing about it, but I know my Mum used to have to make me wear special socks and gloves with loads of cream on underneath of a night - it never cured it, but it did stop the flaking/itching during the night at least and I got a proper nights sleep - I know you've probably tried everything and I'm preaching to the converted, but would that work for you at all???

    HI all, no chance of me catching up with the thread this evening. Went out at 6.30 to go give blood, I had called earlier and they said there was a drop in but I got there and they were fully booked, so after a very long cold walk up there I dropped in to see a friend and ended up helping her with a presentation she just found out was due tomorrow for college! Got home at 10.30, thankfully friend gave me a lift so didn't get too cold.
    When I got in I washed up and shined the sink (though I didn't dry the dishes, they're draining) then made a start on the shoe rack. It's got 5 shelves and needs 70 screws, I managed 14!
    It's only got pre-drilled holes on the bits you screw, not the bits you screw into so really hard going with a poxy pink screwdriver which I think was designed for cuteness rather than effectiveness. My hands started to really hurt so I have had to admit defeat until tomorrow evening when hopefully I will have found a better screwdriver and possibly resorted to a drill!
    Hope you're all doing OK today, will catch up a bit in a minute and find tomorrow's list.

    Pigpen - thanks for putting cupboard under the sink on the list, I was going to do it earlier then thought I'd leave it until Kitchen day, so I cleaned my front door instead (it gets mould all over it because it's old and in the porch with the TD!), even took a photo of before and after, I was so proud, have never cleaned a door before!
    New MW is in situ, don't think it needs cleaning yet, though it did take me AGES to get the annoying sticker off the door!
