I'm back and I'm shattered - the week has caught up with me.

Going to make my lunch and then just do sitting down computer jobs until school pickup

oh my ....
i did 3 hours in the office and managed to clear 1 bookcase, 2 huge boxes with mostly tools and pc stuff (put the kids pc desk in the empty opening for oh's new projects :rolleyes: )

well, 1 big black sack of rubbish, lots of stuff is in the garage, some in the shed, some upstairs, .... very slow!!!

i need to get on with it, there are still 3 more bookcases AND the playroom AND the obvious rest - and all by tmrw 2pm :eek:

but i love my new boxes from ikea

Afternoon all,

mudbath & hex - enjoy wii fit its quite addictive once you get going.
GnB - hope your DD is better soon
pigpen - think you need to kick someone re your money how do they expect you to cook without a new cooker.

Hope all others are okay, didnt manage to fly yesterday and so far today have emptied DW and reloaded WM. Did a 2 1/2 hour dog walk this morning with friends to feeling tired now.

I managed to pick up some Pork Mince on offer at the butchers, I normally only buy beef mince but trying to cut down on red meat so thought I would give this a try, if anyone has any receipes could they PM me, I am assuming I can just substitute the pork for beef in some receipes?

Mudbath I think you are very naughty - she is not called stripes she is called dotty potty spotty floppy poppy puppy dog and she will get an inferiority complex if you call her stripes!!! You knew I would have to answer didnt you!!! Was she good for her pedicure? Will be thinking of you later when you have your 2nd visit to the vet (((hug)))

triker hope the mouth is easier today and you are able to eat again.

(((hugs))) to all those with sore toes.feet and fingernails - ooooooooh!

dusty sounds like it was a good evening - I bet DS enjoyed it - well done getting the sweatshire.

Some of you will already know that I am struggling this week and to be honest previous weeks too - I am feeling very low and havent done any flying so feel I cant post- I miss the chat and as much I would like to post I am concious that my chat is not flying related so need to keep quiet. I have been keeping up with the thread and see that you are all doing really well - enjoy the difference it makes to your home - you've earned it.
My house is overwhelming me again but I have no inclination to do anything - send me some motivation please!!!!
I thought I had better pop in and let you know as some of you have been wondering where I was. Physically I am just the same and will just have to get my head sorted asap. take care all!!

toots xx

toochoosey

glad to see you back toots, the thread has become quite quiet since there is less chat, I am glad your still here, as is everyone else, I'm sure.
Hope you feel better soon((((((hugs))))))

going to jump in late to the HHC that started 5 mins ago, so 25MC here I come........................

pigpen

Toots.. if I had some motivation you'd be more than welcome to share.. alas I am totally depleted in that department.

I have decluttered a lemon cake, a packet of crisps and a cup-a-soup AND cleared some rubbish off my desk..

While I am THOROUGHLY pee'd off (you know the 'one wrong word and I'll wail' kind?) I am going to take on the insurance company...

ashteadgirl

Toots - you support us alot so its is time for us to be there

Pick one job off your list and do that - as you say to us bite size pieces make it achieveable.

The mind often take alot more to sort out than the body and you are cursed that no one can see the problem unlike a broken bone

Hang on in there

Have been working all week so just off to do a 30 mins dash round a bit of my mega list

Mudbath

:wave: tootles - STRIPES says she enjoyed her pedicure because she got some woofit treats. She keeps meowing though...you don't think i've confused her already do you . Our vet is off sick today so pud is going to the vet for an antibiotic injection and we'll speak to him on Monday. She's has a slight repreive because if one of us feeds her mackeral she doesn't notice the other one putting the drops in!!!

Flying - I put two bit of rubbish in the bin xx
