Not had chance to catch up properly, hope everyone is ok.
Unfortunately LO is back in hospital with pneumonia again, she isnt doing too badly, just not maintaining her oxygen levels so she wont get out until she can. Tried to get her a doctors appt yesterday and couldnt so took her to A&E instead and they admitted her straight away.

Hugs G&B, I hope she is feeling better soon - do your doctors not do emergency cases immediately? They must know how your daughter is, mind you, you would have been straight up there anyway eh! Huge hugs on their way to you both...:A

Pigpen - any news? ETA - just read Rach's post - thanks for the update hun...;)

Mind you it is nice to know that each room will only take about 5-10 min apart from the kitchen....

I know what you mean OJK - I hate it when they make a mess after I've done everything (it's NEVER me! ) but I also love the fact that it's only a quick fly around and it's back to normal - would never have happened in my old 'pre-fly' days - too many hotspots!!!

Fly-flo - what a good job you've done there! What a lovely hall! And the 4.30 am bit - is your hubby working 7 days a week? Poor thing!

Thanks Soappie - He's working 11 days on, 3 days off - finishes next Thursday, but has come home for the weekend to see us as he finishes at 1pm on a Friday and 4pm on a Saturday so has time for the drive - it's just the morning one that's the pain! Still, at least we get to see him...:D
ETA: You're on a roll this morning, well done you!

I used a brand new microfibre cloth as a duster on Thursday as our yellow duster has gone missing in the move, and I used it to dust the landing banister so that I could hang washing over it. However, it's left a nasty brown stain all over the cloth, and OH said it's because it's made of teak, and it isn't varnished. I was then worried about hanging my washing over it in case it stained, so came up with the brilliant idea of putting binbags over it, and it worked excellently - just doesn't look that great. Still, I haven't taped them down so they can be easily removed.

That would have been a good move Sexy, those types of stain will seep right into your newly washed clothes and is nigh on impossible to get out... Be careful next time, you don't want to forget to put your binbags down...

Dh is torn in half on this, as he wants to be at the hospital, but he has an awful cough/sore throat thing, he's keeping away at the moment but we'll have to see how it all goes.

Hugs LilySue, I hope they're able to do something soon, but I think DH is doing the right thing, they may not be able to operate if she catches anything... :A

flower I didn't get to sleep til 5am, had to get up again at 8am, feel so rough! the thing is....i love being up all night, but then the next day doesn't go so well, and then i'm stuck repeating the cycle over and over. I feel so cross with myself:o

Went to bed at 5.30 after hubby went and I finished pottering... really tired too and just want to curl up, but know if I do I won't sleep tonight... need to get out of this ASAP...

Have tidied everywhere downstairs, although it was pretty good anyway - I have a small but time consuming weekend list...

• I need to go to the club about 1pm to sort out their understairs cupboard (why, when I have my own stuff to sort???)
• Go to my aunts to give the cat her tablet
• Go to my mums to set up her computer
• Make a throw for the bottom of the bed for a client

mmmm, me thinks I may be a while!!!! :rolleyes:

See you all later x

OK, on the flying front, I found this because I was deleting emails on my computer and am about to defrag (thanks for making me think of it Froddy...)

Good afternoon all you wonderful people x

I've not caught up properly yet but knowing g&b's little one needs plenty of healing vibes sending her way.

sexymouse after members have posted well for a while they should really be put onto unmoderated unless there are other concerns...........some don't! I personally would complain if a group always monitored every post as it's not being ran to Freecycle recommendations. You could ask when members posts become unmoderated to see what their response is. I have sods law happen a lot, when I put someone on unmoderated they do something stupid like offer pets, their kids as babysitters etc.

I've not got a massive amount planned today, DP said he's going to start the painting next week as I am out a lot, so in the hope (with a large amount of doubt in my head) that he might start it, I will see if I can clear the room he wants to start on a bit better.....I suppose when he gets up I should ask which room.

Going to get him out of bed, then do myself a list. I think I need to pop to the shop actually so might have to do that before my list.

Incase I don't get back, hope you all have a nice day x

Good afternoon

I've been on football duty all morning - DS3's first ever match against another team and DS1's first ever refereeing job. It was lovely and sunny out but oh so cold.

House - absolutely every room needs attention, major attention (except the cloakroom which just needs a swish and swipe.

I so don't want to do any flying but so need to so I'm going to.

Going to start with the bathroom as that finishes this weeks decluttering and then see how much of upstairs I can get done before I flag.

Later I need to pop to JL to return some stuff, get some plimsoles for DS3 and look at dishwashers as ours is so tempremental now it only works half the time.

Also have the cricket run nets session to do later.

G&B sending lots of healing vibes to your lovely DD
Cranky welcome and good luck
Lilysue hope the surgeon can make MiL much more comfortable real soon and that hubbie gets well enough to visit.

HHC - ironed my uniform ,pressed my jacket and put away most of the dry clothes - still a few items to iron but ran out of time - will do tomorrow.

Snap bag for work filled with healthy stuff - managed not to spend a penny at work last week (instead of about £8 a day :eek:) by forward planning - hope to do the same this week - just wil take enough money to buy the saturday paper to get the BIG crossword - hours of fun

Will try to keep up at work, time permitting - thanks Tilli for the HHC challenge

later lovelies x
