    I'm off to s/s the kitchen. Not got a huge amount done today as still tired. Had a letter from the hospital to tell me they'd removed a lot more than they thought they'd had to and there were things there that shouldn't have been - all hystology ok though so that's fantastic. It does explain why I felt so carp for so long though.

    Thanks for the wii advice girlies...i've convinced my son he wants a wii fit for last weeks birthday and one wii fit ordered (I'm buying it with my birthday money but giving it to him as we'll all use it).

    Hope everyone is well.

    Muddy's challenge: look around the room that you're sat in. What's really, really annoying you? Spend five minutes dealing with it! xx

    I'm just popping in to say goodnight to you all, it is helping me getting back on the flywagon, I have just got to not worry about being unable to keep up with the thread.

    Indigo ( can't remember whether you were a moon or a star, if I go back to check the thread I may never find myself again :D )....yes I think it's hard when the yuk factor comes in, I find myself wanting to creep away and not tackle things, but I tell myself that there are such things as rubber gloves!!!

    Yep I am definitely back again, hopefully for good this time. I got made redundant in November and have had a rough time over the last six months too. But I am bouncing back with my adjusted username, gutted about losing my post count though!!
    hello moggins I wasnt around when you ran the thread but have read some of the old threads! Sorry to hear you have been made redundant and hope it wont be too long before you get back to work (if you arent already).

  • Hello Everyone

    I haven't been to the dentist for 18months as I could not afford the costs and have now probably been struck off! I think I shoudl get another one - but no NHS ones here so will need to start Denplan or something - does anyone else do this?

    As to flying - well not alot more achieved but did tidy landing a little bit and hoovered it. Also managed to clear some bags from my bedroom but decided to taken them downstairs and sort them out straight away rather than just shift the carp from one room to another. so ended up just clearing a small area but satisfied with progress.

    It is so nice to draw the curtains in the living room for the first time in 3 months!

    Thanks so much Mudbath, I actually have done your challenge! At first I thought I couldn't do it as the whole room is annoying me! I decided my husband's chair wardrobe was the most irritating and I got up and tidied up so it only takes up one chair instead of two! And I hung out some washing to dry.
    I'm so happy I've acheived something today! :T :T :T
