Thanks flower - house doctor was my fav programme when I had TV!!! so I have ideas of what would sell - I have often thought about doing one of these interior design courses at home but I really dont think I am artistic enough to manage it - i love looking at magazines about renovating and decorating especially on a shoestring!!!! I think thats why I have taken so long to get mine done - apart from having no money I kept seeing different ideas and changing my mind!!!!!!!

mudbath I am not surprised you were exhausted - ( hours on a course after 6 weeks recuperating is a big change!!!! I hope you find tomorrow ok and then you can rest on Monday. and thats an order!!!!!!

Ok Valli meant to say - hope you have a lovely time - where are you off to and who with - you never mentioned this I dont think - I'm with flower here!!!! the teenagers will be fine - I will hover over and check!!! I also wanted to say Job 49 has been done - one arum lily now looking better already!!! poor wee thing was all pot bound!

My next job has already been picked by Kazw - no 7 - this will take a bit longer - I have to finish knitting a cardi/shrug thing for myself which I started many moons ago so this is going to be a real test of my patience/staying power! AAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!

please dont anybody else pick a number as I dont want to know what is in store for me next!!!!!!!

right I am off to make a coffee and check what I am doing tomorrow on my listeeepooo!!

Hi everyone.
checked the site this morning & thought oh no! a weekend list....! I know its not compulsory but I felt I had to do something as DS had a friend round to play which gave me a spare hour or so. Opened the door to the CUPBOARD UNDER THE STAIRS took one brief look and shut the door quickly as it was just too traumatic. so did 2 separate blocks of 15 mins filing in the study but you can't tell the difference in there...

Tootles - I've planned to take it easy next week apart from the declutter 60 items per hour on Monday. I had to do this course because it's the second weekend of three weekends and will allow me to use aromatherapy in the hospice. Everyone was really kind to me and I took a cushion to sit on!!!!! Like you say, i'm tired now....just using my brain again was hard!

I'm going to start doing proper lists again a week on Monday so i'll study and tidy this week and then clean next week!!! I actually feel 'normal' again - it's fab! And your next number is..............


















Joking!!! xx

I did too.. I collapsed with exhaustion halfway through day 2 attached to a monitor so the staff knew he was ok and I was still having Cx's but he still didn't move!! It got worse.. he had 2 cardiac arrests (one at birth one just after) and took 20 minutes and 15 minutes to get breathing respectively.. I then woke up at about 10 pm and he was born at 2:10am.. EVENTUALLY!! With alarms ringing for theatre and NICU staff haring down the corridor!

And you still went on to have more :eek: :eek: :eek: Hope your sister had it easier than you! Was she a bit concerned after knowing your stories

Post sorted (mortgage rate has dropped again ) and filing done. Currently decluttering some cherries.

newbie msc - welcome (to the madhouse!!) I don't have any children, so can't really help with that, but little and often and baby steps seem to work well!
hex - well done :T And nursery is NOT a 'bad mummy' thing

Miss A - nice to hear from you. The sleepover sounds like great fun

Congratulations jennybee!!

I'm really sleepy now I've caught up on all the news! So, a quick post and bed. I'd watch TV, but earlier I pressed the wrong button on the remote, and now am recording Skysports with no way to switch it off The boys have now confiscated the remote...

Oddjob - loved 'The tale of the cookies'!!
