    mummyyof5 hope you feel better after a rest.
    raychee yes the novelty does wear off but the good thing is that all the cleaning you are doing while new and enthusiastic does make it easier to keep up with things later on when you have something better to do! Well done for your first week - you have done loads.
    toochoosey the pinky purple star I gave last week was for all 5 lists - remember extras dont count towards the stars - so you had done all the lists - so you will have to do them again this week!!!
    have a (((hug))) greenbee I hope you feel better in the morning

    I have managed 85 things so far

    had a 'lovely' telephone conversation with the dragon
    made my tea and ate it
    so sorting out some more clippings and stuff for the last 15 items

    toots xx


    OK, will try my hardest, up in the morning to do breakfast club till 9, then welsh 10 till 12, work 12 -1.15, so my plan
    strip bed in the morning put on to wash, before class put it in the TD, put hoover round downstairs and get as much done as I can after work/ school run. Also NEED to do a HHI cause OH is going to sort the caravan out over the weekend so needs clothes/bedding etc and DD has her ST.Davids day assembly on Fri. so outfit needs to be found(again) and ironed.
    I know I don't work full time and only have one child but I am very lazy!!!

  • Thrown away 100 things but working all day today.

    DHs last day of gainful employment - he's between jobs now and at home full time. :eek: We have savings but any tips for keeping me sane?

    Also, Rach what is the "serious" version of the 100 books? I am not a member of facebook but someone said the link is up on your page there.

  • Hello everyone,

    I'm woefully behind, so if I'm posting in the middle of someone's drama/crisis I apologise.

    Toots thank you so much for that wonderful surprise. It came at a crappy moment in my day, so it was a much needed lift... immaculate timing :A I love it. It's hilarious. :D And is now up in my kitchen. ;)

    Well, my poor little girl. I mentioned last week that she had chilblains..... well, she saw her paediatrician this morning, he said she has Raynaud's Phenomenon. She's got to have lots of tests.... :( I'm so sad about it. She gets such a rotten deal. :(

    Anyway, we have to take her tomorrow for her blood tests. Poor baby, she HATES blood tests.

    Sorry folks, I'm rubbish company.

    Hope everyone's well and cheerful.

  • Hugs to Restaholic, Mozzy, Mummytomygirls, and to Sarah and her DD, Reynaud's isn't nice. She needs nice thick socks and gloves. Would you like me to knit some thick socks for her? I've got a pattern I think, altho I've never knitted any before so they might be an odd shape! Slipper socks and fleece gloves would be good for her, especially if she wears wool gloves under her fleece gloves, another layer!

    Mudbath, are you ever going to come back and tell us what happened?

    Sorry - the oops was because I meant to post on another board but I posted it on here instead! Nothing exciting, infact, here's a more interesting story...

    I was getting ready for bed and forgot to close the curtains properly. A passing jumbo jet pilot got a glimse and went into freefall, however, my DS, who has super powers..he's the original cornflake boy, put on his undies outside his PJ's and flew to the rescue...panic over.

    Now which story to you prefer!:rotfl:
