soappie - sounds interesting! good luck with it.

Thanks Rach - some positive vibes for the proposal would not go amiss! It IS interesting and WOULD be worthwhile if it's approved.

DD is not moving in to her flat with her bloke tonight - seems DiL's parents are laying new carpets and stuff especially! They work too hard those two

Animals fed. About to feed me and DS shortly.

I've caught up with the days posts now..you've all done much more than me! I am trying tho to do at least one thing more than my dailies once I get home from work...anything is a bonus & one less thing to do on the weekend. I'm bribing myself with a "you can't go to the beach/shopping/whatever at the weekend if the jobs aren't done"!!
I've got a few other extras that I really want to get done before the end of the week. If I post them here it'll be another bit of motivation.

1. Sort through all post - we've stuff from months & months ago that is still sat unopened!!:eek:
2. File all said post, preferrably in the bin or to the shredder
3. Water the plants
4. Empty the airing cupboard which is absolutely jam packed
5. Find car service record as my car is booked in for its service & MOT in a couple of weeks & didn't have the service book last year to get it stamped!

I'm sure there were a couple of other things but they've escaped my mind at the moment..

Yippee!! Have managed level one and two of todays list and also had a quick mini throw out session in our bedroom - recycled some clothes and boots for the charity shop. If I can throw half a dozen things away a day, the house should be tidy in about 300 years!!! Am going to go and settle down with a glass of wine and then go to bed - am exhaused from the shock of cleaning.

positive vibes winging their way

Hugs re the dog, good thing you are on the ball

I've just realised tonight is my last opportunity to fly (and probably to catch up) until the weekend...we're out (opera) tomorrow night, Thursday I'm away for work and I won't fancy flying on Friday night when I get back. Still, weekends are for catching up!

Am going to sign out for now, do some wii fit and then read my book. Been staring at a computer screen for too long today and my eyes are hurting.

But this is a child, who is the youngest of 3!! Then im in tech and phone calls and texts are coming through asking can i keep a secret!!!! the 'friend' is having an affair......I really cannot cope with this, I dont want to know anything about it, it causes too many problems as I know all 3 children and their dad.......Some people can just be so bloody wreckless with their kids lives:( ................................................I want to cut off all ties. how do I do this in a nice way, so that I dont hurt the little girl?? I really cant cope with this!!!
