    toots ((hugs)) you kno wwhere we are
    phil and mrs phil, sounds like a terrible time for both of you I do hope you get some of the much deservced good luck soon, and less of the what other people are going through, we all have our own issues and it effects us all in different ways. Just because others issues seem larger doesn't mean yours are any less important as they may effect your lives ever so much more. Telling off understood? Good!
    pigpen, maybe was 5lb of skin :D Have you thought about seasonal change, when these gastly things people call flowers appears it seems to set DSs off especially. Maybe it's the temperature change, maybe the flados but something sets it off this time every year!
    Triker hope DH is recovering well and not having you running around like a mad woman!
    leiela a lot of men seem to have similar issues with needing to be told what to do, it's sort of not built in? if you know what I mean. Pleased to hear it's helped.

    Right washer load 1 is on, we found 3 in toyboxes/on the floor the little scamps! I've got a pile of cardboard boxes needs squishing that we found in their rooms. DW needs emptying so that's first on my list. I did all the desks upstairs last night :D but going to to the extras list and then the bathroom......oh actually think I will do a freezer sort/list first. DPs driving me nuts with his TMA, he's got to listen to the most pants music tracks ever and it's cack, time for guns and roses in the kitchen I think :D
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    Morning all,

    Hope everyone else is ok - Triker how is hubby doing now?

    Hi Gnb, he's ok ta hun, yesterday was a bit rough, surgeon concerned as the hole is/was very big. He has a bone graft, a skin graft and his gum stitched to the side of his mouth, lots of pain and the after effects of the general anasthetic but today is a better day.....so far.;)

    We have to go back on friday to see the surgeon as he's so worried about it not healing/bursting back open.:o

    The good news.....OH was told on no uncertain terms NO SMOKING :j or nothing will heal. I haven't mentioned anything so far as don't want to remind him but I'm really pleased and hope that he can do this.

    Flying wise, done nothing so far, too tired. I sincerely hope all goes well for your LO today. x

    Oh I remembered:

    flying - I picked up my dressing gown off the floor and put it on the bed.:D

    Morning all

    I didn't get back on here last night due to connection problems. Sometimes I end up rebooting but the pc was in the middle of it's weekly scan which takes hours so I left it and watched the goggle box and rang a friend instead.

    Just caught up on the thread and want to say ditto to what Pigepn says Toots HUGE HUGS from me and the SW's BUT....... seeing as no one else wants to administer kicks then I will volunteer :D;) *but all in the nicest possible way and as per request missus*

    toots.. I am so sad to hear you have to have more chemo.. I know it isn't pleasant but you are such a troooper with it!! You should have a medal as big as a dustbin lid!! no doubt your house will be wonderful by the time you get round to having it done though!! ((((hugs))))

    After school we made Thomas biscuits for W and marshmallow fudge for Miss A :T. I shall be cubing the fudge for her to try this afternoon. Then it was cubs so all in all a busy afternoon/evening.

    This morning is W's class assembly so I shall be backwards and forwards today.

    Am going to put away some of the ironing I brought upstairs the other day so then we can carry on and keep on top of it, another dot joined ;)

    Going to have a :coffee: first anyone else want to join me?

    Hugs to G&B and LO, Phil and Mrs Phil, Mr Triker and Toots again ;)

    Does anyone fancy a HHC 10-10.30? I've got quite a bit of Monday's list to do as have just waded through half of the washing up - have put it all away, but still have a load left to wash and dry by the sink, so need to get some of the other tasks done after that's been done.

    Big hugs to pigpen, phil and his wife, Triker and her hubby, GnB & her little one, and anyone else who would like one.

    Haven't had a call for work this morning (hence why I'm here still), so don't know if I'll get one for this afternoon - I said to OH this morning that if I put my work clothes on, I won't get a call, and it looks like it's working - suits me though cos have lots of washing to do and have managed to hang one load out on the line already. Fingers crossed that the rain holds off.

    Thank you everyone for your healing thoughts re my OH, given that so many flyladies, gents and their loved ones are going through it at the mo I reckon a surge of healing thoughts won't go amiss.:D

    Phil and Mrs Phil hope you have turned a corner re the crappy stuff, sometimes it seems neverending but it will end, honestly it will.

    Pigpen, I'll take you to the library, got to pop out later anyhoo but I'm not parking youknowwhere!!!!!!!

    I'm going to have a look at the lists now and decide what to get on with.
