Hi Natty

Which book do you order out of curiousity - Ive looked at this site a few times, but dont know which of the books etc would be good for me. Just wondered what you got and how you found it?? x

Jo I actually get the monthly calender, the small diary, the notebook and this morning I had the Notes and Lists book delivered. In each one there are todo pages, shopping list pages and menu plan for the week pages as well as note pages. I swear by them, this is my second year of ordering from this site. She's very prompt - I only placed my order the day after yesterday and this morning the book arrived - talk about prompt delivery.

hellsbells hugs for you(HUGs) ME is a terrible thing - just keep trying to chip away at the pots - you will get there.
natty thats not good - and very debilitating - please look after yourself and take it easy - and tell the doctor - they need to know about it even if you dont see them just phone and tell them.
greenbee- hope work sorts itself out

have emptied the finished DW - I love it when its all hot
have put DW and WM on clean wash with all my cloths
and forgot in my HHC I also put out the paper recycling and another bag of general rubbish

can anyone tell me what dilution /ratio of stardrops they use for carpet cleaning not just spot cleaning - a bigger area?

Evening peeps

Have just spent the last 2 hours flying back over the thread as missed the last 2 days.

toots - What awful news for you. You are truly inspirational in the way you keep everyone positive on here and I really hope that we can be as strong for you as you have been for us, especially when you have been dealing with your own uncertainties. If anyone deserves a star it is you for being the wonderful person that you are :A .

GnB - Hope DD is recovering well after the op and that you are coping too

Phil120 - Hugs to you and wifey and hope things take an pturn for you both soon

Piggers - hope the legs are feeling better soon

Triker - Hope hubbby's feeling better soon

Ladylib - How are you, hope all is well following your last lot of news

Oddjob - just wanted to say hi and nice to see you

ZCC72 - Good luck with the uniplace application and interview

nicky1206 - I had frozen summer fruits which I mixed with some icing sugar. Whe they had defrosted the sugar had dissolved and we had a lovely sweet fruity sauce which we poured over the pavlova I'd made.

hex2 - I'm with you, it really gets to me sometimes too, noone else even sees a problem. I'd go with 'B' but oved the idea of the laces and nailing shoes to the floor

casleigh - Hugs for the C2 prob - not nice

soappie - sorry for the sad news, hope Gordon helped

rosepink - loved the story aout the knickers

sarahs - what a result with DD, wish it would work with mine!

JillD - Massive hugs to you hunny, ad please feel free to sound off, we all do at times. Mostly men are selfish inconsiderate baskets but occasionally they do take on the worries and responsibilities of that roof. It is hard when they start working irregular hours. My OH has been doing overtime (mostly night shifts) up to 100 hours per month to keep paying off our debts and I hated him not being around but eventually I got used to it. Now he's home all the time (under suspension) and its doing my head in as I cant seem to get any time to myself (to fly of course) as he encourages me to take it easy. We cant win/they cant win . Hope it sorts itself out soon x

Boddy - glad you had a good timeout. Hope mum is doing well

freedom - hugs

poohbear59 - nice to see you post

wilf55 - well done to your DS with the golf

Mudbath - pet healing vibes for you

Quillion - fingers crossed for positive job news, you too greenbee.

Flying tonight - I got as far as printing off yesterdays and todays list so hope I can do something tomorrow :rolleyes: . Am going to update spends on the computer now before making lunches for tomorrow.

OH news - no further forward havent heard anything this week at all so still in limbo, but trying to stay positive it is only a job.

I think I know what site you're talking about - organised mum by any chance! I've had the family calender, the meal planner for the fridge, have got the notes and lists book (but not really used) as I have the family life book which is brilliant. I even managed to get one of the leather covers when they were selling seconds for about £3. Well worth a look and like you said very quick delivery and you dont have to spend much to get free delivery.

Managed to get some semblence of order into the kitchen this evening. I remembered to get the chicken out of the freezer this morning but then came home from work and I didn't have the right stuff to make the curry I was looking forward to. But managed to fudge something together that was edible:rotfl:

Toots - glad you don't have to have the colonoscapy, I'm not a fan of them myself - though I do think the worst bit is probably the picolax:eek:

Will be working on the lounge tomorrow as I have been out and about in the car dealing with offspring traumas tonight.

If anyone has a vibe to spare on Friday please send them this way as OH has 2 interviews one in Rotherham and one in Stallingborough (Lincs). (why can't he get one nearer home I ask) They are both temp jobs but he only has next week at the current job left.

Anyway the WM has finished and will now go hang them up so OH has some ironing to do on Sunday:D
