    evening all and a

    BIG HAPPY ST PADDYS TO EVERYONE

    and to anyone from Norn Irn - Bout Ye :)

    My day has been ok, met a friend with her little boy this morning, which was really nice, havent seen her for ages. It was a gorgeous sunny day, tshirts and flip flops! So the walk to school was lovely.

    Big big highlight of the day was I took DD2 to Clarks to get her first shoes - aaaah bless she loves them.

    But we went to the supermarket after and she took one off and dropped it over the side of the buggy. Luckily DD2 spotted it. I put it back on her and then when we got back to the car she had a tantrum (one of many many today) because she was trying to take them off again and I said no. I stupidly had got a pair with velcro straps because they didnt have any buckle ones in her size, but have now realised they will drive me mad if she is chucking them all over the place when we are out. We are already down to the last pair of sicks we have lost so many out and about, she just takes them off all the time. So now I have to try and find time to go to another branch to change them for a buckle pair. How annoying.

    Flying wiase I managed to dust and declutter the fornt room and do a bit of dusting in the hall. Will update a list tomorrow, but I am very pleased that I did something!

    TAG - hope the Doc was sympathetic and has given you something new to try. Dont beat yourself up about not doing the lists. I too have been in a fog for weeks and weeks, in a way I'm glad its not just me though I waouldnt wish it on anyone. I am sleeping but have a sinus infection and feel like my head and face has been in a fight all the time, no energy, cant think straight. I stressed about not doing everything, then did nothing for a while so now decided to just do the bare minimum and see how that goes for a while. Anyway take it easy (((hugs)))


    MOJT - I read about you taking your ring off, hope you are ok ((hugs))
    and also my kids also match up the pegs when they help when the washing, I find it really endearing :)

    embb I now have mop envy :rotfl: I feel a trip to Asda coming on.
    and OMG I just read your post about poor Violet. hope you are ok, how awful for you.

    Mudbath - well done DD and bu=ig hugs from all of us down here :) i think of you daily when DDq pays with the Polly Pocket stuff, she loves it :)
    DS does too though he would never admit it :rotfl:
    Dusty :beer: nice to hear from you :)

    phil ((hugs)) I dont think we've "spoken" on here, I come and go as it were! Sorry to hear about the panic attacks etc, and well done for forcing yourself back out there. I've been there, and its so hard to do but defintiely helps, doesnt it. Its still hard though , even when you KNOW from experience that it helps.

    Evening all, got in late from work, luckily and surprisingly had tea made for me.

    Done no flying and at the mo really fed up with some selfish behaviour from my family.

    I'll feel better tomorrow, I hope.

    If not, get your spare beds ready, I'm coming to stay.........:rotfl:

    Went to parenting class tonight.

    When i put the washing on the line i have a 4 arm rotary airer thing. I have pink and blue pegs but don't match them on the line just pot luck of hand in the pegbag kinda girl. I do put matching stuff on line so one side would be whites, another darks, another dark blue and the other reds etc etc.
    I DO NOT IRON and would never ever dream of ironing a duster.:D :D
    I love to clean and i like it when the house looks nice and tidy.
    This is my 4th week and it is getting easier. Thanks Guys for all your support.
    xxxx Night all xxxxx

    Hiya Toots yes i have. Noticed it hadn't crossed it out so was just editing when you posted. That took the longest time as well not good having open plan when you got to do all the bannister. Especially as the cat goes through it to get up the stairs.:rolleyes:
