Afternoon my lovelies

THANK YOU YET AGAIN FOR ALL YOUR GOOD WISHES AND POSITIVE THOUGHTS - THEY WORKED - IT WAS A DODDLE!!!:A :A

I am here again - had an early start but this morning was verrrry easy - apparently because I am a 'peculiar' case (who talked???? own up!!) i have to have a second planning day which is not for a couple of weeks so will have time to get myself organised:rolleyes:
Was straving as I had no time for breakfast and had cheese on toast when I got back - have been trying to get on here for 2 hours!!!

Mudbath hope you got some sleep and DS is feeling better today
Jo OMG what an impulsive lady you are - thanks for the pm - will reply shortly - (((hugs)))) for you - I know you have been having a hard time at work and I am glad you are taking some time off. Nice to see you are feeling a bit better this morning - how was the new bed?
Quillion I love the idea of waiting until LO goes to school - gives you time to decide if you want a change of direction and polish your CV. ((hugs))) I hope things work out for you.
mummyyof5:T :T hope the charity stuff has gone and you have a new space! well done with the decluttering!!
lil_me lovely to hear of little M on the trampoline - he is fairly coming on! good luck for DS2 at the Cubs - proud Mummy moment (I am jealous of these!!) BTW you forgot to fit in all your studying too!!! I dont know how you manage to stay sane!
Thanks greenbee - you should know me by now - I am an independent little so-in-so but thanks for the lovely thought!
AnW'sMum another proud mummy moment - good luck to W!!
Lady Liberty OMG do I have to come and keep an eye on you - you were warned NOT to over do it BABYSTEPS pleeeeeeeeeeeese - *some people will just not listen toots wanders off muttering* Angel, its wonderful that you feel like doing things but its the same as what happened to Mudbath - you get carried away and the next day you are pooped - so only do little jobs - tiny tiny ones xxxxxx
Huge (((hugs))) and the best of wishes for Phil and Kazmeister and we miss you too - hope you will be back soon
sexy glad you have had some work but I miss you. You will need to get a chimney sweep brush and get rid of the nest or they will keep coming back - try to do it now before its finished and they have eggs. Then get a flue type cover for the chimney.
positively purple hugs honey - you sound like you are having a hrad time - take it slowly - do five minute jobs inbetween the nursing of the poorlies and you will achieve loads. and take some time for a breather for a cuppa - you must keep up your strength too.
flying_fresian you are doing really well for your first week - I am glad you didnt overwhelm yourself and aim too high - if you manage level 1 for a couple of weeks you will find that things get easier and you can then add on other jobs from the list and hey presto before you know it you will be flying through the whole list!!!
Jayjay thats great news for OH - is it for the temp job he is doing at present or for one nearer home?
Scared and Pigpen KICK!!!! hope you have these housing benefit forms done - if not WHY NOT???? it is going to save you money so get them done NOW!!!!!
Kazwookie glad you got the greenhouse sorted - what a shame - hope it has done too much damage to your babies!
SAVVYMUMMY happy 7th birthday to your DS2:T :T hope you all have a great day - and I am soo pleased for you that the boys liked getting their rooms - you worked really hard.
83rachel hello and welcome - exciting time for you - will be sedning you a pm shortly - dont be overdoing it - there's plenty time.
rosepink glad you are feeling better today - enjoy your course
beth194 sorry to read you have been poorly - rest and take it easy - dont go overdoing it at the weekend either - we will be starting again on monday!
polly now stop that .....you will be getting me worrying too:rotfl: :rotfl: glad I am not the only one like that!!!
SSsupergirl thats brilliant again!! what excitement and relief for you all.
mummy2mygirls I am glad I havent missed the excitement - GET THAT BAG PACKED NOW!!!!!!! :rotfl: :rotfl:
likklegibbon glad you have got rid of the builrders now you can get back to normal

I hope I havent missed anybody - please prod me if I have - will go and update the stars now.

Thanks to all, have flown round, house all spick and span - still need to mop the downstairs, but i think i will do that and then go pick tinytot up from after school club.

Decided am going to go back to Scotland tomorrow - its 8 hours in the car and it took me longer to get sorted than i planned. If i leave now, i wouldnt get there till 11pm - so im going to wait and head off first thing tomorrow.

I am so pleased at my nice lovely beautiful shiny sparkly house!!! :j :j :j

Anyone who is new to this, keep at your level one then build up to two and when you finally get to three - its fab!!!!!! There are still bits and bobs so its far from perfect, and as always I still have a pile of ironing, that just will not shift! :rolleyes: But what a massive difference and the way things are right now, it makes me feel so much better.

I should have been signed off last summer but i wanted to carry on working as it gave me something to focus on, I was hit by a car in November and ended up in hospital and off work for weeks. I should have been off longer but i wanted to be well and i rushed back......in hindsight ive rushed back far too soon and should have taken that time off summer last year.

I havent quite been able to get back on top of things since November which is partly why i ended up on this thread, but now its all just got to the point where i dont want to go to work anymore!! I would much rather stay home anbd IRON - thats how bad it is.....:rolleyes:

Anyway, im sorry for my little story, but that kinda gives you an idea of where i am.

BF is on his way over so we can go out for something to eat, then have a quiet night in so i can get off first thing tomorrow. I think he is worried this is all something to do with him and im sure hes worried im not going to come back from Scotland

Anyway off to mop my floor - so i can end on a high note for today!

Oh tootles.....coo-ee!!!!! Hope you are well my lovely.....when you are feeling up to it - May i have 4 - yes, a whole FOUR, stars this week please?????

Just caught up with the thread and read my own post and panicked "oh no, I'm supposed to be cooking dinner" before I remembered I had put it on and it is cooking.


I worry myself sometimes.....

:rotfl: I've done that before We should have a gang... yeah!

Hi guys :wave:

Now, I've just read toots' catch-up post and I just kept saying, yeah I meant to mention, and yeah I was gonna say that, and I had brain seive this morning, DOUBLE DOH!! :doh: :doh: ,so, everyone that toots mentioned .....what she said xx

Not long been in from work, have sorted mail and some more washing, probs gonna have tea out tonight cause I'm taking teenie and littley to the pics to see Marley & Me (teenie is nearly 17 btw ) :rolleyes: it'll be so nice to have him tagging along though we rarely all go out together he usually stays at home to be a maudling teenager with just his radioactive feet, his mates and playstation 2 for company.

There's some washing on the line that will be coming in soon, just need to go and tidy the kitchen up again now, he's been cooking :eek:
