Hi Everyone


ANDAN - thanks for the advice - definately need the deep tissue massage. Will look at finding a therapist from that site. Can you not just go nationwide? You have a willing set of clients on here;).

Painted Lady - hope you make a speedy recovery. It must be horrid worrying about work when you should be focussing on getting better. Keeping my fingers crossed for you.

Thanks for asking about the assignment. I've made very good progress and am hoping to get the bulk finished by the time I go to bed. I can then tidy it up on Tuesday when I have a day off.

Had a horrid dream last night that combined work; my wedding and other things that I haven't done. I guess all these things are playing on my mind when I have been forcing myself not to think about these things. They are all on a list to deal with in April once I have handed in this damn essay!

My list for today:

• more work on the assignment - to complete a full draft with references
• ironing
• [strike]bread in BM [/strike]
• [STRIKE]NSD[/STRIKE]
• [STRIKE]Storecupboard lunch and dinner[/STRIKE]
• Call Gran using free minutes - bless her she offered me her old TV and Video but I don't need them. OH will be bringing his flat screen when he finally moves in.
• [STRIKE]check emails[/STRIKE]
• check bank accounts
• print off budget for april to start checking everything off.
• [STRIKE]change all the clocks[/STRIKE]

Have a great day everyone.

Hi all!
thank you so much to everyone for their messages! has helped me a lot! the plot has thickened after my folks went round, one of the lads got a bit shirty with my dad, and to make matters worse, the girl that rents the house wasnt even there and, she had left the house in charge of another girl, who herself wasnt there at the time!! so i still havent spoken to the person that is renting the house. had a wonderful sleep at the parents last night so feeling better and able to deal with it a bit better, my boyfriend is visiting for a few days so will def feel better tomo. i just want to warn the person who is renting the property that next time, police, council and LL will be contatcted!

so will hopefully get some things done today and my whole weekend wont of been wasted:
so i need to:

• change money into euros for city break to rome next week.
• do daily clicks and scratch card
• washing at 30
• drying out on the line
• tidy the house a bit
• ironing :mad:
• pray for a relatively peaceful evening and the courage to speak to next door!

Andan - Sorry your tendons are sore, thats one of the reasons I dont do many massages now as I found it was getting very sore in my wrists especially doing things like the petrissage. Website looks FANTASTIC!!

Hi pipsmum, hope little pip is alright and nice to see you on here, inbetween mad baby things. Its been all the hedge trimming thats hurt my tendons but want to be careful as my OH is a painter and decorator and hurt his tendons previously and they were popping out and ever since he has had real problems with them, hence not wanting to over do it. We are a good trades family, have often thought we could buy a house and do it up, he can decorate etc and i will give massages to people for some free labour:rotfl:

Urg, good luck with the massage, like i said, i would get someone from that site as i have chatted to some good folk on there who are all very passionate about what they do.

Painted lady, hope all is ok with you and take care of yourself.

Calling it a day for my to do list today, anything else can wait:rolleyes: . Off for a quick hour at the gym, where I will be bleached, bubbled, steamed and showered into relaxation mode after my swim, jacuzzi, sauna and shower.

See you later xxx
