    Morning my friends!
    Another bright day here but probably cold.
    Couldnt quite get myself going this morning but will keep trying!!

    polly had to chuckle at the 'paintbrushes and sponges' - very strange!!!!
    I know its not nice but the other cat is bringing you 'presents' in his mind! There are several cats around here and I am always shooing them away when they are trying to creep up on the wee birds.
    83rachel well done - you have a good plan there -just didnt want to see you getting overwhelmed!
    AnW'sMum hello! No ironing - WOW!!!!:T
    mozzy glad you are going to Doctor - hope they find out whats wrong - take it easy (hugs)
    Sorry pigpen....back to flying. The kitchen is spotless :D
    does that mean you have done the list and need a star???

    Dominosue that will be a lovley weekend - glad the lists are making a difference
    twinmummy Happy Birthday to your DH for tomorrow :bdaycake:
    SpiritoftheSouthWest :xmastree: will get you back on the list - time management is my problem too! I spend waaaaaaaaay too long on here!!
    TAG and Pigpen hope you both manage to get some sleep and get back into proper sleep patterns Huge (((hugs))) to you both.
    iriedaughter OMG what a weekend you have had - poor DS and now DD - I hope they both are feeling a bit better today and make a full recovery -I hope too that you havent picked up their bugs -take it easy - you will get back on top of things - just a bit at a time - you know it works. (((hugs))) Is there no-one who could come and help you or watch the children while you do some tidying?
    rosepink you are doing really well but whats this I see - running out of clean dishes ...again:rotfl: I think your walking is a brilliant idea and you could do it as a HHE? I know you arent planning doing 30 mins but you can do as much as you can. Do you have a dailies list? If not what about starting one with 2 things -
    1. Go for a walk
    2. wash dishes (at least 6 things!)
    and then you would be able to cross them off and see you are achieving something everyday. You have come a long way as triker said and we want to help you go further.
    xx_Jo_xx :wave: you are meant to be relaxing not cleaning kitchens - not one but 2!!!!! You sound like you are having a good time - will be in touch later.
    FFP soory to hear you are still poorly and OH and DS1 too - take it easy - and eat!!!!!
    freedom2b that must have been scary - you were lucky it wasnt worse ((hugs)))
    vix_1978 hello and welcome - will send you a pm shortly!

    Big (((hugs))) to all the flypeople who are not well or have poorly children.

    so far I
    have caught up with the thread and stars
    have had breakfast
    have changed my watch and a clock I missed yesterday
    have emptied the bins
    have cleaned the toaster after my breakfast
    have emptied the DW

    not much but about to get really stuck in - there's a joke!:rotfl:

    back later before I go out to my friend's.
    toots xx

    Morning all

    Right then in my HHC I clean the work surface and unit and small appliances. Put one small appliance away. Saves me welcoming it again until I use it again. Cleaned the oven and microwave oven. Also managed to get rid of 2 hotspots :j :j. Also managed to move a few toys that were in the living room to upstairs and brought some different toys (not so many)down. Took more than half hour but I am pleased.

    Going to have a :coffee: then get DD and get my exhaust fixed so then I will be able to actually hear the radio.

    As you can see, I've been flying really well this morning despite sleeping in till 9 am :eek: so much for an early start. DH didn't wake me as he said I must have needed the sleep. Very sweet of him but unfortunately it doesn't help with the flying.

    Apart from the above I've also done the following:-

    WM x 1
    Washing hung on line
    Yesterday's laundry folded and put away
    DW loaded and on
    Email read and deleted as necessary
    Bed made
    Bathroom S&S
    Washroom S&S
    Toilets cleaned
    Post dealt with

    I'm on a roll today if I get the fridge done, I will have earned a star:T


    I haven't had time to catch up on the thread; so if I've missed any happy occasion I'm sorry but enjoy the day and hugs to those in need.
