AnW'sMum, just checked, it is fixed, the skewers sound like an idea for the cheese string and OH is bringing the strong hoover down on Friday so that should do the bits down there(caravan hoover is either dying or needs a new/clean filter as it is losing suction).
Will have a looksee in tesco later on, Thanks

Need to put some slap on and then make a move before I become permanantly fixed to the seat, I have had a shower so thats a start!!!!

In my HHC no2 I did these things above, and discovered I can't pay money to credit card company over phone, how stupid! actually I didn't do all these things as some done earlier, but this is where I'm up to!

I can't get organised today. Was supposed to have been at a meeting with Social Services today, but they rang and cancelled 15mins before I was due to go out of the door.! So I am not in housework mode. In a "posh" frock for a start. Well a nice one anyway. So its not the kind of thing I was planning to wear to clear the clutter etc!.
Feeling a bit sick at the moment too, thats not helping. I think that I did too much yesterday, and the pain could possibly be why I feel sick.
So my Wednesday list will have to wait for a bit longer. (Luckily last week the whole house was blitzed ready for the estate agent to show someone around, so its not so bad at the moment.,)

SSL, did have counseling once, then she went down with a terrible illness and couldn’t do it anymore! I think I’d like to try CBT which teaches you to challenge the wrong thoughts you have like “I am useless” and helps you to change them into good thoughts.
Thanks Soappie, I thought at first you wanted me to see you’ve thrown out a tatty old duvet cover and one chewed and useless dog lead and you wanted me to do some decluttering too! Then I realised what you really meant! Thaaaaaannnnnkkkk yooooooouuuuu!

Grateful – I like your style! That’s a great philosophy for life! I already do that without realising, it feels selfish sometimes, but I cope much better when I listen to my body and do what it asks!
Mummyof5 Glad to hear you can be on here all the time now!
Thanks Sunnygirl with the pink shoes, you are kind. My DR is good and so is DH, he really helps me to keep going.
Toots, I’m so glad your treatment went so well. I’m sure the rest of it will go really smoothly now! I was thinking of you at 3 today
LL – you probably have found me on FB via FFP, how many more abbreviations can I add and why is abbreviation such a long word? My initials are AW! Thanks for you kind words too. Don’t worry about the AD’s, I always think if I had diabetes or a heart condition I would take the meds and it’s just the same really.
Thanks Rach, Mummyof5, Valli, 3tabbycats, Boddy, Shazba, Jo, Toochoosey and Emily for the hugs and kind word
Welcome Daydreambeliever
Hugs DeniseNZ
Toots so glad your treatment went well and that you are going to have a lovely day today with your visitors!
WHAT DOES POGGERED MEAN????
Jill, you have really hit the nail on the head – it’s not really that I want to be dead, it’s just it feels like that is the only way to make the pain stop. I hope that you have more and more good days and the bad days get less. Having low self esteem is a big part of it, and I’m the same. I feel so useless sometimes and manage to convince myself that my DH and friends and family would be better off without me because then they wouldn’t have to look after me anymore. I’m doing a bit better today, just feel a bit muzzy headed. I’m sorry your friends aren’t very sympathetic, please keep posting about how you are and PM me any time as we will give you the support you need.
I hope you manage to sort out the money problems. I was hoping not to have to fill up the car before the rent day, but we had to last night. Fortunately I’d just got a £10 Sainsbury voucher from Toluna so that paid for the petrol! All those flippin surveys were worth it in the end!
I like your band thing – you would be good on PopMaster on Radio 2 to do the 3 in 10! You’d be able to name 3 songs by any band in 10 seconds!

Right everyone, I’ve still not caught up beyond p.26. Got to stop reading this and go and do something! I only woke up at 10:30 – ooops!

I’m off to the bank. DH gave me the £50 for diesel his mum gave him, and he took someone to hospital yesterday who gave him another £20, and we’ve both looked in our stashes of £1 and £2 coins, and we have managed to get £60 between us from there. And I’ve checked the online bank and we are only £20 shy of the rent now! Don’t know how that happened! The online bank is a mystery to me. By tomorrow it will probably say we are a million pounds short so I’m still going to put this money in, and we can always take it out again after. I’d rather not be fined again this month! That would be the first time ever in the whole of history we have not been fined when the rent goes out!

When I come back I promise to fly. Promise!

Sorry for such a long post. Adios

Drag out the pc desk and clear under and behind it ... see how good I am to you lot!? I can't move it alone, but I can put the hoover down the back & sides, I do hope that counts.

In my HHC I finished those bits in the bedroom, but mostly sorted through the cupboard which now houses the clean washing waiting to be sorted and dispatched. DDs now putting away their clean clothes... they always huff and strop till they're reminded that I've washed/dried and folded them all for them.

We have that problem with biological father and grandparents of DD1, its as though they think they are getting the upperhand by buying tarty, inappropriate and ill fitting clothing, instead of something she needs:mad:
