    I didnt really manage this very well so far this week. Feeling bit better health wise today, so I am hoping to at least catch up on some level ones!. Luckily the twins are both expected to be at home today, so they can do some of it with me!.(I hope)!
    When I die I will know that I have lived, loved, mattered and made a difference, even if in a small way.

    morning Sleepy.gif

    had a terrible night because i've got a bad flu now on top :confused:
    can't move my head without it hurting, can't swallow, my ears hurt :(
    this will be a looooooooong day ...


    Jill that's always a tricky one with interrupting nice play! depends on what happens after dinner really.
    i found an important thing to do is to give them kind of a countdown. like 'in 5 minutes we'll put the things away and have dinner' - maybe 10min but too long ahead, and keep reminding them in the beginning so after 2 min again and 2 min again.
    because many times they are kind of shocked of the rapid change of activity! does that make sense?

    geocaching: go on the website geocaching and have a look yourself.
    there are lots in towns and the ones we've done so far were easily accessable (oh but one :rolleyes: ) - the last one we did was a nice walk through the woods on very nice wide paths!

    and i've also sent you a pm - was too long for here :D


    rach ~~good luck vibes~~ coming your way!!!

    Sunnygirl great achievement that you did go for your run!!

    pigpen great news!! money AND sleep - i do envy you the sleep though :rolleyes:

    mrsmorten ~~good luck vibes~~ and i hope you'll be home soon!!! and we want pictures :D

    LadyL Happy Birthday!!!!!!!! 8f0cb8bb.gif


    no idea if i manage anything today.
    i do have to go and get some medicine though otherwise i won't survive at all!
    but i've done the whole house ystd anyways so i should be able to strike everything off the list

    Morning all :wave:

    I meant to say last night, I have 2 pairs of girls pjs, Bratz, 1 aged 6/7, 1 aged 8/9, never worn, still got labels on them. They look a bit small to me for the sizes. They are from Mackays and I cant remember if Mackays are small for sizes? Anyway, who would like them?

    I ended up putting stuff back in the linen cupboard, but a strange valli like obsession has come over me. I couldnt put the crumpled stuff back in so I started ironing :confused: Most of it is back in, but I have a few sheets etc to iron first. What have you lot done to me???? ;)

    Oh G&B, well done on your reply to the eejit in the Arms. You were spot on!

    Right, back on the phone to try and get a Drs appt :( Back in an hour or two probably...

    SSL xx
