    Good Morning everyone.

    I didnt get up till 9.45am which is very unusual for me. Though I have been feeling really tired this week. I think a lot of it is due to whats going on at work. My manager is going to try and sort out my bus problem. It makes it a 13 hour shift at the moment. I did offer a couple of suggestions yesterday and she will think about them.

    So far today.

    Dailies done.
    One load of washing.

    Going to do bathroom and spare room.

    kazmeister Mum is fine thank you for asking.

    rosepink What lovely in laws you have. A really nice thing for them to do for you.

    greenbee Big hugs for you.

    kazwookie Glad you stopped the car and you are ok. Thats really scary.

    JillD Im glad tea times are better for you. I liked the joke.

    Soappie Hope your knee feels better soon. Good luck with working out plan B.

    pigpen Sending healing headache vibes for you.

    Morning :hello:

    Went to dd's school mass earlier, and have come back and completed Thursday's list :D:j:D I had done a few of the jobs last weekend, so the list did not take too long this morning :D

    Morning sickness is starting to kick in _pale_, so I am going to stop and try and eat something. I feel so tired today for no particular reason, so I might try and have a lie down when ds has his nap. Thinking of you all and hugs to anyone who needs them. Abbie xxx

    My head is cottonwool today and I can't concentrate. I'm going to try blasting some Bon Jovi and laying on the floor with my books to work and see if that helps :confused: It used to work when I was in school :rotfl:

    [STRIKE]Binbag dance (doesn't have to be in one room it can be from all over the house!)[/STRIKE] Cleared out the understairs cupboard a bit more and chucked some larger items out which were only fit for the bin.
    Level Three
    tidy the cupboards of clothes
    [STRIKE]Catch up on important phone calls[/STRIKE] None to make ATM :D
    Wipe grotty marks from the walls and paintwork

    I've also
    • put dry washing (bedding & curtains) from the other day away, except the pair that needs to go up in my room but my arms are aching too much to lift them up ATM. Will try later when I've taken another dose of medicine (due the next one at erm...1pm)
    • gathered all the washing together thats upstairs and dragged it down the stairs to wash (DD needs a blouse and tights for school tomorrow :mad: ),
    • put my new sheets in to wash again with lots of conditioner in the hopes they might soften up a bit more as they were as stiff as anything,
    • Got together all the lurking hats/scarves/gloves and put them in the wash so they can be put away with the winter stuff tomorrow (just putting the thicker stuff away for now, all the jumpers and winter bedding can go away in half-term ;) )
    • spoken to my mum on the phone
    I need to decide what to do with the 2 storage boxes of crockery/kitchen-alia I have under the stairs. I haven't used them since ex moved out and really they're just taking up space, so do I freecycle them or not? I think I'd keep the rest of the dinner service I have in there (2 plates, 2 bowls, 2 sideplates) and maybe the mugs as we seem to go through alot of mugs in this house :o But I'm pretty sure I don't need erm, the tupplewear, and I think I put a couple of pans and oven dishes in there too.... will leave digging it out and looking through until the bank holiday weekend :shhh:

    Oh well, I should really try and get this work done... off to clear the floor and shut the blinds/window in the livingroom ;) Then I guess I better put this bedding thats just finished out on the line :rolleyes: THEN I'll start my paperwork :o:rotfl: :wave:

    Is there any bit of your home you are not redoing?
    :rotfl: well no aunty but it wont be getting all done at the moment - in stages as I can afford to do it - nothing has been done since the re-wiring- B&Q hav 15% off which ends tonight and I am trying to get matching doors but because of the width (33 inches) they have to be ordered and take 2-4 weeks so I thought I would try and get the 4 doors I need just now so that they are all the same and I will save about 40-45 pounds so that almost pays for 1 door!
    Hope that make sense!!!
    boddy thats a long day - hope the boss sorts something out for you - thank goodness you are on a countdown to finishing- you couldnt cope with that indefinately.
    mozzy I have narrowed my choice down - I want 2 half glazed and 2 solid - and B&Q was the best for me.
    well done on all the flying ladies _ I wish I could get going !
    enjoy the rest of your day
    toots xx
    Peace will be mine
    could do better - must try harder
