It's really important that I get my house and life sorted out because I find it really difficult to concentrate on doing a task if the house is a mess and unfortunately with three littlies and an untidy house, it always is and I never get around to doing things I should be doing so I need help;)

Mudbath and Froddy hugs and healing vibes for both of your dads and you both too.

Domino Sue hugs for your sis - that must have been very emotional and difficult week for you -no wonder you are drained. I hope your sis finds the strength to cope on her own - I can see your phone bill going through the roof. I know its easy to say but try not to get too stressed yourself about her - you wont be any good to her if you are poorly (((hugs))) And No you are not being harsh- you are just a stronger person. she has a huge hill to climb and will need to be encouraged and praised for each baby step she takes but she will get there.
mummyyof5 (((hugs)))I know how you feel - I start looking forward and planning the next visit to try to bring it around quicker - well it seems that way!
welcome floxxie :xmastree:will send you a pm in a mo. this is def the place to get organised - but i warn you we are all quite mad!!!!!!!:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
Good luck to all the children going back to school this week and the teachers too - how long to the summer holidays:rotfl: I hope this term goes smoothly for all of you.

Thanks to everyone for your continued lovely thoughts to me for my treatment - I know its helping having you all with me in spirit.:A

Thanks pigpen and toots for the lists. I am in again this week but back down to mostly level ones. I have made headway in the kitchen so should be able to maintain level 3 or close to it. My aim this week it to survive the return to work and routine while not letting downstairs slip back to landfill status.

DS turns 4 on sat and this week and we have an appointment with the speech and language people. Next week he goes in to have grumits put in and have his adenoids removed. So we are not having a party but we will celebrate small as a family.

Toots hope you are feeling well. I have 5 weeks until half term then 8 weeks to summer hols, 1 lesson until yr 9 (now we have to mark them) sats and about 5 lessons until yr 11 go. :eek::eek: Not that I am counting!!!! :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Johanne our LOs share a birthday.

Morning everyone

FFP - glasses - I do what 3tabbys does - rinse 'em under the hot tap!
Greenbee - thanks for the explanation! Interesting that no-one knows what your team does!
Rach - have a good trip
Toots - hope things continue to go smoothly this week
welcome Floxxie

Been awake for quite a while. Tried the ABC of pop groups and actually got to Z! So I'm tired before the day has begun!

Will fly when I get home.

Have a great day ladies and gents

Morning everyone A nice early start for me, mainly because I wanted to get a load of towels in the washing machine so I could take advantage of the nice weather today

I'm also making a start on the ironing mound -
Now I know this isn't a lot compared to some people but when there is only two of us that live here it is a lot!! It's also in a 60ltr storage box. So this is my MACAW for this week - clear this lot by the end of the week so I have NONE to do at the weekend!! I wish I liked ironing then it wouldn't get this bad, and I could be like my friend and iron it as it dries..oh to be in lalala land!!! Still the good thing is the washing baskets are almost empty I reakon I will be hunting around for washing this week - someone better tell the dogs to keep out of my way otherwise they could be next!!!

Is a happy bunny at the moment as DH came home with four boxes of Borax from Boots at the weekend. Bless him he looked in all the supermarkets/wilkos in town and finally found them in Boots. I think he bought the stock on the shelves. Hope the shop assistant didn't give him a funny look..lol

Welcome to the newbies for this week, you'll love it here and so will your house

Valli - if it hasn't already been answered, you can get soda crystals from Wilkos, any supermarket (in the washing powder isle!).

Mudbath I hope it isn't too long before your dad's eye heals fully, *hugs* to you both.
