    Hi everyone - am very tired, didnt sleep well and had a restless night, but need to get up early as little one and i have got the dentist.

    Love n hugs to all, especially Egon and those feeling poorly!

    grateful - BF wasnt my little ones dad and we didnt live together so little one is ok really - life for him is just the same as normal. Normally by the time BF came over after work, LO was in bed anyway. This weekend was a busy weekend for us so he has been too preoccupied to ask why he isnt here.

      Good morning all. Hope everyone enjoyed the bank holiday weekend. I went to visit DD at uni so no flying and as I am up and about thought would catch up with the new thread before school - no chance :confused:

      So I will have a catch up later if I get time. Decided to try and aim for two stars each week and try and alternate rooms so that everything gets done properly every few weeks. Need to aim for living room as one of them as although it's tidy it needs a clean and the floor certainly needs a vacuum and wash. Sure there are some cobwebs lurking too but have not let myself look too closely :D

      Also decided my 15 things to do list was too optimistic as haven't managed it any week so cutting it down to 7 (with the idea that there is one thing to do a day but aiming to review it on a Friday evening and then add a few things for the weekend). So my list this week is:

      7 tasks for this week
      1. apply for grant
      2. check out thingy for DDs car
      3. menu plan
      4. shopping list (remember strimmer fuse)
      5. email sis
      6. sew buttons on dress and mend cardigan and t-shirt
      7. PM Serena re trip

      OK off for breakfast now then will try and do HCC before work and start the day on a positive note.
      Proud to be dealing with my debts

      Morning everyone

      Both eyes still gungy and itchy but I can see I think! V. grey out there this morning - looks like it might rain. But never mind, as long as it's fine for the week of the 16th!

      Have a lovely day people. I will fly when I get home
      I am the leading lady in the movie of my life

      Got to give the utility room another coat of paint, I ran out yesterday so need to pop round to OH's to blag the tub that he got....then the floor to paint. No need for me to buy a shed cause I'm recycling OH's one, it's a proper wooden shed (planks) that he built himself and it's mahoosive so loads of room for junk, but that wont be yet but saved hundreds of pounds :money: shall have to make him a nice tea that day :D
