    Also changed the water filter as it's been blinking since Friday! Oops :o
    Made my lunch for today
    Watched rest of a DVD and emailed notes on the film to a friend at work who has an assignment due in today and I said I'd help as I'd seen the film before.

    For some random and bizare(sp?) reason my doorbell decided to ring at 3.34AM:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:!!! I opened my eyes and decided the only reason I would get up was if the house was on fire, sniffed, no smoke went back to sleep! :rotfl: Bloomin thing!!! I'm sure if someone was there they'd of tried banging on the door but there was no banging :)
    Got to leave work early today to go see quack (Dr) and see what he says, fingers crossed he can be pursuaded not to sign me off :)

    Toots hope your feeling refreshed this morning
    pigpen hope your feeling a little better
    *Hugs* for everyone

    Morning - not so bright here today, its been raining all night and is still pouring but the allotment needs it badly and at least it will fill the water buts down there t save me lugging it down in the trailer again.

    OH has text to say can I get him on an earlier Chunnel crossing as he's only 60 miles from calais and isnt booked on until 4.20 this afternoon. If he can get there by 11.50 he can change without a supplement but after that its another £41 - how do they work that out :confused:. Have spoken to him and he said he'd really have to push it to get then for 11.50 so isnt worth it in the rain so will just have to see what time he gets back.

    DD is in a grump as she wanted a shopping trip today but I am not going out in this weather so have told her if it eases by munchtime then we'll just go into town rather than Norwich or Peterborough.

    Better go get breakfast and showered as I messed up the kitchen last night making jam and some of it is still there this morning :rolleyes:

    Catch ya in a bit
    Mortgage, we're getting there with the end in sight £6587 07/23, otherwise free of the debt thanks to MSE help!

    Morning my lovlies
    How is everyone today
    I am feeling ok - slept pretty good - apart from one peculiar dream:confused:
    have managed to get caught up with you all I think.........

    3onitsway welldone - first day and first star!! enjoy your day with the children - how is the little pink bundle doing?
    well done michelle - keep the list small and you will feel more sense of achievement- then you can add other things as required - I am concentrating on the kitchen too.
    lilysue I saw the gently programme wheile I was in hospital - I enjoyed it but then I have always had a soft spot for Martin Shaw:o - hope the aches get easier.
    froddy what a great feeling that you can have someone in your house without fretting - well done to you:T
    rosepink - I hope you feel better today - IMHO I think you would feel better if you got dressed and tried to do some bits around the house - its very easy to get into a habit of doing nothing but watching tv.

    The girls prepared the wendy house with paper chains and welcome home banners for DD1's return on Friday.

    So no... I've only had messmakers!!
    Has DD1 been away - i missed that or did you mean DS1 - is he home with GF and jacob - I thought you said end of June before they are back?:confused:

    *sob*

    I was thinking of you all and I did the visualisation in the dining room with the candle (sounds like Cluedo) - DS was on the PC and I am just now catching up and Miss A's post has done for me!

    *deep breath*
    - this (post done in bits BTW)
    yes it did for me too Valli - will be keeping that little phrase in my head i think!!:D
    deniseNZ - good luck with the lodgers!! you are a star!
    bevan - well done getting the dishes finished - little appliances next - just work away through the list one bit at a time for now - hope the visit to the doctors goes ok
    kazm no its not worth the risk if the roads are wet and greasy - what about getting DD to tidy a bit of her room or you dont go shopping?

    thanks again everybody for the vibes, thoughts, prayers and candles last night - I really believe our positive thinking will make a difference.:A:A:A:A

    right need to go get washed and dressed before online delivery arrives (10-12) and then will do some more kitchen. It is dry and ok at the moment so will try to get a little bit of washing hung out and dried.
    back soon
    toots xx
    Peace will be mine
