    Rosep The problem with me is that when I'm on a good day I tend to try and get everything done, I'm slowly learning that when I do that it makes things worse, it's just too irressistable to try and get all I want done, done on a good day :o

    I know exactly what you mean as Mum was the same for years. She would have a good day and try to do everything. Now she paces herself, and has discovered that the energy carries over, so a good day can turn into three or four goodish days, instead of one good day and then several bad days due to doing everything on the good day IYSWIM! I'm sure you will learn what your body can and can't do and the best way to manage your condition.

    Well,that was an extremely busy HHC. In fact, it was more like 40 mins! I finished the washing up (yay, no more washing up at all waiting to be done!) and then moved a pot that has spatulas and wooden spoons in and there was all this gunk under it :confused: so I moved out the knife block and two pots and had a good clean up of all the slime :o It was gross. And I've cleaned the hob thoroughly. And I've taken out two bags of rubbish. If the flat inspector lady arrives now, it will be fine. If not, I might clean the bathroom sink and hooover up. I will see how i feel later - I need a rest now!

    Oh my goodness - TOOTLES IS BACK!!!! That's made my day! Welcome back tootles...you have been missed sooooooooooooooo much!!!!!! Your list for today is rest, rest and more rest!!!!!!! Massive hugs to you xxx

    Pigpen - hugs to hazel....poor little pud. May the person who did it have snails eat their brain and body parts fall off on a regular basis!

    My back is still poop. Stripes doesn't understand why we walk so slowly on her walk. I'm ok if I walk slowly but that's about it. Ah well...it could be so much worse!

    My aim is to just s/s slowly through the day and prepare for going away tonight.

    Hugs to everyone especially to Tootles, LL and Hazel xxx

    Good morning everyone, sun is shining ((hugs)) for anyone who needs one or would just like one on this wonderful day.....

    :j:jWASPS HAVE GONE!!!! Man came out and removed the nest this morning, he said it was the largest one he's dealt with this year and was 6/7 weeks old....which makes sense as we've not really used the garden since Easter so they have set up home whilst all was quiet. DS2 can play in his craft shed from tomorrow.

    Going to get a wriggle on today and get some stuff done. I am going out after school with the boys, we have a consultation with an artist about accessible parks he's going to help them do a 3D model of their dream park for the research project :D DS1s drawn his already and DS2 loves building models so sure it will go well. Have come up with an initial list for while they are at school

    Hour minimum study time
    Fill DW
    Empty WM and put duvet in, then this on line when done
    Take some of clean laundry upstairs - there is a lot
    Clear kitchen benches
    Wipe kitchen benches
    Fling at least 51 items
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:
